AMNESTY ALERT! and a weird robbery!

From the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR):

Backroom Negotiations in House May Bring Comprehensive Immigration Reform "Lite" to the Floor! Call Your Representatives NOW!!!!!

Capitol Hill news sources have been buzzing for the past 48 hours about backroom negotiations in the House of Representatives that may bring comprehensive immigration reform "lite" to the floor. Congressional Quarterly reports that Congressman Joe Baca (D-CA), Chairman of the Hispanic Caucus, is leading the fight for legislation that would provide a five-year amnesty visa to illegal aliens currently in the U.S. Baca said the five-year amnesty visas would be available to illegal aliens who can "prove they have a job, pay taxes and pass a criminal background check." (Congressional Quarterly Today, February 13, 2008) The negotiations for the five-year amnesty visas are already taking place at the highest levels of House leadership. They include Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Immigration Subcommittee Chairwoman Zoë Lofgren (D-CA) and are reportedly bipartisan in nature. Speaker Pelosi, however, denies there has been any firm decision to move forward. (Id.) Not surprisingly, jumping on the visa bandwagon are business interests that have been attempting for months to secure an increase in H-2B visas—visas for unskilled workers.

These business interests have made repeated, but failed attempts since the demise of the 2007 Bush-Kennedy amnesty bill to increase the number of H-2B visas so employers could import more cheap foreign labor. Now they are at it again and Congress seems willing to listen, even during a period of economic downturn in the U.S.! Congressman Xavier Becerra (D-CA), assistant to Speaker Pelosi, confirmed that Leadership was attempting to find some "relief" for employers who cannot get enough foreign labor due to the caps set forth by law. (Congress Daily, February 13, 2008) Commenting on these negotiations, the senior manager for immigration policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said, "I think there is some type of deal in the works." (Congressional Quarterly Today, February 13, 2008) . Please call your Representatives NOW and tell them you want them to reject this plan to reward special interests. Insist that instead of working on comprehensive immigration reform "lite" they get to work on serious enforcement legislation. Tell them you oppose all forms of amnesty and oppose allowing big business to import even more cheap foreign workers so they can increase their profits at the expense of U.S. workers and wages!!!

Meanwhile... Back in Arkansas.

Illegal immigrant slave owner John Tyson was apparently robbed sometime last year by some party animals! The story states that 3 people had stolen somewhere between $140,000 and $160,000 in cash from the Tyson home around 12/27. On Jan. 2, John Tyson reported the theft of the cash from his residence. Tyson said he had collected the money over time and had the money in a briefcase he kept in his private living quarters of his home.

My question is why does a guy collect several thousand dollars over a period of time and puts it in a suitcase? Is this how John pays his illegals? Can taxpayers have a party at John's house for having to pay for the benefits of his illegal workers?
