Excellent commentary.

Yawn. Every attempt at immigration reform is called amnesty...this is getting really boring.

Thanks for posting the entire article.

Hard to believe President Bush is selling his country down the river.

Fortunately for him, he is at the top of the food chain and thus the results of his actions will never affect him directly.

To reward lawbreakers with the gift of amnesty would only encourage further law breaking and is patently unfair to those immigrants striving to live here legally.

Right. Just like giving first time druggies probation encourages everybody to go out and become addicts.

And is an offense to those who try to stay straight.

These arguments are so worn out.

Another disturbing feature of the plan is its jaw-dropping cost. Policy researchers with The Heritage Foundation and, according to news reports, the Center for Immigration Studies, estimate the cost to legalize millions of low-skilled illegal immigrants at about $2.5 trillion.

What's the cost to build a wall, deport every last one of them, and have them GET IN LINE?

One might think so, though with the sense of entitlement we've come to know so well, illegal immigrants interviewed by Associated Press reporters this week said they find the bill's key provisions too pricey, too inconvenient and not at all to their liking. How's that for gratitude?

I heard a guy from some Chicano organization who was complaining about this legislation. He said "they want amnesty with no strings attached, so that Mexicans can get all the benefits they're entitled to." Can you believe that? What nerve!

IF I could have dragged that idiot through the TV screen, I would have strangled him. They want welfare, food stamps and free medical/dental care. Riiiiight....don't we all.

Imagine: Free Republic was championing some of those responsible for this bill, and the one who will sign it, just a few scant years ago.

Never again.

GOP hypocrisy: Few said "it's not practical" to remove two tyrannical regimes and attempt to create democracies in the Middle East, yet many say "it's not practical" to remove 12M non-American lawbreakers in our own country??

DNC hypocrisy: Many talk of the billion$ spent daily in Iraq, yet few talk of the billion$ to be spent daily in the U.S. by allowing 12M non-Americans the right to live and work here under our laws??

Ingratitude is hard to take. Amnesty strongly motivates more illegal immigration.

Well, we ain’t gonna let then get away with their Orwellian naming schemes. It’s Officially the McCain Kennedy Suicide-Amnesty pact.

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!

/BAH!

$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.
