Ted Kennedy is too lazy to write anything like legislation..
Who are his aids?... What are their agendas?..

What about the illegals that come in after 1-1-07? What are we going to do about them? I am not convinced we can effectively seal the border. It appears to me we are going to be facing the same problem 5 to 10 years from now with millions of new illegals here not covered by this bill. Are we going to deport them? Very doubtful.

Patronage is the coin of the realm in machine politics.

For starters, Michael Barone is a pro-amnesty pundit and can’t be trusted to act in America’s best interests on this issue.

The key here is the involvement of Ted Kennedy in the last two immigration reforms and his involvement in todays Senate fiasco. Kennedy was the Senate floor manager back in 1965 when the Immigration Reform Act was passed into law. Later, Fat Ted was the driving force behind the gutting of Reagan’s enforcement provisions in the IRCA of 1986. Both were actions of America’s preeminent liberal socialist.

Anyone who thinks this current liberal immigration proposal will turn out any better then the reforms of 1965 and 1986, are fools of the first order.

“Pollster Scott Rasmussen reports that voters aren’t dead set against legalizing current illegals. But they must be convinced first that this time, border security is for real”

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

What is right...what is wrong with that atatement?

While it is true that Sennator Ted Kennedy and Senator Lindsey Graham amd Senator John McClain and a few other Amwericans are “voters (who) aren’t dead set against legalizing current illegals”, there are about 200,000,000 American citizen tax-payers who ARE dead set against legalizing current (and future) illegal aliens....

About convincing the 200,000,000 American citizen tax-payers that “border security is for real” (whatever THAT is suppose to mean), why are the borders not closed to illegal aliens anyway...whether or not the illegal aliens are granted AMNESTY...

Hey you never know...Maybe the 200,000,000 American citizen tax-payers will think that national and border security is important to the members of the Senate and the House...and that illegal aliens will finally be treated as such...illegal...

It won’t be done right. Business with Canada is being held up, because Christians and Jews are being detained in lines of 200-300 cars at the Canadian border checkpoints. ...just to avoid “profiling.” Most of the people in Canada by far are people of our own language and culture, therefore they are less expensive to live and work with. Canada has a pro-American government and is already our main trading partner for obvious reasons. Neighbors on both sides of our northern border have traditionally driven back and forth freely on small roads for visits, shopping and other common reasons.

Meanwhile, Canada has 50,000-120,000 illegals, while we have 12,000,000 or so. Do some math. Assume Canada has 100,000 illegals, and we have 12,000,000. We have 120 times more illegals but less than 10 times the population.

Such political correctness in equating Canada with Mexico is probably stifling efforts for security along the Mexican border.

Kill the bill and enforce current laws.

As the Senate is mulling the details of a compromise immigration bill hammered together by the odd couple of Sens. Edward Kennedy and Jon Kyl, and as members of Congress hear from their constituents over the Memorial Day recess, it may be worthwhile to put the issue in historical context.

It's getting a little tiring to hear that this is an odd couple working together in a bipartisan way. That is such bunk. Kyl sold out for cheap labor so it makes no difference who the legislation is put together with and there's nothing bipartisan about it. If the GOP didn't support what Kennedy wants it wouldn't pass, period. People are not going to forget who's responsible for this shamnesty and that party begins with an R.

Get Immigration Right

1. ENFORCE the laws already on the books
2. Deport 1,000 Illegal Immigrants a week; put their names, photos
and fingerprints on the Web.
3. Secure the southern border.
4. Prominently display on the Web the deportation and seizure of
ill-gotten assets of all deported immigrants (Mexican, Latino/Hispanic
and the riff-raff that getts here from all other points of the globe
(Muslim terrorists sympthizers, Irish terrorists, law-breaking Canadians
and the like).

I’m sending letters to all Senators. Started with Akaka and I’ve made it to Isakson. I’m working from:

http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

Sometimes I have to click their webform address more than once. Their auto-fill form usually works. I tab through it to double-check. A few times, I submitted my input and it would hang-up or tell me where to get their address. So I started over.

My advice is to write one letter suitable for all Senators. I think it’s best to keep a calm and respectful demeanor. I can hope that they will evaluate comments. But I’m more confident that they will add it to the talley of those opposed to the bill.

The Kennedy-Kyl bill is built on the assumption that the federal government can effectively channel the flow of immigration.

Barone is an idiot like most of the other FNC contributors if he believes that is a foundation of the bill. The bill does not try to stop anything, it is an attempt to convert present entitlement sucking illegals into legals, on the premise what is good for the social welfare state is good for the country, and if not the country at least their own political self-interests. Gubmint money is power, and this will allow our two party criminal class in D C to take more money from the people and to allocate a small portion of it to those whose votes can be bought very cheaply. It is about political power in the 21st century, and if you are patriotic, work hard, and play by the rules kind of American,then the clowns to the left of you and the jokers to the right of you are dumping on you big time, not to mention the self-important dufus who wrote this article.

I think that may be my fault!

I cut both to about 35-38 colors from 200-256 colors to lower filesizes and speed up loading
