Immigration in Washington

Friday, 26 May 2006, 6:27

Of course the big talk around Congress are the two bills to “fix” illegal immigration.  My Republican Senator Jeff Sessions voted against the Senate Bill.  From his official website, he explains:

“The American people were counting on us to secure our borders and restore the rule of law to our immigration system,” Sessions said. “Unfortunately, the United States Senate today let the American people down by passing a deeply flawed bill that gives the illegal alien population every benefit this nation can bestow, and increases future legal immigration levels by three to five times the current level. Additionally, the immigration levels for the future ensure that 70 percent of the large influx will be admitted without having to meet any educational, skill or language requirements.”

Bravo!

You can go here and find out how your state Senator voted on the bill. 

I plan on e-mailing Mr. Sessions today and thanking him for his efforts.

    Senator Sessions continues to prove himself a voice of calm reason. He is a fine public servant. I am happy to note my two Texas senators also voted against this thing.
