Lou Dobbs alert: Illegal immigrants may get rebates

In their bipartisan zeal to quickly cut a deal on an economic stimulus bill, GOP lawmakers overlooked something that will certainly inflame the conservative base _ illegal immigrants could receive a tax rebate check from the government.

McCain will be on board for this, that’s for sure.

The illegals are finally going to get their vacation pay them have been asking for...

I wonder what percent of it will get sent home to Mexico to ‘stimulate’ the economy there?!

Most of this money will be wired back home to stimulate the Mexican economy.

‘According to a Senate GOP aide, Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) will try to offer a “fix” to the bill in the Finance Committee markup of the legislation today. Republican aides are also worried that under certain definitions in the House bill, a resident alien who spent at least 183 days drawing income in the United States but was deported _ and still filed a tax return _ could have a rebate check sent to their home country. Ensign will try to prevent this with an amendment to the bill, according to a GOP aide.’

This would be comical, except its our country getting laughed at.

I heard about this last night and thought my head was going to explode I got so angry. Is this one of the changes the Senate wants to add from what the House passed?

It MUST stop!

My wife and I recently watched “Waitress,” a clever and sweet little film written and directed by Adrienne Shelly. Shelly was A VERY talented lady who also played a supporting role.

She was senselessly MURDERED in her NY apartment on November 1, 2006. Her body was found hanging by a sheet from a shower rod – by her husband. She was 40 and left behind a 3 year-old daughter who will never know her real mother.

A 19 YEAR OLD EQUADORIAN — AN ILLEGAL WHO SHOULD NEVER HAVE EVEN BEEN IN THE COUNTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE (THANK YOU CLINTON AND BUSH) — CONFESSED TO HER MURDER.

They are killing 25 of us every day.

IT WILL STOP WHEN THE MORONS IN WASHINGTON GET AS SERIOUS ABOUT THE ILLEGAL INVASION AS THEY ARE ABOUT HARASSING NATIVE BORN CITIZENS AT THE AIRPORTS.

(AND, YES, I INTENDED TO SHOUT BECAUSE I’M MAD AS HELL AND NOT GONNA TAKE ANY MORE OF THIS CRAP!)

How about you???

I’ve been a regular at local congressional town hall meetings for a few dozen years and noted that starting around 10 years ago, the majority of those there were angry that nothing was being done about the illegal invasion.

Why are we still waiting for the clowns in Malfunction Junction – who can produce convoluted legislative proposals to line their pockets or deliver pork back home and ram it through in the dark of night – to secure our national borders?

Perhaps YOU should get on over to those pre-election public meetings and raise some serious hell – before YOU die at the hands of someone who ought not even BE HERE!

We have enough indigenous criminals. WE SURE AS HELL DON’T NEED TO IMPORT MORE.

Rebates have NEVER WORKED. This is Keynsianism at its dumbest.

I am more concerned that ANY resident of the US are getting what is, in effect, a welfare payment. The fact that Il-LAY-guls are getting some off the top adds insult to injury.

Just perfect. My wife and I will not get a dime, our college kids will get $600 a piece, my parents who are comfortably retired will now get cash, and to top it off, illegals will as well. This is the classic example of income re-distribution! I was watching last night and one senator is proposing eliminating the income cap for rebates. He was excoriated by a Dim Senator who said those above the cap, ie Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, etc do not deserve the rebates. I am no Bill Gates or Warren Buffet, but with two kids in college, I could certainly use the cash. Disgusting..........

Get used to it, your new GOP candidate the I am told I have to vote for, will get together with his RAT buddies to make sure all US citizens give up some of what they have to bestow it on Mexican nationals.

But thats okay, it won’t be because I voted for him.

It will stop when those riding on the coach outnumber those
of us with the bits in our teeth, and we’re darn close now.
