Is Menendez Playing Political Football by Introducing His Amnesty Bill A...

...Day Before Congressional Recess? In a final attempt to woo amnesty advocates into the voting booths this November, Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ), the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee Chairman, introduced an amnesty bill late Wednesday, just as members of Congress were leaving town. (Roll Call, Sept. 30, 2010) The 874-page bill, entitled the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2010 (CIR Act of 2010), would exponentially increase the number of immigrants in the country to unprecedented levels by: (1) granting amnesty to the estimated 13 million illegal aliens currently in the U.S.; (2) permitting them to bring in their spouses, children, and other relatives from other countries; and (3) by issuing hundreds of thousands of new green cards through the process the authors call “recapture.â€

Under S.3932, illegal aliens are granted amnesty through the process of becoming a “Lawful Prospective Immigrant.†In order to be eligible for such status, S.3932 requires that the alien be physically present in the U.S. before September 30, 2010, submits biometric and biographic data, undergoes a background check, and is not ineligible for admission under a few select provisions of preexisting immigration law. (S.3932 § 501) However, the bill still provides eligibility to illegal aliens who have violated laws, including those relating to controlled substances, and prostitution. It also provides eligibility for illegal aliens who are a public charge, have falsely claimed or misrepresented their immigration status in the past, and who have been previously been deported (for any reason). (Id. § 501(b)(3))

Similar to previous amnesty bills debated in 2006 and 2007, the CIR Act of 2010:
Includes the DREAM Act, which would grant amnesty to illegal aliens up to the age of 35 who meet minimal educational requirements. ( Includes AgJOBS, which would grant amnesty to illegal aliens who have worked in the U.S. agriculture industry and their family members. (Id. at §§475-484)
However, unlike previous amnesty bills, the CIR Act of 2010 also:
Preempts all state and local laws pertaining to immigration such that these entities would be left powerless to enforce immigration laws in the absence of federal action. (S.3932 § 131)
Includes the Uniting American Families Act, which would permit legal permanent residents and citizens to petition to bring their same-sex partners to the U.S. and grant them U.S. citizenship within three years. (S.3932 §§ 421-430)
Creates a new executive agency to annually determine the number of guest workers eligible for admission. (Id. at § 401(a))
Mandates free legal services to illegal alien detainees for civil proceedings—a right that not even U.S. citizens are afforded. (Id. at §§ 241(9); 254(b)(2)(F))
Grants illegal alien detainees the “right†to free prompt and adequate medical care, including primary, emergency, chronic, and reproductive health care, including providing free medication and hormonal therapies such as birth control. (Id. at § 249(a))
These new provisions in the CIR Act of 2010 do nothing more than expand previous unsuccessful attempts by pro-amnesty legislators to grant amnesty to illegal aliens and dramatically increase overall levels of immigration And, just as Americans overwhelmingly rejected those proposals, this legislation is already proving to be completely out of touch with average Americans.
Do you think this will pass?
Do you think it should pass ?
I know its long but its very important .
