A RISING STAR
There is still a little glimmer of hope.
DeMint is a rising star in the GOP for many reasons - this is one example.
Watch this man down the road - he has a national future if he seeks it.
this is what I would call jumping the gun, creating hysteria without knowing what is in the bill. I’d like to know how high I am before I jump.
Heh...That was a quick turnaround from earlier.
I sent him email and a fax about an hour ago telling him that I’ll be a constituent of his starting this September and I’d never vote Republican as long as I live if he didn’t do everything in his power to stop this bill.
From NRO:
Immigration “Reform” Is Unmanageable [Andy McCarthy]
That’s the conclusion of my buddy Bill West over at the Counterterrorism Blog. Bill knows — he’s been in the trenches as a National Security Chief at INS and its successor, the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It’s all worth reading, but in a nutshell he points out:
The Federal immigration bureaucracy that will be tasked with administering any of these reforms will be the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). CIS is already unable to effectively deal with its existing benefit adjudication missions. Virtually all internal and external Government reviews of CIS performance have established significant problem areas, including lack of resources and management performance. The bad ghosts of the old INS, from where CIS sprang, linger in a big way. To expect an already overburdened and poorly managed Federal agency to properly deal with a sudden huge increase in mission workload is a fantasy.

Bush said this plan solves the problem without animosity and without amnesty.
The fact is, he brewed up both amnesty and animosity.
Praise God! A voice of reason in Washington today.
This whole immigration thing needs to go through an election, before it’s passed, not after.

The pride of South Carolina.
As opposed to Pandsey Graham, who is the...uh...not the pride of South Carolina.

Demint should nail this thing hard...make it clear for what it is for all to see. Sadly, shamefull IMHO, there is little hope that he can keep the Senate from passing it...but if he does his job, the House is a different matter, and there will be time for the people to make it clear that it is not in the Congressmen’s best interest.
1000 Pages? Should only take one page....”Get the hell out or go to prison.” Don’t seem that hard to me.
If we the people want to stop this, we can. It’s just a question of whether we really want to stop it.
Well, Drudge linked the press release, so, it’s pegged.....
Thanks for posting this. I heard this on the way home from work and am trying to wade thru all of the info. When I heard about the deal on Schnitt as I was driving, what ran thru my mind was the illegal aliens and their supporters in the streets of America demanding we let them stay. And, here we are, giving in to their demands. Sickening....

Yes, it is. I am glad to see that Senator DeMint is forthrightly naming this bill as an amnesty.
Paging Senator Byrd. A filibuster is needed. You’ve done it before, and you can do it again.
It’s imperative that we ALL contact our Senators to tell them NO DEAL! That bunch of traitors who met in secret and are going to try to ram this deal down our throat should be impeached/recalled/hanged because they are destroying America. Who in the sam hell do they think they are!!!
