Not a comforting thought, eh?

Specter and Leahy

It could be worse. Right now it is Specter/Leahy. It could be Leahy/Specter.

'that would protect humanitarian organizations from prosecution for providing more than simple emergency aid to such immigrants.'

Ah, thank you republicraps for taking a hint from Dick the Turban.

George W had an incredible opportunity right after September 11th to mobilize our national guard troops on the Border to stop the influx of illegals (and terrorists) in the name of Homeland Security. There would have been little debate or outcry by the Left in the days after September 11th had he done what should have rightfully been done to protect Americans. What a wasted opportunity!!

I'm doubtful that this Bill or any meaningful immigration legislation will be hammered out during the remainder of his presidency.

"It could be worse. Right now it is Specter/Leahy. It could be Leahy/Specter."


And just how would that be different? It appears the committee is being run by Spector/kennedy/feinstein/leahy.

I just e-mailed AND wrote both OH Senators to oppose the senate bills and favor the Sensenbrenner bill. Got the standard boiler plate from DeWine, but it DOES indicate that he is answering mail on this and shows how serious they are feeling the heat.

Overhauling the nation's immigration laws "is not going to be easy," Bush said at the naturalization ceremony at Constitution Hall two blocks from the White House.

Is that a threat or a promise Mr. President?

"We will not accept enforcement-only approaches,"

Illegals get to choose what they will or will not accept?

Gee, that's a great premise to start from, huh?

"No one should claim that immigrants are a burden on our economy because the work and enterprise of immigrants helps sustain our economy," the president said.

This is so WRONG! What percentage of entitlements does he think they consume?!

In other words, business as usual. Various groups in our country can still flout our immigration laws. The Senate's idea of national sovereignty is a joke upon the American people.
