Two leading senators on Wednesday told the Obama administration to stop deporting illegal-immigrant students, saying they might soon be legalized by Congress ...
Rep. Lamar Smith, the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, called it ironic that two senators were telling the administration to ignore a law passed by Congress that calls for deportation of illegal immigrants.

If Evan Bayh can be forced into retirement, so can Lugar. This Nixon-era fossil should be one of the poster boys for term limits.
I don't care which party is shilling for taxpayer's to support illegal immigrants (Mexicans) and their "friends and families" just VOTE THEM OUT NOW!
RINO Lugar is getting swept out in 2012 with his good buddy Bambi. The dream act is a nightmare.
I have no objection to granting citizenship to these kids if they serve three years in the military. But citizenship based on going to college is ridiculous. College these days is a joke.
To pretend that college and military service are comparable is obscene.
Isn’t it ILLEGAL to aid in a felony? Isn’t breaking and entering [house, country, business] a felony?
Would someone please make a citizen’s arrest of these two [I use the term loosely] “men?”
