Immigration Bill Insults Americans’ Intelligence
- Share via
Regarding the McCain/Kennedy immigration amnesty bill (“Joint Bill Would Revamp Immigrant Worker Rules,” May 13), the National Immigration Forum claims that “in contrast to the status quo, it will mean honest admissions policies, tightly enforced.” The NIF shows incredible contempt for the intelligence of the American people if it thinks anyone will believe such nonsense. We are to believe that a bill drafted by the same politicians who have stubbornly blocked enforcement of the existing immigration laws is going to result in “tight enforcement”?
In the article you state, “The chances that the proposal will make it to Bush’s desk for his signature are uncertain.” I would amend that to read: “The legislation doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell.”
