...is actually not a compromise at all. Senator Jim DeMint's office put out a press release today based on a report from the Congressional Research Service stating that a major loophole was found which would allow this money to be used to implement the provisions of the shamnesty bill instead of the promised border security.
"This is just another example of how this bill claims to do one thing but does something else entirely. It’s another example of an empty promise being used to buy votes for amnesty," said Senator DeMint. "The supporters of this bill have been running around trying to convince people that this money will be used to secure the border first, but now we know that’s not the case. If you read the fine print, the bill says this money can also be used for amnesty."
Let me ask you these questions: if this bill is such a good thing for America and the American people, why are these 'deal-makers' resorting to closed-door sessions, process violations, stunted debate, unprecedented procedural tactics, and deception/outright lies to get it passed? And how can there possibly be fair and open debate if, as my previous blog indicates, the documentation being debated hasn't even been released to those debating it yet?
You know the answers.
There's my two cents.
