Spread the Word About What the Senate Is Doing

06/12/2013

The Senate voted yesterday to move forward on the Gang of Eight's immigration plan—which would grant amnesty to 11 million illegal immigrants.

Insanity is often defined as doing the same thing over and over yet expecting a different result. As Heritage's David Inserra points out, "Instead of new ideas, the current bill is essentially just recycling the flawed and failed ideas of the past."

>>> Help spread the word: This plan is the same amnesty we've seen before

Remember, once amnesty is granted it can never be taken away. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) took to the Senate floor yesterday to outline several reasons why we may be asking for a mulligan on this amnesty proposal.

With this bill, the American people are being sold a product. They're being asked to accept legalization. And in exchange, they'd be assured through this legislation that the laws are going to be enforced.

But this "product" contains all sorts of hidden agendas and faulty promises, with no guarantees that the promises will come true once the amnesty is in place.

"The Obama Administration has pushed the envelope by waiving welfare laws," Grassley reminded the Senate, so why should we assume the Administration wouldn't do it again? "The reality check for the American people is that there are loopholes and the potential for public benefits to go to those who are legalized under the bill."

The danger of putting too many things in one bill is that you end up having to pass it to see what's in it. But we know one thing: Amnesty for illegal immigrants is the first order of business.

We've tried it before, and it didn't work. This is the wrong way to address a serious issue with trillions in taxpayer dollars at stake.

Can you help us spread the word? Forward this email to a friend!
