Bills Could Grant Legality To 10 Million Immigrants

Amen!

Is he trying to take a dump or think like a republican?

Every time I see this guy:

I think of this guy:

[Bullish]

What a crock of idiocy!

McCain is insane! These bills are stupid.

[Travis McGee]

That man just ain't right in the head.

"It's high time for a new House Un-American Activities Committee."

Agree completely. Not going to be revived, however; there are too many in Congress now who themselves wouldn't be able to pass muster. Nor could the liberal MSM--can you imagine the hissy fit there?

As others on this thread have admonished: Never say never. Until the dozer pushes my carcass over the pit's edge I'll consider this OUR country before so-called "civil servants", power intoxicated judges (time for implementing oversight) and invaders whose only right is humane treatment during their swift deportation.

While I'm ranting let me say we should be INsourcing all processes and manufacturing that would prevent our nation from winning an unforeseen conflict, which means a revitalized manufacturing and agricultural base reborn from what we do best: Technology. Companies that resist upgrading for the sake of cheap labor (neoslavery) need to be taxed and SHAMED while their competitors who improve their operations while utilizing native workers should be rewarded with incentive breaks.

In short - a total reversal of this "Race-To-The-Bottom" greed glut that has brought us to these current circumstances while corrupting every level of commerce.

The time window is closing shut. Will average Americans wake up to the fact that their future is being sold out in trade deals and surrendered sovereignty or will they blithely ignore the news for the car-crash morbidity of "reality entertainment"?

[Travis McGee]

They won't wake up until the economy implodes.

Sen. John McCain, D-Ariz. (leftist),

[endthematrix]

"estimated 10 million to 12 million illegal immigrants now in the United States. "

Estimates... Two million spread...

America doesn't even know how many illegals we have, and pols are pushing to give unknown persons sanctuary? And they have the audacity to claim it's in the name of security.

[Czar]

First, I agree with everything you said. In addition to the very valid point you raised about revitalizing the manufacturing base so that we are self-contained when it comes to military conflicts, there is something else now transpiring which we need to factor into our thinking: BRAC.

Note the extremely long laundry list of new bases proposed for closure. Kind of makes one wonder doesn't it? That hi-tech lean, mean fighting machine is just ducky, but if the balloon ever goes up with Red China (and it will), we're going to need our military bases and a much revitalized defense industrial base, including the previous and unparalleled subcontractor/supplier base.

[NewRomeTacitus]

Not only does the man refuse to defend our sovereignty, he helps weaken it's remaining defenses.

Novus Ordo Seclorum.

Americans are afraid to ask, "What next?"

The Mexican government now publishes a book instructing its nationals on how to be an illegal.

Ironically, one of the big selling points of the NAFTA deal was that it would greatly alleviate illegal Mexican border-jumping......but since that time it has skyrocketed.

Adding insult to injury American taxpayers are subsidizing foreign aid transfers to Mexico. The government of Mexico---with all of its oil revenue----needs to be taking care of its own people, "outsourcing' them as wards of American taxpayers. Mexico can well-afford it.

Mexico has more "Forbes" billionaires, 11, than all but eight other nations. It has more billionaires than Saudi Arabia, Switzerland or Taiwan. It also has more than 85,000 millionaires.

According to a CNN report, Mexico sits on oil reserves worth about $400 billion, but Mexico's state-owned oil company, Pemex, doesn't have the investment funds to tap those reserves, and Mexico's Congress refuses to allow foreign investment in Pemex.

According to Visa International--which is now clamoring for a share of the transfer fees--American money sent South of the Border by illegals constitutes $38 BILLION this year alone constituting Mexico's second largest most profitable industry.

America should mandate proof for all cash transfers out of the US and/or force all transferring agencies -- banks, credit unions, Amex, Western Union to collect a substantial withholding tax -- 50%, say -- on every unexplained foreign remittance.

America needs to seal our borders and let Vincente Fox know that we will cut off every penny in aid he gets from the United States.

Fox's elitist, unmitigated contempt for working-class Americans cannot go unchallenged.

"FIRST build a real security fence, and THEN come talk to us about other options."

Absolutely correct. Without stopping the huge flow of new illegals, this bill is laughable....as well as those that put it forth.

[Travis McGee]

"Don't worry Charlie Brown, this time we really really will tighten up the border, and go after employers who hire illegal aliens.

"Next year, right after we pass the guest worker amnesty for 10 or 12 million illegal aliens."
