10 Things to Never Forget about “Gang of Eight” Amnesty Bill

10 Things to Never Forget about “Gang of Eight” Amnesty Bill
N&V Staff
November 23, 2015

a

Sen. Jeff Sessions and Rep. Dave Brat recently wrote an oped published by Roll Call in Washington, DC titled “Memo to GOP: Curb Immigration or Quit.”  In it they wrote…

“America is about to break every known immigration record. And yet you are unlikely to hear a word about it.

“The Census Bureau projects that the foreign-born share of the U.S. population will soon eclipse the highest levels ever documented, and will continue surging to new record highs each year to come.

Yet activists and politicians who support unprecedented levels of immigration are never asked to explain how they believe such a policy will affect social stability, community cohesion or political assimilation.

“They can simply cry out, ‘We must pass immigration reform!’ without ever explaining what they believe ‘immigration reform’ means.”

Sessions’ Communications Director, Stephen Miller, followed up the column with a reminder of just what the “Gang of Eight” version of immigration reform meant…

  1. It provided illegal immigrants with welfare, entitlements, lifetime work authorization, chain migration and every other benefit under the sun (even as sponsors pledged the exact opposite)

  2. It doubled the number of foreign workers brought into the country to take jobs at lower wages

  3. It tripled the number of green cards (despite the record presence of 42 million foreign-born residents in the U.S. and the desire of 92% of Republicans to curb future immigration growth)

  4. It provided instant no-strings-attached amnesty, followed by citizenship beginning in 5 years – with no requirement to learn English or pay back taxes (in fact, illegal aliens received free tax credits)

  5. It gave legal status to sex offenders, gang members and drunk drivers (again, as sponsors claimed the exact opposite)

  6. It destroyed enforcement forever, allowing Secretary of DHS to waive enforcement for virtually any reason

  7. It was opposed by ICE officers, USCIS officers and border sheriffs (and Gang of Eight members met in secret to sabotage all amendments to improve it)

  8. It was beloved, championed, cheered, celebrated and lovingly embraced by Pelosi, Reid, Obama and every single Senate Democrat – along with ever progressive outfit in America

  9. It delivered spectacularly for billionaire special interests who backed it like Mark Zuckerberg

  10. It delivered nothing for American workers and loyal voters but economic and financial devastation

The so-called Gang of Eight included Republican U.S. Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake, as well as Republican presidential candidates Sen. Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio.
