Laura Ingraham hosted Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner.
Sensenbrenner said it's everyone's job to understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration. He stated that giving amnesty to illegals is wrong and that their supporters will say the border is already secure. He sees a repeat of Simpson-Mazzoli. Ingraham cited conservatives going along with the liberals and Sensenbrenner said many GOP have been tarred by this group. Ingraham advised that the GOP move from immigration to improving the economy for the middle class.
Sensenbrenner was the author of the original Patriot Act, but doesn't think Edward Snowden is a traitor. He said the administiration went beyond the limits of the act by including innocent US citizens who weren't supposed to be included unless there was a connection to a terrorist. He said the FISA court acts in secret and one can't appeal as they act in secret. He said that petitions by the Justice Department have been rubber stamped. He claimed that those who favor this aggressive overuse of the Act weren't in on the writing of the Act which wasn't intended to be a massive data mining effort. He would not have known about the extent of the law if it hadn't been for the Snowden revelations. Ingraham sees the abuse of the Patriot Act as a warning to what could happen with immigration.
