Thanks to exhaustedmomma for the Ping!

The compromise wasn't really a compromise at all, because both bills were big on amnesty and weak on enforcement.

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."

Okay, it's getting personal now. I'm in Virginia, right on the water, and I just saw a car with California plates and three potential illegals looking for construction work. They were asking people on the street where the work was!

Somehow, word has gotten out that contractors in Virginia are hiring illegals, because this isn't the first I've heard of it.

Thanks Stopem!

The following are our current immigration laws that need to be enforced with some amendments added, along with a strong tough border control policy that includes armed guards and an electrified fence -3,497 posted on 04/08/2006 7:31:26 AM CDT by stopem

The term "Coyote Senators," is an excellent name for Specter, Graham, DeWine, Brownback, and your pic, pretty much, and pitifully sums up the story of H.R. 4437! In the present immigration legislation, the tag team of McInsane (control the Internet) and Kennedy have lived up to their billing, of two huge Jackasses.

Whatever the Hell's Angels are or aren't, I'm thinking they could come up with a better immigration bill than the Senate

The Senate needs to take up HR4437 that is waiting for them and quit writing their own pathetic legislation.

I call this odious amnesty bill "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" Well, it ain't going to fly this year. Screw you Vicente and all the Latino fifth columnists in the USA.

Must Read Ping!

Personally, I'd be willing to kick in that extra 21 cents for the knowledge that a head of lettuce hadn't been picked by some foreign guy who risked his life to get here just so he could be dicked over by some giant agribusiness corporation.

Well, now, that's calling a spade a spade....

The immigration debate is really not a debate at all

I am very honored to be your FRiend. Next to you I feel like such a half-activist. ;^)

The Senate, House and White House are seriously confused about what is at issue and what is at stake here.

The issue of a guest worker program is completely separate from the issue of illegal aliens.

We have a guest worker program. It may need to be reformed but illegal aliens are those who have not applied to be guest workers. There are 11 million of them. (or more) The only thing needing reform now concerns illegal aliens and border security. We need to enforce the existing laws respecting the presence and employment of illegal aliens and border security.

Border security is the number one problem in this debate. The flood of illegal aliens is a major factor in relation to our lack of border security but it is only one factor. There is also a matter of national security in a time of war and in an age when terrorists have set their sights on inflicting mass destruction on our society.

After the issues of border security and millions of illegal foreign nationals on our soil the matter of guest workers is very small. Until the first two problems are thoroughly and firmly addressed the guest worker issue should not even be discussed.

The President the Senate and the House need to get that message with unambiguous resolve.

Border security! No employment for illegal aliens!

Immigration and a guest worker program are separate issues from the above.

Now is the time to put the pressure on!
