Yawn, huh?

Those of us who are fully awake recognize the obvious. There has been no attempt at immigration reform, only attempts by our government to beguile the idiots into believing that amnesty is imigration reform.

The illegal aliens are a blessing to the home building industry and construction industry, both of which have very strong lobbies in DC and state capitals. The mortgage industry and banking/funding industry rides the coat tails of the building boom - both of which also have strong lobbies in DC and state capitals. The agriculture industry prospers from the aliens along with the agri-chem industries like DuPont and Scott, ADM ect. - all of which have strong lobbies in DC and state capitals.

The fact is that the lobbies are so deep into our senators and congressmen’s pockets that they have been running the country for at least the last decade, if not longer. Bush’s “blind” investments also prosper from allowing the border to remain unprotected and he is as guilty as the rest.

At a time in this nation when all legal citizens from the coolaide liberals on the left to the radical far right can speak with the same joined voices and scream “Shut the borders down !!” it is apparent that our senators and congress have betrayed us in favor of what the lobbys can give them. Our joined voices and votes count for nothing.

There will be a rude reckoning in the future.

announced this week they had managed to set aside partisan politics

Nancy Pelo'clown'ski announced this when she grabbed the freaking gavel!

And the IDIOT Repubs laid their fat butts on the benches.
Now look where we are.

The Cons in Washington are PUNK-COWARDS!

I followed your link: By September, 80,000 had been taken into custody in Texas, and the INS estimates that 500,000-700,000 illegals had left Texas voluntarily.

It's all lies, this can't be true! Bush & Co have told us many times the illegals won't leave on their own!

56% Support Enforcement Only Immigration Approach

Fifty-six percent (56%) of American adults favor an enforcement-only approach to immigration reform. Only 29% are opposed.

However, support falls sharply when “a path to citizenship” for illegal aliens already in the United States is added to the mix. Just 42% support the more “comprehensive” approach while 44% are opposed. This proposal was similar to a “grand bargain” announced by Senator Arlen Specter earlier in the week.

There is little cost. A few raids, some big fines to employers and the jobs dry up. People return to their countries. No millions spent because they self deport.

This new bill will cost 2.5 trillion and effectively ruin the USA. It will result in a civil war with the collapse of the economy.

If it looks like a duck and it walks like a duck adn it qucks like a duck, it’s a duck.

Under this disaster of a bill, those who broke our law and entered our country illegally get to stay legally rather than have to pay for what they did, while those who are trying to come here legally still have to wait in a mountain of delays and red tape.

No matter how you slice it, that’s amnesty. You know it, I know it, and the 60-100 million illegals who will pour in here if this bill is passed know it.

We stopped the Dubai Ports deal; we can stop this.

The phones ahve rung off the hook, the district offices are getting calls, there is a flood of email. We’re being heard. And if they don’t have any other use for us (which they appaerntly don’t), they still need our votes.

But no politician is going to oversee deportation of millions of illegals. It would be political suicide.

No, it wouldn't. That is simply liberal disinformation.

The American people want deportations. We want tough measures (including jail time) for the employers of illegals. Instead, we get amnesty. These politicians hvae committed suicide with this bill.

Your argument is tiresome, decietful and trite.

The amnesty to thousands of illegal aliens, not too many years ago, so encouraged those thinking of criminally invading the USA, that this new amnesty is aimed at 20 million illegal aliens, as well as allowing each of them to legally bring in 25 family members each. This amnesty will make native born American citizens and nationalized legal immigrant citizens, a minority in our own country.

$2.5 trillion total is equal to the sum of the United States entire annual economic output. But let's not quibble about such a pressing concern. It doesn't pay to be "anti-immigrant" in this day and age.

Locate illegals.

Should be easy with a lot of them. There are 9.5 million social Security numbers in teh system that don't match the name. I woudl bet that virtually all of those are illegals.
