Think back to your days in school. You are scared of the upcoming exam. Then your professor announces that the exam is going to be Multiple Choice. You are instantly relieved. You were scared to death that you might not know anything but now there is hope because you now have a guesser’s chance and you might actually get credit for knowing something, even though you don’t.
If you read this blog posting as my taking sides on this issue, you read me wrong. I’m just pointing out that “they” promise anything before the vote and then they do not do anything about what they promise after they get our votes.
I am probably being too cynical...Or am I?
In 1986 & 2006 & 2013 there was/is much consternation in the Halls of Congress about Immigration Reform. In each of these years an Immigration Bill was passed (only through the Senate so far in 2013).
Golly gee, they look very similar...
These are words written about the 1986 & the 2006 & the 2013 Immigration Reform Bills. Do you know which was which? Relax. It is Multiple Choice. You may guess right...
The amendment approved aims to construct a border fence and install high-tech surveillance and other equipment to detect illegal border crossings.
or
The Act aims for operational control over U.S. international land and maritime borders by improving surveillance through personnel and technology as well as physical infrastructure enhancements to prevent unlawful border entry and enable U.S. Customs to control border access.
or
Solemn promises were made by politicians and reform proponents that the border would be secured.
The Smartfella Modus Operandi is that he dances around and comments on the foolish parts of weighty issues. He does not contend that he is smarter than Members of Congress. He simply thinks he makes more sense than Members of Congress.
If you are one of those of us who is concerned about Border Security you need only look at the results of the first two Immigration Reform Bills to become very uneasy about the promises this most recent Immigration Reform Bill makes.
I don’t claim to be able to forecast the future. I do absolutely contend that, I am able to see the past and this “ability” makes me very uneasy about the future.

Lagniappe... In all of the pontificating about the 2013 bill I have not heard any discussion about what you are about to read below...
