Which is an infinitely preferable outcome to the disaster that awaits us if this amnesty monstrosity is enacted into law.

You got a lettuce-picking machine in your garage?

Who is going to pick the lettuce once the 12 million illegals are made citizens and refuse to work for slave wages any longer?

It's a well-known fact that a pro-american, hard-working Vietnamese person wishing to come to the USA legally and applies for an American VISA in his own country has less than a 5% chance of actually being accepted due to the large number of illegal mexicans the US has to absorb. Is that fair?

Just shows how little you know about agriculture. First of all, Farmer Bill is not eating from the government trough. "Farmers" like ConAgra are. They're the ones hiring illegals. Not the small family farms like Farmer Bill.

Well, that's not the only ones hiring illegals here in upstate New York. Farmer Bill is, with impunity. The local law enforcement does nothing, because the illegals aren't "committing felonies." So, in upstate NY, Farmer Bill is exactly who's hires the illegals.

> A - M - N - E - S - T - Y ..... Which, when translated means,,,, I'm changing to the CONSTITUTION PARTY.

Much as it pains my heart to abandon my party-- I may have to join you :-(

Certainly the GOP are not getting another thin dime out of me.

Alright, Archers-Daniels-Midland Bill.

I know. Not exactly a small farmer. More like a large union.

I'm only in favor of impeaching the President if he cheats to become President and it is proven. Other than that, I am NOT in favor of impeaching a President who was elected by the American people.

Treason is a pretty good reason too.

Youll get the amnesty. Good luck getting anything in return that will keep more illegals out.

It was Bush's platform for 2 terms. He ran on it. Where do you think Gore's "Lockbox" came from?

You know something? You don't like to answer questions.

So I'll ask this one more time, then I'm done with you:

Is not getting Social Security reform a high crime?

Yep; and I know in Colorado, there's tons of illegals being hired to clean wealthy/rich folks homes.

Twelve million unemployable hispanics are not going to vote for a fiscal conservative party.

Yes, straight, concise and to the point. And the kids of these people, who have watched their fathers work long and hard for little are not going to grow up and become Conservatives. They are going to be angry at the gringo and easily radicalized--especially if they make into our university system.

They've already broken the law by simply being here in the first place.

Treason

Yes, but the way the left has been re-defining words these days, I wanted to limit my answer to the basics. LOL

The latest poll I saw indicated that 73% of Americans are in favor of some sort of guest worker program. They also want the borders reinforced. That makes sense. If the House and Senate would choose that approach, a reasonable bill could be produced.

All they have to do is secure the border first, and things can move forward. They know that that approach would meet with the approval of the voters, but they don't want to go that route. Shouldn't be all that hard to figure out why.
