House Majority Leader John A. Boehner refused yesterday to rule out compromising with the Senate to expand the House border security bill to include a guest-worker program or provisions that opponents call "amnesty." "Let's wait and see what the Senate can produce," he told reporters yesterday when asked whether House Republicans would reject the Senate Judiciary Committee's proposal to allow the estimated 12 million illegal aliens now in the U.S. to seek citizenship after paying a fine.

FREE SPEECH.
It's ours, thanks to the Founders. Our to exercise and ours to tolerate, even when used UGLY against us by people in our great country ILLEGALLY.
Something has to give or there will be no bill.
Absolutely correct.
It's been a pleasure, my friend. This clown posse doesn't intimidate me. Despite their intellektuwal supereioridy!
I have no problem with that. However, the send 'em home crowd is completely unhinged. In addition, simply charging and convicting these folks as felons is a real feel good approach that really does nothing if you don't have the facilities to keep these folks.
Let's keep this honest. There are at least 20 million illegal aliens in this country now.
The 12 million figure comes from the OBL.
Personally, I get tired of watching that big lie propagated.
And this country used to be capable of deporting hundreds of thousands of illegals. Ike did it in the '50s, under what was called "Operation Wetback."
Our immigration laws aren't enforced because they're too hard to enforce. They're not enforced because our political elites don't want them enforced.
Since you're so handy finding polls, how about finding one that refutes this:
Asked whether they would favor "allowing illegal immigrants already working in the United States to register as guest workers for a fixed period of time, so that the government could keep track of them," 73% said they "favor"; 23% said "oppose"; 3% don't know.
73% of Americans favor a guest worker program, so this is evidence that the Bushbots are out of touch, the Democrats should be permitted to win control of Congress, and the President should be impeached.
It's rather mindboggling.
Bwahahaaaaa!! Oh God, please stop!! You're killin' me. [gasp, wheeze]
(Remember folks, this is the same goober who proclaimed himself a simple objective observer of the thread - right after his l'il posse pinged him.)
That was my point. If the percentage was that high two years ago, it's through the roof now, especially after all the protest we've seen lately.
Okay, if you want to make illegals felons, where would you keep them? How would you deport them? Even if you had the will to do it, you would need the logistical wherewithal to make it happen. No one on these threads has indicated how incarceration or deportation would happen. You have not done so either. Unless you can tell me how this will happen, don't talk to me about "will."
Indeed. But 'free speech' doesn't extend to foreign nationals invading our country and raising their country's banner over our public buildings.
As an academic, likely tenured, you don't have to worry about your job, do you? You can spout any nonsense you want, a la Ward Churchill, and still draw a paycheck.
You couldn't possibly be any further outside reality.
There is a word for people who are more concerned with Americans being able to get a decent living than with foreigners being able to get a decent living. That word is "patriot."
Allowing the country to be flooded by illegals drives down the price of labor and hurts working-class Americans. It's had a particularly disastrous impact in the black community.
Oh, come on, it shouldn't surprise you -- it's the same group on every single issue.
We need a take back Free Republic ping list. Anyone willing to debate facts, and avoid knee jerk platitude posts.
Unfortunately, you missed the substance of what I said, namely, that we need to enforce our existing laws against employing illegal aliens.
Dry up the cash, and a good portion of the illegal aliens would go home.
Make the environment inhospitable.
Right now, it's hard to imagine how the environment could be more inviting.
New Orleans has a lot of unused buses, maybe Nagin will loan them out.
Yes indeed, we established long ago that those rules were only in order for us new mods to ban people. Physician, heal thyself.
Say, speaking of etiquette, where exactly does this post fit in (no pun intended)?
Btw, are you a "fag" lover, sweetheart?
