50 Bullets: The Rubio-Schumer Scam

Bullets: The Rubio-Schumer Scam

The bill makes America less safe, not more.

The Gang of Eight Immigration bill is constructed to deceive the public. Not only is the bill a national security risk it simply smells Obamacare Part Deux. Seemingly good slogans are thrown around from the same people who brought you the Obamacare nightmare; but this time add-in four cafeteria Republicans. One being Marco Rubio.

As PJ Media points out, the bill is a cocktail of lawlessness, executive discretion, and legalistic trickery crafted by the organized, open-borders left. The bill and Rubio provides tough talking points – border security, background checks, and more. But hidden next to those talking points are off-switches that bureaucrats can flip to satisfy the leftist open-borders constituencies who wrote the bill.

The language of the bill doesn’t come close to what Rubio says. Practically every Rubio claim is empty. The comprehensive effects from chain migration alone will bury the Republic. The bill establishes a New Americans Task Force charged with ensuring that federal programs “adequately address” the healthcare, education, and job training needs of new immigrants (Sec. 2524).

Besides halting deportations for 2.5 years during the amnesty process, the bill ties the hands of front-line immigration officers and border agents, as if they were the lawless characters, and places the border officers under the thumb of the Justice Department; Office of Civil Rights (Sec. 1111, 1112, 1113).

Once illegals gain provisional legal status, which is immediately, they’ll qualify for in-state tuition rates at public colleges, a subsidy funded by taxpayers (Sec. 2245D(d)). And even worse for fiscal conservatives, virtually all funding is classified “emergency” under the Statutory ‘Pay As You Go Act’ of 2010. Spending on food stamps, Head Start, housing subsidies, other benefits will expand unlimited.

Rubio’s scheme would add an additional 33 million permanent workers via amnesty and future immigration in the first decade alone. Thirty three million is the equivalent of the top 20 most populated cities in the US. And, Sen. Sessions has uncovered a slick loophole  that provides illegal aliens with guaranteed access to all welfare and entitlement programs. All this is what the media is not telling you.

But the Rubio-Schumer con-game has no end. Rubio says illegals will have to ‘get in line’. Guess what? The line is 19 years long. To clear it in ten years requires doubling the number of legal immigrants. And under the Gang of Eight plan, the number of H1-B visas expand more than two-fold. Today, the US brings in 1.2 million ‘legal immigrants’ per year; more than rest of the world combined.

The Bill is huge, complex and progressive. It is designed to serve politicians. And like Obamacare, the bill is not the way it is being advertised. According to a Heritage study, the Rubio-Schumer amnesty price tag is $6.3 trillion and that does not analyze the entire Immigration bill, just the amnesty portion. Oh, and Rubio’s scheme calls for: a national biometric database on all adult Americans.

But, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And, Rubio-Schumer have shown none. Zero. Advertised as a comprehensive reform to secure the border and strengthen the immigration laws before allowing legalization. It does neither. It weakens the border and it is instant Amnesty. The bill makes America less safe, not more.

This bill has no guarantee of enforcement. The Rubio-Schumer scheme is a national security risk. The bill makes America less safe, not more. Just listen to this ICE agent in Senate testimony. Imagine, if you will, a bill that legalizes 30 million illegal aliens, and only 0.01% were terrorists, that would be 3,000 terrorists. Rubio’s amnesty scheme serves as a magnet for more illegal aliens because enforcement provisions are ‘fake’

Nearly every form of enforcement promised in this bill was also promised in the 1986, 1990, and 1996 Immigration Acts. But, Rubio’s deceit circus marches on, now promoting a ‘fake’ 2X border fencing security amendment. Note to Marco. Your fake amendment is already law, mandated seven [7] years ago, in The Secure Fence Act of 2006.  Lastly, those hardest hit by the Rubio-Schumer amnesty scheme will continue to be those who want to be admitted legally – as well as – the US taxpayers.
