Bill on Illegal-Immigrant Aid Draws Fire
By RACHEL L. SWARNS
Published: December 30, 2005
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 - Churches, social service agencies and
immigration groups across the country are rallying against a provision
in the recently passed House border-security bill that would make it a
federal crime to offer services or assistance to illegal immigrants.
The measure would broaden the nation's immigrant-smuggling law so that
people who assist or shield illegal immigrants would be subject to
prosecution. Offenders, who might include priests, nurses or social
workers, could face up to five years in prison. The proposal would
also allow the authorities to seize some assets of those convicted of
such a crime.

Sounds like a "feel-good" tough-on-crime/immigrants bill. The
Congressmen corksuckers can say they did something about the problem and
the courts will simply find the law illegal. Then FoxNews can make a
big stink about activist courts and pundits will be paid to speak their
mind, and conservative and liberal groups can send money to lobbyists to
stir up the *****. It's simply an object eating itself, an endless cycle
of BS.

I would assume emergency assistance would be fine, just before you
throw them back across the border, but anything that is done to assist
illegals otherwise should be a felony.

Why allow emergency assistance? I like this law and i hope it's
enforced literally. If it gets passed that is and i doubt that. Most
likely this is just more theatre.
