Sen. Dianne Feinstein touts her own amnesty scheme - 05/22/06

From this: California's senior senator called for an amendment to the immigration bill now moving through the Senate that would allow undocumented workers the chance to earn a green card after a years-long wait. Speaking on television Sunday, Dianne Feinstein called her "earned legalization program" a comprehensive, realistic program to clean up problems with visa programs and increase border security. The Hegel-Martinez bill now before the Senate is not workable, Feinstein said, because it would require 4.8 million of the foreign workers in the country to return home before applying for...

Sen. Dianne Feinstein: U.S. can no longer afford to be the "welfare system" for Mexico's poor - 04/10/06

From a UPI article: ...Sen. Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., also is warning about the danger of too many illegal immigrants. She said the United States can no longer afford to be the ''welfare system'' for Mexico's poor... Unfortunately, the UPI article is from August 26, 1993.

Will Bill Frist monkeywrench Arlen Specter's disastrous amnesty scheme? - 03/16/06

Bill Frist might introduce an "enforcement-only" bill in the Senate, which might then overshadow Arlen Specter's - dare I say it - un-American massive amnesty scheme: Judiciary members on both sides, however, cautioned Mr. Frist not to bypass them. "The majority leader is wrong," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat. "It's impossible to build a political consensus in that time. We need time. We need time to talk." In a letter to Mr. Frist yesterday, Mrs.

Hillary Clinton supports illegal immigration, amnesty - 03/09/06

The idea of Hillary Clinton running as the more pro-American candidate seems to have been dashed as she's come out in favor of immigration "reform", i.e., a massive amnesty scheme. She sent a four-page letter to her constituents (which includes illegal aliens) that "steered away from specifics" according to the AP.

Feinstein: opposes "guest" worker scheme; supports agriculture industry; wants to finess immigration "reform" - 03/01/06

Now that there's a title! California's taller, slightly not-as-dumb Senator Dianne Feinstein appears to have a bit of a nuanced position on immigration matters. She opposes the "guest" worker schemes she's seen so far: "I haven't seen a guest-worker program that I would vote for yet," she said.

Dianne Feinstein supports taking tuition discounts from Americans - 02/28/06

Buried in this 2/24 article is this: [Senator Dianne Feinstein] said she would co-sponsor a bill that would offer college grants to the undocumented youths who arrived in the United States before age 16 and have been here at least five years. As pointed out before, every discount given to an illegal alien means one less for an American. Therefore, Senator Dianne Feinstein wants to take discounted college educations awa

Documenting the slide into fascism - 02/05/06

OK, so the title's a little strong. Nevertheless, here's more on the Pentagon's domestic spying program. The picture of Donald Rumsfeld touring the KGB museum is a bit much, however: ...Created three years ago by the Defense Department, CIFA's [the U.S. Army's top-secret Counterintelligence Field Activity] role is "force protection"a

Dianne Feinstein: border is "major gateway" for terrorists - 02/04/06

From this: Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., expressed concern Thursday that the southern border has become a "major gateway" for Middle Eastern terrorists in a hearing with National Intelligence Director John Negroponte and other top intelligence officials. Feinstein noted that law enforcement officials captured 155,000 non-Mexican illegal aliens in 2005, more than three times as many as the 49,545 that were apprehended in 2003. Negroponte told Feinstein that the intelligence community was "sensitive to" the issue she raised, but said that the Canadian border posed "a bit greater concern...

Feinstein has her own mass illegal alien amnesty plan - 05/18/05

From the OCR's "Feinstein gives immigration plan ideas": Feinstein, D-Calif., said any new guest worker program, even one that required employees to eventually return to their home country, would be a "magnet for illegal immigration" and something she could not support... OK, I'm with her so far... "There are plenty of workers here who will work legally if given the opportunity to do it," Feinstein said.

Feds paid $2 billion/year to jail criminal aliens - 05/10/05

WND has the details in "Feds pay $5.8 billion to jail criminal aliens": ...the number of criminal aliens in federal prisons increased from about 42,000 at the end of 2001 to about 49,000 at the end of last year... [that's a 16% increase] The direct federal costs during the study's time frame were estimated to be $4.2 billion, with federal reimbursements to state and local governments totalling $1.6 billion through the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, or SCAAP.

"Guest-worker measure awaits a new Congress" - 11/15/04

From the SacBee: ...Bush is signaling renewed attention to immigration. That's heartening advocates of reform, dismaying skeptics and raising questions of both strategy and tactics... With a filibuster-proof 63 senators already co-sponsors, the AgJobs bill could be poised to move. Supporters, many of them organized through the Agriculture Coalition for Immigration Reform, hope for Senate action by spring. Sen.

Miami Herald "endorses indentured servitude" - 03/22/04

That's what the Stein Report says regarding the Miami Herald's editorial supporting the AgJobs bill ('A win-win for growers, farmworkers, America'). That bill would provide an amnesty for half a million illegal aliens. As history shows, amnesties simply lead to more illegal immigration. One amnesty leads to more illegal immigration, which requires another amnesty, which leads to more illegal immigration, repeat. As for the claim that the editorial supports indentured servitude, judge for yourself: ...AgJobs sets up a process by which illegal immigrants already working in agriculture could...

Bush refuses to pay for the trouble he causes - 03/09/04

[As you read the following, recall that in FY2002, just 13 (thirteen) companies were fined for immigration violations. That's drastically down from prior years.] From Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)'s site: A bipartisan group of senators is calling on the Bush Administration to add $850 million in funding to the federal budget to assist states with the cost of incarcerating undocumented criminal offenders. In a letter initiated by U.S.

How you can stop amnesty for illegal aliens - 02/12/04

From "GOP senators, officials back alien proposal": The administration rolled out its top immigration officials and several senior Republican senators yesterday to endorse publicly a guest-worker program offered by President Bush that could give legal status to the 8 million to 12 million illegal aliens now in the United States.

I haven't written to Dianne Feinstein lately, have I? - 04/29/03

Got this via email from Feinstein's office:      April 29, 2003 Mr. The Lonewacko Blog at lonewacko.com/blog Dear Mr. Blog at lonewacko.com/blog:     Thank you so much for contacting me to share your thoughts and concerns. Currently, I receive approximately 30,000 letters and e-mails a week. This is input that I value greatly... I guess some wacky prankster sent the good Senator a letter on my behalf, no doubt because of this post.

"Army Contract Has Ties To Senator Feinstein" - 04/22/03

From this: - A planning and engineering firm co-owned by Senator Dianne Feinstein's husband has won a Pentagon contract that could be worth up to 600 (m) million dollars... Feinstein's husband, Richard Blum, serves on the company's board of directors. He controls about 24 percent of its stock. The new contract is the latest lucrative defense job to be won by the San Francisco-based company.
