Ah yes we have the best Senators money can buy...another failure in the making (as they wish) its all smoke and mirrors.

[SIDENET]

Let's just gid rid of all of our immigration laws. Then we won't have ANY illegals.

This is the “fix” that McCain is defending. Who would pay for a car repair that was only 25% finished? Why would anyone in their right minds vote for a senator who supports this travesty?

Oh, okay, it’s a CBO report, the number is a gross underestimate. Amnesty proponents never like to talk in absolute numbers.

I propose moving the CBO down to the Rio Grande Valley here in Texas. Anyone in favor of same, please address a tortilla to your congressman demanding the move.

Hey, not a problem! In 2018 we can pass some new laws to fix it again.

>>And in a blow to President Bush's timetable, the CBO said the "triggers" -- setting up the verification system, deploying 20,000 U.S. Border Patrol agents to duty and constructing hundreds of miles of fencing and vehicle barriers -- won't be met until 2010.<<

No problemo.

>>20 shall become effective on the date that the Secretary submits a written

21 certification to the President and the Congress that the following

22 border security and other measures are funded, in place, and in

23 operation:<<

That's DHS Secretary, right? Chertoff will have no problem certifying all triggers are satisfied, regardless of the true status. (Remember DHS lying under oath about Ramos/Compeam?) But suppose a nuke goes off in Washington and suddenly we get honest folks in the Executive Branch. All the illegals are here to stay anyway because they got instant legalization.

Un put about 100 snipers on the border and I bet we can reduce illegal entry about 99% for 1/1000 of the cost of this bill. They don’t even have to shoot anyone, just the threat. I’m tired of hearing we can’t stop illegal entry. If the government can’t (or won’t) stop it then we are no longer a sovereign nation.

Thes numbers are a crock. Jeff Session laid all this out in detail on the Senate floor next year. He predicted 200 million within 20 years!
