Before the bill passes: "This is not amnesty. We put these stringent requirements for citizenship in place, including a stiff financial payment for those who have violated the current law."

After the bill passes: "These hard-working people have helped make our economy great. How can we now ask those who can least afford it to pay such an exorbitant fee in order to gain the citizenship they want so dearly and have otherwise earned?"

...vote in favor of a bill he hasn't had the chance to read? Anyone who does this doesn't deserve to be in Congress.

Send your regards to Senator John "open-border" McCain for setting the bar high so high with his co-sponsored Kennedy-McCain bill.

Most republicans would rather vote for Hillary than John McCain.

This country is done for along with conservatism. Thanks George Bush.

by bringing them to where it starts- back in their OWN country.

Forget the wall...at this point the only solution I will agree with is a minefield.

Did we get a Drudge link or something?

Well done is better than well said. —Benjamin Franklin

If the Republicans do anything besides getting rid of each and everyone of the 20 million illegals, then they can kiss away the 2008 election. Remember the Democrats stopped all legislation for the last 6 years despite being in the minority.

Send home the Sell Outs.

GOP RIP.

Semper Fi

The Senators signed last years bill S2611 without reading it so what else is new. They had no comprehension of the huge increases in immigration that this bill would have endorsed as well as the legalization of 15 to 20 million illegals already within our borders. It would have increased our immigrant population by 100 million or more over 20 to 30 years according to the Heritage Foundation. It also contained amnesty for felonies for fraud committed while they were here. Fraudulent Social Security cards, drivers licenses, green cards, false names, false identifications used when applying for government services. Amnesty for not paying federal or state taxes. Amnesty for the use of false and assumed identities when questioned by authorities or arrested etc.. I wonder what we will discover in the NEW immigration package? Anybody want to see what happens to an American citizen that doesnt pay taxes or uses fraudulent documents to defraud the government of goods or services? I'll bet there is no amnesty!

If Republicans allow this foolishness to go forward it will be a disaster for the party and the country in 2008. Nothing good can come of this. If 12 to 20 million people are allowed to break US law with the blessing of the president and congress it will set a precedent that we'll never overcome. Welcome to the end.

What is more dangerous than Democrats? Republicans with the desire to belong, reaching out for compromise. Republicans reaching out to show their compassion, in the hope of being praised by the drive-by media.
The only hope is make the weak knee Republican thinking of selling us out, even more affraid of what is left of their base. Now that this year's season of American Idol is over, perhaps there is a small prayer of a chance that enough people will take 30 seconds to wake up to the reality and take action.

I knew in 1994 that BUSH was a worthless moron when he became Texas governor. In 2000, all of the conservatives fell for this moron. In hindsight, it was the political money machine behind him that made it all seem so good. Yeah, he was the Washington outsider. Remember that smoke? He is merely the puppet or front man for what has been nothing more than a well organized legal robbery and complete defalcation of the United States Treasury. When they all leave office in 09', they will leave the new debt to us while their financial futures will be secured for generations to come. Whatever happened to what will be more than $4 trillion dollars in new debt in eight years?

And for those who disagree, ask yourself this: If you were one of the many GOP benefactors, either as a contractor or some other butt kissing stooge within the inner circle, and you have guaranteed financial comfort for life after '09, would you even care what happens to this nation? Look for most of the lowlife behind this to bolt on the new manmade beaches in the middle east or Dubai where some of the foremost corporations are relocating for tax avoidance purposes. Hey, there's got to be another place to put your money since America is soon to discover that it has been financially tanked for some time.

Yes, if you were one of the morons in our vastly expanded veggie electorate who voted for BUSH, well, the good news is that you now know that

1) he was never really running this country on his own(how could anyone with an inept command of the English language possibly do this in what was seemingly the perfect first term?) AND;

2) you now know that BUSH should have never been president and that his time as prez is as big of a joke as Clinton's.

The bad news is that you're at least 6 years too late and the hope of ever correcting this pathetic plight that our great nation has undertaken is well beyong the point of no return.

We are now a nation of losers who will have our voting strength diluted by groveling cantina drinking illegal aliens while corporate America continues the march on pillaging the Treasury and the taxpayer.

The smart folks, who are still here in America, have made plans to relocate out of this nation so that those who are left can pay the bills as econo-slaves.

Lastly, the one thing you won't hear in the media:

Both Bush 41 and Bush 43, are now responsible for acquiescing(a popular BUSH 41 term) and signing into law spending bills that now cumulatively total more than half of this nation's federal debt($4.5 trillion of a total $8.8 trillion in total debt). There was not ONE VETO by EITHER of these two presidents over spending. The headline should be: Father-Son duo financially hammer America. When the financial calamity finally does toll, don't look for these two to be around to explain their actions.

[BUSH 41=$1.574 Trillion & BUSH 43=$3 Trillion and running through 2K9]

Like I said, this nation is a total joke and you've been had. In closing and to coin a self-destructive phrase of a previous Texas Republican gubernatorial candidate running for that office in 1990 against then Anne Richards, "They say bad weather is like rape: you can't do anything about it, so you should just lay back and enjoy it."

Bon Appetit!
