That is about the same consideration that they will get by allowing 20 million socialists into the country for no real reason at all, other than a short term economic benefit that will destroy our culture.

What do you all think?
What do I think? Well, I think President Bush should start enforcing the laws that are on the books. I think he should stand up to President Fox. I think he should stand up for America. Last week, he said he was going ot enforce our laws. I think he should do that. What do you think?
If they have time for regulating Baseball, and halftime activities at the superbowl, they have time for border security and immigration.
This was the plan. No Action.
I think it's pure b.s. There was no provision to drop the hammer on the illegals who choose to remain illegal and how the #$%@ do you figure out how an "undocumented" alien has been in the country. I do like the Ensign ammendment, though.
Yes, the ThugoRats stink, as usual, they reach out of the gutter to block anything that might be good for America -- BUT in this case, the news that this got stalled, is GOOD FOR AMERICA. This legislation does NOT CONTAIN anything of substance that would CLOSE THE BORDER to further illegal alien traffic and security risks. NOTHING.
The Congress is good at using the scarlet fish, and still thinks the American people don't know their end game relative to the border....with El Jefe sitting in the wings, happy as a clam, along with his buddy, Vincente, and their open border attempt at ONE AMERICA. Sorry boys, America is not buying it and the amendments that might give the American citizen a fighting chance at saving our country from liberal, pro-illegal pols, still has to play.
THE BORDERS NEED TO BE CLOSED. PRIORITY ONE. The rest can come later.
IMMIGRATION DRAMA IN THE SENATE [Stephen Spruiell]
One Republican Senate staffer who's been working on the immigration bill tells NRO how it all went down: Around Wednesday afternoon, it became clear that Sens. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Mel Martinez (R-FL) were preparing to offer their compromise bill as an alternative to the original Judiciary Committee bill. The compromise wasn't really a compromise at all, because both bills were big on amnesty and weak on enforcement.
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.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-'08) wanted a vote on the Hagel-Martinez compromise, and so he sent the bill back to the Judiciary Committee with instructions that the committee strip out the Sessions-Nelson enforcement bill and add in the Hagel-Martinez compromise.
The committee complied, and sent the bill back to the floor with the changes Frist wanted. This morning, the Senate voted 38-60 against cloture on the Hagel-Martinez compromise, and 36-62 against cloture on the original Judiciary Committee bill - effectively killing both. The similar margins, the staffer says, "show you that the compromise didn't get us very far."

"But" always wipes out whatever came before it.
Senator, you coulda been a hero. But you took the cowards way out.
Now ya got nuthin'...
I got the same email. I thought it was just some more talk with no real action.
Like hell.
We have laws in this country they can enforce that don't need Dem cooperation in the form of new legislation.
The fact they don't enforce existing law means "amnesty" from their voters politically with these excuses will not be available.
Enforce existent laws on the book Senator.
How can they be BEHIND people who WANT to come if they got here ahead of them?
Bye, Bye, in 08, Limp Wrist Frist, we hardly knew ye, but of what we do know, go, blow.
The senators would have us to believe that we cannot identify and send home 11 million illegals. Then why do they belevee that we can:
1) identify and pinpoint exactly when every illegal came to this country.
2) investigate and keep a record of which ones have paid their taxes.
3} keep an exact record of all those who have paid the fine required by this legislation before they can become citizens.
4) test them all to make sure they can read and write english fluently.
5) do background checks to be sure they have not committed any crimes.
6) etc.
If we actually to do all these things it will be much harder and a lot more expensive than just identifying as many as possible and sending them home.
They know damned well that little if any of these things will get accomplished and everything will continue just as it currently is FUBAR.
While Frist is at it, I wish he'd give me "a temporary million dollars". I'd be willing to return it when the temporary worker plan expires and the worker is returned to Mexico, like that will EVER happen.
Just document the people and fingerprint them. Keep out the folks from Saudi Arabia and other countries that are our enemies. Mexicans are not our enemies, folks.
I am still wondering why the Mexicans can't make it in their own country?
It's too bad someone can't start a positive campaign about Mexico. By this, I mean look at all the land that is just sitting there. It's mostly untouched. Look at what it's people could do if they just would. The untapped natural resources that the Mexican people should claim as their own; not the government. I do not understand why they can't be resourceful in their own country. It is a gold mine just waiting to happen.
