Stunning facts about the proposed immigration bill

SENATOR SESSIONS ON SECURING AMERICA'S BORDERS ACT Mr. President, I thank Senator Leahy, ranking member on the Judiciary Committee. I have received just this afternoon in my office some disturbing news in the form of correspondence from the Congressional Budget Office. It suggests a number of areas where the amendment we are talking about here today, No. 3424, the immigration so-called compromise, violates our budget and the rules of the Senate. Let me read from the correspondence we have received. This is something, as you know, Mr. President, as a member of the Judiciary Committee, that we never discussed at all. It is not a matter we spent any time at all discussing as we moved forward with legislation which ultimately cleared that committee and came to the floor — legislation which I thought was not good legislation and which I opposed, and so did the Senator from Texas, who just relinquished the Chair. We didn't discuss the financial impact of the legislation before us. Stand Up For America !

"We have room for but one flag, the American flag...
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...
And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

If you enforce the present laws we would not have a problem. Why can't we enforce the existing law? My father got deported in 1944 when they check his citizenship because he was mangager at a defense plant. He was brought into the country when he was six months old and did not get registered.

Tom did great in the little dab of airtime allotted to him.

I like his speaking voice, very clear and calm.

The "protests," of course, will paint us as anti-immigrant and will be glorified by the media.

Well no I don't have any bullet points.. yet :) Actually I've been reading and learning from some of you like TigersEye. I frankly confess that I confused with the whole issue. The only thing that I know for SURE is that the border must be secured/closed somehow, that has to be FIRST. After that, well, I don't know...(but that is why we have congress an very smart people.. they can writte the details.) And here of course I am trying to be realistic and practical. Something tells me that different groups of people (illegals) must be given different considerations/priorities, like people who have been here for a long long time, have children born here, people important for some busenesses, etc. Some of them should be made go back and apply by for entry...etc, etc, etc. This is what my gut tells me. What do I know, the whole is is very complex from my perspective.

But again, I could almost agree to anything if the boder was finally closed and protected with a wall/fence where is needed, enforcement, technology, the works where the flow of illegals would be insignicicant, THEN we would be in a situation where we could call the shots. And that is basically my whole theory. I was frustrated at the beginning of this argument because almose everything i saw written was about the "11 M already here" but nothing, nothing about the BORDER! :) and that was driving me NUTS :). Luckily, the media finally got it ( as Charles Krathhammer article recently and now the media is taking about it more and more. Even congress seems to have gotten the message, that SECURITY is very important to the base, and I am sure they will try to trick us with some kind of language that it may sound good, but may not mean much in practice, we'll see.

Well I better stop here... and by the way, with this email I answer ALL who responded to my post. As for the "tone" I meant, really, anything that sounds reasonable, logical and useful without the offensive language that some use. IOW, something produced by reason rather than anger. So... I am still undecided, primarily, as I already said it a million times (in other posts too), because the issue fo SECURITY was kind pushed toward the back...(and STILL IS by our politicos) when if fact this should have been the first thing GWB should have done. Oh, I just saw your link JustPiper! :) that will take me a while to diggest.

La Enchiladita Oh, I just got yours :)... thanks for the advise. I will be checking with you guys and learning... I am open minded. One question... do you know if FR, or you rather you, (a lot I dont know about FR) could create a LINK just for this subject? perhaps withe bullet points we should use to send our policicos and WH! along with the telephones, email addresses, etc?

FR has links for just about everything except this IMMIGRATION. Why not important enough? :)

I would rather they wave more mexican flags.

I don't like to see them misusing OUR flag, they can do what they like with the mexican one.

OK folks, is it just me? I think if they don't want us there and attack our diplomats, we should kindly bow out (and take any money we give them with us). Is there a good reason to have embassies in countries that really don't want us to be there? I don't fully understand all this political stuff.

This thread is a keeper.

Thank you.

[La Enchiladita]

Thanks for the video link. I hope people are clicking and watching.

I have to admit I've heard so much about this man but have not sat down before to pay full attention to him. (Don't faint, okay?) For one thing, he doesn't get much coverage.

But I am really paying attention now.

Here is a discussion going on about a great POV: An American Indian Speaks Out Against Illegal Aliens

[wardaddy]

You should fix New Zealand than get back to us.

Better yet, why didn't you stay and fix wherever you left from....unless you were some political refugee...which is precisely one good reason western nations shouls have decent legal immigration policies

You have a lot of nerve. A recent immigrant from another nation to New Zealand telling us how to behave.

Your bigotry comments gave you away. Were these illegals invading the US mostly European descended you would be all for us rounding them up and sending them home but like most folks around here or in New Zealans who toss the bigot word around like it was a dwarf, it eats at you that most of them are different racially than the majority of folks here..so far.

Let me tell you something...we can't take in this many illegally or legally at this rate from anywhere no matter what color they are or what langauge they speak.

Got it?

And don't preach to me....I have two daughters with dual citizenship with Brasil

I love New Zealand and appreciate their help in Afghanistan. Thanks.
