Boehner might have come out with favorable statements lately, but Hassert is still the number one guy in the House. If he turns his back on us, we are screwed!!! CALL HIS OFFICE AND LET HIM KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!!!!!!!

[samadams2000]

If we have to make calls its lost. Its time to choose sides anyway.

[Altair333]

That's it- amnesty is a done deal if this report is true. You folks can make your calls and e-mails if you like, but Hastert's House was the last obstacle.

I will be voting for the Constitution Party from now on.

This isn't really a country any more- it's more of a "zone." A free trade and migration zone. And our politiicans and (judging by recent polls) a lot of Americans are apparently ok with that.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

So the great RINO illegal amnesty sellout skedaddle begins.

[nicmarlo]

Sorry if you already been pinged.

Speaker Hastert is indicating that he favors appointing members who support amnesty to the Conference Committee. Both President Bush and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist are pressuring Hastert to secure a guest worker amnesty for which the President can claim credit by stacking the Conference Committee with amnesty backers!

* * *

Please call all four telephone numbers to tell Speaker Hastert that backers of H.R. 4437 should be in any Conference Committee! Strong enforcement-only Members of the House to represent the American people!

Dennis Hastert is a fat-ass. How can I respect a man who doesn't even respect himself.

[Iscool]

It's time to drop the ball in Iraq...Get the soldiers home to protect our country...

If the gov't will scam us on our borders, they'll scam us on Iraq as well...

[Reaganwuzthebest]

Tancredo and the rest of them fought the good fight and still are but if any kind amnesty passes the game is over and I hate to say it but we all pretty much lost. We will be so overwhelmed with new illegals, guest workers, family chain members and all their offspring that a 400 to 500 million population and rising in a generation will not be out of the question. And most of the new people coming in will be voting for socialist governments, it's a fact the GOP leadership cannot seem to grasp. Or maybe do...

[Salvation]

Hastert?

IMO, there is only one way this issue will get turned around and that's if there is trouble at any or all of these marches, if or when any number of people decide to gather their courage and counter protest, letting the voices of the majority of americans against amnesty be heard. Previous protests took us by surprise. This time, the more their plans are 'announced' in the media, the angrier people are getting about it.

Should national guard have to be called out across this country, I think our leadership would go from being the cowards they are, to facing, in immediate and realtime, the reality of what their ignorance has brought upon this country and the threat that really lies behind those American flags. They will see these people for who they are, invaders DEMANDING from us what is NOT theirs for the taking. Individual cities and their law enforcement have permitted the gathering of numbers far beyond their control, creating a security nightmare. As far as I'm concerned, by doing so, they are unprepared for a worse case scenario that could happen all across this country, endangering the lives of everyone and the govt. has no one to blame but themselves.

D.C. needs a wake up call and as 'distressing' as it would be, they just might get it on, coincidentally, Mayday.

I've been afraid Hassert would be the weak link, if I remember correctly he already screwed Sensenbrener a year ago on a bill by promising they would take up illegal immigration as soon as they returned from a Christmas break and then "forgot about it." I had no reason to believe he wouldn't do something similar this time around. He may be a kindly, jolly-looking, man, but he hasn't exactly been our friend. With friends like this why do we even need a GOP majority in either house?

[biff0101]

The GOP will not get one dime from me or my vote this fall or maybe even 2008. I feel like I need a shower after these gutless RINO's forgot their principals and the people who voted for them. We need a third party now!!

[InABunkerUnderSF]

Congress should stall all immigration legislation until after the Mexican elections on July 2.

If Lopez Obrador wins it could mean major changes for US/Mexican relations. Some of his rhetoric sounds like Hugo Chavez on Prozac.

I predict the possibility that he and our leader will not be good friends. Vinnie el Zoro Quesdillas is basically a good honest Mexican political crook who couldn't overcome the handicap of an overwhelming PRI majority in the Senate and National Assembly and deliver to his base - imagine how Bush would have governed with a 70% Democrat majority in both houses.

Lopez Obrador spews a lot of soft socialist spin of the kind that the US media types (and poorly educated voters on both sides of the border) lap up. This conceals a world view that is major commie bad news.

FAIR Learns from Hill Sources: Hastert will Buck the American Public and Appoint Members Favoring Guest Worker Amnesty to House Conference Committee Throughout the Senate debate on immigration reform, members of the Senate have tried to develop strategy around the Conference Committee. The Conference Committee will be made up of Members from both the House of Representatives and the Senate appointed by the Leadership of each chamber. The Conference Committee is responsible for hammering out the differences of the enforcement/border security bill the House passed in December (H.R. 4437) and whatever legislation the Senate can pass.

Another anonymous source? Why are folks on this thread setting their hair on fire over a story based on an anonymous source? If the Senate recognized that they could not get Hagel-Martinez through conference, or the Senate for that matter, why does anyone think that they can get it through conference? This story does not hold together.
