I NEVER thought I’d say this: let ‘em impeach Jorge. I just don’t care anymore.

I'm not calling for his impeachment. But I sure as heck wouldn't expend much energy fighting it.

Get a load of this: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1839080/posts?page=1

Mexican Amnesty Activists' Have A Direct Line to OUR Senators!

For those of you having difficulty getting thru to your senator, here is the 800 # paid for by the Mexican Amnesty Activists:

800-882-2005

This will get you directly to your senator unlike the #'s available to the US Citizen.

Press 1 when you hear a Spanish message, then Press 1 again to be transferred to your senior senator's office

OR

Press 2 when you hear a Spanish message, and you'll be transferred to your junior senator's office.

Apparently it works, a few folks on the thread linked above verified that it brought them in DIRECTLY.

Bush has still done a lot for this country. I just don’t understand throwing him under the bus for this issue...

Benedict Arnold did a lot for his country too and was a highly decorated military leader. So, what's your point?

“WE’LL LEAVE IRAQ IF THEY ASK US”

GW could have just as easily said “WE’LL LEAVE THE U.S. IF THE ILLEAGLES ASK US”!

What ever happened to campaign finance reform? It is freaking ridiculous the amount of bucks spent for the Presidential election.Senators and Congress on both sides of the isle vacation in beachfront homes and live like kings.

We lost our middle class.We can do nothing but spiral down as a country. When our steel mills/foundries all closed,we became MADE IN CHINA under the guise of globalization.

We are a land of LEGAL immigrants.

I know that sounds good, but it's not true. If 15% or even 30% of us are 'immigrants', what are the rest of us?

When this country was formed, only 3 or 4 of the founders were 'immigrants'. We have the most lienient immigration policy known in the world, but we are a nation of AMERICAN CITIZENS who welcome immigrants.

I don't think the House is going to buy into this Shamnesty, if it gets past the Senate. Too many amendments of amendments. It's a very conflicting Bill..which is based on the "rule of law" and no clear law has been defined.

There are some Democrats who won't vote for this either.

The sleeping sheeple are finally bleating..American Idol is over!

Just received this reply from Jim Webb, one of my senators

"Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns over current immigration issues.

An estimated 11 million unauthorized persons reside in the United States; this population is estimated to increase by 500,000 annually. Each year, about 1 million people are apprehended trying to enter the United States illegally. Although most of these people enter the United States for economic opportunities, family reunification, or to avoid civil strife, some may have ill intentions.

I believe the solution to our illegal immigration situation should be a three-pronged effort. The first task is to gain control of our borders, particularly our southern border. Second, we must find a way to absorb into our society those immigrants who have lived and worked in the United States for many years and have put down roots here. For these people, there should be an eventual path to citizenship. Third, we must enforce immigration laws that are already in place, such as punishing corporations who knowingly hire illegal immigrants. Additionally, we must engage the Mexican government and hold it accountable for its responsibilities regarding illegal immigration.

My staff and I appreciate your correspondence on this important issue. Please do not hesitate to contact us in the future.

Torture, Al-Qaeda Style
Drawings, tools seized from Iraq safe house in U.S. military raid

*******************************EXCERPT***************************************

MAY 24--In a recent raid on an al-Qaeda safe house in Iraq, U.S. military officials recovered an assortment of crude drawings depicting torture methods like "blowtorch to the skin" and "eye removal." Along with the images, which you'll find on the following pages, soldiers seized various torture implements, like meat cleavers, whips, and wire cutters. Photos of those items can be seen here. The images, which were just declassified by the Department of Defense, also include a picture of a ramshackle Baghdad safe house described as an "al-Qaeda torture chamber." It was there, during an April 24 raid, that soldiers found a man suspended from the ceiling by a chain. According to the military, he had been abducted from his job and was being beaten daily by his captors. In a raid earlier this week, Coalition Forces freed five Iraqis who were found in a padlocked room in Karmah. The group, which included a boy, were reportedly beaten with chains, cables, and hoses. Photos showing injuries sustained by those captives can be found here. (12 pages)

So tell us, then - do you approve of what Bush is doing here? Do you think it's a good thing? If so, why?

The 12 million self-deported from Mexico because Mexico made it to where they did not want to stay there.

Which means if we make it to where they will not want to stay here, they will self-deport back.

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed.

Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table...everywhere.

Then some of the birds turned mean: They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud: They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food. After a while, I couldn’t even sit on my own back porch anymore.

I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be...quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now lets see...our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, free
education, allows anyone born here to be a automatic citizen and now wants to grant amnesty to all illegals. The illegal’s came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families: you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor: you child’s 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn’t speak English: Billboards are now bilingual; I have to press “one” to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than “Old Glory” are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

It is WAY PAST time for the government to take down the bird feeder. Wouldn’t you all agree?

Funny, and nearly six years after 9-11, Chertoff has admitted that DHS still cannot keep track of visa overstays.

WE'LL LEAVE IRAQ IF THEY ASK US

Bremer said the same thing at a press conference at a CENTOOM briefing during the beginnings of Iraqi Freedom. Iraq is a sovereign nation. We are there technically as guests.
