Illegals' tax deal could kill bill

Illegals' tax deal could kill bill

The long-fought Senate immigration bill that opponents say grants amnesty to 10 million illegal aliens is unconstitutional and appears headed for certain demise, Senate Republicans now say.

A key feature of the Senate bill is that it would make illegals pay back taxes before applying for citizenship, a requirement that supporters say will raise billions of dollars in the next decade.

There's just one problem: The U.S. Constitution specifically prohibits revenue-raising legislation from originating in the Senate.
"All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives," according to the "origination clause" in Article I, Section 7.

Republicans -- including the bill's supporters -- say this will kill the bill, and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist says he's offered a simple solution. He wants to attach the immigration bill to a tax bill that has already passed the House. It would then proceed as planned to a "conference committee," where negotiators from the House and Senate hammer out differences between the two chambers' immigration bills.

So its unconstitutional, so what? Sell-out Frist offer a simple solution to getting around that bothersome constitution issue. It's real easy just end run the constitution and attach the sell-out bill to anther bill already in the House and its all good again.

These frigging sell-outs have got a 'B Plan' for everything!

AND THIS FROM MR. IN CHARGE HIMSELF!

Bush shuns Republicans' stand to return illegals
By Stephen DinanTHE WASHINGTON TIMESJune 2, 2006

President Bush yesterday rejected House Republicans' stance that illegal aliens must return home, calling it "wrong and unrealistic" and saying many will have to be allowed to stay.

Speaking to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a block from the White House, Mr. Bush also directly challenged businesses to hire only legal workers, and said those that don't should be prepared to face increased fines. In addition, he said both the House and Senate will have to compromise, but said voters expect a bill and he said that bill should tackle both enforcement and a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens.

"The difficulty of this task is no excuse for avoiding it," he said.

That last line above is a real hoot coming from a man who has made nothing but excuses in regards to his failure to keep his oath to protect this nation from all enemies both foreign and domestic. If illegal invaders in the US aren't enemies I don't know what is!

Damn these sell-outs and their mealy mouth bullshit about whats not fair for damned illegal invaders! How about fair for the people who were born in this nation and will have to pay billions of dollars in taxes just so Bush & Co and his sell-out Congress can buy off the Business Cartel and the Illegal Lobby!
