What honest immigration legislation looks like.

The usual legislative fare served up by Congress – and fawned over by George Bush – is an insult to our intelligence and a betrayal of the country.

Ace of Spades has a post showing what immigration "reform" legislation would look like if it were actually intended to reform, i.e., do something that would alter the status quo (bad) in a meaningful way. Check out what Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., and other Senate Republicans have come up with.

Their approach is a giant step in the direction of:

• making it enormously difficult to cross the northern or southern border;
• making life extremely uncomfortable for illegals already across those borders;
• severely punishing seditious citizens who knowingly employ illegals;
• severely punishing seditious citizens who knowingly facilitate voting by illegals;
• severely punishing seditious citizens who knowingly impede enforcement of immigration laws;
• ending anchor baby citizenship;
• mandating permanent second-class status to any illegal in the U.S. (no citizenship, no vote, no job rights); and
• revoking all citizenship based on anchor babies born to an illegal immigrant parent.

As Ace says, there's no chance that this kind of legislation will pass but it amounts to "baby steps" and baby steps are, by definition, the beginning of great things. With these kinds of measures being proposed, instead of our having to fax and call about how we oppose this or that servile pandering to foreigners and the open borders crowd, we can now point to specific legislation and say this is what we want. "Do this" instead of "Don't do that."
