Baucus wants to get another Democrat elected in a state where 80% voted against illegal aliens in a ballot measure.

58 votes doesn’t seem that bad compared to the way it is being portrayed as a slam dunk.

Begich and Landrieu are not bellweathers. Begich has said months ago the Alaska delegation is united for amnesty because Alaska is committed to diversity. Even Don Young I guess. Which is ironic because Don Young has had a good record against amnesty. Landrieu is an idiot who sides with McCain against Vitter. Vitter got 56% last time he ran in a midterm against illegal immigration.

Our immigration problem is that people come here illegally. So making these people US citizens fixes the problem of people coming here illegally?

Senate morons and sellouts all of ‘em!

” Note that the number of illegals jumped to nearly 10 million by 2000, but supposedly haven’t jumped anything near that in the subsequent 13 years.

By rights, there should be 25 or so million illegals here.”

There are 20-25 million here. I often joke about the fact that the 11 million figure has been stationary since around 200 : )

Yeah....illegals sure want to live in 40 below zero weather : )

That is why Alaska is so grossly overpopulated.

In 1986 Schumer claimed 250,000 illegals. It turned out to be over 10 times bigger.

I’m surprised Schumer didn’t say 25,000 illegals.

Mark Pryor will pay for voting “yes” on this Amnesty Bill on election day, I can assure you....

I honestly think there’s a dirty little secret. I think they have been legalizing them.

I remember them claiming 1 million, but we all know it becamse 3.5 million by 1990 or so.

If we grant amnesty today (under whatever name and description), there will be 20 to 35 million people sign up.

That’s my take on it.

Yeah, but if Republicans are good on every other issue, don’t give them trouble over this. We can’t expect perfection and they’ll make up for it later...

If a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i+j+k+l+m+n+o+p+q+r+s+t+u+v+w+x+y+z are true, these people can’t extrapolate any meaning from it.

Sad...

Obama should have been in impeachment proceedings by now.

The NSA and IRS are criminal enterprises under Obama, and Obama alone.

Instead they are doing his bidding.

If they tried to blackmail me with information, I would announce my infraction to the public, tell them what I knew about corruption, and resign.

I would mention exactly who threatened me, tried to blackmail me.

So would I. So would most of us.

Pryor would do better amongst Black voters if he voted for a gun control measure that will fail both houses, than an amnesty that could get forced through.
