Another sell out...depressing.

[Bikers4Bush]

Unacceptable, the GOP will pay for this treachery in November.

[Carry_Okie]

What does BOHICA mean?

Bend Over, Here It Comes Again.

[Peach]

Ditto. Now I'll leave the thread and let people argue among themselves. LOL

[Rebelbase]

From a thread that got pulled a minute ago: "So far I've only heard that illegal immigrants here less than 2 years have to leave."

That humming sound you hear are the bogus document printers warming up.

[FloridianBushFan]

And people who have been here longer breaking the laws get rewarded for their crime.

[kellynla]

this is all just a waste of time and taxpayers' dollars...

we don't need any new bills,
what we need is for GWB & the DOJ to start enforcing the laws already on the books.

[Peach]

What I heard is there is no guarantee they can come back. And if we do real border enforcement, hopefully they won't come back illegally.

[ladyjane]

This is going to backfire on the Washington lawmakers.

People are fed up. Not just in the border towns but in the midwest, CA and up in ME.

[meyer]

I've written my two RINO Senators, but it probably won't mean a thing. These idiots want amnesty. The Senate is bought and paid for. The voters are irrelevent, or so they think.

Idiots!!

[Biblebelter]

Sovereignity lost. Ilegals have greater political power than those citizens supposedly enfranchised with the right to vote.

[Lekker 1]

"There's been tremendous progress overnight," said Sen. Harry Reid"

This phrase always makes my nerves a little queezy.

[uncitizen]

I just hope that the amendment to refuse citizenship to those who have committed felonies passes.

I hope so too. But doubt it. That would be to judgmental and unfair. After all, those felons have paid their debt to society. /sarc

[Mayflower Sister]

A - M - N - E - S - T - Y ..... Which, when translated means,,,, I'm changing to the CONSTITUTION PARTY.

[Rebelbase]

[RetiredArmy]

Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., as well as other key senators met before the vote to review terms of a proposed compromise.

THIS STATEMENT ALONE SAYS ONE THING TO ME: AMERICA IS SCREWED! AMERICANS GET SCREWED! ILLEGALS WIN! ILLEGALS GET TO STAY! ILLEGALS ARE NOW LEGAL! ILLEGALS CONTINUE TO GET FREE MONEY, FREE HEALTH CARE, AS LEGALS! AMERICA IS DOOMED! TERRORISTS WHO ILLEGALLY GOT INTO THE COUNTRY CAN NOW BE HERE LEGALLY TO BE TERRORISTS! IN OTHER WORDS, AMERICA GETS YET ANOTHER BIG SHAFT FROM THE U.S. CONGRESS OF COMMUNISTS.

[george wythe]

Amendments will be offered to the Senate bill;
some of these amendments may kill the bill.

[EternalVigilance]

So, the longer you've broken the law, the more we're going to reward you?

Please explain to me how that isn't insane?

Also, explain how they are going to verify how long an illegal has been in this country?

[Ramius]

Maybe some more belly-achin' would fix it... yes... that might work.

[TXBSAFH]

An amnesty by another name. BOHICA.
