S.1348 — The 2007 “Death to America!” Act
This piece of legislative treason is the best evidence yet that our Congressional “Leaders” view US as slaves and serfs. This back-room bill declares U.S. citizenship to be irrelevant and virtually detrimental to those holding it. Legal, taxpaying, law abiding U.S. Citizens are the oppressors of those “unfortunate people who just want to work and keep their families together”, and must be made to pay for the transgression of being prosperous.
Putrid bags of excrement who believe that YOU have no right to object to the rape and pillage of your hard earned wealth or your Constitutional rights.
It doesn’t matter what the final bill looks like (or how heavy the stack of paper becomes). When the President signs the stinking mass it will dilute your voice in government and your ability to be self-determining by at least 30%. Don’t believe the talking heads who envision 12-20 million new “legals” — it will be more like 100 million in just a few short years.
The term “legal” will replace the once coveted status of “citizen”. As a “legal” you will be granted all the rights, privileges and entitlements of “citizens”, but without those annoying responsibilities. You don’t need no steenking papers, you just need a real or forged “Z”-visa and voila!
- Free education,
- free primary care for you and your entire extended family at any American hospital’s emergency room,
- free Social Security benefits (yes, “legals” don’t have to work as long as you and I to qualify and they can use fake records to “prove” that they contributed) that can be sent straight to your South-of-the-Border bank account,
- voting rights (you betcha it’s already happening)
- free legal protection (the American Criminal Liberties Union is now accepting applications to become the first “legal” to hit the jackpot in a Sue-the-crap-out-of-”citizens” class action lawsuit).
- Thousands of $$ in cash from the “Welfare by 1040″ program when you file your tax return and claim 55 dependents. You’ll get a ‘refund’ that dwarfs the amount withheld from your minimum wage salary!
The supposed penalties to be levied from Z-Visa applicants will never be imposed. Employers will not be fined or face criminal charges for hiring undocumented people any more than they are now. Everyone here, no matter how they got here, will be considered “legal” by virtue of standing on U.S. soil. There’s no way Congress or the President will cut us any slack in thier relentless punishment of the truly criminal class of “citizens”.
What to do? You can bend over and take it like a European -or- write, call, email, fax your CongressCritters and demand that this “Amnesty” bill be shelved and that the laws already on the books be enforced.
Fellow “citizens”, remember one thing: You have NOT commited any crime! Did you force people from other countries to come here illegally? Did you even invite them to come here? Is it your fault that it sucks to live everywhere else in the world? Well, maybe that is our fault — we’ve worked damned hard to create and maintain the prosperity made possible by our Founding Fathers, but we owe the illegals NOTHING! They should try and fix their own crappy governments rather than destroy ours.
Don’t let the autocrats in Washington throw open our borders and allow the world to treat our “citizens” as criminals who must continuously pay for the crime of being a U.S. Citizen.

A big AMEN to that, GN! I need to take a new name so I can sign up for free health care! I don’t have ins and pay cash when I go to the dr!

Standing O from both myself and Hubby!

Sorry for the double post–I seem to be having issues with using my website on some blogs!

Can somebody help me find the text that is being proposed for “Z visas”? I can’t find it in the full text of the bill. Is it an amendment?
This is of some interest to me, since the “Z visa” seems to grant benefits to the holder (in 24 hours) that aren’t available to me, and won’t be until my green card issues. I’m a legal immigrant who has been resident for 7 1/2 years and paid out who knows what to lawyers in the meantime. It’s kind of galling if this bill provides benefits from which I am excluded because I didn’t break the law…

thanks for the response.
By the way, I found it - it’s in title VI here:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:s.01348:
the reason I couldn’t find it is that it is no longer called a “Z visa”. The provisions are still there, although a little watered down (there’s no longer the requirement that documents be issued within 24 hours, for instance), but there is no name associated with the “visa”. This is actually completely in keeping with current immigration law. They’re talking about granting an I-765 (employment authorization) and I-131 (advance parole - a travel document). They don’t say so, but the choice of words makes it apparent that that’s what is meant.
This is a huge deal for anybody going through the legal route. For all the statements of “illegals have to line up with everybody else”, in practice this does allow them to jump the line. What people are “lining up for” is primarily immigrant status which is merit based and the primary cause of the backlog for approval. You don’t normally become eligible to apply for I-765 and I-131 documents until after you get past that point and are eligible to apply for a green card (everything at that point is a formality, but still takes about a year). This provision may require illegals to “wait in line” for an I-140 (immigrant status) but hands them almost all of the benefits that you’re lining up for while they’re waiting.
Oh, and I went through the language for requirements to be met to obtain this special treatment. I meet every single one except for one - I failed to break the law. Seriously. It’s not just a case of turning a blind eye to prior lawbreaking, you’re actually required to have been in the country illegally to qualify. I find it just extraordinary that a law should actually say that…

The voting rights for illegals is the one the drives me nuts. It’s bad enough that the libs want to give them in-state tuition, but voting rights takes the cake.
But maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. In Maryland the libs want to give convicted felons the vote. Sadly, even “conservates” like Jack Kemp have signed on.
But maybe the worst part is that from what I understand most illegals don’t even really want citizenship. They don’t want to become Americans. What they want is just to come here, stay (or maybe periodically go home), and work. In other words, they want to exist outside of the law. And the libs are helping them do it.

Dude it’s so on. Great job, I’m linking you up.

This is a hot issue if there ever was one. But you point out something that I don’t think anybody on either side of the debate can ignore. No way 12-20 million. It will be more like 50 million plus, and no matter how watered down or poorly enforced this may become, the impact of millions and millions of immigrants will be devastating. No country, even the most prosperous one in history, can absorb that many people without consequences.

Tom,
I don’t think it’s correct about voting rights - I certainly don’t see anything in the text which suggests anything like that. In order to vote, you still need to be a citizen. If that changes, I’d certainly like to know about it…
By the way, the process in the bill doesn’t get illegal immigrants to citizenship in any way soon - for non-preferred groups the I-140 procedure is still going to take forever, and that only gets you (eventually) to a green card. Getting to citizenship is still going to take a minimum of six or seven years, even with this shortcut, and probably longer.
The thing it now provides for is unrestricted employment authorization and unrestricted travel to and from the US right away, while you’re waiting. You really have to have been through at least some of the process by the legal route to understand what a big deal that is.

Pitiful.
Our public servants aren’t our servants, are they?

MW, as a lifelong, loyal Republican and Conservative, I totally concur with your well made points here. In fact, I am collecting a list of others who feel similarly for an update to my post. Linking to your excellent story here just became an essential component. Many thanks.

Jeesh, my apologies… I read MW’s comment and used his initials instead of yours, GN. A classic example of rage diminished eyesight!

Hi, I really don’t agree that I’m being raped or pillaged. I feel very fortunate to have been born in a country that values all men as equals. Including our brothers from south of the border. In California they pay the same sales tax that I do. If they can possibly earn enough money, they pay income tax. They work for almost slave wages, and yet, they will do it because the place of their birth allows them no future. Where do you think Jesus would stand on this issue?
