Today is the Cloture Vote on Immigration Bill [first cloture vote fails; 2nd cloture vote fails]
7 June 2007 | Gulf War One

Posted on 06/07/2007 6:17:41 AM PDT by Gulf War One

This is the homestretch.

Call and e-mail your senators today, Republicans and Democrats, urging them not to table debate on this critical piece of legislation.

It deserves a fair and open debate of all ramifications. To do otherwise is unamerican.

Ask them to vote "NO" on cloture.

Keep bumping this to the top.

Today is the day.

OMG!

Feinstein links Teddy Kennedy (Senator, Glen Livett) to poor illegal immigrants...

The Irish side of my family is outraged!
(They are also dead but that isn't a problem to a democrat)

She even suggested that he could remember something for an hour.
(Gotta check that out somehow)

Did Coburn introduce not letting felons in? The one they voted against (idiots).

Hey, Floriduh! I haven’t been able to post much today, but I wanted to send some congratulations your way. You got out there in front with that Spanish/La Raza toll free hotline, and many of us made good use of it. I’m still amazed that we won, but I’m VERY happy. What a day!

I guess the big question now is, "Will They Riot In The Streets"??

I predict they will--at least some of them. They will be mighty angry they did not get what they wanted. And since they are patent lawbreakers in the first place by merit of them illegally walking on our American soil every day, it won't matter to them if they riot, or cause distruction to a country they neither love, nor care about, except to the extent they can somehow personally get something out of that country.

Not only that... more illegals will come in. You think employers are going to pay the wages, insurance, med and taxes? Nah... next 20 million.

Hello,

At least retire, he would have so much more time to hang out at the bar.

Hopefully, he has learned how important it is to take a cab home....

This is a great victory for the Conservative Movement over nominal party figures.

Yes indeed it is and we deserve to celebrate!!

I propose that we celebrate this great victory over the weekend and then start another maximum effort campaign on Monday to remind the President that he has certain duties that are MANDATED (not optional) in Article II section 3 of the United States Constitution. They include:

"...,he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,..."

And that means ALL laws not just the ones he likes!

Did you see the article last week re: doubling and tripling of fees to LEGAL immigrants? Wanna guess why... exactly. They’re suffering for doing the right thing.

Wow, who is this latest griper on the Senate floor? Mel Martinez seems to pretend the message isn’t clear:

1. Secure our borders.
2. Secure our borders.
3. Secure our borders.
4. Enforce our present law. (i.e., prosecute illegal employers and deport at least the abusive illegals)
5. Create a sane status for truly helpful foreign workers.

Hey, Mel!

I don't go to golf (country) clubs!

Mel!

I mow my own lawn - Most Americans do.

Hey, Mel!

Better update that resume. I think you're going to need it before too long.
