A hero of last night, Sen. John Cornyn, is coming up on Laura's show to discuss the defeat of the support the illegal invasion of America bill. Listen and comment.
ONLINE: listen through Laura's website...... or www.krla870.com
Is this a pay only to listen?
Not worth 50 bucks to me.
You can go here: www.krla870.com
Go to google. You can find radio stations that are free that carry the show. You don’t have to pay.
“Congress was not listening”
Cornyn is a class act.
Very, very smart —— possibly too smart because he can see the other side too well sometimes (comes from being a longtime judge) -— terrible on the campaign trail because he’s too intellectual/dry.
That said, he repeatedly makes me pleased as a conservative Texan.

I put up the other site that is free to which I listen — www.krla870.com
I thought originally Cornyn supported amnesty. But to his credit he heard from his constituents, and he recognized that regardless of what his personal beliefs may be, he is in Washington DC to represent them.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Laura asks if Kennedy had told him to blank off. Cornyn laughs. Well, those are words I’ve heard before, but didn’t expect to hear them in the Senate.
Cornyn told him he was out of line. Kennedy said don’t tell me I’m out of line. Then Cornyn said it again.
He put up the amendment about deporting criminals. Of course, it did not pass.
I just loaded up the radio to hear Laura say at the end of the interview, “Thanks”
Is anyone able to give me a synopsis of what they said?
Senator Cornyn will be on Laura’s show in July?
I thought it was McCain?
Cornyn is my senator. I wrote him, and I called & called. This is the email I received.
Dear Mrs. XXXXXXX:
Thank you for contacting me about immigration reform. The need to fix our broken system is clear, and I appreciate having the benefit of your insight on one of the most important issues of our day.
Immigration reform ultimately must be about improving our system for legal immigration, not about creating new benefits for illegal aliens. Although we are a proud nation of immigrants, we are also a nation of laws. If policymakers will agree that all immigrants must abide by the rule of law, then we can reach a consensus on ways to improve the legal process so that it meets the needs of our society, our economy and our national security.
Recently, the Senate began to debate S. 1348, a comprehensive immigration reform bill. It is encouraging that the Senate is taking up this important matter and attempting to address the problems that plague our immigration system. However, I have serious concerns that the legislation, as drafted, will repeat the well documented mistakes of the 1986 amnesty bill. Further, if we fail to address the rampant fraud and fail to close all loopholes in our current broken system, then we will fail to truly reform our system.
I have been working throughout my time in the Senate to develop a solution to this problem that I believe will work. I would invite you to visit my website at http://www.cornyn.senate.gov/immigration to acquaint yourself with the immigration reforms I support. As we consider this bill in the Senate and beyond, I will continue to promote these policies, but I will oppose any bill that rewards illegal conduct and encourages further disrespect for our laws.
I appreciate the opportunity to represent the interests of Texans in the United States Senate. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.
Sincerely,
JOHN CORNYN
United States Senator
It WAS McCain who dropped the “f” bomb, according the Cornyn.
Better than that, his amendment was critical in the defeat of the bill.
