LOL, I had to search for it...it's at the top of this page.
According to Sessions a lot of the GOP Senators know their bill is a disaster but are counting on the House to gut it. Why take that chance, they should act responsibly and come up with a worthy bill on their own.
Much obliged.

Thanks for the article. Very good!
Thank you so much for pointing these things out.
That type of gutless 'legislating' makes me want to puke. They are so heavily calculating everything they completely lose sight of what is right and wrong. This is a no-brainer for real Americans. We SECURE THE BORDER FIRST. Whatever they do after that will be unpleasant but tolerable. But without real border security, nothing they do is worth a damn.
All they're doing is making themselves look either like traitors and sellouts or cowards fearful the democrats will roll over them with filibusters and name calling. We'll have to leave it to the House for responsible leadership. Thanks for nothing Frist.
Frist has ZERO chance of become President in 2008. He has let Harry Reid run the Senate for the past 2 years. How does he expect to lead an entire country when he can't even lead 54 other republicans?
Frist hasn't got a chance in 2008. People complain about Lott but if he were majority leader there would be no Ted Kennedy scamnesty bill on the floor right now.
Gators on the Border!
I will. I have also contacted my congressman.
Two vulnerable Democrats who voted against this proposal--Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Bob Menendez (D-NJ)--are facing challenges from Republicans with strong stances on immigration: Mike McGavick in Washington and Tom Kean, Jr. in New Jersey.
If I'm not mistaken, kean came out against the abomination in the Senate (probably because his challenger came out strong against) and McGavick's platform is that GWP is DOA until the border is first secured. Maybe you can explain why their platforms are more responsible than the Senate you represent? I have to believe if the Senate was so damn popular right now on this issue that two prospective Senators in blue states, at least in mine (WA) dealing heavily with illegal immigration and growing Hispanic community, would be racing to join the Senate's full blown open borders crowd.
This tells me an awaful lot. This tell me as angry as your red state folks are, those of us in traditionally blue states are equally in uproar, including DEMOCRATS, putting Fred's ridiculous column on exhibition for who can write the most ridiculous column of the month.
I can't believe that a NJ Dem is "vulnerable."
You should have given warning. I nearly choked on my food. LOL
Oh, this is so pathetic. Who ever thought we'd be back to the days of a pol trying to reshape the definition of a word. And that it would be Republicans. ::sigh::
Isn't that the same cowardice that rbought us CFR?
Why don't they earn those lush offices and kill it themselves! Filibuster the damn thing.
This just in:
President Bush has issued an executive order, calling for the deployment of 100,000 new cops on the border!!
/sarc
To prove what cowards they are they want to get it over and done with and off the floor knowing it's a piece of work then let the House kill it. It's no wonder the CFR traitors are moving forward so fast with their agenda.
