Army, it stands for Bend over here it comes again.

[unixfox]

I suggest everyone contact their Congressmen, NOW!

Like that's gonna ever work.

[Pylot]

This is going no where.

The drunk Kennedy would have you believe he is creating a line 10 million deep, patiently awaiting immigration. Nonsense.

The problem is that the Senate has been innundated with angry phone calls, faxes, emails and letters from every day Americans. They are not going to approve something that can not be reconciled with the House.

This bill from the sell out crowd can not be reconciled with the House. So the cowards in the senate are not going to spend the capital to support it.

Keep your protest coming. Joing us at www.numbersusa.com and help to keep the pressure up.

It stands for the same in the AF. ;-)

[RockinRight]

I'd probably accept something that at least did something to stop the flood of more coming in!

I think we should auction off citizenship to the highest bidders.

REPLY:

I DON"T.

Citizenship is not some cheap prostitute that an illegal law breaker can have whenever they feel the urge to put out the cash.

We are not the same country now as we were 200 years ago or even 50 years ago.

I happen to prize my citizenship and don't like the idea of smug elitists idealists giving away what my relatives have given their lives trying to save.

I see this citizenship give away as nothing more than an ungrateful airhead chattering class dissing 220 years of patriotism.

Giving away ones birthright for a few pieces of silver is sickening.

Read my post at 326.

When people don't have to work for what they get they tend not to appreciate what some of us cherish dearly.

Giving away ones birthright to be politically correct is downright unpatriotic.


Lots of good people have died over the years so some present day citizens, ignorant and unappreciative of Americas history can give away for bargain basement prices what other died to protect.

I say piss on this amnesty plan.

Papers what papers we dunt need any stinking papers.

[Serenissima Venezia]

Will Frist's bill stand the way it is or can a 'guest worker' program be added to it?

[cinives]

Putting a Dim in their place won't help either. Try another strategy - like getting a non-RINO to win in the primaries.

[cinives]

depends on what he means by "show an understanding of US government" - he might mean where to apply for food stamps, free housing, and medical care courtesy of the US taxpayer.

"Papers what papers we dunt need any stinking papers."

then you dunt need no stinkin' job.

[EagleMamaMT]

Is this a real bumper sticker, and if so, where can I get a bunch of them?

[Serenissima Venezia]

I have learned to enjoy trimming plants and even pulling weeds. Something about being outside in the sunshine with my hands in the dirt is relaxing.

It's mowing the lawn, though, that I'd like to find a legal gardener to do. But for now, I have slave labor (a teenager), so all's well.

[cinives]

There's about $839Billion things wrong (projected over the next 10 years) with the new medicare prescription drug entitlement.

You are no conservative if you like more entitlement spending. Why shouldn't their families help them out if they need it ?

You sound like other British folk I know who grew up with the British national health service - you know, Americans are stupid because we don't think taxpayers should have to fork out for someone else's health care and other socialist type thinking.

[Serenissima Venezia]

I agree. And it's obvious that the illegals' first loyalty isn't to this country - look at all the Mexican flags, the sense of entitlement they have instead of gratitude, and that they don't even teach their children the language of this country.

[itsahoot]

and if you're conservatives, I think I'd faint.

Well just keel on over Peachy, you have no idea what a conservative is.

Neither Bush the first or Bush the 2nd are Conservatives. The main reason Bush the elder failed to get reelected is that he said he would continue the Reagan Revolution, he didn't and we inherited Jimmuh Carter.

You want a Hillary, or maybe something even worse, then just keep on blindly following the RINO line.

The time to hold the line is now, or just watch the Republican party flush itself down the drain, and then wonder why.

I was a Reagan supporter when the moderates forced Ford on us, another pretend Conservative that could not get elected. Bush the younger got reelected because of Kerry, not because of his record, think that over.

Will Frist's bill stand the way it is or can a 'guest worker' program be added to it?

As a matter of principle it can be amended. But Frist cut off a good deal of the amendment range with his introduction of a cloure motion, as well as calling for a DIFFERENT measure (lobbying reform) to be debated before the cloture vote on the Border Control bill.

As a practical matter, there is so much contention about the details of a suitable guest worker program, that bringing discussion of that to the Senate flor won't happen. The Judiciary Committee has itsel;f pretty well knotted up on that discussion.

[Serenissima Venezia]

But all is not lost: Tancredo et. al., in the House is our silver lining. They won't let this thing go through and acted veryquickly to let the Senate know it. Passing the bill in the Senate Judiciary Committee will hopefully be political suicide. Especially if we all call and fax over the next 10 days. See post #255 for all the phone numbers.

This is my first try at posting a link to another thread, so cut me some slack if it doesn't work!
