Pelosi supports quick passage of the bill. So do many others....Why can't they get behind the most important aspect of 9/11, illegal uncontrolled immigration and driver's licenses?

Yeah, right!

[John Thornton]

"But the fundamental question . . . . whether or not, for example, you issue a driver's license, that's a state matter and ought to be resolved by the state," Hamilton contended.

When it comes to protecting terrorists, every Democrat becomes a born-again Federalist.

National Security and Borders is a Federal issue. If I were govenor of California I would demand all tax dollars come to the state to be paid to the Federal government. No tax dollars could be collected by the federal government. No federal agents would be permitted to exercise authority in California without state approval. If the Feds wished to withhold Fed $$, California would withhold all taxes collected. The Feds would have to settle the border or they wouldn't get a dime!
Any Fed judge that wished to interfere would be arrested. 10th Amendment would prevail. Book 'em Dano!

Kean said a couple of times that "80% of Americans support passage of the bill."

I would venture to say that 80% of Americans have not heard of the bill and that of the 20% who have, 80% of them have not read it, and that of the 20% who have, 80% don't understand it. (Myself included).

Here's my question. The republicans are a majority.

Which republicans are against the drivers license ban. Let's have their names. Who are they? Inquiring minds want to know.

[seastay]

Who said we have to listen to the 9-11 commission anyhow, who elected them ? Tell them to apply for an international drivers license, at take a long drive ....

They bithc about these :one or two provisions" holding up the rest of the bill but fail to acknowledge that those provisions will never see the light of day if they aren't on this bill.

Any elected official who does not support closing the loopholes exploited by illegals and terrorists is a traitor and should be identified as such.

The so-called "loophole" of illegal aliens (people who don't belong here) being able to get documentation that integrates them into the fabric of American society is only the most important part of Homeland Security! Without that part, the rest of it is pretty much meaningless.

[AuntB]

"Vice chairman Lee Hamilton acknowledged that Sensenbrenner's provision was part of the 9/11 Commission's recommendations, but said closing the terrorist loophole wasn't the job of the federal government. "


Then just who's job is it????????? Good greif!

[spodefly]

BTTT

[dalereed]

As far as i'm concerned getting rid of the illegals and drivers licences is part of it and closing the borders is far more important than terrorist attacks.

If the illegals destroy our country and economy terrorist attacks don't really mean much.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

"We're very reluctant to see that whole bill held up just by this one provision," Commission chairman Tom Kean...

So now the 9-11 commission turns against its own recommendations, stabbing its supporters in the back. The ones holding this up are the ones opposing the commissions drivers' license recommendation. It's the one opposing common sense who is slowing things down!

Rush has been talking about this quite a bit. I think Hannity covered it, too. When the FR, Rush, and Hannity back up an elected official, whoever opposes this network of thought is in for some rough times.

Nothing like Democrats and RINOs singing together from the same songsheet.
