The Senate Appropriations Committee has just attached a rider onto an Iraq Supplemental Funding Bill, which would grant amnesty to 1.35 million illegal agricultural workers, plus their families, for a 5-year period. This, accomplished at the insistence of Diane Feinstein (D-CA).
Under the cover of a bill which serves to fund our brave men and women who are in harm's way in the Middle East, this rider demonstrates the Senate's true nature and the usefulness of the Senate's "Blood For Oil" program in hiding, otherwise, unacceptable legislation in bills which seem patriotic.
By perpetuating the war with their refusal to allow measures which would assist the United States towards energy independence, the Senate has assured the continuation of a war, into perpetuity, for purposes which can only be viewed as self-serving attempts to promote their agendas and their pork-barrel politics which are hidden in bills that have the appearance of patriotic legislation. This is done at the expense of our troops overseas. The Senate has found a way to hide, in plain sight, while placing the blame for THEIR "Blood For Oil" program on George Bush since he carries the title of Commander In Chief.
After all of the strident invectives that have been hurled at Republicans by Democrats when the Republicans controlled the Senate, now that the Democrats have control of the Senate, please explain to me how things have changed.
