Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Chuck Schumer (D-NY), are urging Congress not to stop or delay the Gang of Eight’s immigration reform because of the Boston Marathon bombings. Sen. Marco Rubio’s spokesman, Alex Conant, warned on Friday, “The situation in Boston is still developing and it’s too soon to jump to conclusions, let alone use the tragedy to make political points,” referring to the Boston Marathon bombers, who were legalized in the U.S.— two brothers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, from Russia.
Let’s cut to the chase. If the Gang of Eight’s so-called immigration reform legislation becomes law, expect the number of illegal aliens that will be legalized in a broken, crime riddled agency, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), to explode. Everyone from family members, step children, gang members and drunk drivers are welcome to apply. Moreover, as Crime & Incompetence: Guide to America’s Immigration Crisis documents, the USCIS can’t process legal immigrants competently let alone millions of illegal aliens. Even the Government Accountability Office has warned that the USCIS does not operate using “best practices.” These are just some of many reasons why this reckless bill should be scrapped immediately.
Gang of Eight welcomes gang members and drunk drivers
On page 606 of the Gang of Eight’s 844-page legislation called, “Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act,” under “Subtitle G—Interior Enforcement, Sec. 3701: Criminal street gangs,” we learn that gang members (with no prior convictions) can apply for a waiver by simply “renouncing” their associations with street gangs.
“‘(ii) WAIVER.—The Secretary may waive clause (i)(II) if the alien has renounced all association with the criminal street gang, is otherwise admissible, and is not a threat to the security of the United States (bold mine).’’
On page 608 drunk drivers are welcome too if they have only been busted three times before the Gang of Eight’s bill is enacted.
‘‘(J) HABITUAL DRUNK DRIVERS.—An alien convicted of 3 or more offenses on separate dates, at least 1 of which occurred after the date of the enactment of the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, related to driving under the influence or driving while intoxicated is inadmissible (bold mine).’’
For illegal aliens who have already been kicked out of America? No problem if they have only been kicked out twice (page 614).
