Didn’t even notice the mistake; serves me right for mailing on a blackberry!

Not completely. Steps 2 & 3 are bassackwards.
1) Seal the border.
2) Enforce existing laws and go after employers.
3) Begin deporting illegals.
4) Reform existing immigration laws.
I place #2 before #3 because by going after employers, many illegals will begin deportation on their own. If the jobs dry up, so will the illegals.
Right now I will take RATS like Byrd and Nelson over scum like McCain, Graham and Kyl. Maybe we can trade.
ROFLMAO!!!
Byrd?...really...I’m dumbfounded...I’m not doubing you, but can you give me a link that supports the statement that Byrd is against the bill?
IIRC he voted against it last year and voiced his opinion on the floor against it this year. I guess he has his own reasons that may not be the same as mine.
I’ve been away and I am a little confused. Is there more than one bill? Has a bill already passed the Senate? Someone please enlighten me.
WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!
Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them. This is a bipartisan issue not a Conservative or Liberal issue BUT AN AMERICAN issue.
I just fired off another email to Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. I hope she gets the message soon. I sent several more FR thread links.
“We can’t solve a problem by making it worse.”
Big Ben!
Ole Byrd knows that he will be drawn and quartered in WV if he votes for this monstrosity. He knows how we feel. I keep sending him letters and calling all the time. Rocky also tells me he is against the bill. I have no proof of that yet.
Ole Byrd is undoubtedly in his last term, however. I wouldn’t be surprised if he votes against the bill, since he’s occasionally reasonable on social issues. As for Mr. Rockefeller, I wouldn’t trust anything he says. He’s a standard-brand liberal, and a standard-brand liberal from West Virginia has probably done a fair amount of lying in his career.
Yes, I’ll give Nelson credit for this. His opposition may prove to be important, too. It’s good news for sure.
More good news. Thanks for sharing it.
