Senate Amnesty Bill

The Senate's so-called "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" is a horrible piece of legislation. It is an amnesty bill, dressed up with complicated and confusing schemes of enforcement, fines, hiring, verification, and so on. The bottom line, however, is that all illegal immigrants claiming to be here on January 1, 2007, will get legalization after a mere 24 hours for a background investigation. Investigate Senate Bill 1348 for yourself:
Senate Bill S.1348

Some positive nuggests of the immigration bill should be passed without the amnesty provision.

S.AMDT.1165 (page S6489) - New Oath of Citizenship
"I take this oath solemnly, freely, and without any mental reservation. I absolutely and entirely renounce all allegiance to any foreign state or power of which I have been a subject or citizen. My fidelity and allegiance from this day forward are to the United States of America. I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution and laws of the United States, and will support and defend them against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I will bear arms, or perform noncombatant military or civilian service, on behalf of the United States when required by law. This I do solemnly swear, so help me God."

Upon the naturalization of a new citizen, the Secretary, in cooperation with the Secretary of State, shall notify the embassy of the country of which the new citizen was a citizen or subject that such citizen has renounced allegiance to that foreign country.

S.AMDT.1169 (page S6564) - Voters must show photo ID before voting.

Section 769 excludes illegal aliens from congressional apportionment tabulations. To do this, the Census will have to ask about immigration status, and California may lose representatives. (The drawing of state and congressional districts also must exclude illegal aliens. Otherwise, vote dillution will occur!)

These three pieces of the legislation should already be the law!
