Absolutely agree, maica.

Watched ABC this morning with John McCain. They are going to shove through immigration reform which is really rewarding lawbreaking illegals with citizenship because their numbers are huge. His first reasoning was political.

How shameful is that? Our number one reason to change a law is what it does for the Ruling class, not what it does to or for America.

Regarding Women in Combat, George Will says it depends how it is implemented - should not change the physical requirements. At least he brings up the concept of the injured Marine being unable to be thrown over the shoulder of a female Marine. Everyone else thinks it’s just fine and dandy....even Martha Radditz. (wonder if Marths’s reporting from front lines is over?)

Krauthammer just spoke on immigration, coincidentally. He says build a fence! It’s simple. It works. The Israelis proved it works. Just do it.

Any legislation that legalizes the status of those who broke our laws by entering our country illegally and allows them to stay and work here is amnesty. We must not only prevent the Democrats and some moderate Republicans from hijacking the meaning of the word amnesty, but the public must be made aware about the true impact of an amnesty. The Heritage Foundation concluded that the cost of amnesty would be $2.6 trillion just for increased entitlement program costs. And the number of additional LEGAL immigrants who would join those who were the recipients of amnesty through chain migration, i.e., family reunification, would approach 70 million over a 20-year period, assuming there are only 12 million illegal aliens. We cannot assimilate such numbers. An amnesty would destroy the United States of America with the stroke of a pen.

And the Reps are nuts if they think this will help them gain Hispanic voters. What they are doing is just adding more Dem voters cementing their status as the permanent majority party.

Just listen to what Eliseo Medina, SEIU International Executive Vice President, said in 2009 about the political impact of amnesty. It is truly chilling.

Anyone who has been through basic training will remember the carry drills,
where you had to lift someone, who usually rode on your back, and walk/
attempt to run with them.

Not easy, even in your youth, when power was king....
