Live Thread: Senate Amnesty Debate (CRITICAL 2ND CLOTURE VOTE TODAY!) Woo hoo!! It's DEAD!!
The U.S. Senate with Free Republic Input | June 28, 2007 | truthkeeper

Posted on 06/28/2007 6:25:57 AM PDT by truthkeeper

Here we are again my friends, hopefully for the last debate thread on this particular monstrous legislation. Proceedings are supposed to begin at 9:30 a.m. EST, with the cloture vote being taken at 10:30 a.m.

On a personal note, you've all been wonderful in your passion, vigilance, and commitment to the principles on which our country was founded. If I have to be in a foxhole, I want to be in it with you guys.

I’d like him to get as many flowers as possible, instead of just one big bouquet, so it depends on what we decide to do.

Whomever wishes to pool....send each other FReepmails...the rest can send solo...all's good!

No, Reid lost tremendously. This is the kind of botch-job that could cost him his leadership position.

Do you want to pool from many or did you, personally, want to go solo....looks like a few of us want to pool...

My personal thought is the pooling is just too unwieldy, being as we are from all over the place. Plus the one time in my life I had to be responsible for collecting everyone's money it was such a nightmare I swore I'd never take that task on again. LOL

I'm still working his phones - not able to get through but added you to the ping list. :-)

Note the stock market, up 23, despite news of $70 a barrel oil. Hmmm, maybe Wall Street doesn’t like illegals as much as everyone thought.

LET’S KEEP AND INCREASE THE INITIATIVE TO:

1) Build the fence - Now!
2) Secure the border - Now!
3) Punish employers with $10,000 fines who hire illegals - Now!
4) Cancel the anchor baby loophole - Now!
5) Deny all services to anyone not here legally with the exception of life or death medical treatment - Now!
6) Give illegals 6 months to self deport (they got here and they can leave).
7) If they do not self deport there should be Proactive Enforcement and deportation.
8) After the 6 months, if they are then found in the US they will be considered felons, will be deported, and can NEVER become citizens.
9) Make English the Official Language of the USA!
10) Put pressure on the Mexican government and other nations to reduce illegal immigration to America.

"...but at least we won’t have 12 million or 20 million newly legal ‘workers’ demanding benefits, committing crimes and flouting our laws. "
