Kennedy Wins Major Concessions From Republicans
Senate Democrats and Republicans are working feverishly with the White House to put the finishing touches on an immigration proposal that could be announced later today or tomorrow. The deal would give illegal aliens living in the United States amnesty, according to confidential sources. It would also allow illegal aliens to bring their parents, spouses and children into the United States.
Multiple sources on Capitol Hill with knowledge of the proposal said Sen. Teddy Kennedy (D.-Mass.) has been able to extract significant concessions from Republicans. The critical part of the deal is a lengthy section that spells out the provisions related to 60;Z61; visas -- or what my sources described as the 60;Amnesty Title61; of the bill. The 60;Z61; visas would be broken down into three categories as follows:
Z-1 -- Illegal alien present and working in the United States up to January 1, 2007
Z-2 -- Parents and spouses of illegal aliens qualifying under the Z-1 category
Z-3 -- Children of illegal aliens qualifying under the Z-1 category

One section of the proposal grants these 60;Z61; non-immigrants four-year visas for an indefinite period of time. These visas would be given to people not currently in the United States if they are related to a current illegal worker.
Sources indicate that these aliens, along with their dependents, would be allowed to legally remain in the United States under certain conditions for an indefinite period of time, even if they chose not to pursue the so called 60;pathway to citizenship.61;
The burden of proof would be low for illegal aliens to prove that they were continually illegally present in United States. This provision would reward the illegal alien for proving continual illegal presence and illegal employment in the United States with a 60;Z61; visa. This provision in the Kennedy deal, approved by some Republicans, is clearly amnesty under any definition, according to immigration experts whom I consulted.
The proposal would require illegal immigrants to pay a fine to apply for the 60;Z61; visa, but despite that penalty, conservatives are likely characterize this deal as a major sell out to Kennedy and his pro-amnesty allies.
Hal Turner Commentary
My fellow Americans, this is an outright betrayal of America by our elected officials. It is a betrayal which MUST be confronted.
In order to determine the best method for confronting betrayal, I hearken back to what our Founding Fathers told us when they created
The United States. Specifically, Alexander Hamilton , writing in Federalist 28, Paragraph 6, told us:
"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, . . . . . The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair. "
Ladies and Gentlemen we have arrived at the point where I believe we must take up arms.
This betrayal gives-away special rights and a complete pass of all law-breaking to a class of wanton criminals. Criminals who came here, uninvited and against our law. Criminals who, over the past 12 months, have marched through our streets under foreign flags. Criminals who have killed upwards of 25 Americans each and every day through shootings, stabbings, and motor vehicle crashes.
More Americans have died here in America over the past few years, at the hands of illegal aliens, than military members fighting in the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan! Americans are being raped, robbed and beaten by these illegal aliens. Our Government is now moving to side WITH THE ALIENS!! They are actually moving to allow these criminals to bring in their spouses, parents and children!!!!!
When foreginers come to a country against its law and uninvited, then march through its streets under a foreign flag, and wantonly kill the citizens of that nation, there is a term for that: INVASION.
The representatives of our government are siding with invaders. Our representatives are betraying this nation and I think they must be stopped by any means necessary, even if that means doing what would normally be unthinkable.
I advocate implementing the solution to betrayal suggested by Alexander Hamilton in Federalist 28 againist any elected official who votes in favor of such legislation.
The Second Amendment exists for this purpose and I think it is time to use it for its intended purpose.
