Title: Schumer Promises Sweeping Immigration Law

New York Sen. Chuck Schumer is predicting that sweeping immigration reform will become law before the year is over.

Schumer, a Democrat and chairman of the Senate's immigration subcommittee, spoke at the New York Daily News/Citizenship Now! headquarters. He said he expected Senate hearings to lead to a major change in U.S. policy, the Daily News reported.

"I believe that this year, we can pass comprehensive, strong, fair immigration reform," Schumer said.

Schumer's comments came on the heels of President Barack Obama saying America can't continue with a "broken" immigration system.

Obama has stated that he supports comprehensive immigration reform that includes an eventual path to citizenship for millions of foreigners illegally in the United States. During his presidential campaign, he promised to make the issue a "top priority" during his first year in office.

Last week, Obama said immigration reform is necessary because the current system is "not good for American workers. It's dangerous for Mexican would-be workers who are trying to cross a dangerous border. It is putting a strain on border communities … And it keeps those undocumented workers in the shadows, which means they can be exploited at the same time as they're depressing U.S. wages."

Obama said his administration would first work to secure America's borders before trying to reform U.S. immigration policy.

"If the American people don't feel like you can secure the borders, then it's hard to strike a deal that would get people out of the shadows and on a pathway to citizenship who are already here, because the attitude of the average American is going to be, well, you're just going to have hundreds of thousands of more coming in each year," he said.

"On the other hand, showing that there is a more thoughtful approach than just raids of a handful of workers as opposed to, for example, taking seriously the violation of companies that sometimes are actively recruiting these workers to come in. That's again something we can start doing administratively."

"I believe that this year, we can pass comprehensive, strong, fair immigration reform," Schumer said.

The question is "Fair to whom?" With Schmucky Schumer and Obama pushing it, you can be sure it won't be "fair" to Americans.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. They are doing everything they can to destroy America and this is just one more step toward the final destruction.

Yeah we heard the words which mean absolutely nothing. Your agenda is amnesty, yet you call it "reform." Feck off whore.

Those who keep up the mantra "It will never pass" everytime the StateInc tries to put a new link in the chain are either paid disinformation specialists or just plain sheople. The History of our incremental bondage proves otherwise.

I learned my lesson after 8 years of the Clintons and their stooges twisting the English language.

It could mean that the border will be 'secured' in such a manner that the free flow of people is facilitated:

It can also mean a one-way border. Anyone comes in but nobody (us) can go out without permission. I've long held that someday our border fence barbed wire will be turned inward. I see a near future when we'll all be Von Trapps risking our lives to get out of this place in search of liberty.

Man, look out!

These folks have to act fast 1) before the people catch on to them, 2) before the economy really hits the skids.

Schumer & company are going to slip a bill through at midnight that no congressman has even read.

Vigilance.

One should never use the word "never" when talking about nefarious plans and activities of those who would control us or ruin our country.

The last time they tried to pass this, there was such an uproar the policians backed right down. People were calling Nancy Polosi's house and telling her they'd kill her and her family.

It's all talk; it'll never pass.

One has nothing to do with the other.

Apparently you don't live in the U.S., or else don't remember a few years ago when wetbaacks martched in the street waving Mexican flags. The citizens rose up against policians, and they backed right down, being cowards.

This is not going to pass. Those days are over.
