FTA: "This preemption, buried deep in the text of the bill, would kill all the laws recently enacted by long-suffering states and localities in response to the federal government's unwillingness to enforce its own federal laws on immigration. Gone would be the recent highly effective and highly successful enforcement legislation of Arizona and Oklahoma, the local laws and ordinances of towns like Hazleton, PA, Costa Mesa, CA, Herndon and Prince William, Virginia, and over a hundred other localities, and of hundreds more in process of enactment."

I don't know the accuracy of this guy's interpretation of the pending legislation, but it sounds worthy of investigation and discussion.

After Googleing HR5515, it doesnt seem anybody likes this bill. Other than the usual nut jobs that oppose any imigration legislation.

"Although labeled "bipartisan", this bill submitted by Rep. Sam Johnson (R-Tex.) is overwhelmingly Republican in its sponsorship (28 out of 31). It appears to be a counter to Democrat Heath Shuler's SAVE Act legislation, a much better, if not perfect, alternative now blocked by fellow Democrat Speaker Pelosi's pro-illegal obstinacy."

I suggest people start writing letters, making phone calls and sending emails.
