Just before Independence Day, a new breed of patriots defeat the Immigration Reform Bill.

History was made June 28, 2007. History that has its roots in the 18th century Colonies of the United States of America. The colonists of that time disagreed with the policies of its present government – Great Britain. They felt what the government was doing was unfair and needed to be stopped. When all else failed, the colonists eventually resorted to taking up arms against its government.

Very worthwhile article. The big surprise at the end was to find out the writer was only 18 years old.

Well, she's also a junior in college. Could have something to do with being home-schooled, I suppose.

Tender age of 18 and a junior in college?

I feel small and insignificant (no pun on my height).

There is hope for our future with bright young adults such as this.

I wish we had ten thousand times ten thousand students like this. The fact she was home schooled says it all.

“A minority of senators lost that day, yet the American people won, along with the ideals of representation and self-government that originated in the era of the American Revolution.”

WE MUST NOT BE COMPLACENT. The people who pushed this bill are ultimately winning anyway. Surreptitiously. A President and a Congressful of pandering internationalist elitists will CONTINUE to permit our borders to be eroded and more illegals to pour in here. The failure of the bill means they must continue to do this, as they have in past - illegally, but continue they will.

The NEXT step in our little REVOLUTION must be forcing the Administration and the Congress to do its duty, enforce our border laws, rescind Juridical and Administrative mandates that require provision of schooling, etc, to illegals, PUNISH severely those companies who persist in employing them and cut off all Federal aid to ANY jurisdiction which refuses to totally cooperate in enforcing our border laws.

Unless this is done, THEY - ultimately - have won.

Hillary Clinton and a crowd of Republican and Democrat Congresscritters compose the “India-America Caucus”. At the behest of Indian companies and certain elements of the Indian community, they seek to expand the use of employment visas. These visas are a significant contributory factor in the creation of the illegal problem. The Federal government has been ineffective in following up on expired visas and expelling illegals created by this system. They do not merit the right to expand this program. On the contrary, it should be curtailed.

The fact that the ethnic Indian community is one of the most affluent ethnically identifiable communities in America explains the avidity with these political prostitutes pursue this goal. The nexus between political campaign contributions from groups like the latter, and even more, the globalist corporate interests which most directly benefit from the liquefaction of our borders speaks volumes of the sale of America to the highest bidder.

Yet McCain-Feingold is an inherently flawed bill, one which increases the limitations on qualified candidates while giving undue advantage to political idiots with big bucks like the current governor of New Jersey.

No, the solution to THIS little problem is for each candidate for office to list their assets and those of their wives and children immediately before campaigning for office, and immediately after leaving office or seeking re-election. Then a close public scrutiny should be made of any large contributions from special interest groups and a pattern of voting for bills which benefit those interests.

Failure on our part to continue with this momentum will result in the House of Lords attempting to institute the Fairness Doctrine, and to allow business as usual on our southern borders. The light of public scrutiny and outrage must be continued and expanded. Amerca must not be put up for sale to the highest bidder like the cheapest of strumpets.

Keep our REVOLUTION going!!!!

I want to say here that I was never prouder to be an American than I was on June 28. I was at home and unable to access the computer (SHARING WITH VISITING FAMILY!!!!) in order to thank every FReeper who fought this, and particularly the FReepers who kept on posting all the fax and phone numbers and the names of the guilty senators. Only in America, like the feller says.

I guess you are one of those FReepers I wanted to thank for y’all’s tireless efforts on behalf of the defeat of the amnesty bill: thank you so much for keeping on keeping on. Some clown on CNN (my husband turns it on, NOT I!!) last evening said that by the time of the election in 2008 that the amnesty bill will have been forgotten. He said this in some reference to McCain’s floundering campaign. That clown was so wrong; he has evidently had very little experience with deep, hard anger.

I emailed/faxed/phoned AND personally visited my Senators in Washington (I live in Florida) for two solid weeks during this debate. I was so proud to be an American when this bill went down. The people have spoken! The system worked, however, we need to remain ever vigilant that this horrible legislation is never brought to the light of day again.
