Funny meaning blood boiling of course.

Yeah - I knew what you meant. I was just adding that besides the sleight of hand in bringing the amendment up "last," which was bad enough, the darn thing passed easily. That tells me that the Senate is inclined to entice people into the country with the promise of a reward.

We already have (legal) means for granting citizenship to legal aliens who serve honorably in our armed services - Durbin is giving the same reward to people who manage to get a high school diploma and an Associate Degree.

Plus the fact that these illegal kids could be the scourge of their neighborhoods until they turn 18 then cool out for 2 years and boom theyre citizens. Did you see how pissed Kyl was after that thing. He looked like he wanted to swing at Specter.

Durbin also referenced the DREAM ACT...which is Hatch's baby..

It gives illegals the ability to get instate tuition...where LEGAL CITIZENS...from other states cannot.
