Maybe some Repubs are finally starting to worry about America, instead of keeping the White House happy. Alot more are needed.

It won't be long before someone arrives to tell us that we have to become more democrat than the democrats to prevent the democrats from taking over.

I like the Democrats Bill. (not Clinton, of course).
The Republicans in this Administration are making a Hugh mistake. They best hope a Democrat does not actually introduce a workable bill that does not include amnesty for Bushs beloved illegals from the southern Countries.
To: Proudly Republican
Unlike Nelson's no-amnesty plan, Hagel's original proposal would provide a way for undocumented workers now in the United States to work toward legal status. Which one is Democrat & which one is a Republican?

My worst nightmare: Hillery backs closing the border!

"To stem the "flood" of illegal immigrants into the United States, Sen. Ben Nelson said today that he soon will introduce legislation calling for 3,000 new Border Patrol agents, boosting Customs officers by 1,200 and denying amnesty for the millions of undocumented workers now in the country."
I think you're missing a '0' in each of those numbers, Ben, but God love ya for trying to address this problem.

Nelson must be in hot water with the Demoscats.
What with actually proposing a tangible alternative versus the usual dose of hatred.
But then let's not get too carried away. Who knows what other items are boiling in Nelsons file? Is he doing this to avoid serving hard prison time?

This issue can be an election-winner for those smart enough to come down on the correct side of it.

Add: Also. Notice how a whole pack of Dems was ready at the birth of this post to chime in with "related" comments and cat calls?
A conspiracy you say?

I have been watching this issue go no place for years. Even 9-11 wasn't enough to get action. I have come to the conclusion that neither the Democrats or the Republicans have the political courage to secure the borders so if anything is going to happen, it will have to be done on a bipartisan basis. The sooner the better...

Hillary will campaign on this issue. Blah, blah, blah, see my tagline. If you want to beleive hillary then you deserve her.
BTW, pure grandstanding from ben nelson, remember he votes for harry reid to be Senate majority leader.
The best immigration bill out there is Kyl/Cornyn.

It will be funny to watch you defend it even after all its teeth are removed.

Under his proposal, any illegal immigrant who is arrested would automatically be deported. Businesses that employ illegal immigrants would be prosecuted. However, he said, his bill would not authorize raids on businesses that might be employing undocumented workers, which has been an issue in Nebraska's meatpacking industry.
I'm having a hard time reconciling these two sentences.

To: Dane
I agree, but the President seems to think McCain/Kennedy is the best way to go. Because of that, many of us are starting to think that a third party is the best way to go.

"The Republicans in this Administration are making a Hugh mistake."
Lotsa bills being introduced. None yet out of committees.
Nelson can introduce his bill, with impunity. The Republicans will vote against this bill, claiming their party has better bill(s).
But at some point, we the voters meaningful deserve action.
Notwithstanding the whacko progressive takeover of the democrat party, I think their candidate will be closer to the center.
And the democrat candidate may well use this issue, to run against Bush's "do nothing" policies. The democrat will claim the Republican is another "do nothing" type.
Bottom line is both parties are "do nothing" on immigration.
Millions of illegals work, attend schools, get medical care and fill up prisons.
It would take hundreds of thousands of personnel to find and expell those millions.
Ain't gonna happen. Sorry to disappoint.

Nelson is a dem.

Yes he is, but Hagel is not. At least Hagel is on the bandwagon, even though in a patronizing way to the open-border repubs.
