National Review and The Heritage Foundation both oppose the Senate immigration bill for many good reasons. There is no deadline for secure borders, yet millions of illegal immigrants would be given amnesty 6 months after the bill is enacted. This would only encourage more illegal immigration. The Senate immigration bill would double the already record 1 million legal immigrants admitted every year. Most Americans oppose this and instead want to make sure that current immigrants are assimilated. The bill puts foreign workers ahead of the interests of American workers and the economic needs of our country. Mr. Speaker, it is inconceivable that an immigration bill with these huge flaws would be approved. ____________________
