Where is home?" Mr. Graham asked his colleagues Monday. "Their home is where they've raised their children. Their home is where they've lived their married lives."


Their home, the ones WE AMERICANS paid for?

They aren't IMMIGRANTS, they are CRIMINALS.... and they need to be treated as such. My ancestors were a mix of legal immigrants and native people. So were many many people... I've known plenty of honest legal immigrant mexicans and they want to be a part of this country.. they are massively insulted by the illegals and their actions.

But when he wrestled with the issue, Mr. Brownback decided that he couldn't join the ranks of those who wanted simply to push out illegal immigrants.

How much do they make? Gimmy that Senator's job and paycheck and retirement. See just how fast I can hit the streets, spot the illegals and "encourage" them to head back home.

It's time for middle class hard working tax paying Americans to organize and make OUR voices heard. There are ALOT more of us than there are illegal aliens and our elected officials are counting on us sitting here with our mouths shut and not saying a damn word about this illegal invasion and the selling out of the American middle class worker. If Americans are not willing to fight for their own jobs and their own future, they will end up with neither.

"Lindsey will be deported from SENATE come ELECTION 2006."

I'd like to see him gone too but I think his term is up in 2008.

Just wondering when the MSM will begin reporting on the Democratic split on this issue.

"There is a danger that if the face of the Republican Party is Tancredo that we could be weaker with Hispanics for generations," Mr. Norquist said. "If the face of the Republican Party is George Bush or Ronald Reagan, we win. This is up for grabs.""

Interesting. Grover Norquist, the MSM, etc., framing this debate as one about "identity". Natually no discussion of the detrimental economic effects on government and other working Americans.

The NYTimes is telling the politicians to keep the faith. Republican House leaders might fold.

No they won't. But they don't do it on any issue. I think they fear exposing there is "no there there." They have no ideas only impulses. Plus they will show how utterly alienated the Democratic party is from those who they traditionally claimed to support.

"But when he wrestled with the issue, Mr. Brownback decided that he couldn't join the ranks of those who wanted simply to push out illegal immigrants. "This is also about the hallmark of a compassionate society, what you do with the widows, the orphans and the foreigners among you," he said."

This is another interesting propaganda line. One could ask why we don't let in more then? Why just widows and orphans, why not the middle class? This line is salable only if isolated from an examination economic effects of insourcing cheap labor on the lower and middle classes. So far successfully, at least in the MSM.

Deport the US Senate to Mexico.

It appears that is who they are working for anyway.

Okay I give in. These traitorous bast*ds are gonna legalize 11-20 million illegal aliens. Once they do the American citizens recourse should be:

outsource Congress - out of all those H1-b's I am sure someone will work a heckuva lot cheapre than the current crew

tear down the fence at the White House - we have been told fences don't work!

make sure all SS people guarding Pres. Bush are illegal aliens - he loves and trusts them so much

sign all those 11-20 million illegals and their families up for every social program we have - let's just destroy all the systems and get it over with

After that is all done then WE the American citizens can start over with a government that actually gives a dam about American citizens!

If the "republicans" are going to go along with recruiting DemocRAT voters from Mexico and importing Mexico's poverty to America, they can KMA. Like "global warming," the DemocRATS' "poverty" gig is just another big myth and scam being perpetrated upon the American people. How can the American taxpayers ever "win the war on poverty" when the politicians in this country have joined with Mexican politicians to continue to import Mexico's poverty to America. EVERYTHING short of building a wall and deporting the ALL of the illegals aliens is pure bovine scatology.

He was elected in 1962 to finish the final two years of the Senate term of his brother, Senator John F. Kennedy, who was elected President in 1960.

The dems are about 90% unified behind McKennedy.

The pubs are split into four groups.

The deportation group
The Kyl-Cornyn group
The Bush group
The McKennedy group
