I'm sure you are looking forward to the day when a rep from the Detroit area delivers the first speech in Arabic, right?
I suppose it's now OK for any Senator to use whatever foreign language they may know of, to conduct official business on the Senate floor, in any foreign language they deem appropriate. Like the U.N.for example.
Maybe it's time to bring in the interpreters and headsets into the Senate and Congress, just so no one feels left out. That way, we too can conduct our business as the U.N. does.
Maybe it's time to bring in a couple of wide screen TV monitors into the Senate, to broadcasting what is being said in 20 different languages. Since so many of our govt business forms are now in foreign languages, it seems only fair.
Look at it this way, Joe: it gives you something else to b*t*h about.
Your reply wasn't responsive to my post. You're sure that Gonzales repudiates La Raza's agenda and is against an open-borders policy?
Perhaps you should actually READ the post before you reply, eh?
Live with it.
I don't reply to post that are FOS; so far, you've not posted one factual sentence. It's all been wild accusations with no foundation, mostly unfounded diatribe and misinformation.
Can you name one of them?
My post was a question to you. You insinuated Gonzales does not back the Laraza open-borders agenda. I asked you point-blank if that was the case. You don't respond. Are you telling us Gonzales, as AG, will work diligently to enforce the immigration laws and put an end to illegal immigration?
One would certainly be welcome to. It's a political statement, which is what the Senate floor is used for, politics. It's a lot more dignified than Harry Reid reading his history of Searchlight, Nevada.
Oh great. Now I am opposed to immigrants. I am a first-genertion myself. Your depiction is both wrong and vulgar.
Could you explain in very general terms what Tancredo's anti-immigration agenda is?
He said under oath that he would enforce the laws of this country.
What's so hard to udnerstand?
You do know the CONGRESS makes the laws, right?
Ever been to Miami?
"He said under oath that he would enforce the laws of this country."
So, despite La Raza's endorsement, we can expect Gonzales to actively support border control?
"What's so hard to udnerstand? You do know the CONGRESS makes the laws, right?"
You do know the ATTORNEY GENERAL is supposed to enforce the laws and that it is illegal for immigrants to enter the country who have not received permission to do so, don't you?
What's so hard to udnerstand about that?
Immigration is not even the part of the DOJ anymore. That is under Homeland Security.
Take it up with Michael Chertoff, if he is confirmed.

FGS, give it a rest; you're parsing well enough to make Bill Clinton jealous.
And besides, the president is entitled to who he wants as AG; so far, he's done pretty well without your input.
Pesky facts!
I'd rather hear a Senator praising the vote in Iraq in Arabic than Ted Kennedy denouncing the President in an incoherent rage in English. Frankly, I might understand more of what the Arabic-speaker had to say, and I can't speak a word of Arabic.
"And Old Kennedy ... sDJrhwaoihgoisdh .. asihgahngjkrg .. ZXJFGKSGAOSRHGAOSGS!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Texans pride themselves on NOT speaking the "correct" version of English, don't they?
Exactly.
Good move.
