Quisling: a synonym for traitor, someone who collaborates with the invaders of his country.
Ron H., you are correct that the tools of the cheap labor lobby are doing their best/worst to achieve an amnesty while simultaneously saving their seats of power. The Poison Pill tactic worked well for the previous administration for it's ends and for we Republicans/Conservatives to find this being attempted on us, during a time when the R's hold the majority, proves that those pushing amnesty KNOW it's wrong. The really disturbing thing is that they fear the wrath of their primary contributors over that of the constituents who put and keep them in office.
And there's the nub: the elected who succumb to greed and threats know that incumbent reelection has become more the rule than the exception when fewer citizens than ever bother to vote at all. But hey, if the Administration can run us into the ground (the record deficit, the sovereignty-sacrificing treaties, the allowance of binding dependencies, etc.) for it's buddies during a second term why can't they get a piece of the action?
We need a new leadership that puts the nation's interests above party and high-dollar contributors. If we, the citizens, don't address that soon all that has made America the icon of the last two centuries will be sold and given up piecemeal - like we have already become compromised on a production basis and continue to drop in native degree holders. Perhaps the worst thing is that most of our citizens have been raised as sheeple with a fear to "make waves" or disagree with the status quo...even while they see their property values dropping from the immivasion and their children forced to comply with Lowest Common Denominator levels of educational quality because too many of their ESL fellow students shouldn't even be here. Who wants their children sharing supplies with kids who have never been health-screened nor have ever had a basic inoculation?
The way I see it is that our representatives are risking our kids futures for the sake of their own convenience and careers. I'm offended to the point of turning purple when thinking about it, and I don't even have children of my own. Why aren't the people that do have kids doing more than sending checks to the people who are setting up a ruinous Third World future for their children? When will our citizens realize that there is a far higher bill to pay if one goes through life cowering at the possibility of being labeled a racist?

they're free services that the politicos do pay attention to. I'd rather do SOMETHING and lose than do nothing and have to say I never lifted a finger to change the outcome.
