>>Even with bipartisan Senate backing and Bush’s support, some analysts said supporters would need to round up as many as 70 Republicans to get the measure through the House because of opposition from Democrats in conservative districts.<<

And also because Pelosi fears a voter backlash in 2008 unless about 70 Republicans vote for it, so that she could blame both parties.

This bill gives illegals de facto amnesty because it gives them legalized status while their application for citizenship is 'pending'. Whether they ever apply for or get actual citizenship, they do get legalized status immediately.

M E X I C O reform,

Yeah, especially considering a good chunk of her new Democrats came out against amnesty on the campaign trail, like Harry Mitchell, Joe Donnelly, Brad Ellsworth, etc. If they vote for this bill, they'll have Republican opponents in 2008 slapping the "hypocrite" label on them so fast they'll get whiplash.

This seems to be the rational and plan for Mexico...no wonder they think the SPP and TransTexasCorridor are such good ideas! Apparently the people of Mexico think they have the "right" to cross anytime they want, and that, since they think we stole Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, they have the right to free health care, schooling, and social security. At least until they take back what we've stolen!

Jim: Juan, I see that you and thousands of other protesters are marching in the streets to demonstrate for your cause. Exactly what is your cause and what do you expect to accomplish by this protest?
Juan: We want our rights. We will show you how powerful we are. We will bring Houston to its knees!

Jim: What rights?
Juan: Our right to live here...legally. Our right to get all the benefits you get.

Jim: Why did you come?
Juan: For work. I can earn as much in a month as I could in a year in Mexico. Besides, I get free health care, our Mexican children can go to school free, if I lose my job I will get Welfare, and someday I will have the Social Security. Nothing like that in Mexico!

Jim: Did you feel badly about breaking our immigration laws when you came?
Juan: No! Why should I feel bad? I have a right to be here. I have a right to amnesty. I paid lots of money for my Social Security and Green Cards.

Jim: How did you acquire those documents?
Juan: From a guy in Dallas. He charged me a lot of money too.

Jim: Did you know that those documents were forged?
Juan: It is of no matter. I have a right to be here and work.

Jim: What is the “right” you speak of?
Juan: The right of all Aliens. It is found in your Constitution. Read it!

Jim: I have read it, but I do not remember it saying anything about rights for Aliens.
Juan: It is in that part where it says that all men have Alien rights, like the right to pursue happiness. I wasn’t happy in Mexico, so I came here.

Jim: I think you are referring to the declaration of Independence and that document speaks to unalienable rights. Not Alien rights.
Juan: Whatever.

Jim: Since you are demanding to become an American citizen, why then are you carrying a Mexican Flag?
Juan: Because I am Mexican.

Jim: But you said you want to be given amnesty. To become a US citizen.
Juan: No. This is not what we want. This is our country, a part of Mexico that you Gringos stole from us. We want it returned to its rightful owner.

Jim: Juan, you are standing in Texas. After wining the war with Mexico, Texas became a Republic, and later Texans voted to join the USA. It was not stolen from Mexico.

Juan: That is a Gringo lie. Texas was stolen. So was California, New Mexico and Arizona. It is just like all the other stuff you Gringos steal, like oil and babies. You are a country of thieves.

IS This a satire interview?

[Liz]

Sounds like it doesn’t it?

[RockinRight]

Hunter a big wall?

Puuuulleeze. More like a volleyball net.

[pissant]

Uh huh. Who scuttled the Dubai Ports deal? Who got the 854 mile border fence bill passed w/o any cosponsors? Who forced a vote last summer on Murtha’s cut and run bill? Who threw the monkey wrench into the mexican truckers having free reign on our roads? Who got all satellite technology banned from sales to China? Who saved missile defense programs during Clinton’s terms? Who forced Clinton Admin to get the border fence built in CA? Who saved the Mt Soledad War Memorial cross from the ACLU? Who forced the Air Force to rescind there “no Jesus” prayer policy? It goes on and on.

Just a patsy.
