mericans are being treated with comtempt by a Congress composed of mostly idiots who traded on whatever personality they had to gain votes to catapault into a cushy career. They allow legislation like this illegal housebreaker bill to go forward while the Obamacare nightmare lies festering like a boil ready to pop. They are eager to get this mess behind them that resulted from deliberately not enforcing the policing of our southern borders which allowed the castoff scum of other nations' societies to illegally enter our nation to sop up all the benefits shoveled out by an out of control government to morons incapable of getting out of bed.

Then there's the semi-secret spy center under construction in the Utah hinterlands that will crawl into our lives beginning this fall. They completely ignore this most important act that is truly aimed at dissenting Americans to go forward without comment.

This entire government is rotten to the core.

When one considers the hundreds of thousands of Americans killed in wars to free other nations and think about their deaths to protect the 'Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave' then see the parade of nincompoops their deaths empowered it makes one want to puke their guts out! Consider what now sits pompously in the White Hut and those who play their complicit roles in Congress....they died for this; for these? They died so a phony nobody hellbent on killing America could be elected and reelected to destroy that which they believed they were fighting and dying?

Memorial Day doesn't mean a damn thing to this nation any longer!

Granting themselves immunity? Oops .. sorry ... they already have that.

with trillions in taxpayer dollars at stake.

The senate says ... it's not our money.

[Max in Utah]

Good rant!

Good, because I agree with every word. We’re in a hell of a fix these days.

[Mouton]

I agree with most of what you stated but Memorial Day is still what it was, remembrance of our war dead. Perhaps you might consider substituting Independence Day (4th of July for the low information types) and/or Constitution Day as not meaning anything anymore.

I wish to add one thing to your prescient piece too, not only are we getting the scum from elsewhere, unskilled and under motivated, we are paying their way once they get here. This fact virtually sets my hair on fire on this issue as my predecessors arrived here and either supported themselves or were taken care of by their sponsors who were not the taxpayers of the country but relatives, friends, or employers.

With all these problems and misdeeds and scandals coming out the past few months Obama needs a legacy win badly right now and many traitors in the GOP appear ready to hand it to him.

Hispanics will give Obama all the credit for this if it passes and will just assume (correctly) that the GOP is just selling out to business who want more potential workers.

The Senate voted yesterday to move forward on the Gang of Eight’s immigration plan—which would grant amnesty to 11 million illegal immigrants.

As if this were limited to this mythological "11 million."

Funny how that number has remained static for more than a decade, as thousands more have continued to stream across our unsecured borders daily.

Last time they pulled this nonsense the number was three times what they promised.

Figure on at least 33 million availing themselves of this amnesty should it take effect.

And remember this, once they've done it, they will again draw in ten times that number.

Ready for the next wave, which will almost certainly be equal to our current population?

Hey, China and India have hundreds of millions to spare!

Why wouldn't they come, secure in the knowledge that American sovereignty and the rule of law are a dead letter?

[PLD]

Remember folks vote come November and get these criminals out of office it might be to late for this but they will be passing all sort of other crap we do not want..with these 11million how much of a chance is there for us to get our country back..when we know they will vote democrat.once the bunch of thieves and rapist get here our country will go to pot it will all (except Texas) look like Detroit see what that place looks like now..

It is not immigration law that is broken, it is immigration law enforcement that is broken.

[Resolute Conservative]

I only hope that the thinking is to let it out for a floor vote so they can kill it outright and not let it drag on.

South Carolina State Senator Lee Bright:

"On immigration, Senator Marco Rubio says that amnesty for illegals should come before border security. How can something so obviously flawed seem logical to some people?"

Revolt is coming.

And in exchange, they’d be assured through this legislation that the laws are going to be enforced.

Several million new voters might not want those laws to stand.
