Senate Votes to Include Amnesty for Felons
News By Us ^ | Jun 07, 07 | Sher Zieve

Posted on 06/07/2007 7:26:29 AM PDT by GFritsch

Proving once again that US Senators do not care a whit for the American voters who elected them (senators who also appear to be suffering from some terminal stupidity virus), this less than august body voted Wednesday to allow the proposed “Z-Visa” to also be disseminated to illegal immigrants who have been convicted of terrorist and criminal acts.

The Democrat-run Senate voted down Sen. John Cornyn’s (R-TX) amendment to the Amnesty Bill that would have excluded illegals who have been convicted of criminal acts, including gang activity. If passed, the Illegal Immigrant Amnesty Bill will now permit convicted felons and terrorists to remain in the USA legally and indefinitely. President of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) Dan Stein stated: “The defeat of this amendment demonstrates just how determined the Senate leadership is to pass a massive illegal alien amnesty. They will let nothing upset their delicate compromise between all of the special interests that are seeking new benefits from the immigration system. Their determination to satisfy the desires of the illegal alien and the cheap labor lobbies is so fierce that they are not even willing to prevent terrorists and criminals from gaining legal status.”

Stein also observed: “American citizens are sitting in prison for having committed some of the same offenses that are not only being overlooked for illegal aliens, but actually allow them to be rewarded with the right to remain in this country legally!” Via the passage by the Senate of the Illegal Alien Amnesty Bill—headed by Senators Ted Kennedy (D-MA), John McCain (RINO-AZ) and Charles Schumer (D-NY)—to replace current US citizens (both native and naturalized) with their new-and-improved illegal alien voting bloc, members of Congress will have effectively executed a, currently, bloodless coup d’etat against the citizenry of the United States of America. We now have a US Congress that is overt and shameless in its actively working to circumvent—if not overthrow—the will of we-the-people. The Boston Tea Party, which is considered to be the catalyst for the revolution leading to American independence from Great Britain, was affected under far less tyrannical actions than are now being waged by Congress against the American people. How long Congress’ current coup against US citizens will remain bloodless is a matter of speculation.

Instead of following the immigration laws already on the books, the US Congress wants to pass new laws that will both weaken existing US laws—that are no longer being upheld—and the sovereignty of the USA. This Amnesty Bill rewards those who have entered the USA illegally and slaps legal citizens in the face. Question to parents: What happens when you reward one child for bad behavior and punish another for exhibiting good behavior? The answer is an obvious one. As the good child will now join the actions of his badly-behaving sibling—in order to gain rewards from the parent—said parent will have raised two criminals. And in the case of the illegals, US citizens are being forced to pay for the invaders, their families and all of their friends.

If this bill is shoved down the throats of the majority of the American people, despite our protestations, all invaders will be welcome to steal and pillage within the borders of the United States. Gangs will be invited to take over cities and towns within those now non-existent borders. I am reminded of how the country looked and was portrayed in the movie Blade Runner. It was not a pretty picture. But with the current crop of pro-illegals and anti-US citizens senators and congress people, as well as an open-borders POTUS, we-the-people are being assaulted by our own politicians. Can a dictatorial one-party state be in the offing for the USA? It appears that it’s already underway. This is largely what the 2006 midterm elections have wrought and there is nothing “comprehensive” about the proposed comprehensive immigration reform bill. By any other name, it is an Amnesty Bill that praises criminals and their behaviors while debasing those who have chosen to follow the law. Our politicos on both sides of the aisle are telling us in no uncertain terms: “Laws are meant to be broken!”

By the way, have you checked the building of the border fence recently? It isn’t really being built. And if the politicians have their way, it never will be.

Our government is disfunctional and proving itself dangerous to the health and well-being of the citizens of the USA.

These rats who vote for crap like this are traitorous sub-human debris who deserve to be sent home in chains.

Spirits among conservative critics of the immigration bill have brightened today following several Senate votes that indicate at least 40 senators could block the bill during a cloture vote tomorrow.
 

"Well-placed sources tell me that activists are focusing their attention on the following list of senators:"

Sam Brownback (R.-Kan.), -
Richard Burr (R.-N.C.),
Saxby Chambliss (R.-Ga.),
Larry Craig (R.-Idaho),
Pete Domenici (R.- N.M.),
Byron Dorgan (D.-N.D.),
John Ensign (R.-Nev.),
Mike Enzi (R.-Wyo.),
Judd Gregg (R.-N.H.),
Johnny Isakson (R.-Ga.),
Jon Kyl (R.-Ariz.),
Mary Landrieu (D.-La.),
Trent Lott (R.-Miss.),
Mitch McConnell (R.-Ky.),
Claire McCaskill (D.-Mo.),
Ben Nelson (D.-Neb.),
Mark Pryor (D.-Ark.),
Debbie Stabenow (D.-Mich.),
John Sununu (R.- N.H.),
Jon Tester (D.-Mont.),
George Voinovich (R.-Ohio),
Jim Webb (D.-Va.),
John Warner (R.-Va.).

 
These individuals are apparently still non-committal about how they will vote on the final bill or could be swayed depending on votes either for or against amendments to the bill.

The second photo should be downloaded and placed beside the one of the twin towers getting muslimed on 9/11. This cast of characters are America haters to the extent they will degrade this nation until it’s down there in Third World Status. They should be caned, chained and marched off to ignominious obscurity.

Michael Steele was on local radio this morning. Today GOPAC begins a blitz campaign to try to sink this bill. It has an online petition form here:

One of the problems with online petitions such as this one is that I think it's been around for awhile and I expect lots of people sign similar efforts multiple times.

Final nail in the coffin.

I wonder how long everything’s going to last. Once the foundation has been cut out from underneath, how long will the edifice take to topple?

I have this horrible gut feeling kind of like when I used to be an anarchist/leftist (before the age of 20, that was almost 40 years ago).

What the hell is going on with our country? Are these ***holes bribed, blackmailed, or just plain unadulterated evil? Do they get like that after they’re elected? Is it the air or water in DC? Or were they just plain evil already?

Google search for an article called “Why Bad Men Rule” by Professor Hoppe. The article explains that, in a Democracy, the most skilled demagogues bribe and fool people into voting for them . . . . with the result that unprincipled psychopaths get elected to office” Think Bill Clinton and Teddy Kennedy as examples proving this principle.

Many of those RINO’s and Dems also want to pull out of Iraq and have us lose the WOT. They are traitors round and round.

Either with large bundles of bills, and/or they have been made aware that other people have incriminating photos.

Psychopaths is right. Worse than your ordinary criminal. I’m starting to think that monarchy might not be so bad.

members of Congress will have effectively executed a, currently, bloodless coup d’etat against the citizenry of the United States of America.

Writer hits nail on head.

I hope they are all feeling that oh-so-uncomfortable heat on the back of their necks right now. May these CongressLowlifes have many sleepless nights in their future.

Maybe the Rat part of the Senate, hearing the increasing chorus of boos and hisses, let the bill get poisoned this way on purpose. That a felon’s (if not misdemeanant’s) visa should be voided is a no brainer.

In my opinion, many are part of a conspiracy wanting the cause the demise of the USA. It's as though they are in league with satan where in exchange for what they consider 'glory' they have surrendered their souls.

They are anti-American and believe that by driving this nation down into the mire with ruined nations like Mexico they will achieve even greater status in a 'united North America.'

Hopefully the citizens will get their pitchforks and torches and drive them into the Potomac.
