JD Hayworth, Mike Pence, Tom Tancredo,
True Conservatives! IMHO
HA! Someone's been reading my tagline.... ;)

Hopefully, the house will put the Brakes to this plan ASAP!
Legal Definition;
amnesty n. a blanket abolition of an offense by the government, with the legal result that those charged or convicted have the charge or conviction wiped out. Examples: a) the amnesty given to Confederate officials and soldiers after the Civil War, or b) President Jimmy Carter's granting amnesty (under certain conditions) to those who violated the selective service act in evading the draft during the Vietnam War. The basis for amnesty is generally because the war or other conditions that made the acts criminal no longer exist or have faded in importance. Amnesty is not a pardon as some believe, since a pardon implies forgiveness, and amnesty indicates a reason to overlook or forget the offenses.
President Bush is just doing the job Americans won't do.
Well JD, just make sure you keep the steel in the spine of your fellow House memebrs, and not be hornswaggled by the Senate.
This is such a mess.
Of the 6.4 billion earthlings, about 4.8 billion exist below the Mexican standard of living.
If we want to "compassionate" and give US citizenship to people who "want to improved their lives", why not start with the poorest of the poor and work our way up?
I'm waiting for the story about the National Guard and how they are helping our BP people.
Still waiting..........
Bump. If the House does not stop this, crime/gangs/drugs will surge out of control. Spanish will replace English and the USA will go broke.
God, if it could only be so...
Cats and dogs living together...mass hysteria!!!!
---Illegal aliens will have to “pay taxes”: That’s no penalty; they’re supposed to pay taxes. In fact, according the Sen. Chuck Grassley, under Bush’s plan illegals would have the option to only have to pay three of their last five years in back taxes.
They have to “keep their nose clean”: Big deal. So does everybody else.
They have to get a tamper-proof ID card: Oh, the humanity!
They’ll have to stay employed: But isn’t that why they came here, to do jobs Americans won’t?
They’ll have to learn English: That’s a benefit to the illegal.
Most of these “benchmarks” would be required of any legal immigrant. They are in no way burdensome, yet Tony Snow makes them sound almost oppressive.
The only real punishment on the entire list is the fine. Know what it is? A measly $2,000 payable in two $1,000 installments. When you consider what illegals get for their two grand, it’s the deal of a lifetime.---
We're supposed to believe that the government doesn't have the resources to enforce our laws, but that they'll enforce these conditions somehow. I think what outrages many of us more than anything is that they have the gall to peddle this crap.
The country has more important things to focus on. Tax cuts. Iraq. Iran. The 2006 elections. Jeb Bush's future. Phone records. Global warming. The rights of bicyclists.
EXCELLENT point!
Glenn I nominate you for tagline of the month! or year!! That is so profound and true. The Bushbots hate being confronted on issues and only hurl spin and insult in return.
Wait till the Central American gangs hit your hood. Then let's see what you have to say.
