DeMint Statement on Immigration Deal

May 17th, 2007 - Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator DeMint made the following statement:

“I hope we don't take a thousand page bill written in secret and try to ram it through the Senate in a few days. This is a very important issue for America and we need time to debate it.”

“But the little we do know about the bill is troubling. According to reports, the bill contains a new 'Z Visa' that allows those who entered our country illegally to stay here permanently without ever returning home. This rewards people who broke the law with permanent legal status, and puts them ahead of millions of law-abiding immigrants waiting to come to America. I don't care how you try to spin it, this is amnesty.”

From Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC)'s website:

My advice to any Republican lawmaker with half a conscience is, "Leave the Party at once. The two political parties in America today are now, 1) the America Haters, and 2) the Gutless Shits. If you love your country and your Constitution, do not associate yourselves any longer with either of these disgraceful entities. It's time to start over."

From Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC)'s website:

I am NOt opposed to amnesty. It is too late to do anything else. However, it is a deal breaker to demand $5,000 fine to allow them to stay., this in itself, will "VOID" any possible improvement in the situation.

Strange that Senator Jimmy isn't offering any alternatives. Maybe he needs to consider my solution.
