After pathway, look for the fence to be struck down, superhighway begun www.spp.gov and for a borderless America. This treaty was crafted between Mexico and the U.S. without the approval of Congress.
This is one of the most serious issues of our time and at Free Republic.
Lurkers, call, call, call. Media, stop covering the humpback whales and Rosie O' Donnell and COVER THIS.

I miss Ed Gillespie as RNC chair.
he was only one of us to get our votes. it was a ruse and posting about w isn’t even worth using caps.
Amnesty hotline!
What a waste. This decision is to be made by those footing the bill (taxpayers), not anyone with access to a phone and fingers to dial.
Idiots.
bush is a Methodist. Maybe they’re sticking with their guy.
The legal immigrant health care workers are fine but they went through the system.
I won't even go to Taco Bell any more over this hijacking of our national sovereignty.
Thanks for the ping bump.
The House needs to be contacted about these calls to the Senate. They are going to be next to receive non-constituent calls. It is a ruse. They are pretending to be Americans. We ARE AMERICANS!
Who owns Telemundo TV? Anyone know?
This LIVE link goes directly to the Senators FOR WHATEVER AREA CODE you are calling from.
I tried it from Louisville using the local 502 area code number = got to a LIVE staff rep at Kentucky’s Senator’s (McConnell) office one the FIRST RING.
I tried it from Louisville using my 770 area code cell phone number = got to a LIVE staff rep at GA’s Senator’s Isakson office on the FIRST RING pushing 1, then 2 at the Spanish recording. No recording, no wait, no dial tone, no recorder or voice mail.
I tried it from Louisville using my 770 area code cell phone number = got to a LIVE staff rep at GA’s Senator’s Chambliss office on the FIRST RING (that’s when you push 1, then 1.) Same thing: No recording, no wait, no dial tone, no recorder or voice mail. A LIVE OPERATOR ANSWERS THE MEXICANS ON A TOLL-FREE LINE.
An overloaded voice mail box answers the Americans using (trying to use!) the taxpayer’s (for-pay) commercial number.

The ruling elite have sold our country and voting only legitimatizes political corruption.
What do we do now?
"It looks like Slim plans to roll over his equity as part of the buyout, but wants to get in at the pre-sale price," said one analyst. Slim purchased 8.5 million Univision shares between March 9 and March 20 for an average price of $33.83 a share, according to a regulatory filing yesterday. The family now controls about 2.8 percent of Univision's outstanding shares through its real estate company, Inmobiliaria Carso.
Carlos Slim's son sits on the board of Mexican company Grupo Televisa SA, which owns nearly 11 percent of Univision and has a lucrative broadcasting agreement with Univision. Grupo Televisa said in a filing yesterday that it is evaluating "alternatives" with respect to Univision and specifically said that it is not acting in partnership with the Slim family.
Several private equity firms and other investment groups are trying to structure a deal that allows Televisa to acquire Univision without regulatory problems, sources said. Foreign companies can own only 25 percent of U.S.-based broadcasters, and Televisa together with the Cisneros family, which controls Venezuela's biggest broadcaster, Venevision, own nearly that much of Univision.

SLIM'S PICKIN' GIANT BIG BET ON UNIVISION By ZACHERY KOUWE
NY POST April, 29, 2006 http://www.nypost.com/photos/bizlead04292006.jpg
Carlos Slim Helu, world's third richest man, and father of Mexican telecom honcho Carlos Slim Jr. Photo: AP April 29, 2006 -- Mexican telecom honcho Carlos Slim Jr. - son of the world's third richest man - has made a bet on Hispanic broadcasting giant Univision that could quickly turn into a $60 million windfall. Investors and others have been scratching their heads since Slim, 38, disclosed about a week ago that he had scooped up 8.5 million shares of Univision for about $33.83 a share, or $288 million.
On Thursday, the pension fund of Mexican phone giant and Slim family company Telefonos de Mexico SA, or Telmex, disclosed that it purchased 3 million shares of Univision for about $33.88 a share, or $102 million. The Slim family, whose fortune is estimated to be $30 billion, is jumping into a dynamic situation with Univision, as American media giants look for a foothold in the fast-growing Spanish-language broadcasting business. Univision stock closed yesterday at $35.71 - giving Slim's investments a $21 million paper profit already. "Slim either believes there will be a bidding war for Univision that will push up the stock price or he wants to own part of the company for the long term and wants to get in on the cheap," said one analyst.
Univision's board is hoping to get as much as $41 a share for the company, which would value it at roughly $14 billion including debt, according to sources close to the process. If it goes for that much, Slim would pocket about $60 million in profit and Telmex's pension fund would bank another $21 million or so. Big wagers are nothing new to the Slim family. Slim's father, Carlos Slim Helu, made nearly $1 billion buying the debt of bankrupt WorldCom, which was bought by Verizon after a prolonged bidding war with rival Qwest Communications last year. Slim's bet on Univision has infuriated Mexican broadcaster Grupo Televisa SA, according to sources.
Slim is a member of Televisa's board of directors, which decided last week to pursue a takeover of Univision along with several private equity firms. Televisa yesterday said that Slim has removed himself from any discussions involving a takeover of Univision. "He did not participate because of that conflict of interest in any further discussions or decisions," Televisa's Executive Vice-President Alfonso de Angoitia said in a conference call. Televisa has been in discussions with a group of private equity firms including Bain Capital, Providence Equity Partners, and Madison Dearborn Partners about potentially acquiring Univision in a deal that would give Televisa just under 25 percent of the Hispanic television giant. zachery.kouwe@nypost.com

There is SPANISH line???? Good grief.
Mailbox is full! NOt to worry, I’ll be calling back on Tuesday!
That's true, and I'll never forgive his weasel brother for not standing up to those punks in Clearwater and rescuing Terri.
Talk about pathetic.
WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!
Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them.
I am not telling anyone what to do, but I refuse to tithe to the Church. My parish openly brags on how they shelter undocumented workers. There are other forms of tithing that I know go to making a difference.
You hear some gibberish, a hispanic sounds woman tells you “support immigration reform now” ... and then it connects to your senator’s office, which you can talk directly to.
It works.
