But, let’s be real... W didn’t do much about it either. NO President, or administration has done much about it, ever.
....
Agree. Well Eisenhower tried an ambitious deportation plan but he was stopped by pictures of people being deported
,,,,,
It’s not possible to PHYSICALLY STOP EVERYONE from entering this country illegally. But, we can make it a LOT harder for them.... then,
......
The israelis have done a very good job of stopping terrorists and illegal emigrants from crossing the sinai desert with their fence. so the job can be done effectively. what they hey. the fence at south of san diego did a good job of pushing illegals east into arizona.

An effective border could be constructed.
....................
But, we can make it a LOT harder for them....,

the problem is that’s not whats on the table. all of the border enforcement provisions are weasel worded “could” “should” “may” “might”.

We’ll have at the border about what we have now.

What do we have now?.
We have more illegals coming over the border because they have heard about the new amnesty bill.

You say but they won’t be granted amnesty (legalization)because they’ll have entered the country too late? You mean, just like the 1986 bill kept more illegals from entering the country. when you read mexicans talk about reagan’s 1986 bill — they talk about it as the USA surrendering.

That’s pretty much what this current bill is. A surrender.

What is on the table in the current bill is a.)legalization leading to citizenship of anyone in the country before two years ago plus no more deportations of anyone not committing any hideously embarrassing crime. b.) no more border controls than are currently being done. c.)set up of the next amnesty program in 20 years or less.

Now here’s the kicker.

Most of the people being given a path citizenship are democrat voters. And not just democrat voters — they are members of a permanent government supported underclass. who in their generation alone will cost the US tax payer 6 trillion dollars. they will vote as solidly democrat as American blacks have since lyndon johnson bought and paid for them with the great society programs back in the 1960’s. oh and those great society programs would not have passed without northern republican votes. hopelessly arrogant and incompetent republicans.

I'm glad to hear you say that, son!

Ok... Ted Cruz convinced me today. This bill is NOT worthy of support.

They just keep voting down EVERY amendment that actually tries to do ANYTHING good..

It's time... to gear up, start calling...Gotta buck up the troops one more time.

Shouldn't be TOO hard to get McConnell on board. This is an election year... when he PRETENDS to be conservative.

Thanks

One of my senators is Cruz. I think he will do the right thing, and I have called his office twice to thank him for his opposition to the bill.

I also called Cornyn to say that I have voted for him as senator in every election, but if he votes for this I will become his political enemy forever.

Cruz on Rush today (2 videos linked on page): "I'm always amused when the NYT writes editorials trying to be helpful to Republicans and says "This is they way Rs can save themselves."

BUMP

I called McConnell’s office.... They say he is “undecided”...

I suggested, he call Sen. Cruz for some insight.

I think... like me, MOST people have not been paying attention to this bill. Too many unknown factors. But, they’re really starting to define it now, with all these amendment votes. People are starting to see it for what it is... AMNESTY, with NO real enforcement.

I was prepared to live with legalization... if REAL security improvements were going to be made... but, clearly... they are NOT.

Kentucky patriots, let McConnell (and Paul too) know where we stand, and the consequences of voting for this !@#$%^&*!

It's not a coincidence they roll these out in the summer.

It's almost as funny as when Karl Rove and Jeb Bush say "This is the way Rs can save themselves."

Yes. Cruz went on to say that the NYT is opposed to what we stand for. Cruz did not say the following, at least today, but by extension, as fellow believers in the NYT's advice on amnesty, an issue whose stakes are life and death for the US political system, Rove and Bush are our enemies. And so are:

Yeah, you just know he's a terrorist! /s

Wasn't there some folks who tossed some tea into the harbor?

” Rove and Bush are our enemies. “

Indeed they are. Unfortunately, Rove is much more powerful than the buffoon, Jeb Bush.
