I turned it on and had to turn it off. Leahy was pontificating and my stomach was churning. That sanctimonious, dishonest, prat.

In the WOT Bush is really strong, defiant, and a do-whatever-it-takes guy.

On everything else he seems to be a weak appeaser of the media and of lobby groups.

He is especially an appeaser on immigration.

How can these two attitudes exist in the same person?

Durbin is doing exactly what the Rats do the best, committing political suicide by proposing not making it illegal to assist ILLEGAL Immigrants.

Corynn up saying that Durbin's amendment is to broad and worried that some would be swept under the rug

He is presenting his own amendment to be more clear who should be covered

I strongly support Bush in WOT.

But when it comes to Illegal Immigration, he is AWOL, for the most part.

I don't know what he is thinking anymore.

Senator Cornyn should look at this CBS poll:

Do You Support A Congressional Bill That Would Make Illegal Immigrants Felons?

Yes 71%
No 29%

Leahy: "...we have laws already..."


[True, but Senator, there is little-to-no enforcement. So what good are they, when they aren't enforced? Make more laws? And not enforce them, either?]

Bush is speaking on immigration on FoxNews right now. Wouldn't everyone rather listen to him, than Specter?

Durbin is a selective idiot. "We already have laws"
What about the laws and the oath of office you took-SIR!
We have laws on the books, It is a crime to come in this country illegally, it's just not important for you to enforce. You are a selective idiot Durbin.

Consider the consequences of a violent French type demonstration in Los Angeles. Eye opening, isn't it?

I was living in Santa Monica during the early 1990's. There were rumors about roving Mexican gangs after the Northridge quake. People out in the Valley were very concerned about arson. Neighbors living in Encino, Calabasas were guarding their homes at night with rifles. Some had set up sniper positions on the roofs. They were waiting for Hispanic gangs to show up with gasoline cans. Picture that in your mind for a minute.

California is on the edge and ready to explode. People are fed up with illegals stealing jobs that students could do part time. Long time residents are p@ssed about Mexicans going to college free on the taxpayer. Fake identification papers are BIG business in Los Angeles. Millions are being made in the underground economy. Americans are angry and getting more angry each day.

Senator Specter is in a hurry to vote.

[He apparently doesn't want to stay until midnight.]
