Boehner hints a back down on 'amnesty'
The Washington Times ^ | March 29, 2006 | Charles hurt

Posted on 03/29/2006 7:15:28 AM PST by surely_you_jest

House Majority Leader John A. Boehner refused yesterday to rule out compromising with the Senate to expand the House border security bill to include a guest-worker program or provisions that opponents call "amnesty." "Let's wait and see what the Senate can produce," he told reporters yesterday when asked whether House Republicans would reject the Senate Judiciary Committee's proposal to allow the estimated 12 million illegal aliens now in the U.S. to seek citizenship after paying a fine.

Bush should be impeached if he gets this through.

Here's one right here!

Indeed. But 'free speech' doesn't extend to foreign nationals invading our country and raising their country's banner over our public buildings.






Apparently, it does. Have you seen ANY of them arrested?
If so, PLEASE post the pics and articles here.

Wow, if there are any politicians out there please note this hot topic. How often does this thread get any larger.

Republicans can shove it and go back to being a minority for another 40 years. Thanks alot, slime! I refuse to support your party. You will ruin this country.

BTW, I am not a racist.

>>>>>And that may address some of those coming into the country, but how are you going to extract 20 million people already here?

They will extract themselves, once it no longer pays to be here. If Wal-Mart's CEO ends up serving 20 years for conspiring to hire illegals, for example, you can bet a whole lot of employers will no longer run the risk of hiring illegals. If illegals don't make money by being here, they will go home.

I'm still trying to get use to it; I'm completely overwhelmed with the honor and power and I don't want to abuse it - quite yet.

But I do want to thank the little people who voted for and supported me...

Not that it matters, since your comments are out of sync with what we were talking about, but here you go anyway:

There is a word for people who are more concerned with Americans being able to get a decent living than with foreigners being able to get a decent living. That word is "patriot."

Strawman.

Allowing the country to be flooded by illegals drives down the price of labor and hurts working-class Americans. It's had a particularly disastrous impact in the black community.

The willingness of blacks to take certain jobs is way down on the list of disasters that are self-imposed on the black community.

It's an internet forum, that would be kind of hard to do.

Thank you for the analysis.

You, on the other hand, will get to think your choices are making a difference, when in fact you are being played like a fiddle. My vote will, as you point out, be meaningless; what you fail to realize is that yours is equally so.

Fortunately, I can laugh about it. I doubt that you can. I win.
