What We're Learning About the 'Gang of Eight' Amnesty Plan

 

There appears to be general consensus on the need for immigration reform, but the devil is, as always, in the details.  As Sen. Ted Cruz has explained:

 

“There is widespread, bipartisan support for fixing our nation’s broken immigration system, and we should approach it by addressing those areas where we can reach agreement so that we actually have a chance of passing an effective bill into law.”

 

The so-called 'Gang of Eight' Immigration Reform proposal arrived on the scene with much promise, but review of the details of the plan are revealing that initial optimism may not have been well-placed.  The more Americans look at the plan, the less many Americans like it.  In the words of Former Sen. Jim DeMint:

 

"I think if people read the bill, that it will be blocked...because once you get into it, just like Obamacare, it is not the way it’s been advertised."

 

Sen. Rand Paul has also noticed disturbing similarities to Obamacare:

 

“To me, it's a little bit like Obamacare...I hate to bring that up, but 1,800 references to the secretary shall at a later date decide things. We don't write bills around here. We should write the bill. We should write the plan."

 

While the proposal is being sold, in part, as a means of securing the borders and improving security generally, the front-line border patrol and immigration officers have been shut completely out of the process:

“A mass legalization, or amnesty, of millions of illegal aliens, combined with an increase in future immigration, will have profound consequences for every law enforcement officer in the country and especially those who enforce our nation’s immigration laws...But we have been shut out of the process.” - ICE Union President Chris Crane

 

Former INS Special Agent Michael Cutler echoes Mr. Crane's concerns, warning that the bill is 'a national security nightmare.'

4. The Border Security and Enforcement "Triggers" are Not Based on Results, or Even Activity, but Rather on 'Plans' for Future Activity...
