Supporters of a guest worker program that would let illegal immigrants stay in the United States said Tuesday they don't have enough Senate votes to overcome objections from conservatives who oppose the measure on grounds it amounts to amnesty.

We Californians know it to be true.
Haha...Undernet?

Seems the MSM has been exposed again.
Now we have a communist rally on May 1st in support of illegal alien movement.
(BTW: May 1 is also the american bar associations "law day" celebration....)

It's the Big Times. Bad ideas and bad numbers don't last the first debate. They are tough on each other and play for keeps. Don't look at the photo ops as representative of what goes down there. Check it out.
