Oh Kelly?? About your NEXT upcoming Immigration vote – Part 3

Now that Grokster Susan has outlined that you have voted to limit debate on “new and devolved” Schumer Open-Border Immigration bill, it may be too late to note that this is turning into yet another “We have to pass the bill to see what is in it”.  With almost a total rewrite of the original bill with the Corker / Hoeven Amendment of 1200 pages, you only had about 72 hours to read the bill AND UNDERSTAND all of the ramifications (again, is this REALLY how a Representative Republic is supposed to work – by voting for bills nobody understand?  Obamacare redeux!).  A bill that was more convoluted, referencing pages within itself and to existing law and deleting other law, than most code I get to at.  I don’t wonder why that code doesn’t work, and with the worse spaghetti orientation in this bill (so I’ve been told) I will not be surprised in what is in it – or the harm this will cause.

For instance and just like in Obamacare, you and your other Senatorial chuckleheads have delegated much of your “higher level” authority and oversight to the Executive Branch (even as the bill micromanages things that SHOULD be delegated to the Executive Branch).  So, Kelly, did you know that you voted, not for Obamaphones, but for Obamacars??

That’s right – the ability for the Executive Branch to use some of the slush funds you just voted for to purchase “transportation” for our newly “legalized residents” (as that’s what “Provisional” means – instant legality for formerly illegal aliens at the press of your button press and Obama’s signature); from Big Government:

Breitbart News has learned there is a provision included in the immigration bill that could be used to give free cars, motorcycles, scooters or other vehicles to young people around the country over a period of 15 months after the bill passes.  The new provision is a result of the latest addition to the Corker-Hoeven amendment, which is essentially an entirely new version of the bill.

…“The original Gang bill ended with a section designated Title IV, which was headlined REFORMS TO NON-IMMIGRANT VISA PROGRAMS,” York wrote on Sunday. “The Hoeven-Corker version of the bill added a Title V, with the headline JOBS FOR YOUTH. The measure would provide $1.5 billion in the next two years to provide jobs for Americans between the ages of 16 and 24

A provision under that new stimulus program title allows for the use of spending the taxpayer money on the program to provide transportation for youth to and from their jobs.

“(f) USE OF FUNDS.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—The funds made available under this section shall be used—
(A) to provide summer employment opportunities for low-income youth, with direct linkages to academic and occupational learning, and may be used to provide supportive services, such as transportation or child care, that is necessary to enable the participation of such youth in the opportunities;”

…A GOP senate aide told Breitbart News that for the country to be able to spend $1.5 billion on such a program so fast, it would need to buy, lease or rent motor vehicles  for beneficiaries of the new government handout. The provision that outlines how the money can be legally used for providing “supportive services” like “transportation,” the aide said, could easily be interpreted to mean the money could be spent buying or leasing or renting vehicles for the beneficiaries.

This appears to give states authority to buy, lease or rent motorcycles, cars and scooters or anything kids want to buy to get to and from a job,” the GOP aide said.

And with a Secretary of Labor totally simpatico with Obama on wealth redistribution (openly socialist Hilda Solis who just resigned or like minded Tom Perez), I can certainly see the Executive Branch doing exactly that.

You know, I have two cars – one is eight years old and the other ten.  Kelly, WHY should someone that was changed from being an illegal alien to a legal “provisional” resident end up with a car nicer and newer than me? Or any other legal citizen?

Let me leave these bon mots from The Corner:

To help ensure our hospitality and agricultural sectors are able to fill jobs that Americans won’t perform, the bill creates a new guest worker visa program.

Because, of course, paying Americans more to do these jobs would be unacceptable.

News. 16 September 2010. “‘We don’t need to add, necessarily, more laws,” she said. “Let’s look at enforcing what we have on the immigration context and then measure where we are.’ Ayotte would push for illegal immigrants already living in the U.S. to be immediately deported and does not support any form of amnesty, she said.” (www.ayotteforsenate.com)
  • Schoenberg, Shira. 2010. Concord Monitor: Ayotte in Line with GOP Policy. 16 August 2010. “Ayotte said she would first address illegal immigration by securing the country’s borders, enforcing existing immigration laws and making English the official language of the U.S.” (www.concordmonitor.com)
