The avowed purpose of the immigration bill passed by the Senate and pending in the House is to provide a "path to citizenship" for the illegal immigrants in exchange for tough new enforcement measures that would prevent other such incursions in the future.
But
buried deep within the immigration bill are hidden multimillion-dollar slush funds
for left-wing nonprofit groups to provide services to the estimated 11 million
illegal immigrants now in the U.S. Once enacted, the slush funds would total
almost $300 million over three years and grow over time.
Reviewing
the massive legislation, it's obvious that lawyering would be needed. The
1,100-page proposal is a network of legal requirements and protections, waivers
and exceptions, including a new "provisional immigrant" status
(the first phase of legalization for illegals), appeals of adverse rulings,
stays of deportation, applications for work visas, and countless other such
guarantees.
Within
this thicket of new rights are features that would vastly increase the flow of
immigrants to perhaps 30 million or 40 million over the next decade. One is a
set of "chain immigration" clauses, legalizing the spouses and
children of illegals.
