The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the biggest U.S. business group, and the AFL-CIO, the largest labor federation, reached an elusive agreement on a guest-worker program late last month, clearing the way for the writing of a full bill.

The legislation will include an earned pathway to U.S. citizenship for an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants, bolstered border security and ways for business to meet the need for both high-skilled and low-skilled workers. …

As long as they don’t enforce the laws we are already done. Look at California. I really think we are doomed either way. Pass it It will be immediate. Don’t pass it we just continue a slow spiral into California.

We should enforce the IRS code to the same extent we enforce immigration laws.

That gang of 8 will go down in history as traitors to many.

People will be furious if this is a path to citizenship because it will be only amnesty. It would be a slap in the face to our ancestors who came in by the legal steps to make this country what it is. The border will not have a fence and border patrol will not be updated. They just lie to us. The republic will never be the same. Many places I go to here in Florida, the workers in many stores do not speak English nor seem to even care to learn it. I was in NC last week, I ran into the same thing while there.

Critter logic: “We’ve passed a bunch of immigration law that foreigners ignore, so now let’s pass some gun laws that most Americans will ignore.”

“We can always give Americans amnesty! But those gun laws—ignoring, uh, encouraging bad behavior by doing nothing only causes more bad behavior.”

“Just a second, let me be clear—make no mistake about it.
We have to pass these, um, comprehensive laws so we can see what’s in them. Yeah, that’s the ticket.”

Tzimisce~:” What happened to this country? :( “

We have no soverignty
We have no secure borders
We have no equal adminsitration of justice
We have no Commander-in-Chief , just a Fuhrer
