Senator Reid has just vowed to block any immigration bill because the minimum wage issue was not voted on.

If he prevents a vote on the bill, he might just save the Republican party from itself.

Republican Rep. Patrick McHenry (N.C.) is trying to extend the story’s shelf-life with a resolution commending the Capitol Police.

Shelf Life? She hasn't even been arrested yet. Novak wants this story to go away.

I will no longer vote for a Republican who does not strongly support effective enforcement of US boarders. I am in Massachusetts anyhow, so it means that I likely will no longer be bothered with having to vote, unless a viable third party comes about quick.

As a matter of fact, the Democrats, led by Reid, have blocked any votes whatsoever on amendments to this bill. What a whining hypocrite he is.

Don't let anything stop you from exercising your franchise. I live in Maryland, believe me I understand, but I've never missed a vote. The enemy would love that.

Self inflicted, this will not go away and will hurt the stupid party.

I hope the Senate version does die and maybe the "governing class" might just realize that what Americans want is the House version. No amnesty, strict border enforcement, stiff penalties for those who knowingly hire illegals and, sure enough, these people wil find their way back home. Let them demonstrate in the streets of Mexico for reform of that corrupt system.

This could play perfect in the Republican's hand, get a bill, any bill, on the floor at it's bare minimum and let the Rats block it. Amendments can always be added later, just concentrate on border security and enforcement.

Yep.

Anything touched by either of McCain or Kennedy is ANY thinking American's worst nightmare.

The trouble is, Frist allowed the Specter/Kennedy/McCain version, with the amnesty and guest workers and instate tuition for illegal aliens and all the rest, come to floor. That's what they're debating, at the same time as the Frist border control version. Yes, as hideous as it sounds, they're both on the floor at the same time. Check out C-Span.

I'm sure they go to bed dreaming of la raza reconquistas screaming at them and protesting them at every campaign stop. I think the larger protests sent this message. The govt. needs to deal with these insurgents.

The immigration issue could split blacks and unions away from the MSM-Dem Party, but instead the GOP forms a circular firing squad.

I'm watching it now and the only thing that I'm hearing is some Rats pulling the predictable stall tactic. They could easily pass the security part and enforcement and then deal with the 11 million next week. I had a leak in my hot water heater so I had to shut the water off but because Home Depot needed to order the one I wanted, I had to go 3 days without hot water but I certainly couldn't turn the old one back on.

I read your bio. Move to Florida and start to enjoy life. Great weather, year round work and NO STATE TAXES. That means you will get an immediate raise. Better politiicans.

The combination of these two issues into one bill is guaranteed to maximize political damage to Republicans.

How about maximizing damage to the United Staes of America?

The one thing that I will never understand (or maybe it's that I understand perfectly and the truth scares me) is why this is always a democrat or a conservative issue... because this is an issue about the future of our country. OUR country!!! Our weak-a$$ed "leadership" in the House and Senate need to forget about their jobs for a moment, and consider just why they sit in public office in the first place... To do what is best for the health of the Republic and its citizens. If they're unable to answer in the affirmative, it's time to throw them the hell out.
