Last week the House of Representative passed HR 418 - Another VERY BAD bill. I was proud of my Representative Bob Filner and his vocal opposition to the bill. It's a strange day when the very liberal Bob Filner joins ranks with the very conservative Ron Paul... but this bill, under the guise of protecting us from terrorist and illegal aliens...moves us closer and closer to totalitarianism and fascism. It seems to establish a national ID, encourage ruthless illegal, immoral acts by bounty hunters, close the door on assylum seekers and give an unconstitutional power to the Secretary of Homeland Security to waive laws with no fear of Judicial review.

So what happened to the THREE branches of Government?

Here's just one section of this bill:
SEC. 102. WAIVER OF LAWS NECESSARY FOR IMPROVEMENT OF BARRIERS AT BORDERS.
Section 102(c) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1103 note) is amended to read as follows:
`(c) Waiver-
`(1) IN GENERAL- Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall have the authority to waive, and shall waive, all laws such Secretary, in such Secretary's sole discretion, determines necessary to ensure expeditious construction of the barriers and roads under this section.
`(2) NO JUDICIAL REVIEW- Notwithstanding any other provision of law (statutory or nonstatutory), no court shall have jurisdiction--
`(A) to hear any cause or claim arising from any action undertaken, or any decision made, by the Secretary of Homeland Security pursuant to paragraph (1)
; or
`(B) to order compensatory, declaratory, injunctive, equitable, or any other relief for damage alleged to arise from any such action or decision.'.
