KEYWORDS: amnesty; immigration
"Beattie characterized the senators' requests for more time to evaluate and debate the overhaul of the nation's immigration system as "absolutely ridiculous to me."

"Then he played the recall card: "Good night. Maybe it's time to recall and get some people who understand what we need in business because in businesses we need some immigration changes."

The Chamber of commerce is pretty ballsey to attack the Americans who have been most supportive of them.

I wonder how happy they’ll be when their illegal cattle join the occupy movement.

Maybe we need people in business who understand the Constitution and the sworn duties of elected officials.

What is she, the Mafia?

Federally elected officials cannot be recalled. Sometimes we'd like to, but we have to wait for primaries like everyone else.

Gad. Utah is damn near Mexico North now. How many more illegals do the farmers need?

Maybe if they paid enough to live on, you would have 5 families living in one house and (rest of rant of illegals)

And more power to Hatch & Lee if they resist this attempt to stampede and blackmail. If anything, voting AGAINST this thinly disguised amnesty will increase the number of folks supporting them.

This potential bill must be in trouble if the Chamber is having to fall to this level...maybe they got some marching orders from Harry Reid & George Soros?

The Chamber of Commerce has been the sworn enemy of those of us against amnesty for at least a dozen years.

To Hell with the Utah Chamber of Commerce.I want Comprehensive Immigration Reform as well.I want these Parasites sent to where they came from.

They don’t deserve a reward for breaking into our country.

If the Republicans pass that bill the Chamber of Commerce wants.The Republican Party is going to get very lonely.

Though that may happen anyway if they don’t grow a pair and start reinforcing the Second Amendment.

Any business-related group who feels that we need more uncontrolled barely literate illegal invaders is on my ignore list.
No use for them whatsoever.

If I were a citizen of that city, and had business with any company, I would first ask if the are members of the Chamber of Morons and if yes move on and tell them why.

Completely correct, but not entirely responsive to the sentiment.

They can all be impeached.
By whom, when and how is an entirely different issue, but addressing the same problem.

WE NEEDED THIS 25 YEARS AGO, BUT THERE WAS NO POLITICAL WILL.

That's a completely different matter. I suspect we both have a list already drawn up.

What’s even more amusing is that is there is no recall for STATE officials in Utah so you can’t just say they are ignorant of the federal constitution. LOL. What retards.
