Sen. Graham; “EARNED CITIZENSHIP?”

You “earn” citizenship by following the rules an not by breaking into the country in the dead of night or over staying your visas and working without a work permit. You enter legally and follow our nations immigration rules. U.S. citizenship is not earned by paying a measly fine, learning English and going to the back of an imaginary line that don’t exist or no one gives a damn about. Lindsey Graham and other Republicans are so desperate for Hispanic votes and would do anything to get them. Sorry but they are already taken.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”

US Business, Labor Agree on Immigration Deal
March 31, 2013 > U.S. officials say big business and labor have reached an agreement on a low-skilled guest-worker program, creating a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants.

Under the agreement, a new "W visa" program would go into effect April 1, 2015. After a year, W visa holders would be able to seek permanent status and they would be able to change jobs. In the first year of the program, 20,000 visas would be issued, eventually expanding to a maximum of 200,000 visas that could be granted each year. The number of visas would fluctuate depending on unemployment rates, job openings, employer demand and data collected by a new federal agency that will monitor the market - the Bureau of Immigration and Labor Market Research.

White House officials said Saturday President Barack Obama is encouraged by the progress of the talks in the Senate as Congress works to come up with a comprehensive bipartisan immigration bill. Immigration reform is a priority in the president's second and final term in office, which ends in January of 2017. The labor and business agreement was reached late Friday in a conference telephone call with the president of the AFL-CIO labor organization, Richard Trumka; the head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Tom Donohue; and New York Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer, who acted as the mediator.

The labor organization and Chamber of Commerce have long held major disagreements over guest-worker programs. The dispute covered how high of wages should be allowed for workers, and in which industries. The agreement settles the issue in various industries, including hotel, restaurant, janitorial, retail and construction, among others. Senator Schumer is one of eight Senators - four Democrats and four Republicans - who must still sign off on the deal. They all are expected to sign the pact, clearing the way for the new immigration bill to be presented to the Senate in the next few weeks. The House of Representatives is working on a similar bill.

11.9 million people who entered the country illegally or legally under visitors visas and forgot to go home and we forgot to send them home and all they have to do to earn legal status and a path to citizenship is to pay a fine, learn English, pay back taxes and go to the end of the line for citizenship and it sends the message to those following the law by waiting to enter legally is to do the same thing and in 25 years we will have 11.9 million more and another Comp. Immig. Reform Amnesty.

What we really have and need to fix is a severely broken government that cause this immigration problem before they do something so stupid and costly as another amnesty.
