Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, faulted Senate Judiciary Chairman Pat Leahy, D-Vt., for limiting the committee review of the gang of eight’s immigration proposal to just one hearing, scheduled for next week.
“A single hearing scheduled so quickly to discuss legislative language that is not yet even available is completely inadequate for Senators or the American people to get answers to the many questions a bill of this magnitude will inevitably raise,” Lee said in a statement. “We could not possibly have a meaningful hearing with a substantive discussion of what will surely be over 1,000 pages of provisions we haven’t even yet seen.”
Leahy initially told Republicans that he would not allow any hearings on the legislation to take place, but instead rush the bill to the Senate floor within two weeks. Leahy argued that hearings conducted by past Congresses would suffice.

-- Rep. Lamar Smith: Immigration Bill 'Worse Than We Thought,' Legalizes Relatives and Previously Deported | CNS NewsRep. Lamar Smith: Immigration Bill 'Worse Than We Thought,' Legalizes Relatives and Previously Deported
April 17, 2013
-- id.Rep. Smith says the Senate immigration bill shreds current immigration laws:
"And the Senate proposal offers amnesty to far more illegal immigrants than we thought. In addition to most of the 11 million illegal immigrants already in the country, the bill offers to legalize the relatives of illegal immigrants outside the U.S. and even others who have already been deported back home. So current immigration laws are shredded.
You see who your Government works for? Corporations and Bankers.
What you Americans need to do is just shut up.
The dems want millions of lazy illegals to get citizenship cuz they know they will then go on welfare and vote dem the rest of their life.
If the punishment for entering the country illegally does not fit the crime it will not be a punishment. And it will be blanket amnesty with a K-Mart type layaway plan to pay the fine and to pay back taxes or they will claim hardship and be exempt. And nothing in the bill to stop women from entering and dropping an anchor with all the expense of prenatal and delivery, welfare, green card and a path to citizenship and family re-unification.
I did not sign up to sponsor any of them or the bill? Who signed me up?

Are you suggesting the prospect of attempting to MODIFY this proposed legislation?
Come on. Be REASONABLE.
They have already allotted a FULL day of hearing(s) to it.
NOW, all of a sudden, you want them to make changes to it too, before they get to voting on it?
Vexing. That's what your call for modification is. Vexing. If Congress were to heed your words, in fact, some of them would have to actually
work.
Unthinkable! And vexing. And vexatious, too.

No, I say kill the bill.
No, I say kill the bill.
Section 1113 seems to suggest that it's up to Democrats to decide which illegals get to stay in America.
