Helloooo, Washington - anybody listening?

Time does not permit me to elaborate how frustrating the DC/MSM spin on this has been. We know of several people who have gone through years of government bungling in order to legally emigrate to the US (including a woman who married an American overseas and become the stepmother of his children -- she was widowed when he died and wanted to return to the US to care for his children along with their grandmother, but was forced to go back to college by US Immigration to get additional degrees to be allowed to stay). Another case is that of a student who has been charged late fees for continuing residency applications that were sent in (and arrived) 2 months early but that the immigration people didn't bother to review until after the deadline had passed.

The sad part is that in both cases it might have been easier and cheaper to simply sneak across the border with Mexico and wait to be awarded amnesty...

They are not listening and they could care less. The battle must be taken to the House where at all costs the Republic lies in peril.

Keep the powder dry. There is no enforcement intended as usual at all.
It is intended for us all to become slaves to the mighty elitists class.

And they smugly laugh at us from their perch.

Call the House and prepare for real America to hit the streets. We must and we shall.

Time to turn out some Republicans. This means either don't vote, or vote for the Dem. So be it. Every few years those in power need an ass kicking. Stall this bill into the elections and see what the people really want. There is no reason to be in a hurry here. We are talking about the future of our country for decades to come. Lets find out what the totality of America really wants, not the sissy pols and their media pimps.

Sobering truth. Sad but not unexpected and certainly, in light of what this recent snub to the American people and legal immigrants has been, shameful.

I am in depression right now....I know what is going to happen in this country.....here in Denver...less than one third graduate from Denver Public schools...less than one third...and 50% of them are illegal aliens that don't speak English. I know what will happen in 5 years when we go thru another recession like we always do...there will be millions of uneducated illegals draining our system....we will lower our status...and dumb down America...its truly sad..sad...they just played taps on the radio for Memorial Day...its taps for America

Evil happens when good men do nothing. It might soon be time for those erstwhile "rough men" to do their thing.

Not me. The only thing I enjoy more than a good fight is a bad one. :)

Time to turn out some Republicans.

RINOs only. Let's start in NJ where we have an EXCELLENT opportunity to deny a RINO his nomination for a US Senate seat:

No More RINOS! Ginty for Senate in NJ

I just e-mailed my senator, Lugar, and told him: "Hey, you vote--so do I!"
Next, to Mr. Pence to remind him that I would like for him to re-present my views: "No amnesty for law-breaking foreign nationals!" And I `carry' a few dozen votes as well. (Or at least that's what they tell me.)

Helloooo, Washington - anybody listening?

No, nobody's listening. This from Michelle Malkin's blog regarding the treasonous "immigration reform" bill the Senate passed with Bush's urging yesterday:

Senator Cornyn gave Lou Dobbs a statement saying the last-minute Amendment SA 41[8]8 says Mexico must be consulted before any fence is constructed.

Anybody here think that Mexico will let a fence---let alone a wall---be constructed on our southern border?
