THat’s a d****d fine question. All I can figure is that those are amendments, but I can’t figure out what the amendments propose.

WOULD SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO US CITIZENS WHY THERE IS A RUSH FOR AMNESTY. Why is this even being discussed? FUND the fence, build it and THEN come back and we can have a national debate about what to do with 11,000,000 illegal invaders.

I heard one of the critters saying earlier today that if we don't do something NOW, in a few years the illegal population will grow to 16 million. I find that disingenuous given that the open border DC critters and their media have been spewing the 11 million number for almost a decade. What has changed that will grow this illegal population by another 50% if we do nothing more than enforce the current law and fund the fence?

Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio have already explained it. It boils down to a.) Americans are lazy, b.) they won't work for penny-ante wages, c.) we're not "fertile" and d.) we're not good "family people".

Could it be any clearer?

I did that and it opened with information on the amendment.

However it would be a lot better to Kill this bill before it is longer and even more worthless than obamacare.

If we can not kill it here and now I hope the House will make it DOA. I also hope the House will not pass their own version, just let this one stop.
