Tancredo doubts he can block amnesty-extension bill

The feds have proven themselves incompetent to handle immigration. Immigration is the proper function of the states according to the constitution. There is no constitutional empowerment of any branch of the federal government to grant or withhold citizenship, or allow immigration, only a grant of power for Congress to establish a uniform rule for naturalization for the states to apply.

Congress, the judiciary and the Executive must abide by the Constitution or admit that they are governing in defiance of law.

This entire thread should be sent to the White House, though I doubt that Jorge would be interested.

Freeped poll. Now at 70%

Now, now, musn't be disheartened. He knows all about us, and what we think. Right now he doesn't care, because those poll numbers are so high. But when they start trickling down, he needs to know that his base is solid.

And unless we get this thing worked out (not by giving in), and a laundry list of other stuff, we're all going to be one unhappy base. Just listen to the talk radio shows...a lot of bewildered folks, calling in and saying...who'd I vote for?

He's playing good cop - bad cop with Aschcroft. The AG is lobbing the conservative hardballs while Bush plays good cop. They think they can keep us on the reservation that way.

But that may not be enough, and we have to keep letting them know that.

On this issue Bush chews mightly..... Regards

The poll is standing just about exactly where it was yesterday morning when I voted. I wish they would post the number of votes cast.

You're right, I just get so disgusted and frustrated that he won't even address our concerns. They all hear from me, Jorge, Babs, Dianne, Jane and Gray (birds of a feather on the immigration issue). I'm a persistent ol' coot, and will not give up!

Thanks! Turning it on now...
