Congressmen Peter King (R-NY) and Lamar Smith (R-TX) introduced legislation yesterday to stop amnesty and enforce existing immigration law:
“Ideally, you would have the current law plus the legislation we are proposing today, but what we want to do is stop the Senate amnesty bill in its tracks right now,” said Rep. Peter T. King, New York Republican and ranking member of the Homeland Security Committee. He and fellow Republicans — including Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, ranking member of the Judiciary Committee — introduced a bill enhancing existing security and a resolution calling on Mr. Bush to enforce a dozen laws already on the books.
The President and the proponents of the Senate’s bill have not enforced existing immigration law and proof of that is seen walking the streets of America — 12 to 20 million sets of proof. Yet the Senate wants to give them all amnesty and have us believe they will finally do what they have never done.
