Hugh Hewitt Proposed Fixes To The Immigration Bill

[I started this post a couple of days ago but have been hammered with work and am just getting back to it. I think it's still worth going to Hugh Hewitt‘s post and reading his proposal for language changes in the immigration bill.]

Hugh Hewitt has been an intensely vocal critic of the Immigration bill that failed to be brought to the Senate floor last week. The original McCain/Kennedy mishmash of a bill appeared to many as a thinly disguised amnesty without the desperately needed increase in border security. Hewitt addresses border security, the ludicrous 24 waiting period before automatic release of Z-status and what may be most important of all, how to handle those trying to immigrate from countries more likely to have incubated jihadists, or as he calls them — “countries of special interest”.

Where Hugh differs from those making laundry lists of complaints or just urging pressure to scrap the entire bill for now is by providing actual replacement language that addresses his concerns.

Illegal immigration isn’t going away on its own, and the problems of a super-porous southern border must be addressed — our security isn’t, as long as there is such easy entry via our neighbor from the south. 24-hour waiting periods before automatically issuing Z-status visas crosses over into the insane, more like suicidal, acts of societal behavior. But, here I am monologuing about it — Hugh has posited some real answers. Read ‘em!
