[Podcast: Debra J. Saunders and Louis Freedberg debate the immigration bill]

[trubluolyguy]

No backlash? Wanna bet?

[cripplecreek]

Um, OK sure.

[taxed2death]

Wishful thinking.

It's open season on Senators.

[squarebarb]

then the writer says the backlash is a myth.

Go figure.

Immigration bill????

ILLEGAL Immigration Bill!!!!

The F'ing word ILLEGAL means just THAT.

[EagleUSA]

Watching our dysfunctional liberal-socialist Congress in action is beyond sickening. They are killing America. They don't care about America, only getting re-elected. Bowing to the ILLEGAL anarchists in the streets, easily blackmailed by ILLEGAL CRIMINALS in the streets, and doing NOTHING about it except REWARDING them for their criminality. And now crafting an ILLEGAL ALIEN BILL to provide free pass for American taxpayers to continue to be ripped off by CRIMINALS.

It is all about power and control, and NOT AMERICA and its system of laws and the protections for its REAL citizens.

[b4its2late]

That's why there are immigration policies that limit the number of people who can immigrate here legally.

Yep.

[DumpsterDiver]

Hence Sunday's huge demonstration in Los Angeles, where activists carried signs that called for "Amnistía, Full Rights for All Immigrants."

The A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition provided logistical support and mobilized for today's demonstration in Los Angeles. Thousands of A.N.S.W.E.R.'s yellow and black placards reading "Amnistía, Full Rights for All Immigrants" were held throughout the march. A.N.S.W.E.R. also organized a major contingent in the march.

The Los Angeles Times duly reported, "Some Republicans fear that pushing too hard against illegal immigrants could backfire nationally, as with Proposition 187 (the 1994 ballot measure that sought to deny benefits for illegal immigrants, that) helped spur record numbers of California Latinos to become U.S. citizens and register to vote. Those voters subsequently helped Democrats regain political control in the state."

The backlash will come in Nov. and they won't need illegals to vote to get the result. The Republicans are sealing their fate by continuing to ignore their constituents IMO.

All the previous immigrants paid their way - no previous government took away so much of previous Americans incomes to pay for schools, med's, crime, etc.

Previous immigrants made their own way as opposed to todays that get free food, homes, money and everything elese.

[Centurion2000]

OF COURSE, America needs immigrants. This is a country founded by immigrants and made richer by the imprint of newcomers in search of a land that rewards their hard work and determination to make a better life for their families.

LEGAL immigrants you idiot !!

[Dead Corpse]

The Illegals would "backlash"? Who effing cares? Let 'em backlash all they want. It'll just make them easier to ID and deport.

[longtermmemmory]

It this man delusional? (yes he is)

OF COURSE THIS WILL CREATE A BACKLASH!!!

Just as the amnesty debacle of Reagan cost him.


This BS about paying a fine is not amnesty is pure doublespeak. 1000 dollars for GUARANTEED US citizenship! You will have people sellling a kidney to do that.

[Republicus2001]

Feinstein is a a miserable failure

[CowboyJay]

"Instead, on Monday, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed a bill with a guest-worker program that would allow illegal immigrants to apply for citizenship. Big mistake. If Washington passes an immigration bill that grants citizenship to illegal immigrants and includes a phony temporary guest-worker program -- phony, because there is no way the government can or would remove workers after six years, as one scheme promises -- then the deception will be official. The message Washington will send will resound louder than ever: Forget immigration laws. Legal, illegal, no dif."

What has this country come to when a MSM journalist, from San Francisco no less, better understands the reality of this issue, and holds a more conservative position that a (so-called) Republican President?

The author of the article is correct in her position. If any type of legal status is afforded to illegals, there will be a MASSIVE backlash by American citizens towards the president, and the party in power. Bet on it.

[Shuttle Shucker]

Can you believe this comparison of Mexican and U.S. immigration laws?
