The Senate yesterday easily approved an immigration bill that allows 10 million illegal aliens to become citizens, doubles the flow of legal immigration each year and will cost U.S. taxpayers an estimated $54 billion over the next 10 years.

The leaders of both parties hailed the 62-36 passage as a historic success.

"I am so proud of the Senate," Minority Leader Harry Reid said as those around him smiled broadly. "This is the way we should legislate -- on a bipartisan basis."

While the "regular LEGAL" citizens puked!

"This is the way we should legislate -- on a bipartisan basis."

Bipartisanship is when the Stupid Party and the Evil Party agree to do something that is both stupid and evil.

And I am so ashamed of the 23 GOP Senators that made your despicable gloating possible along with the corrupt, hypocrite Fox's victory tour.

According to Drudge there's gunfire in the House. Maybe they're having a bad day overall in the Capitol.

"I am so proud of the Senate," Minority Leader Harry Reid said

Durbin had similar praise...

Well--they have sealed their fate, I hope.

Sooner or later, these "high and mighty" folks are going to have to realize that they are elected to do the will of the people.

Every poll I have seen says that overwhelmingly, the people do not want what is in many provisions of this bill.

Sadly, I don't hold much hope that the House will do any better.

If I wasn't so enamored of Junior, I'd adopt that as a new tagline.

[TexasCajun]

From our Republican Leaders to its conservative base.

"Bipartisanship is when the Stupid Party and the Evil Party agree to do something that is both stupid and evil."

Amen to that!

[MizSterious]

At least it's not amnesty....

Well-written and complete description of The Monstrosity. Wait until the relatives - especially the aged parents needing free medical care - all come over too.Then the rest of the country will experience the flood to which California has been subjected.

And then they'll all finally "get it."

D.O.A.

True -- great tagline material. Don't be surprised if it shows up in mine soon (without attribution, of course) ;)

[truthkeeper]

The House will hold.

We'll make sure of it.

They already are aware that they are elected to do the will of the people. The sad part is that the people in question are foreign nationals!!!

[lilylangtree]

Spineless idiots praising themselves.
