Under the new Gang of 8 immigration bill, which must die in the House, Illegal immigrants would be punished less than American citizens for committing the same crime.

This is unbelievable!

• For misdemeanor offenses, like driving under the influence, assault, battery, and crimes of domestic violence, US Citizens face up to 1 year in jail for each offense, while illegal immigrants who commit the same crime would be eligible for the crime to be waived.
• For using a false Social Security Number, US Citizens face a felony and up to 5 years in jail, while the same crime committed by illegal immigrants would be eligible to be waived.
• For Willfull failure to pay taxes, an American citizen would face 1 year in prison and $25,000 file, while illegal immigrants who don’t pay their taxes would have their crime waived.

And there is much-much more!

According to Sen. John McCain, a member of the Senate’s Gang of Eight, criminals will not be legalized under the proposed bipartisan immigration bill.

“Anyone who has committed crimes in this country is going to be deported,” the Arizona Republican declared on the Senate floor last week.

However, as Washington Examiner columnist Byron York recently reported, “the bottom line is an immigrant could have more than three misdemeanor convictions in his background check and still qualify for legalization.”

Furthermore, the following chart published June 21 by the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a nonprofit organization that opposes liberalization of immigration law, compares the consequences for an array of crimes and discovered that while illegal immigrants might be exonerated and legalized, U.S. citizens and legal immigrants face years of incarceration or temporary expulsion from the country.

The Gang of Eight’s bill would allow illegal immigrants who entered the country before Dec. 31, 2011, and committed up to three misdemeanor offenses including but not limited to assault, battery, identity or document fraud, tax evasion, to remain eligible for Registered Provisional Status. Meanwhile, U.S. citizens and persons who entered the country legally could incur up to $100,000 in fines,15 years of imprisonment, or be prohibited to reenter the country for up to 10 years.

“What it [the Gang of Eight bill] indicates is this is more than just an amnesty, it’s an amnesty for all kinds of violations,” said FAIR’s media director, Ira Mehlman. “We say nobody is above the law, but apparently illegal immigrants are.”
