Although Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist proclaimed “a huge breakthrough” Thursday in the Senate’s tortuous struggle to pass an immigration reform bill, the measure is a long way from being sent to the president's desk for his signature.
The Senate bill would create a path for illegal immigrants to become legal residents of the United States. It would mandate that illegal immigrants who have been in the United States for more than five years pay a $2,000 fine, demonstrate knowledge of the English language, pass a criminal background check and meet other requirements.
Herein lies our victory and our Fight!
But even if the bill is passed by the Senate, {{{Sensenbrenner’s opposition could kill it when it gets to the House-Senate conference. }}}
Let us make sure it does! Do NOT ever let up day to day in calls/faxes!
We respect Sensenbrenner, Tancredo and more and THIS is how we can show our support!
This will break your heart!

It’s not about wanting people to suffer. It’s not about ethnicity, prejudice or a lack of compassion.
When discussing the dispute over whether or not to strengthen the border between Mexico and California, one must abandon fears of being labeled as racist or callous and acknowledge that this bill is simply addressing an issue of fairness.
To begin with, illegal immigrants do not pay income tax; American citizens do. Though California is vastly richer than Mexico, the loss of taxes from thousands of immigrants is taking its toll. As our middle class shrinks, our deficit grows and our poor get poorer, it is not fair that our impoverished should inadvertently support others in a similar situation.
Illegal immigrants are unable to obtain health insurance, causing an overcrowding in emergency rooms that becomes yet another tax burden on the general public. Overcrowding can become a serious problem in local public schools, as it raises the student/teacher ratio. Possible language barriers may slow down the progress of a class as a teacher tries to keep students on the same page.

Recently Sen. Clinton appeared before the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, where she spoke about (what else) illegal immigration.
Said Hill: "I realize I would be a criminal, too. My staff would be criminal. We help people with all kinds of problems," to which the audience chuckled knowingly.
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King responded that the only way the House bill would make her a criminal is if she was a "coyote," or an illegal immigrant smuggler.

Swinging a machete in a threatening way could soon be a punishable offence in the state of Virginia.
The Virginia legislature is crafting a bill that applies specifically to machetes, as absurd as that sounds. The reason is that machetes are a favourite weapon of the Mara Salvatrucha, or MS- 13, which is among the most infamous and dangerous street gangs in the United States.
Founded in Los Angeles in the 1980s by El Salvadorans, MS-13 has spread across the US like the tentacles of an octopus, and is blamed for carrying out such heinous crimes that laws are being tailored to control the organization.
The violence includes the decapitations of victims, especially rival gang members, and the chopping off of hands.
