Stop throwing confetti over defeating the immigration reform bill, says FSM Contributing Editor Michael Cutler, because members of Congress have changed tactics and are now attempting a “strip-the-car” approach to legalizing aliens. What does this curious analogy mean?

An article in the July 26 edition of the Washington Times reports on the new strategy of force-feeding immigration rewards for illegal aliens in a piecemeal fashion rather than in a one-shot “comprehensive” bill that includes them all. This piecemeal approach to an immigration giveaway program reminds me of a car thief who realizes that he cannot simply break into a homeowner’s garage and steal his vintage sports car outright, so he resorts to stripping the car and over time makes off with most, if not all, of the prized vehicle. All he has to do after the piecemeal theft is to reassemble it in his own garage!
The level of chutzpah being demonstrated by those members of Congress who favor the strip-the-car approach to auto theft must really think that the citizens of our nation are brain dead!Polls indicate that the Congress has an even lower approval rating than the President, who is in a headlong dash to the basement where opinion polls are concerned. I recently read that Congress has a collective approval rating of 14%! That was not a typo; the approval rating for Congress stands at an unfathomable fourteen percent, yet many of these “Fools on the Hill” blithely continue along, refusing to do the work that the American people want them to do! The vast majority of Americans want our borders secured, and they want an immigration system with real integrity.
When the Senate stood poised to pass the utterly insane “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” bill I had dubbed the “Terrorist Assistance and Facilitation Act of 2007,” a significant amount of attention was paid to the largely meaningless question as to whether the bill constituted an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. This debate was largely meaningless because although I certainly believed that the bill did constitute amnesty, the question I ask is, “So what?” It was obvious that aliens who had violated our laws would have been not only rewarded for their legal transgressions, but they would have been allowed to remain in the United States, work and send money back to their respective home countries, too. This was the reason that the majority of these illegal aliens violated our borders and immigration laws in the first place!
