Mahony, who last month promised to defy legislation that would make helping illegal immigrants a crime, called on Catholics to pray and fast in solidarity with the estimated 10 million to 12 million undocumented living in the United States.

Those who had been in the country the longest, more than five years, would not be required to return to their home country before gaining legal status.

Suddenly all 11 million (not counting the other 10 or so million) will suddenly claim to have been here for 5 years or more.

I await the flames, but reading that piece makes me think this isn't such a bad bill, after all, since it requires they all get out--it's the "If they don't..." part I am most interested in.

[11th_VA]

So how hard is it to forge a utility bill to show they've been here the required amount of time???

They aren't called the stupid party for nothing ...

Deflection and eyewash.

Those who had been in the country the longest, more than five years, would not be required to return to their home country before gaining legal status. They would be subject to several tests, including the payment of fines and back taxes, and be required to submit to a background check, according to these officials.

The longer you have persisted in breaking the law,and violating our sovereignty, the better off you are. - tom

This cheap labor illegal legalization is political suicide by open borders Republicans. They are killing the GOP with this nonsense. The only hope for the GOP at this point: Adopt the House bill and prove you aren't for amnesty and open borders.

There best be a fence in there someplace.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

We are screwed again by the senate RINO's, I didn't even get a kiss or a reach around.

[Plutarch]

...clear the way for legal status and eventual citizenship for many of the estimated 11 million men, women and children living in the United States unlawfully.

Hmmm, I wonder if the English languauge with its nearly a million words, has a word for this?

Show of hands for those that believe that any criminal will not claim they have been here for over 5 years. Show of hands for those that believe that anything will done to any criminal that has been here less than 5 years. Show of hands that think continuing to vote for Republicans under the mistaken belief that they are conservative or will do anything of the sort has actually accomplished anything at all.

But please do remember to vote Republican in 2006. It's for a super-duper majority. As if that could ever make a difference.

[EternalVigilance]

So, as expected, Frist has sold us down the river.

Big shock.

Hah.

Pure, unadulterated amnesty.

[SeaBiscuit]

First sentence, Last word.. what didn't/don't they understand about that.

NormsRevenge, KUDOS for the great job you have been doing posting news. Much appreciated.

[Tzimisce]

...are we going to give them green cookies and toasters too?

The Senate - what a bunch of wimps. John McCain needs to be defeated...

[upchuck]

Majority Leader Wimp Bill Frist outlined the proposal after efforts at a bipartisan compromise...

He caves again. And Bill wants to be POTUS? Yeah, like that's gonna happen. The RATS will eat him alive.

Illegal immigrants in the United States less than five years but more than two would be required to go to a border point of entry, briefly leave and then be readmitted to the United States. As with the longer-term illegal, other steps would be required, these officials said.


IS THIS A JOKE?

[Clemenza]

Three thousand miles distant from the Capitol, Cardinal Roger Mahony asked Catholics to pray the Senate passes legislation allowing illegal immigrants to gain citizenship. The Los Angeles-based prelate said the debate marked "one of the most critical weeks in the history of our country."

Tell all the Fifth Columnist Bishops and Priests that they must declare whether or not they are more loyal to the US or to the Vatican.

100 years ago, Americans would have known what to do with Fifth Columnists like Mahoney.

[abner]

How about NO????

If they don't have the guts for NO, how about $30,000 per illegal in 10 days? ???? If no, then they get a FREE trip to Mexico!
