Anyone wishing to be on/off this low volume immigration list pinglist please send me a FReepmail!
I don't know how this ended up in the bloggers section. It's not supposed to be. Please move it back to the front. Thanks! :o)
Unchecked liberalism can ruin the country and, literally, kill us. I remember the House in my prayers, the Senate is hopeless.
You're right. I really consider anyone voting with liberals on this amnesty, to be liberals themselves!! They sure don't represent conservative ideas.
As bad as the 1965 Act was the 1990 Immigration Act was worse because it combined the family chain laws with a doubling of legal immigration. Kennedy also had a large hand in that one too. Now unless the House stops them they're going to do it all over again only this time it will finally break the United States for good.
I know. Kennedy was the main author of that crappy legislation. The "leaders" are blind and stupid, and they're passing "laws" for us!! It beats all I've ever seen. The House is our last line of defense. Hopefully, the 14 incumbents who lost in the primaries drove home a message to those remaining that Americans are VERY angry about this new amnesty!!
The issue will not begin to be settled until:
-the 11 million ILLEGALS are sent back to Mexico.
-the GOP wakes up to the real problem--FIX MEXICO.
-Bush understands that 11 million people dumped on Vincente Fox's doorstep will bring about reform, including US companies investing south of the border.
What? You mean we CAN'T send 11 million people across the border?
Mexico did.
Teddy has been a disaster for this country and hopefully the House tells him no once and for all.

Mexico did.
While I agree with you, and I wish they would try to deport, I can promise you that they are NEVER even going to attempt to deport 11 million illegals. They figure that bringing Mexico into the new "Americas" will fix it. Open borders from Mexico's south border to Canada's north border, is their vision!! The "fix" is in, and that's their answer!! AMNESTY!!
More people = more regulation = less freedom.
Senate immigration subcommittee chairman Edward Kennedy (D-MA.) reassured his colleagues and the nation with the following:
"First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same ... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset ... Contrary to the charges in some quarters, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia ... In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think."
Also Edward Kennedy (D-MA.):
"The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs."
In 1965, new Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach testified:
"This bill is not designed to increase or accelerate the numbers of newcomers permitted to come to America. Indeed, this measure provides for an increase of only a small fraction in permissible immigration."
Sen. Claiborne Pell (D-RI):
"Contrary to the opinions of some of the misinformed, this legislation does not open the floodgates." (Congressional Record, Sept. 20, 1965, p. 24480.)

He sure has. I wish the House would tell him, but I wonder if they're even going to be able to stand up to the pressure from Republicans. That really does concern me. There's a lot of things that go on that we don't know about. Threats of retaliation, and things like that.
LOL! Thanks for the laugh! :o)
So far the House appears to be holding tough but I know they're going to be under a lot of pressure to bend. I'd rather see no bill than anything near what the Senate's trying to foist on us.
"Senate floor manager and Camelot knight-errant Ted Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, assured jittery senators that "our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually."
No wonder he's drunk every day.
