Ed Meese offers "An Amnesty by Any Other Name".
See also "Terrorist Loophole: Senate Bill Disarms Law Enforcement", "Immigration Reform or Central Planning?", and "Senate Immigration Bill Would Allow 100 Million New Legal Immigrants over the Next Twenty Years" (that estimate has since been reduced to 53 to 60 million due to various amendments.)
And, from Human Events:
No conservative could vote for the immigration bill expected to come up in the U.S. Senate today. It is the worst bill ever considered by the Republican majority Congress... First, this bill may cause the Balkanization of America... Secondly, this bill will impose onerous social costs on American communities... ...The bill also insults the intelligence of Americans. Its supporters insist it is not an amnesty. It obviously is: It allows people who have entered our country illegally to stay here and be rewarded with U.S. citizenship... ...And, finally, the bill is loaded with bad surprises. Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, a true conservative, found multiple outrages buried in its fine print, which he laid out in a must-read speech delivered on the Senate floor...

"multiple outrages"
An understatement, to say the least. Yet a big majority of scumbag senators will no doubt vote for it. Such is the brain melting power of feel-good racially sensitive political correctness.

"Such is the brain melting power of feel-good racially sensitive political correctness."
Make that "feel-good racially sensitive political correctness" that DOESN'T cost the feeler a thing. Make the feeler really feel the results and the dynamic changes.
Imagine, if you will, that affirmative action (AA) had actually affected the upper crust. If the slots that were given to AA recipients had been taken DIRECTLY from the titled and talented - not to mention well-off - instead of the talented from lower middle & working class, guess how long AA would have lasted. If Chelsea Clinton would had been denied a slot at Yale, do you really think that Bill & Hill would have supported AA? Not too likely.
