Immigration Bill Stalls in Senate

WASHINGTON — The Senate sidetracked sweeping immigration legislation Friday, leaving in doubt prospects for passing a bill offering the hope of citizenship to millions of men, women and children living in the United States illegally.

If you notice, the Republicans united to pass this thing.

Trying to find out who actually voted for this thing.
It may not have been a roll call vote.

[Pukin Dog]

If you notice, Republicans united to make you THINK they wanted to pass this thing. There never was going to be a bill, only another opportunity for both sides to blame the other. Nobody wants a bill to actually happen, because when they do, one side gets credit, the other side gets blamed. Only when both sides are certain that they will get credit will anything be done.

THERE NEVER WAS GOING TO BE A BILL BEFORE THE ELECTION, AND FREEPERS NEED TO GET THAT CLUE.

I'm so glad we have you to tell us what's going to happen! Do you also read palms?? I'm just kidding. But, seriously, even if the politics suggest there will not be a bill, we need to continue to put pressure on them to do WHAT WE WANT DONE!

I believe you called it several days ago.

Congrats

Oh, we noticed and the list of RINO names is growing. We thought there was the remote possibility of something meaningful with Frist's ORIGINAL proposal that had some serious teeth in it. Forget it -- I think Bush got to him. Even at that, there was NO DISCUSSION OR MENTION of what would be done to really CLOSE THE BORDER --- TV cameras, more guards, what a bunch of subterfuge for saying "we are leaving the border open" so MORE ILLEGALS can just keep coming into the USA. Yes, all of it flies in the face of the will of the people (REAL Americans).

If this travesty upon America does not wake up America to what our government in Washington is all about, then God help America, because the complacent, stupid people will not. Washington continues to work hard to give away OUR COUNTRY for the sake of shovelling sand over their malfeasance, incompetence, carelessness, elitism, and their TOTAL disregard for the will of the people.

I can be persuaded, with the right beer bribe.

We don't need another law! We need to enforce the laws we have now!

Derailing this amnesty and citizenship grant to lawbreakers is the best thing that could feasibly happen right now.  Let the congress critters go back home and talk to their constituents and see what the average American REALLY thinks about leapfrogging these invaders to the front of the line for citizenship.

My guess is an enforcement only component will get passed in the next month and nothing will be done before the November elections.  This issue looks like poison to the RINOs in the Senate.

Just secure the southern border with armed guards so as not to compound the problem and allow anymore of them in.

Don't pass legislation that smacks of amnesty or "guest" worker program. Get tough on these defiant, disrespectful bunch of mexican flag waving demonstrators. Arrest them on the streets while they are demonstrating make an example of them for the rest of mexico to see make them pay back taxes!!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

You are right more often than you are wrong (and you are rarely wrong).

BTW, last night's post:

To: reformedliberal

You would catch more flies...err, FReepers....with a bit of honey in the vinegar.

I know, I just don't know how to be nice. Its a real problem.

Thanks.

I've made a number of predictions that I've gotten wrong, but this one was EASY. That group of jokers in the Senate is interested in one thing and one thing only: THEIR JOBS.

Only those at risk are willing to listen to you, and those folks are not in the Senate, but in the House.

Until after November, you will see nothing but proposals and finger-pointing. All both sides want is a chance to blame the other for getting nothing done. Frist doesn't care, neither does McCain. They don't even begin to care until after the November elections, where their votes will then be for sale to the highest bidder.

I'll send you a case of Tecate! :)

[GrandEagle]

I sure hope you are right, but in this case I don't think so. I'm fairly certain that amnesty will pass with nearly all RINOS voting for it.

Cordially,

We don't need another law! We need to enforce the laws we have now!

But who will help these poor immagrants?

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

You mean republican Quislings like, McCainiac, Specter and Graham standing shoulder to shoulder with Ted Kennedy and ilk at the deeply saddened news conference dog and pony show I just saw?

[sheana]

Yes! Now we need to keep pounding them.....ENFORCEMENT! ENFORCEMENT! ENFORCEMENT!

[sangoo]

We don't need another law! We need to enforce the laws we have now!

Well, that's the Presidents job and he just isn't gonna do it.

[azhenfud]

Both Senators from NC voted "Ney". They didn't seem too united with the amnesty compromise/surrender "deals".
