Absinthe & Cookies (a bit bitter, a bit sweet)

Grrr! Argh!

This is frickin unbelievable!! I could go off on a full blown rant, but I really don't need the added stress today. Just go read it and remember your "blogging lamaze" exercises!

Senators Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and Larry Craig (R-ID) have vowed to enact an amnesty program for millions of illegal aliens, even if it means holding every other piece of Senate legislation hostage to accomplish it. The two senior legislators have promised to attach their Agricultural Jobs, Opportunity, Benefits and Security Act (AgJobs) to every Senate bill for the remainder of the year. Their first target is the Defense Authorization bill now being debated in the Senate.

The AgJobs bill would allow virtually every illegal alien who has worked in agriculture in the U.S. to gain legal residence for themselves and their families. Based on the language of the legislation, and past experience, millions more people would likely gain legal residence fraudulently. Among those who fraudulently gained amnesty under a similar agricultural worker provision of a 1986 law were two Egyptian terrorists and New York City taxicab drivers—Mahmud and Mohammed Abouhalima—who later participated in the 1993 World Trade Center bombings.

"Of all the concerns of the American people—winning the war against terrorism, affordable health care, improving education, soaring energy costs—Senators Kennedy and Craig have decided that amnesty for millions of immigration law breakers is the nation's top priority," said Dan Stein, executive director of FAIR.
