Market Watch: The STARS Act Is First installment of Comprehensive Amnesty for Illegal Aliens, Says FAIR

[Patricia M. McBride]

For everyone who is finally aware of how our federal government operates, they have taken another issue that is very much apposed by the majority of Americans and are trying to force feed it to us in small chunks (as they do with many things with the alternate approach being to get local initiatives passed that as a whole give credence to federal action).  So they do have appoaches to pretty much everything that work against the wishes of the American people, and we need to recognize and act on their control over these issues................our representatives are supposed to work for us and not be sneaky and underhanded or tell us what we will get regardless of what we want.  Time to take some sort of action or weigh in on this with your senators (not that writing to Bill Nelson does any good at all...........but I do it anyway ).

WASHINGTON, May 31, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- If passed, the Studying Towards Adjusted Residency Status (STARS) Act, introduced yesterday by Rep. David Rivera (R-Fla.), would be only the first in a series of amnesties for illegal aliens, charges the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). FAIR has consistently maintained that enacting any type of amnesty legislation will encourage rampant illegal immigration and create mounting pressure for additional amnesties.

The STARS Act, the latest version of the DREAM Act, grants amnesty to illegal aliens if they meet certain residency requirements and graduate from college. But just like previous versions of the DREAM Act, the STARS Act is part of the relentless effort to gain amnesty for the entire illegal alien population. Amnesty advocates understand that broad legalization schemes are unpopular with the American public and that their goals will have to be achieved incrementally. And through the passage of the STARS Act, Congress would not only grant amnesty to illegal aliens who meet the requirements of the bill, but would also secure the admission of millions of family members - either living in the U.S. illegally or living outside the U.S. - through chain migration.

"The American people have categorically rejected the notion of granting amnesty to people who violate our immigration laws. Americans know that doing so is both unfair and irresponsible," said Dan Stein, president of FAIR.
