Wait a minute - after looking at the votes, not a single Republican voted for it! Not even Frist or McCain.....What gives? Could they actually be listening to us?
Reid's staff member gave a defeated "thank-you" reply--unlike last week's shouted reply of "It's NOT amnesty!"
Regards . . . Penny
Postscript: Aren't you tired of hearing that we need to give the illegal aliens an opportunity to apply for citizenship? Gosh. I thought they had that right while they were living in their homelands!
Make that www.numbersusa.com and www.fairus.org.
How about Sessions?
this is a great idea, but will the Republicans realize this is a win win if they do it? Let the demonrats b!tch and moan, and let the Republicans act on this idea. The demonrats would be finished for 40 years.
I'd wait and see. Right now I am not too trusting of any of the wafflers, including Senor Frist.
The Mexicans in Los Angeles will have go on singing "Weeee shallll over-runnnnnnnnnn!"
TomGuy, you should know by now that to a 'Rat, "compromise" means, Republicans do what 'Rats want.
Just like I suspected.
Democrats are interested in instant citizenship for people who break into this country illegally, while many Republican Senators seem to oppose such a ruling.
We have got to take a lesson from Israel on this one. Secure a giant concrete wall between the USA and other nations to keep criminals and other dangerous people out. Granted that many coming here are in favor of hard work, there are some really dangerous scumbags crossing in with them. How else do vicious gangs like MS-13 meet their recruitment numbers?
Notice that Kerry voted in favor of it. Will he reverse his decision tomorrow?
The Senate sidetracked sweeping immigration border security legislation Friday, leaving in doubt prospects for passing a bill offering the hope of citizenship to stopping millions of men, women and children living in sneaking into the United States illegally.
This is the best comparison I have seen on the web. And it is sooooo true. Makes you wonder how they can even pretend to have scruples.
Thanks.
Yes, I agree we need to keep phoning/faxing/emailing this week and even over the break to remind them we are still here and still fighting mad!
I wouldn't expect anything before November.
What's wrong with going home and getting in line for a visa? Answer: They think they're already home...they moved Mexico's border way, way north.
Good, the blasted RINO's, turncoats and outright traitors needed a kick in the pants. I say all these illegals need to go back to wherever they came from.
Certainly. http://www.numbersusa.com/hottopic/2454.html.
Go to the bottom and click on the vote tally link.
I still think that no bill is better than this bill, but if the Republican majority is weakened or obliterated in November, Senator Graham will be proven correct.
If Democrats take control of any chamber, they will conduct "hearing" on President Bush every week and persecute Republicans like they did with an honest, competent man, Tom Delay.
The immigration issue will be put on the back burner and zillions of new illegal residents will pour in.
This is great news {provided they don't suddenly "save the day" with a last minute compromise later today}!
At this point our greatest asset in this fight is the illegal immigration protesters. They may very well do something so outrageous that even even the now comotose
Senate will wake up!
