Kyl some slack regarding his participation in helping craft this un-necessary legislation, I sit in amazement that someone with his political history failed to accurately assess the visceral anger that was seething on mainstreet America regarding our Federal government’s abject failure to enforce the provisions of the previous amnesty bill of 1986. And with his tenure as a politician, his fingerprints are on the smoking gun as much as any others regarding that failure to enforce our nation’s immigration laws.
I have been a registered Republican all my voting life, and now at age 64 I have left the party that left me. As a veteran, I did not serve my country simply to sit on the sidelines and watch my government undermine the sovereignty of this nation that so many paid with their lives to protect and defend.
This supposed Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill is nothing but a repeat of the same smoke and mirrors we were fed in 1986. In the 20+ years since the enactment of that legislation, our representatives have been purchased by business/corporate interests so that they would have a continued supply of cheap, exploitable labor with which to enhance their bottom lines. I see little the average citizen can do in face of this entrenched cabal of self-serving politicians and sorporate interst groups. My mind does tend to ponder the French Revolution at times such as this.
