Immigration Reform Markup
Sen. Arlen Spector (R-PA) chairs a full Judiciary Committee meeting to mark up pending legislation including a draft bill on comprehensive immigration overhaul. Also, the committee will vote on a bill to televise Supreme Court proceedings and judicial nominations to federal courts.
MON. ON C-SPAN AT 10AM ET
Yes, but they must apply to be part of the program from their home countries. Also, the guestworker program has no path to citizenship, unlike the other bills. It also requires them to leave after a set period of time, and significantly increases enforcement both on the border and the interior.
Diane Feinstein is going senile... she speaks so slowly AND FROM A SCRIPT!
This is a blather fest. All these Senators are multi-millionaires and are going to sell us out. Our only hope is the House. Di Fi's husband is worth at least 100 million from doing business in China
Leaky doesn't like Diane's amendment on the tunnels
Says that a property owner could face jail time for having a tunnel in their property
POP BEADS???? LOL
I hope there's not a clerical error between bills or they'll impeach Bush.
What the hell is Patrick Leahy rambling on about? What a joke. These idiots are out of touch, just looking for TV face time
Whatever comes out of THIS committee will have to be voted on by the whole Senate, after substantial (I am sure), debate...
Then, whatever bill the Senate DOES vote for will be sent to the House, where two groups of conferees will try to reconcile the two bills, whice are likely to be VERY DIFFERENT...
THAT is going to be the meeting I want to see---because that is where the real fireworks is going to occur, IMHO>
These Senators are wasting time. They want to look like they CARE. Under the border tunnels are terrible but not a major factor
I think we can win in the House.
I go along with GWB on
"GET IN LINE" if you want
to apply for citizenship.
Further...I would add
NO handouts from the public
doles UNTIL you are a citizen!
I need to read the wording in Diane's amendment
Leaky might have a point about property owners being charged with a crime
Or .. they could be playing good cop/bad cop
The problem with these Senators is that they can't be trusted
I agree. It is another diversion tactic that will resolve nothing and the illegals will continue to cross and build their presence until in my opinion there is an attempt by the people to launch a Civil War. Our government will never allow a Civil War to happen. You will see our military (tanks and all) and the police take to the streets to prevent that.
Seems Kyle is concerned with the wording of this amendment also
Uhhhh.....is this is all about landowners who "knew" or "should have known" about tunnels....this is a slippery slope; there are landowners who "know" that illegals are crossing on their land, but their hands are tied to do anything about it....now they're talking about "forfeiture of proerty to the government"????
If it ever descends to a civil war, then the battle is indeed lost. I think it already has been. When you see the crowds mobilized in LA, Phoenix, Denver, etc., you realize the extent and size of the numbers involved. A guest worker program is really an admission that we cannot control our borders. There is a lack of political will by our representatives to make the hard decisions. Now it is too little, too late. Now we need to control the numbers so they can be assimilated more easily.
LOL
Amnistia
To give them 'full rights' is little difference than giving all Mexicans or Chileans or Nigerians or Chinese, etc., full rights. So what if they aren't actually in the USA yet. Don't they have just as much right to get 'full rights'?
[That is the extreme of where the 'full rights for illegals' ends up. It becomes a nightmare for the American citizenry, and a blessing for the UN. It destroys the sovereignty of this Nation.]
