Get a load of this from John Effin Kerry

Hey, this only took over 6 months to get a response from one of my illustrious senators.  Get a load of this answer on the illegal immigration issue.  Pay particular attention to his pandering at the end on what he wants to make ICE do before raiding workplaces that hire illegals.  I've highlighted it.  I also highlighted a key phrase he stole from my other dirtbag senator.  Let me just say my FBI file probably just grew another inch thick with what I sent back to him in response!!

Thank you for contacting me regarding
your views on our nation's immigration policy
and the recent debate that has surrounded the
issue of immigration reform. I appreciate
hearing from you.
There are many facets of our current
immigration system that are flawed and in
need of reform. It is estimated that there
are over 12 million undocumented workers in
the United States. We must provide law
enforcement the technology and personnel they
need to protect our borders. Securing our
borders is a critical piece to solving the
problem of illegal immigration in this
country, and must be part of any
comprehensive reform. We also need a system
that will offer undocumented immigrants who
work hard, pay taxes, and play by the rules
with a path towards citizenship.
Immigrants make up a significant part of
the American workforce. Legal immigrants
provide much needed skills and expertise to
American businesses and we must clear the
visa backlogs so these people can continue to
contribute to our communities. H-1B visas
allow temporary foreign workers to enter and
work in the United States. These workers
typically fill positions in the business and
technology communities, utilizing their
specialized expertise. We must work to find
ways to retain our current system and the
benefits it brings to our country while
minimizing any negative effect on American
workers and ensuring that we invest in home
grown talent.
The recent bipartisan immigration reform
bill was not perfect but it was a step in the
right direction to address many of these
concerns. I was disappointed that this
legislation did not receive the votes
necessary to address our dysfunctional system
however I remain confident that Congress can
answer these challenges in the coming months.
It is clear that this is an issue that will
not go away and impacts millions of people
everyday.
Massachusetts recently saw the real life
impact that this broken immigration system
can have. After an immigration raid in New
Bedford left families divided and children
without parents many were outraged. I filed
an amendment to the immigration bill that
would provide protections to immigrant
families and children who are caught in
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
workplace raids. In particular, the
amendment would require ICE to accommodate
immigrants that are parents, minors, have
medical conditions or any other humanitarian
issue that state social workers identify. It
also requires the use of translators, access
to legal services and using detention
facilities close to home. This legislation
is critical in preventing another
humanitarian crisis and safeguarding rights
for immigrants. I will continue to fight for
this legislation to prevent another New
Bedford like raid.
Thank you again for taking the time to
share your thoughts on immigration with me.
Please do not hesitate to contact me on this
or any other issue of concern to you.          


Sincerely,

John F. Kerry
United States Senator

I don't think he has any son's....just two daughters I believe.  Mama Teresa has 3 sons though.  Think they look up to John Effin as a role model?

Yup.....I didn't realize he was elected to represent illegals, but live and learn I guess.
