Here’s an idea, how about the senators working to do what their constituents voted them into office to do.

Key Republican and Democratic senators are reaching for a deal to resurrect their stalled immigration compromise by requiring that some $4 billion be spent on border security and workplace enforcement.

Sons of b*tches, every one.

They are going to Penn&Teller us with a lot of smoke & mirrors, mis-direction.

Then when our attention is elswhere, Viola, the Amnesty Bill has already passed. Then a quick adjourment and the whole Senate is out for the 4th before we know what happened.

I say again “WE DON’T NEED NEW LAWS”.....enforce the ones we have. These guys are just playing politics and our people will suffer for it.

How many billions have been spent since the failed 1986 bill, and our borders are not secure? We already have seen the 700 mile fence shrink to 300 miles since last year’s Senate bill was passed. Is Kay Bailey Hutchison’s bill going to deport families whose heads do not return to their homelands? Of course not. Trent Lott has already assured his Mississippi farmers and chicken plants that all enforcement amendments will be stripped out of the bill in conference, so this enforcement sham means absolutely nothing.
Keep the heat on your Republican senators. Don’t allow them to think you are fooled by their rhetoric.

I can’t imagine this bill doing anything claimed for it:

1. Illegals will be come legal upon signing. They will, just, not have applied yet or for that matter crossed the border.

2. There will no longer be cheap labor, they have all rights to minimum wage, etc.

3. There will be no border security, what’s the point.

4. I don’t, necessarily, accept the notion the the illegals will vote Bolshecrat, to be that dumb you have to be an American lib.

Do you want to fax a Senator to let them know you are against the Immigration Bill? Three steps, takes less than a minute, for free and you don't even need to get up from your computer.

1. Don't know who to fax? Here is a list of GOP Senators being targeted by the pro-amnesty crowd to flip.

2. Need a fax number? Go to http://www.grassfire.org/19042/targets.htm (Ignore the prices, you are just after the fax numbers).

3. Fax for free from the Web. Put your message in the text box. Go to http://faxzero.com/

That's it. You're done.

You can also email them from a webform here. This site also has their office phone numbers.

"......reaching for a deal that would require FOUR BILLION $$$$'s be spent on border security and workplace enforcement".

Give me a break. Transparent idiocy and smoke screen.

Four billion of our tax bucks going right down the drain.

$15,000,000,000 for some vague and undefined security measures.

I propose using the money to just pay illegals to leave the country. Give each one $10,000 in cash, collectible at the border on their way out, where they will also provide a photo, fingerprints, and a DNA sample. Maybe even a small tatoo in a hidden spot.

If they come back, and now we know who they are, they get thrown in jail for fraud.

Read this excerpt from yesterday's Washington Times article entitled "Bush Lobbies Senate on Immigration", available at: http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20070613-120635-9285r.htm

One key question is how to go forward even though several amendments have already cut at the grand bargain -- including limiting the guest-worker program and making it easier to deport those who don't qualify for legalization -- and several other difficult amendments could pass before the bill is final.

Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott, Mississippi Republican, said those amendments will simply disappear when the House and Senate go to conference.

"No big deal -- you pitch those before you get to the Rotunda," he said.

and write or call your senators, Rush, Shawn, Laura, EVERYBODY to show them what a scam this bill is and Lott just admitted it.

Reid

This week, we will vote on cloture and final passage of a comprehensive bill that will strengthen border security, bring the 12 million undocumented Americans out of the shadows, and keep our economy strong. In the days ahead, we will work to improve the bill to protect and strengthen family ties while improving the structure of the temporary-worker program.

They want to pass amnesty because they’re afraid if they don’t Fred Barnes might not say nice things about them. This is what we’re up against and the type of warped mentality that apparently rules in Washington today.

They're taking Pepe Le Pew and spritzing him up with perfume. But he's still a skunk. Which is exactly what the amnesty bill is and no amount of surgery will fix it.

All of this is moot. Trent Lott said all of the enforcement provisions were going to be taken out of the bill.

Adding pork to this bill is exactly why the American people abhor the legislative process. STOP SHOWING US THE MONEY AND START SHOWING US THE ENFORCEMENT!!!
