There is big money behind this push! SEIU, LaRaza, the DNC, McCain and the Kennedy wing of the GOP. Regarding the article, there are 50,000 illegal alien Irish here...they need to go home with the rest of the squatters.
The bill in the house is CIR/ASAP. One thing it will do is prevent the national guard from ever being deployed along the southern border, no matter what happens in Mexico. And it just gets worse.
The Senate will come up with something equally as offensive IF John McCain is allowed to stay in his seat!
GO J.D. Hayworth!
Obama says a lot of things, doesn’t mean it will happen.
VIDEO: SEIU Official Says Reforming Immigration Could Add 8 Million Democratic Votes
“We will be creating a governing coalition for the long term, not just for an election cycle.”

At the America’s Future Now! conference in Washington, DC on June 2, 2009, SEIU International Executive Vice President Eliseo Medina addressed attendees on why comprehensive immigration reform is an important issue for the progressive community to support, and how progressives can forge common ground on an immigration reform strategy.
“comprehensive immigration reform “= “amnesty for illegal aliens”
Report: More than half of foreign-born Nebraska residents aren’t citizens
A new report says 67 percent of Nebraska’s foreign-born residents are not U.S. citizens.
A report from the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Office of Latino/Latin American Studies says that’s more than 65,600 people. The report doesn’t delve into how many of those are in the country illegally.
In analyzing data gathered by the U.S. Census Bureau, the report says naturalization rates have been increasing since the mid-1990s. More than 27 percent of all Nebraska’s naturalized citizens counted in the 2008 American Community Survey became citizens in a period from 2001 to 2005. To compare, about 8 percent became citizens in the early 1990s.
In 2008, nearly 98,000 Nebraskans were counted as foreign born, or about 5.5 percent of the state’s population.

Arizona taxpayers owed $1 billion from illegal immigration
http://www.kvoa.com/news/arizona-taxpayers-owed-1-billion-from-illegal-immigration/
The cost of illegal immigration has exhausted the Arizona State Treasury. In order to pay for the federal government’s responsibility of securing our national borders and incarcerating individuals who enter the United States illegally and commit crimes, the state has incurred hundreds of millions of dollars of debt to pay these bills,” said Treasurer Dean Martin.
An overlooked McCain boondoggle....much like the nonsense that will come out of the senate.
Bill to improve health care in Mexico! McCain strikes again!
What would Americans think, then, of a member of Congress who introduced legislation, not to improve health care in the United States, but to improve health care in Mexico?
Insane? Drunk? Unworthy of public office?
What would Americans think, then, of a bill introduced in Congress that required federal agencies to come up with a plan, not to expand health coverage in the United States, but to expand health coverage in Mexico?
Impossible? Unthinkable? Wildly irresponsible?
What would Americans think, then, of the motives of a senator, who not only introduced a bill to improve Mexicos health care system and extend coverage to a growing population of 120 million people, but gave health insurance companies the right to help devise the plan?
Blatantly corrupt? Grossly indifferent to the well-being of the American people? Downright treasonous?
Unbelievable as it may seem, the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act of 2005 contained a provision giving insurance companies the right to help devise a plan for extending US health care to Mexico (Sec. 1004. BINATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE AND HEALTH INSURANCE).
Even more unbelievable, the senator who sponsored the bill is not on the verge of being thrown out of office for this odious piece of legislation. No, the senator who introduced the bill, Senator John McCain of Arizona, is on the verge of locking up the Republican nomination to be our next president[snip]

Voters won’t support you?
