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.

Trying to find out when Sessions will be back in DC.

Yes, that's exactly what I am trying to find out too. If you finally get through, please ping me, Snoopers. (I'll do the same.) We'll post the info for the forum.

What you don’t seem to understand is that as of today nothing has changed...at all.

Yes but they are still illegals and have no permanent ‘rights’. How can you not understand this.

3) Punish employers with $10,000 fines who hire illegals

Employers should have jail sentences..

Fines are just passed onto their customers...

Why not President? He is well liked and is a strong conservative.
Has anyone ever ask him?

There are quite a few names that come up on these boards worth considering.

Ugh, Rush is playing clips of the Swimmer now. "...a type of Gestapo to seek out those hiding in the shadows...that's their amendment, that's their amendment?..."

I know BrownNose and Voinovich (who can’t be intimidated) switched. Weren’t there others who waited until the writing was on the wall before they voted?

If you haven’t said a prayer of thanks to God for protecting our country . . . do!

Acts 17:26-28 From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’

If this bill had passed, they would have been there permanently-including criminals. We would have to provide all sorts of benefits to them. Also, states are getting sick of the cost of illegals and are acting against illegal immigration. In my opinion, this is why the elitists tried to ram this bill down our throats. Some states (including Georgia) are trying to cut down on illegals on their own. The Feds tried to make everyone legal...protecting their slave labor.

We understand that exactly. Nothing is a bazillion times better than granting them amnesty.

The market is a discounting mechanism. It moves in advance of events. Last Thursday thru Tuesday of this week the market was digesting the vote you witnessed today.

I understand........But.........There are some ‘soft spoken’ talk radio shows that attract quality callers also...I’m sure some Freepers out there have good suggestions

“I used to listen to talk radio a lot but I only listen to sports talk radio now. I cannot take the callers.”

By killing the bill they keep their slave labor at a much lower cost then if they had been made legal..and a lot more of them as well.
