Hugh Hewitt has a fantastic analysis of the immigration bill that has been drafted and passed in the House.
I read all 8 parts, and Hugh did a great job translating text for the average reader. Here’s his final analysis:
There are so many problems with this bill that it should not be introduced in the Senate absent a period of open hearings on it and the solicitation of expert opinion from various analysts across the ideological spectrum. Even were it somehow to improbably make its way to the president’s desk, if it does so before these problems are aired and confronted, the Congress would be inviting a monumental distrust of the institution. There is simply too much here to say “Trust us,” and move on. The jam down of such a far reaching measure, drafted in secret and very difficult for laymen much less lawyers to read, is fundamentally inconsistent with how we govern ourselves.
From TLB:
If those who forged this “compromise” have their way, this bill will be voted on as early as Tuesday. That’s a crazily short amount of time for Senators — let alone the American public — to review, understand, and have a voice on the substance of such a complex bill.
Also TLB has formed a very nice breakdown of this bill for readers online. The Point in this is to breakdown each topic that the bill discusses, and allow readers to leave comments on each specific part of the bill. This is a great way for you to speak out on any part of the bill that you agree/disagree with, so if you decide to read it, leave some comments on areas you think are important. Check it out here.
Take notice people…
Immigration is a MAJOR issue in our country. It’s not something that should be taken lightly. The way our legislature is pushing this through is totally reprehensible. I pray they consider stretching it out so the American people and all Senators get a chance to look this bill over very carefully before deciding on such a big issue.
