House Republicans go after wrong group

You want to stop illegal aliens from coming to the U.S.? Make it a $100,000 fine and 1 year in jail for the employer of each illegal alien they hire and we will see the problem go away in six months. But, that will never happen because the Chamber of Commerce folks have the Republican Party in their back pockets so it's much easier to go after Catholic and private social services. Oh sure, the bill mentions 'stiffening the penalties for employers' but we all know how that will work. Add to that 'House border-security bill' provisions that state 'One year in jail plus $100,000 fine for every illegal alien hired' and we will see how fast those Republican phony-bastards pull that bill.

Bill on Illegal-Immigrant Aid Draws Fire "Churches, social service agencies and immigration groups across the country are rallying against a provision in the recently passed House border-security bill that would make it a federal crime to offer services or assistance to illegal immigrants. The measure would broaden the nation's immigrant-smuggling law so that people who assist or shield illegal immigrants would be subject to prosecution. Offenders, who might include priests, nurses or social workers, could face up to five years in prison. The proposal would also allow the authorities to seize some assets of those convicted of such a crime. Proponents of the legislation have argued that such provisions would make it harder for illegal immigrants to thrive in the United States by discouraging people from helping them".
