An updated version, filed just before the bill went to the committee markup, stretched 867 pages in length.

I cannot take credit. Another poster’s unique nickname for Pelosi.
However, I will take credit for a nickname I gave Newt Gingrich.
Newtus Agustus, the pompous windbag.

The ‘GANG OF EIGHT’ is a group of 6 WORTHLESS IDIOTS who should be run out of the senate for being there to long, a TRAITOR to his country (mccain) and a LIARing jr senator who wants to be president but is TO STUPID to realize that he just blew any chance he had of getting the nomination.

Well. I guess they will have to “fast track it” to ensure that nobody - that’s nobody - knows what the hell they’re signing!

Probably a half hour between delivery and vote is sufficient!

Reminds me of Mafia Kingpins meeting to see how much of the bounty each will get..

None of the eight care one iotta about the sovernity of this country...they’re ready to hand it to any who invade this precious land.

I am so sick of politicians masqurading as “servants” to the people when they only ones they serve are each other and those who can keep them in office. They ALL want the Hispanic vote....which would not be an issue had we established borders as every other country does..and enforced the laws we have.

This is absolutely a disgusting group of men...screw em!

....”interests of illegals ahead of Americans”....

Hispanic population is no different than the Islamic invasion. Politicians know the American people are not so easily led anymore...and Americans are fed up with the lot of them.

So they bring in the hoards, and when their numbers are sufficient...the American people’s voice will be silenced in the background of their roar. They’ll give them all we have and they’ll then vote for this creeps!

I do think this country is indeed lost to the hoards...both in our Government...(illegally)..and on our land (illegally).

They know exactly what they’re doing. It’s we the sheeple that are being kept in the dark.
