	Jim Sensenbrenner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sensenbrenner was most recently in the news for his introduction of a controversial immigration bill, H.R., in 2006.
		Sensenbrenner defended his actions by claiming that the Democrats and witnesses had repeatedly violated House Rules in discussing issues he believed to be unrelated to the subject of the meeting.
		Sensenbrenner was the main sponsor of H.R., a bill passed by the House in 2005 that would provide additional criminal penalties for aiding and abetting illegal immigration.

		Sensenbrenner held an important role in the Impeachment of Bill Clinton, acting as one of the House managers.

		Of course Sensenbrenner was one to vote on the recent minimum wage bill that gave low-wage earners an increase on the one hand, but simultaneously took it back from them with a poison-pill amendment to shift taxes from the wealthy to the low income workers via estate tax repeal.
		Sensenbrenner just likes things as they are, where he enjoys a better than 90% chance of being re-elected, and the Republican party (which is heavily influenced by money) stands a better chance of remaining in power and he stands a better chance of retaining his chairmanship of the judicial committee.
		Sensenbrenner owns over $250 million stock in the banking and health care industries, which is likely to give him a vested interest in the outcome of the bankruptcy law he authored.

		Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., who currently represents the state’s 5th District in Congress, declined the invitation to participate in the community forum at La Casa de Esperanza in Waukesha, instead serving as the keynote speaker for the grand opening of the Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Riverwalk in Delafield.

		Sensenbrenner called it “too much too soon and too expensive.” He said we must seal the border and turn off the magnet that draws the Mexicans to the United States then worry about the illegals who are already here.
		Sensenbrenner was very measured in his delivery, almost as if sitting on his hands to remain calm and deliberate.
		Sensenbrenner said the President and the Senate do not understand that Simpson-Mazolli failed and that this Senate bill “is a repeat of Simpson-Mazolli.” He added that “the convoluted thing that Senator Hagel says is not amnesty really is amnesty.” He quoted Ed Meese as saying at least Ronald Reagan was honest in calling it amnesty.

		Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Wisconsin, the House Judiciary chairman who wants the bill changed to stop states from issuing driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, and Sen.

		When the president called Jim Sensenbrenner, it was my impression that he was going to ask him to hold that until next year.

		Sensenbrenner said the White House has irritated him and others by seemingly "running away" from the immigration bill that the House passed in December.
		Sensenbrenner said he thinks a compromise could include provisions for temporary workers, if "that does not include an amnesty," and only if it includes "vigorous" enforcement of sanctions against employers for hiring illegal immigrants.
		Sensenbrenner also was cool to the idea of a postelection House-Senate deal on immigration, by which time the political pressures complicating the issue might be less acute.

		Although Sensenbrenner, who helped craft the law, will be able to declare victory, he's not exactly playing the role of a gracious winner.
		Sensenbrenner is furious with Feingold for delaying renewal of the law for several months, as the Democratic senator held out for additional safeguards in the law.
		But Sensenbrenner insists that once the House approves the renewal and sends it to President Bush, his chamber will be done with the issue for the year.

	MTP Transcript for May 28 - Meet the Press, online at MSNBC - MSNBC.com
		SENSENBRENNER: No. Amnesty is wrong, and even Mexican government officials have said that the talk of amnesty is actually increasing the flow of illegal immigrants across the border as we speak.
		SENSENBRENNER: I’m not saying that the illegal immigrants will be sent home, and I think that the end sum game, which I hope Senator Hagel agrees with, is to turn the illegal immigrant work force into a legal work force, whether they’re legal immigrants or whether they’re United States citizens.
		And, as Jim Sensenbrenner said, the failure of the 1986 act was because we didn’t deal with that, as well as we didn’t deal with other things.

		Chairman Sensenbrenner would have been aware of the above, yet deemed it beneficial to meet with a known terrorist banker in 2004 despite clear evidence, congressional testimony and court cases delineating Kamel’s multiple links—some provided earlier by one of the Chairman's own colleagues in GOP congressional leadership.
		Sensenbrenner has not publicly testified regarding the link to Kamel who in turn has ties to Al Shamal Bank, Abramoff and Greenberg Traurig—and whether contributions from Kamel may have allegedly been laundered through Abramoff, evidence of which may still be available for subpoena by federal officials.
		Sensenbrenner came under fire from his House Judiciary Committee ranking Democrat John Conyers (D-14-MI) in a letter to U.S. Inspector General Glenn A. Fine, available at Conyers’ website, a copy of which was also sent to the House Judiciary Chairman.
