The sad thing is that if we successfully Kill Bill, they get to retain the status quo ante which is unacceptable. But then after the last election I guess we knew the next step was going to be “Repel Boarders.”
“The sad thing is that if we successfully Kill Bill, they get to retain the status quo ante which is unacceptable.”
I disagree with this claim... while the status quo is bad in many ways, what we are starting to see - and what frightens the open borders advocates - is a clear line of site to an ‘enforcement first’ approach to solve illegal immigration.
WE *HAVE* the border fence in law, and it is partly funded. We have the mantra “border security” and “enforce the law” so ingrained on the politicians, they have to pretend these bills do something about it ... yeah, it makes it worse but the point is that the people are on to the ‘bait and switch’ and we may yet get them to switch back.
All it really takes is (1) No amnesty now and none in 2009
and (2) a seriously competent “secure the borders” President, and (3) a non-amnesty immigration reform bill that ends chain migration and has enough employment visas will do the trick, and within a few years the problem will solve itself.
It's imperative that we elect an American President and an American Congress in the next election. The Senate is dominated by globalists and Bush is a globalist President. Our last American President was Reagan.
