This is crap!
I hope those three Republicans never see re-election!
Let's see if the tancredo faction in the House will compromise somewhat on a guest worker program as described above, or keep fast to keep the money flowing into their PAC's.
If this legislation has Teddy's approval, it means the rest of the Judicial committee wimped out. Too bad the President does not have the power of the veto....
If we grant amnesty between 25 and 30 million illegal immigrants will take advantage of the opportunity. When that happens, the border will simply cease to exist as millions flood into the U.S.
Kiss your nation good-bye folks. It was nice while it lasted.
I'm writing the RNC and cc'ing a bunch of other groups to not expect a dime from me ever again if this legislation passes. Over, finished, through and out.
A bill that actually encourages more in the future.
That one point should be hung around every proponent's neck until election day. Repubs will pick up seats.
Hey, this is your sellout CONgress that virtually everyone of you voted for their last election. Thanks to you all we get these POS. Of course, this is no big deal to you FReepers. And GW was the guy that many of you at one time - when some of us told you to beware of - wanted on Mt Rushmore. I AM DONE. THIS REPRESENTS NO GOVERNMENT. IT IS TIME FOR A FULL OUT REVOLUTION. Or sit on your a$$ & let it all crumble.
Nothing was better than this crap!
It's going to be up to the House to kill this damn thing.

As I understand it they started with the McCainneddy Shamnesty and amended to also include both the AgJobs Amnesty and the DREAM Act Amnesty.
I believe they also expanded every category of existing guest worker visa and completely uncapped the numbers for nurses and for math and science students to unlimited numbers.
Arlen Spinctor, the smurphy Lindsey Graham and Sam Brownback plus two other Republicans by proxy voted with Teddy Kennedy.
Jon Kyl and Jeff Sessions showed quite a bit of courage bucking the trend. I believe Cornyn also voted against it and given what a huge fan of amnesty he is, you know it is bad!

WTF ????? I thought we didn't negotiate with terrorists.
All Americans ILLEGALS wanted fairness and they got it this evening.
There ya go, I fixed it!
Too bad the weaklings just happen to be Senators.
FRIST FOR PRESIDENT! DOWN WITH PRESIDENT BUSH! I AM SO SORRY THAT I CAMPAIGNED FOR HIM IN THE FIRST CAMPAIGN DURING THE PRIMARIES.
I'm surprised they didn't put in provisions of land seizures of long time American citizens to help our newer citizens get a head start on their new status in the US.
Our best pal Arlen at work again...
DeWine, Specter, and Graham should be thrown out of office on their asses.
