If the GOP is thinking they will get the hispanic vote they are dreaming. The only other excuse of selling out is that they want to get along.

how many decades has this been going on for? just a question

The republicans are committing political suicide.

[TennTuxedo]

The Dems and there supporters are salivating over getting millions of illegal aliens amnesty. It creates millions of new victims for the Dems to pander to. It creates a new low paying working class who will be bought by the unions-thus millions of new union members to replace the millions of former members who left the unions because the unions cost them their jobs.

[Cicero]

Neal is mistaken if he thinks the Democrats will wait until all these illegals are given amnesties before allowing them to vote. Illegals are already voting by the millions in states like California, and I'm sure it's spreading all over.

Not only do Republicans need to do something about immigration, they need to do something about election corruption. It's getting worse and worse, and the stupid party has been absolutely hapless about it.

Much of this happened under clinton, who greatly increased the numbers of illegal votes. But Bush has done nothing to reverse it, even though it nearly cost him the election.

[catmanblack.]

I have called Shelby of Alabama he has not returned my call, although he has a nice sounding honey working at his office who listened to every word I said. Even emailed him, but he is a former democrat, he is living in another world now like the rest of those yahoos.

[Ronin]

The really ironic thing about this issue is that it is the first time, in my memory anyhow, when mid-level and rank-and-file members of BOTH parties are strongly against a policy that the leadership of both parties want, albeit for different reasons.

The Senate and the President are the ones driving this amnesty bus. The rest of the country hates it.

At present, 84 percent of the federal budget is for entitlements, defense, homeland security, or interest on the debt. Any effort to achieve a reduction in spending by focusing on the remaining 16 percent is unlikely to be very effective. For example, a 1 percent cut in nominal non-security discretionary spending for one year reduces total spending by only 0.17 percent. Over five years, it reduces total spending by 0.89 percent......http://www.brookings.edu/views/testimony/sawhill/20060215.htm ......Look at the cash!!!!Another thread on here yesterday noted that one of the Senate plans allowed 193 million immigrants over 20 years. IMHO, that number is no accident. That number is what Capitol Hill has calculated will be required to keep our social programs AND the rest of governmnet running. This explains the "bipartisan" character of border neglect.

If they want to vote in Missouri, NOW they will have to show a photo ID.

Our Republican majority shoved it down the dems throats and FINALLY passed a law stating that to vote, you must have a photo ID.

This will eliminate about 500,00 dead people from voting in St. Louis in the next election.

[glorgau]

Who says they aren't already voting? It's illegal to ask for any kind of ID.

Step Four will be regrouping and withdrawing and seceding from the States and forming states that still contain primarily English speaking citizens.

[Fruitbat]

... in essence forming a new nation after the Southern part of ours becomes overrun.
