“This is a conservative bill. What people haven’t appreciated fully yet... Kyl won some big concessions on this for some areas of real concern,” Flake told the Tribune.

This amnesty bill is crap! Apparently Kyl and Jeff Flake believe if you add a bit of sugar to a pile of crap it becomes table food.

Secure the borders first, for all the world to see.
After proving they're serious about border security for a year or two, only then do we start talking about guest worker plans, amnesty and citizenship.

No they do. Especially if it provides them with foodstamps, welfare and other “free stuff”.

>> Somewhere I read that Kyl stated in a few years people will forget about it and vote GOP again as if nothing happened. It’s just incredible arrogance from these sellouts. <<

Having been on FR during Monicagate and remembering the legions of freepers who vowed to "never again" vote for anyone who opposed Clinton's impeachment, I wouldn't be surprised if Kyl's prediction was accurate.

Congressman Peter King was the no. #1 Clinton defender in the GOP back in 1999. He has never apologized for his actions or said he was wrong. See if you hear about any "primary challengers" to him lately. Better yet, go on any contemporary thread about Peter King and see how many freepers even diss the guy.

Even if Kyl is right, and this time I don’t believe he is long-term the democrats will dominate politics because the amnestied are going to vote for them in large numbers. Texas, Florida, and Arizona will become permanently blue just as NY and California already are.

Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., defended Kyl, one of the chief architects of the immigration reform package, as a conservative Republican.

“This is a conservative bill. What people haven’t appreciated fully yet — and I think they will when they step back and actually see the language — is that Kyl won some big concessions on this for some areas of real concern,” Flake told the Tribune

Flake, once again, lives up to his name.
