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.

Oh no...here come all the "Ich bin ein immigrant" stories now. Specter starting with the Scottish grandmother again.

As if every one of us does not have a story, that's not the point. SHUT UP, you idiots!

Oh God, Mel wearing his poncho on his sleeve. We get it already, we should support the bill because we hate Mexicans if we don’t. But here’s a news flash - many many Mexicans HATE us. That’s why they booed Miss America and Tony Romo. They’re not coming to our “shores” because they want to be part of us. Most aren’t anyway, I know this for a fact.

Heads up, Major Garrett on Fox just said the phone system crashed on the hill. I question the timing, keep calling.

I’d like to add we go to war with the Congress we have, not the Congress we would like to have.

“Sweet Home Alabama”

The Southern vote is all that is keeping this country from flying apart. They want to give amnesty to such a large group that it will, in one generation, with family reconciliation and their children, come close to equaling the entire Southern vote.

Kennedy was right about one thing........ This is All about RACE

I agree - it's also about about nationality as well. Also, if this were not 24 million mexicans but rather 24 million chinese or 24 million Sudanese, there is no way the administration would be pushing for this so hard.

I do truly believe that this boils down to Bush's soft spot of mexican nationals - particularly his sister in law.

Blogger on why the senate SHOULD pass amnesty. Of course the blogger is an immigration attorney in real life.

doesn't voting against cloture require the debate to continue

This is confusing. Sen Stevens said voting for cloture would allow the amendments to be considered, which would continue the debate. Must be some procedural details we ordinary citizens can't possibly understand.
