(CNSNews.com) – “The Senate pathway [to citizenship] . . . is going to
make it very difficult to secure the border,” Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.
) said during a “Conversations with Conservatives” panel discussion
Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol.
Insisting that border security remain a separate issue from immigration
reform, McClintock added, “Until the government demonstrates a willingness
to enforce the existing immigration law, I do not believe that it has any
intention of enforcing stricter laws in the future.”
And if the House follows the Senate immigration bill’s pathway towards
amnesty, he bluntly stated, “We’ll never secure the border.”
McClintock also criticized the Senate for giving illegal immigrants the
impression that “if we just get there [the U.S.], we’re going to be
eventually made legal.”
Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) agreed that without border security, the Senate
bill fixes nothing and is “not worth doing.” But he harshly criticized
Rep. Steve King’s (R-Iowa) controversial statements about the potential
legalization of drug mules.
In an interview with Newsmax, King said that “for everyone who's a
valedictorian, there's another 100 out there who weigh 130 pounds — and
they've got calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling 75 pounds
of marijuana across the desert. Those people would be legalized with the
same act."
“Shame on him,” Labrador said. “Shame on the media for only concentrating
on that aspect of it.”
Rep. Steve Pearce (R-N.M.) noted that chain migration, in which family
members are allowed to join legalized immigrants in the U.S., would increase
the total number of immigrants eligible for legalization far beyond the
currently estimated figure of 11 million and place an unprecedented burden
on border communities, including his own district. “A pathway to
citizenship is not the only answer,” he said.
Republican House members are considering an alternative to the DREAM Act
that would provide illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. as children
options toward legalization.
Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va) are
leading this initiative, but are being met with resistance by DREAM Act
activists who do not support any legislation that does not include a way for
illegal adult immigrants to achieve U.S. citizenship.
Rep. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.) criticized the “lack of press coverage over
the last couple days of the reaction from the immigration activists” whom
he said were “willing to throw the DREAMers under the bus because they had
used them, exploited them for so long for their immigration agenda.”
“Where’s the discussion, where’s the analysis in your articles saying oh,
by the way, now we’re finding out what the real agendas are?” Schweikert
challenged reporters. | a***s
