We have lost this battle to the very officials we elected. There is nothing standing in the way of this program being passed and signed into law. Freepers, we have lost our beautiful America, and the loss came from within.
Someone please tell me again why I should vote for these a$$hats.
Every two years we get an opportunity to correct mistakes. Maybe we should be paying attention to the primary elections this year. Primary turn-out is notoriously light, particularly in a midterm year, and that's an opportunity to vote out those who have forgotten who they work for.
The RNC will have to back the winner of the primary - so why not vote when there may really be a choice.
Why it was abandoned, I don't know, but suspect it stopped being enforced when Caesar Chavez started organizing the farm workers back in the late '60's. You know, all those prune-pickers and apple-knockers and whatnot. Now they can drive around with new trucks instead of driving around an old '48 Chevy.
Discouraged soldier at Valley Forge, is that you?
This dismal state of afairs shows how both bought and paid for the republicans are by robber baron business interests whos only thought is cheap labor equals bigger profits. Let the nation be damned! Do not send them any of your hard earned money, they are not on your side. Now for the demomcraps. Pure evil permeates this spawn of satin.
Before you toss in the towel I suggest you join NumbersUSA.
Just because a bunch of politicians try to claim a coalition does not mean that the program gets voted in.
We have been very successful in the House at getting our way, the Senate battle is just warming up.
What are you talking about? Is your goal a "white only" america or something?
The fact is we have around 10 million mexicans here, and they aren't going anywhere. There's no place to send them to live, and there's not 10 million workers willing to take their place for any price. And if we did attempt such a deportation the US would be portrayed in the same light as Nazi Germany and it's "Final Solution". And although that's a bit of a stretch, we'd certainly deserve some serious criticism for inhumane treatment.
Jon Kyl's idea of extra border security AND guest worker program is the only one that has a chance of working. A carrot and stick process. The bottom line is that we must make it easier to for mexican workers to be legal than not.
But if you had dreams of riding america of mexican workers, then give it up. Illegal or not, they're staying, because there are no good alternatives.
It is important not to give up now. Anybody here, whether you have been intimately involved with this issue up to this point, must act. Join organizations like Numbersusa, send faxes, emails, letters, make phone calls, organize support among family and friends, and have them do the same. Get the message out there, oppose McCain/Kennedy, and keep fighting. We have no other choice.
Remember, this article is from a business journal. They are shills for cheap labor, and open-borders activists like McCain and Kennedy. Don't be discouraged by this.
There is a very big difference between the McCain/Kenedy plan and the Kyl/Cornyn plan.
The McCain/Kenedy plan is something that we must fight. The Kyl/Cornyn plan does not appear to be an amnesty plan and is something I could support in conjunction with a solid plan to make our immigration laws enforcable.
On a side not, maybe we should get some Mexican guest workers to replace McCain and Kennedy and send them to Mexico.
Tell it to the Serbs.

Perhaps if the anti-immigration crowd would stop opposting every single bill, even the ones that give them almost everything they demand, something like McPain's bill wouldn't have a chance of passing.
McCain has got to go!!!
Phone companies? They sell the disposable phones and phone cards--they clean up will illegals.
Western Union and other "envios dinero" services.
Are they donating to the pro-lawbreaking side of the aisle? Maybe it's time to check opensecrets.org and find out how the money is flowing.
They have sold America for a bowel of Pottage. A Pox on all their houses
Constitution Party here we come !
Well 80% of Americans DON'T back a guest worker program. Time for me to get back to work faxing my elected officals.
Stop the "racist invasion"!
