WASHINGTON - Putting aside party differences, Senate Republicans and Democrats coalesced Thursday around compromise legislation that holds out the hope of citizenship to an estimated 11 million immigrants living in the United States unlawfully.

"We can no longer afford to delay reform," said Republican Sens. John McCain and Edward M. Kennedy in a statement that capped weeks of struggle to find common ground. [TRANSLATION: Amnesty and a path to citizenship for 11 million illegal aliens]

You should be. I wish I could say the same about mine (Boxer and Feinstein). Unfortunately, Feinstein has gone completely to the dark side. Prior to this, she had occasional flashes of lucidity. No more.

Wanna trade? I'll throw in tickets to a Dodgers game.

why is everyone up in an uproar? Has this even passed the senate yet? I don't think so... and then they have to meet with the house to finalize the bill right?

Yep, got to keep those 30 dollar a month cow hands down on that big Texas ranch of his.

Nope. It might be dead. Senator Frist is talking about it on C-Span right now.

It is a little hard to believe Frist any more, He appears to have taken lessons from John Flip Flop Kerry.

Frist went from strong to dud in a week

I find the holding of a dog's life and a human's life in equal regard to be profoundly disturbing, reminiscent of PETA crazies.

You find this dog's life less than that of a scummy gang member?

The guy deserved killin'. The dog didn't.

We also need to bolster the great family values of these INVADERS by opening a area outside of each town and city to provide prostitution.

"2006 will be of special interest to future historians studying the bloodless coup of the United States." Millions will now flood our borders. I've allready heard of reports of the same.

People who can organize 500,000 to march in LA, etc., can certainly do the same at the border. I hope the Governors and the Feds are ready for an invasion.. or the citizens will certainly do a fine job.. 'Don't mess with Texas'.. (or Arizona, for that matter ). Maybe, that is why McLame was pale on C-SPAN tonight.. The McKennedy bill is going down.

Good. It's about time Congress passed a comprehensive bill giving those who overstayed visas etc a chance at citizenship.

I'm all for it!

There are loop holes around the hiring bit too.

There's always loopholes in their legislation you could drive a truck through. They do it on purpose and then think they're fooling people.

I dunno. As I recall, the thread dealt with the gratuitous killing of a dog. Serial killers got their starts killing dogs for the fun of it.

He sure wouldn't be proud of your bitchin'-and-bellyachin'-all-the-time on this thread.

You ought to get yourself a dog. It would help your attitude.

You don't round them up , you arrest anyone who hires them . You take away the freebees and they will deport themselves.

What loopholes are you talking about, the one's in this so-called compromise bill? If not I still expect there to be a whole bunch of them in there.
