Yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to take up two immigration bills that supposedly address community safety, but in reality are simply the latest attempts to restrict immigration and limit due process for immigrants.

While studies have repeatedly shown that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than native-born Americans, “The Keep Our Communities Safe Act of 2011” attempts to exploit the public’s fear of crime to advance an anti-immigration agenda. The bill would expand the authority of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to subject certain immigrants to indefinite—that is, potentially life-long—detention, even though the Supreme Court has held that such detention raises serious constitutional concerns.

The bill relies on the continued detention of immigrants—many of whom have never committed a crime—as a stand-in for fixing the underlying problems of our broken immigration system. Similarly, the deceptively titled SAFE Act simply eliminates 50,000 visas that currently go to immigrants from many countries in Africa and elsewhere that have less of a tradition of immigrating to the U.S.

Any one who says or believes that illegal don’t bring gross added crime to this country is lying or crazy. the rhetoric that is spoken of is just that, always from Hispanic leeches and dumb American politicians. The American people are sick and tired of taking care of those who don’t belong here they should apply and wait outside this country until invited to enter. this administration and congress will soon know just how sick and tired The American citizens are.that will be the day when a resounding message is sent across the world that enough is enough. this president don’t give a damn about illegals he only cares about winning a second term in the white house and the republicans only want to keep using them to do their dirty work for nothing. All the while the American citizens are being shut out. Citizens are getting smarter they are now realizing that the party labels is just another abuse of our loyalty and means nothing to the politician’s except another opportunity to screw us more,. Every business has let go most Americans and hired Hispanics some are illegal but those who aren’t are robbing the companies, banks blind they are some of the biggest thieves on this planet and will do anything to screw another person including their own. This makes no sense to me I just wonder how much the sovereignty of this country is really worth to this administration and this congress from where I stand it is sold for a promise to vote for the president (blogo) and to keep cutting the grass and washing the asses of the babies of the sperm donor politicians who are for the most part a bunch of sick homo’s. The judiciary should take Obama to the woodshed and kick his ass for not enforcing our immigration laws. This country has turned into a third world junk yard and there is only one way to turn it around and that is to take control of who enters this country and what their intentions are for coming and that they can support themselves and are not on the public dole. We the people should not be forced to allow our tax monies to be given to illegals ever. I hope that Lamar and Good-latte will continue to fight for the citizens of this country and for this countries survival. within the next year this country will look just like Mexico. I think that the politicians who listen to Calderon are nuts and should be charged with treason as well the fact that this congress has allowed this country to be invaded and has the audacity to protect the wrong doings of these illegal criminal’s while destroying American citizens. Obama is pathetic and should be taken care of just like he took care of Osama as he is equally the Devil.
