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.
As negotiators worked on a compromise to let those who have been here longest remain, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said a majority in the 100- member Senate support his and Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's proposal to provide green cards to illegal immigrants after they've worked in the U.S. for six years.

I could start by slinging around the "S" word to start with.
As for burning crosses on the WH lawn, I'm sure Sheets Byrd would be more than willing to show them how to do it. It would be a trip down memory lane for him.
Pressure should be applied to the powers that be to enforce the laws already on the books if they do nothing this year. For example, hiring an illegal is already a crime and comes with heavy fines.
keep writing. We all have to keep writing and calling. Get off our asses and protest like the beaners.
labor is 7% of the retail price of lettuce.
Lettuce is $1/lbs. If lettuce pickers are now paid $3/hour and if you raise their pay to $15/hour thats an increase of 500%.
That will increase a lb. of lettuce from $1/lbs. to $1.35/lbs.
Your $20/head is absurd. BTW, in 1992 we had 2 million illegals, today we have 11 million. The price of lettuce was lower in 1992.
You know, I've never considered myself a racist, but I'm willing to learn. And Teddy's quote is Nationalistic NOT racist. But, I mean, if they're gonna keep calling me one, maybe I should start acting like one.

zzzzzzzzzzzz
well said
Good news for us, bad news for Sen. McCain...
I agree with you. They should be enforcing the laws on the books NOW!!!
The title seems to conflict with McCain's statement.
Nothing will happen to the illegals. Jorge and Vicente have already shaken hands on that. We will continue to be forced to support them and those that come after them unless we elect Senators and Reps (and a President) who will actually represent American citizens and start enforcing THE EXISTING LAWS.
Boohoo poor John
I've been living and working legally in the U.S. for almost 12 years and I am still waiting for my green card application to be processed. There is no way these law breakers should be granted green cards when legal immigrants can't get them as easily as McCain and Kennedy propose!
Support our Minutemen Patriots!
Be Ever Vigilant!
That is the one that would send them packing. However, the Catholic Church in my area would burn our town down if we tried to do something like that. The leaders of our churches have sold their souls to Mexican take over, but not the members. Most are furious.
