Not on;y that but Ed’s version of how things happened is how I remember thatn particular bill...I hated it then and hate it even more now

[Henry Hnyellar]

Good point. The larger point is that we have the reality of the 1986 act. Too many working on and pushing for the current legislation act like 1986 never happened.

What’s that saying about fool me once and fool me twice?

Bachmann has just announced a DC rally Wednesday 6/19 over the Rusty Humphries radio gig. Bachmann contends the House is being steam rollered into supporting the “Amnesty” bill and many House members will support it in the belief “the latino vote” supports this. She contends if this passes there will never be another chance from the conservative movement to remedy the countries direction.

Once passed, we’d never have to deal with the issue again.

Yup. The lead communist in the Democrat Party Ted Kennedy himself spoke those same words in 1986.

  Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow...

We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said. [Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance]

  One day after announcing on his radio show that he is "truly considering" running in 2014 for the U.S. Senate seat now held by New Jersey's Frank Lautenberg, Rivera amped up his message today in a television interview and a column on the Fox News Latino website... a moderate Republican who is fiscally conservative but also supports gay marriage and Roe v. Wade... [Geraldo Rivera declares himself a 'moderate Republican' as he eyes U.S. Senate run]

Triple Bingo!!! They are not interested in becoming Americans. If the US Government is evil enough to grant them citizenship, that does NOT make them American. They aren't interested.

Also, how many bureaucrats will it take to determine if this nomads on the pathway to citizenship pay the fines, study American civics and learn English. Really and there's going to be no fraud going on? Snort!

This entire bill is a fraud and a scam. Rubio has proven his has poor judgment. Rand Paul is awfully close behind him. That leaves Ted Cruz.
