Washington's Immigration Reform:  A Rebooting Of the Insidious Status Quo

Are we really so dumbed down that we can't figure out what Washington's attempt at immigration reform is really about?

First and foremost it does not address its own trading policies (NAFTA/CAFTA) as exacerbating the very conditions in the undocumenteds home countries that push them here.  Take a peek at the Senate's S. 744: Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act  
https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/s744/text

Do you see one single reference to poverty as the root cause of illegal immigration to the US?   

Now scroll down to Section 6 "Comprehensive Reform Funding" (a)(2)(A) to see the initial $46.3 billion tax payer price tag. For extra corrupt Arizona pork, 200 million for Arizona Prosecutions (S.744 Section 6 (a)(3)(C)(2)(B)(i) referenced in 1104(a)(1) 200 million more for Arizona's and FEMA "Operation Stonegarden" (S.744 Section 6 (a)(3)(C)(2)(B)(ii) referenced in Section 1104(b) 

They expect you to not read the fine print.

Of course not.  If Washington addressed poverty it would demonstrate its own complicity in creating US illegal immigration.

Meanwhile read our US Department of State's glowing report of "our" relations with Mexico:  http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/35749.htm

1.25 billion dollars in NAFTA elite cross border trade per day yet the Mexican undocumented keep coming. 

Read VP Joe Biden's recent speech made to the Mexican economic elite:  http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2013/09/20/remarks-vice-president-joe-biden-us-mexico-high-level-economic-dialogue

Biden talks a lot about the bright future of US/Mexico trade.  He even promises to bring the undocumented "out of the shadows".  Yet not one word about border crossing deaths or the costs and consequences of illegal immigration upon the American public.

Washington's immigration reform simultaneously reboots their "undocumented counter" back to zero by legalizing 11.2 million people while ignoring poverty as their self-created root cause of illegal immigration.
