If this goes through (and it looks like it will) how many more hundreds of thousands of illegals will inundate our country?

[ECM]

Hundreds of thousands? You are a conservative...

[DumpsterDiver]

But in January, he [Bush] outlined a "set of principles"...

He could use a "set".

[SpaceBar]

How many microseconds would a proposal to legalize migrant attorneys last?

It would be interesting to see Rove's numbers on this. Is it really true that he will gain more votes than he will lose? I think it is foolish from a political point of view; it is certainly a disaster from any other point of view.

Bad policy makes for bad politics, as they say.

Regarding Chris Cannon:

He has a challenger who pledges to oppose illegal immigration and other Cannon favorites:

From this: www.vdare.com/guzzardi/californication.htm
"most Utahns are deeply offended by the flagrant violation of the Articles of Faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints... Throckmorton, a Church member himself, said: “The Articles of Faith are of great importance to Utahns. Article 12 states clearly that we must obey, honor and sustain the law.”" (One of Throckmorton's supporters got into trouble by falsely claiming that because of this the LDS had endorsed Throckmorton, but the way he states it is probably quite OK.)

The lawmakers have spent more than seven years crafting the legislation - the Agricultural Job Opportunity, Benefits and Security Act - and have assembled an unusual coalition of groups to back it. They include the American Farm Bureau, the United Farm Workers, the AFL-CIO, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Council of La Raza.

Well, it appears as though at least one racist organization, the National Council of La Raza, has come out in support of this bill. I wonder if any other racist organizations, such as the Ku Klux Klan or the White Aryan Brotherhood, will also support this bill.

Way to go Hastert. Sheesh.

More government fun.

How is this different from the laws that exist to let temporary sugar can pickers into this country? It is not.

We need to use this as an opportunity to build our borders.

All together now:
"DOING THE JOBS AMERICANS WON'T DO",...

[sixmil]

Should be clear that no one really cares about jobs anymore. Here is a chance to create 500,000 jobs, instead they flush it down the toilet. Dems will be in charge in January unless the House has the balls to shelve this. People on this site call me crazy when I say there is not much difference between the two parties, this is one issue where they are dead wrong.

National Council of La Raza

Isn't it just dandy that La Raza is in favor of it, many House and Senate members are in favor of it, BUT approximately 70% of America is AGAINST it? Our votes don't count anymore, thanks to Republican AND Democrat pandering to Mexico and a big nod from the White House.

I was afraid of this day. Interesting to see Teddy is pushing this as if he has ever met a migrant worker. Next he'll be turning over the border states to Mexico.

[k2blader]

Ted Kennedy and La Raza supporting this should say it all.
