Live on C-Span now. Amendment to make English the official language of the United States and requiring that all business be conducted in English. Author is Senate James Inhofe. (Or is it "Imhofe?" I always forget. Anyway, a good guy.)
Thought a few might want a heads-up. Should be interesting, fasten your seat belts.
Thanks for the heads up
Unenforceable.
Oklahoma's Senator Inhofe is on the floor now, asking for a little more time before presenting his amendment. Amendments flying fast and furious right now!
Just out of curiosity, what will this do? Will it just make government documents exclusively in English?
King said Rove told lawmakers Bush is sincere about enforcement. But, he added, “The president doesn’t want to enforce immigration law because he’s afraid he’ll inconvenience someone who wants to come into the country for a better life.”
Someone will soon arrive
at a decent estimate of how
many illegals walk across
the Mexican border while
the Senators skip back
and forth across the aisle
with their "Good Friends."
And the Democrats are gaining
the advantage since they have
a whole slew of Amendments to
prate about. I guess by now
everyone has figured out that
the Dems are stealing any
thunder the GOP may have
started out with.
Just out of curiosity, what will this do? Will it just make government documents exclusively in English?
Yes. Ballots especially.
I think something is being taken out of context. This was reported on MSNBC ... right? ... and that says it all for me.
AT this point I will trust King over Bush thank you very much.
(Apologies to my old Spanish teacher, Mrs Clark)
Dunno...you know as much as me at this point.
I don't understand what is wrong with Bush's guest worker plan.
I don't see why this was not always the case- we at least would know who they are and where they were working
As it stands right now, we have to make criminal penalties for hiring illegals AT LEAST 10 times worse and ENFORCE IT.
Also- anyone who handed out welfare and social security to illegals should be JAILED
We can't even get English declared the official language of this forum.
My Espanol stinks...I took French. Why, I don't know.
I very much doubt that King is quoting Rove correctly. It just doesn't sound like something either he or the President would say.
English only is numero uno with me!
English only pronto!
The Cornyn-Kyl amendment is up now. Apparently it will be debated at length. Cornyn just started speaking.
"I don't understand what is wrong with Bush's guest worker plan. "
Its not a guest worker program because they don't go home, therefore aren't guests, and they don't have to work, and can take welfare. So it should be called the Amnesty Welfare program.
What is the Coryn-Kyl amendment please?
