So, in other words, they're going to be able to determine where and when and if the fence will be with the money the federal government gives them for the fence.

"Texas officials have protested plans by the Homeland Security Department to erect fencing on parts of the approximately 1,200-mile Texas border with Mexico, saying they were not consulted as they were promised they would be."Don't worry, the fence won't be built.

This is weak.
Of course, “Compromise” always means one of the parties involved is weak.
How about an amendment requiring the building of an entire fence on the border...that way you do not have to pick where it goes?
Duh...
The GOP is dead.

And the corrupt mayors of TX border towns, mostly Mexicans and the children of illegals, will be paid by the drug cartels and coyotes not to let the fence be built through their areas of operation. The fence will be worthless, but expensive.
To: Baladas
as a super voter, the political operative words, this immigration bill is a deal breaker. The democrats are on tv laughing like school girls. Sen “lefty” Specter was smiling like a thief with a not guilty from a jury.
The sham amendment is in the same vein. It is just a way to NOT build the fence. They will put up tissue paper in the middle of nowhere and call it a fence.

with the money the federal government gives them for the fence. Well, actually, the federal government is giving them back their money.

There shouldn’t be a need for a choice. Um, build it on the border - all of it.

Don't worry, the fence won't be built. Not if our two Texas Senators get their way. Cornyn has been carrying the water for Bush all along on amnesty. But at least for Cornyn some of the current provisions are just way too over the top for him but he would be willing to accept it in its current form if would keep it from going down in flames altogether.

If you slip enough enforcement into it, the dims will walk away from it... the bill dies... so many here are short sighted.
This bill and movement must die. NO AMNESTY!

Both Texas senators are under enormous pressure from El Presidente and the cheap labor crowd in the state. If it dies, fine, but it won't be due to a principled stance from the senate or the house.

amnesty am-nes-ty -n 1. a general pardon for offenses against a government
We have been fighting the amnesty bill as if the future of our country depends on our efforts... because it does. As working, voting, law-abiding, thinking Americans, we can only come to one conclusion: the Senate will intentionally ignore the will of the people, and put their own political ambitions ahead of what is good for the United States of America. This agenda is unacceptable, and we have rejected it utterly. Moreover, it constitutes a direct threat to the future of this republic, because it indicates that there are members of the body politic who no longer answer to the will of the people, the Constitution, or even to rational thought itself.
THE REPRESENTATIVES WHO WILL VOTE TO SUPPORT THIS BILL ARE VOTING ANTI-AMERICAN.
Keep the pressure on, because the Senate is hoping this will all just go away if they wait long enough. Write, call, email, and fax your representatives... and DO NOT STOP. If you are unable to reach your Congressional or Senate rep, try the office of El Presidente. Contact your local and state party representatives, and the Republican and Democrat National Committees. Keep building the tidal wave that we need to KILL THIS BILL!

Do they actually need to see rioting in the street before they stop talking about passing this POS and start talking about enforcing EXISTING LAWS
Including WITHDRAWING FEDERAL FUND from any state that allows in-state tuition for ILLEGAL ALIENS
