Fristicuffs: Limp-wristed "fight" put on for display, as an effort to convince the "useful idiot" voters that their "leaders" are "working to solve the problem."

Cheers!
Joe,
My point was the Senate bill was not designed to pass. And that the end result is
no stronger enforcement law or Amnesty bill...thus what we now have... status quo.
Wrong branch of government.
From the article you posted:
""On Wednesday night, as soon as the floor was clear, Sens. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Ben Nelson (D-NE) entered the Senate chamber and added their own substitution - an enforcement-only bill that called for the construction of a fence, the addition of more enforcement personnel and broader use of surveillance technology, among other measures. Under Senate rules, their substitution blocked the Hagel-Martinez bill from consideration.""
Why didn't they consider this bill by Sen. Sessions? It sounds like a good start to solve the problem.
I'm not sure which is the bigger pile of cra-, the new Senate bill that they proposed or the Senators that came up with it.
If you're not dead on point with your comments, you're close enough to it. It stinks.
I live near the border, you have no idea how convinced they are that Americans owe them something for coming here. They will knock on the door of my house and demand, (yes demand, not ask) for food, or to use my phone to call someone to come get them when they miss their coyote connection on this side. I had some just this morning. I always help them out by calling Border Patrol.
Typical example of a politician not understanding this issue. Had did not need to compromise. Had he put in for tighter border security (Enforcement first), the Dem senators would have been inundated with calls to support it.
Those calls would not have been just from those on the right but also ardent liberals. The issue of illegal border crossing transends all party and ideological lines. even many Mexican Americans - of the legal sort - support closing the border.
The problem here is that Frist did not examine his core beliefs and act on them. If he believes that the border needs to be closed first, then he should not have stuck to it. The outcome would have been victory or Dems that look Dim on this issue.
Your picture says it all.
The more pressure we keep on Mexico, immigration-wise, the more reformers inside of Mexico can be emboldened and empowered to scale back monopolists' abuses down there which keep our own country flooded with economic refugees. Here's an interesting new thread on new legal progress that finally emerged in Mexico I think as a result of immigration reform's failure:

We can make a difference for our sake, and their's as well. Isn't it the neighborly thing to do?
LOL!! Heaven knows they are raping our country.
Brilliant! Absolutely brillliant!
Letter to the editor I sent.
I just finished reading the AP report titled ?Bush pushes Congress to act on immigration overhaul? and I have to say on this issue I stand with the Dixie Chicks and am ashamed that Bush hails from Texas. Neither Bush nor many of those elected to serve We the People are listening to the roar of their constitutes, to enforce our laws and borders. Bush?s and other elected representatives stance on this issue is nothing less than Tyranny.
With many of those present at Bush?s pep rally to make the illegal aliens legal, representing business interest, We the People were still able to raise three questions concerning the invasive flood of illegal aliens. No one I know would dispute Bush saying the illegal aliens risk death trying to enter our country illegally. Some three thousand illegal aliens have died trying to enter our country illegally since 1986. President Bush and many of our elected representatives are directly responsible for those that have died and those that will die in the future. The reason being is that by not upholding our laws when they (our elected government) duped We the People into the 1986 Amnesty, they encourage the illegal aliens to make the dangerous illegal crossing of our porous southern border. How do these people live with themselves sending our sons and daughters to die in foreign lands to die for Democracy, while they practice Tyranny here and are directly responsible the deaths of the three thousand illegal aliens?
Bush goes on to say, ?Massive deportation of the people here is unrealistic---it?s just not going to work,?. I?m sure most have heard of the old adage ?build it and they will come?, this is the case with the current invasion of illegal aliens. For the illegal aliens wishing to work they can openly work, fly their country?s fag above our own without fear of being deported and still reap the freebies provided by American taxpayers, plus have thousands of anchor babies. No one I know has suggested massive deportation. Most people I know say strengthen and enforce our laws against the Greedy Rich that hire these illegal aliens and cut off ALL benefits and the illegal aliens will have little choice but to leave, and those that don?t can be forced under our laws to leave. Bush further states ?You know, you can hear people out there hollering it?s going to work. It?s not going to work.? We the People know that indeed it won?t work when our government lies, misleads and practices Tyranny, all for cheap labor no matter the cost to most American citizens.
Pick up your phones, get in touch any way you can, with your supposed representative and tell them you will not stand for their Tyranny against We the People, enforce our laws against the Greedy Rich!
