Joe Wilson, authored bill so Illegal Immigrant could become legal..
Joe Wilson, the latest demagogue of the right, and the brilliant statesman (according to Anne Coulter) authored a bill to allow an immigrant to become legal.. this one because he was a christian, it is truly a funny world...
Selective rage, or a tad Orwellian, "All immigrants are created equal, but some are more equal than others."
In July, Wilson introduced legislation that sought to gain permanent resident status for an illegal immigrant named Sainey H. Fatty. You can see the text of the bill here.
George Finnan, a veteran immigration lawyer, told TPMmuckraker that the measure is what immigration lawyers refer to as a "private bill" -- that is, an effort to win legal residence for one particular immigrant. "It's done, but it's not done often," said Finnan. "If I were a congressman, it would be a nice way to make a constituent happy."
) In General- Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b) of section 201 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, Sainey H. Fatty shall be eligible for issuance of an immigrant visa or for adjustment of status to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence upon filing an application for issuance of an immigrant visa under section 204 of such Act or for adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident.

Re: Joe Wilson, authored bill so Illegal Immigrant could become legal..
You do know that know that the government of Gambia, which btw is 90% Sunni, puts Christians in prison just for being Christians. I wonder what treatment Sainey Fatty would recieve being a converted Muslim who turned his back on the Koran.

Once again the end justifies the means.. sigh!!! How many Gambians are awaiting deportation or have been deported??, this is just another self serving bill, it is what it is, there is no difference.

It's bad for a government to imprison someoned for their faith. Gambia, run by a military dictatorship, is one of the world's worsh *****holes -period. No one should be expected to return there. There should be a complete amnesty for anyone lucky enough to escape there. Average age is just under 19. Life expectancy is 55. Risk of contracting a major disease is "very high".
There are unjust "prisons" and circumstances all over the world. Many of these conditions are worse than staying alive. What's Ole Joe's policy for them? Why does this guy deserve a waiver on the process over anyone else?
Brazilian kids picking garbage
Burmese "detention camp"
Child prostitute in India
Soldier in the DRC
The difference here is that Sainey Fatty is a Christian and his cause is being taken up solely for that reason. Fatty has served on staff with HIS International (based in Columbia, SC) since 2003.
HIS, a non-denominational Christian organization whose purpose is to serve international students and their families. Together they become a community--with strong bonds of friendship and concern that continue long after the students leave the campus.
How are HIS staff members and volunteers involved with international scholars & students? They assist with their practical needs in adjusting to American culture:
Getting a Drivers License
Locating Housing
Shopping for Food and Clothes
Learning English
Finding Necessary Medical Care
Also, students have the option of joining in a variety of HIS-sponsored activities such as:
Free Lunches on Wednesdays & Thursdays
English Classes
Bible Studies Discussion Groups
Retreats
Travel Opportunities
Shopping Trips

From time to time cases come up due to individual circumstances that require compassion rather than rule of law.
Probably not, but do not get on a podium and pontificate pious platitudes about illegal immigration, and call people liars in public.. review the standards for political asylum.. and if they need revising, revise them.
It is a tough line to draw, are emigrating Cubans entitled to compassion?? If you follow the rhetoric here they certainly are, as Castro is a very bad man.
The decision to file this bill seems to have been solely made on Fatty's christian beliefs.. if a non christian was in the same situation, would have been interesting to see the response of Joe...
