Why would they choose to hand over our American rights, to 12 million illegal immigrants, that are doing nothing but committing crimes, ruining neighborhoods, taking jobs, and stealing government and American benefits? Because, as congressman Steve King (R-Iowa) said yesterday, "they love power more than they love their own children and grandchildren."

This is simple to me. They don’t like the way the average American was voting, so now they will just bring in new people, who (out of gratitude, of course) will vote exactly the way they want them to.

In 1898 the supreme court ruled that income taxes were un-Constitutional so the government set about adding an amendment which they did.
From that point on this country has gone to foreign wars, given up its power and prisoned its own people.

I will once again attribute many of opur problems to the 17th Amendment. Once again, the need for our Senators to rely on, and constantly campaign for popular election/re-election means that they pander to the masses as a glorified house of representatives instead of advocating for the interests of their respective states as our founders had intended.

And how many of “ordinary means” are elected only to retire multimillionaires. Too many to count.

It got really bad in 1913, when both the Income Tax and the Federal Reserve System were created.

Just as the left has a tendency to blame Bush for all things that go wrong, I'll admit to using the 17th as my personal scapegoat and whipping boy.
I think I'm probably closer to the mark in most cases.

IMO. The greatest downfall was when Wilson signed the Federal Reserve system into law—he gave away the country to big money and apologized for it when he left office. The sell-out is cumulative in my opinion and has been accomplished by both parties. I believe it became most obvious to us idiots during the Clinton fiasco and technology that opened the door wide on the dirty tricks against the American people. Sunshine has exposed their long held power but it took so long for technology that we are way behind the eightball.

Can we truly do something, maybe block this bill from being passed? Because, you know its going to pass.

Well, it’s a time-honored tradition. Look at the politicians we have now, and how they come into government with average incomes and leave millionaires.
