In April, Louisiana Sen. David Vitter began reading through the Gang of Eight’s amnesty bill, tweeting his concerns as he made his way through the 844-page monster. Fast forward to June: Once again, Vitter is going to actually read the legislation to find out what’s in it. This weekend, he’s scouring all 1,170 pages to find out just how much of the Corker-Hoeven border security sham would make Ted Kennedy smile.
Just got a copy of the Corker #amnesty amendment. 1170 pages. Will start reading and letting you know the problems I find. #Gangof8

Found 8 “emergency spending” items so far to hide true costs. Fast tracking amnesty is not an emergency! I’ll continue to fight. #noamnesty

Pg92: Corker amnesty amdt mandates border agents learn “cultural sensitivity” & “environmental concerns.” Let’s just let them do their job.

Pg 94 creates Task Force w/ experts in “migration, civil & human rights, community relations & quality of life.” No experts in ENFORCEMENT??

Pg121 of Corker amendt says illegal immigrants can keep their confiscated property. Wonder if Federales extend same courtesy to Americans?
