June 28, 2007 - (Washington, D.C.) – U.S. Sen. David Vitter today issued the following statement regarding the defeat of the immigration bill.

“This is an incredible victory for the American people. The Kennedy immigration bill was flawed and granted amnesty to millions of illegals.

“For a while, a small group of us were the only senators advocating the position of the majority of Americans. I am thankful that the continued calls and persistent engagement of the American people on this issue paid off.

“The next step is to immediately push the president to take up his word and enforce security at the border. I am ready to support the work that is needed to accomplish this goal,” said Vitter.

Dubya’s willingness to leave Ramos and Compean in prison speaks volumes.

Right now Rudy might be Vitters choice, but I really think the Rudy is much to liberal for conservatives. As an example, Rudy praised R.Bader Ginsberg-—thought she was a good Supreme Court Justice. I don’t know about you, but to me R.Bader Ginsberg is a leftist; and as a former head of the ACLU, is really out of step with the American people.
I didn’t mention his stance on Abortion. I’ll save that for another day. I think once Fred T gets in and shows he’s capable of the job, I really think Vitters will switch.

I see you are new here. Yes, we are quite aware of liberal Giuliani, and his cross-dressing, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual and anti-gun positions. He has as much chance as Harry Reid of winning the GOP nomination.

That "new tone" they hear is the voice of the American people.

And they DON'T like it!

We must not stop. We must close the borders and arrest the employers. These poor exploited Aliens will go home with the exception on the 24% of our prison population that ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS. They stay for their punishment and THEN WE dump them where they came from.
Get the EMPLOYERS EMPLOYERS EMPLOYERS!! and it will get these Aliens out of here!!!

I heard him, too. I guess it’s time for the likes of McCain and Lott to step aside, as they can’t “reign them in”.

Yeah, she called him one of the Young Turks. I know that she was specifically referring to 4 young GOP Senators. Vitter, Sessions and DeMint. Do you know who the 4th was?? I want to write a note of thanks to them all.

Doesn’t sound like they got any help from Mitch McConnell either. I was surprised at how frank the discussion was on Laura’s show. Though I guess I shouldn’t be, especially after she spiked Tony Snow. Thank God someone is watching out for us!!

Vitter was truly a nice surprise. He was awesome, yesterday, interrupting Harry Reid to pose questions and raise objections. And, Vitter firmly stood his ground. When Reid offerred to give Vitter 30 minutes to speak, Vitter says...’the time is not the issue...even if I only have 5 minutes, I want to use the time to speak about what I want to speak about not what Speaker Reid wants me to speak about...’
I tried to call Vitter’s office today to say thanks....but, lines were still busy.

Thank you Republican Senator Vitter, Republican Senator DeMint,Republican Senator Coburn and Republican Senator Sessions for leading this battle against this horrible bill that would give Amnesty to 20 million illegals and would allow them to bring their family members to the U.S.A... Thank you for saving the United States.

Shame on you Democrat Senator Clinton, Democrat Senator Obama, Democrat Senator Kennedy Democrat Senator Reid,and the vast Majority of Democrat Senators for voting for Amnesty for illegals and for opposing the will of 85% of the American people. Shame on you liberal,socialist, Stalinist, communist villains for voting to end debate,to pass this horrible bill. This bill would give Amnesty to 20 million illegals and allow them to bring their family members to the U.S.A.. That would turn the U.S. into a 3rd world socialist hell hole. Shame on you liberal villains for trying to destroy the United states and freedom.

The fact that the vast majority of Democrat Senators voted for Amnesty and to end debate shows that the Democrat party is a threat to America, freedom,our prosperity, and our way of life. That Democrats are overwhelmingly for the fairness doctrine , socialist government healthcare, more taxes, more government global warming regulations , etc. , further proves that the Democrat party is a threat to our way of life,to liberty, to every American and to the United states.

Thank the vast majority of Republican Senators that voted against cloture and this Amnesty.

Shame on Bush for opposing the will of 85% of the American people.

And shame on the liberal Democrat Trojan horses like Graham, Lott, McCain, Specter,Hagel, who call themselves Republicans.

Thank you Senator. It’s so refreshing for there to be someone who brings up-liftment to the title rather than demean it.

I agree that Bush is single-sighted about this. He won’t do what WE THE PEOPLE have demanded. He believes that he is superior to WE THE PEOPLE.

This fight has really been an eye-opener.

But aren’t they all of Mexican descent?

I guess he only likes the illegal kind!

Yes, its high time for drastic measures; like enforcing the current laws of the USA.

And they’ll keep making as much noise as THEY can to drown out the voice of WE THE PEOPLE.
