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."

ANTI ILLEGALS RALLY ON MAY 5th and 6th

The Objective A place for FED UP American Citizens to gather, unite, communicate and coordinate the largest official 2006 National Anti-Illegal Immigrant Protest in American HISTORY!

Protest Locations by State Now see what I mean Just Damn!

US immigrants mobilizing for major 'action' (7,000 Muslims to march in Chicago) Activists themselves have some concerns. "I worry a bit over whether these events will be able to remain be peaceful," says Rogers. And demonstrators who carry the flags of their home countries may leave a bad taste in the mouths of Americans, she says. Such was the case in recent demonstrations in Washington.

[DieHard the Hunter]

Ma'am, I have promised the Moderator to knock off personal attacks. Which I have done. You, on the other hand, have attacked me in a very personal way.

Why not get to know me before you judge me, ay? Maybe read my home page, see what I'm about and why. Drop me a FReepmail if you have any doubts, before calling me a Troll in public...

Fair play, ay.

I have never bashed the US. Quite the opposite. Show me where, show me when. Hasn't happened.

Specter Says Immigration Deal Isn't Dead

From Brian Bonner:

Mass Protests in U.S. Cities Highlight Immigrant Clout

Will a porous border contribute to a WMD attack?

Recess no break from strife - Immigration reform stalled in Washington last week, but continuing security problems along the southern U.S. border - and allegations of fraud at the Department of Homeland Security - promised to keep the immigration controversy boiling as Congress takes a two-week hiatus

Metastasized Illegals -We have all heard the bromide, "if you can’t dazzle 'em with brilliance…baffle 'em with b.s.!" THAT is essentially what Congress (literally and figuratively the antithesis of Progress) is doing on the immigration issue.

Congress, president duping us on illegals

Illegals impasse riles Bush, Reid

View of immigration issue from one who came in legally - It had never been my intent to go public with my personal experiences, including the fact that in August of 1956 I became a very proud American citizen. But first, let's go back to where my struggle for legal and permanent entry to the United States began.

A must Read Blogger:

~Snip

But never mind what we want. We're only citizens. Press 1 for Deportation- Smart people know what's going on. I don't. Those experts on those TV shouting matches know exactly what's happening in regards to illegal immigration and aid to Hamas. I read the same reports that come out of Washington and instead of being enlightened I grow woozy from confusion.

Protesters adopt stance of victim, forget illegals can't have rights without rule of law

Some news on the anti-rally:

Update: Police estimate immigration rally crowd at 20,000 ~UTAH -A group of several hundred anti-illegal immigrant demonstrators calling themselves the "Pro-America Rally" also marched from the Salt Lake City-County Building to the Capitol.

Update 3: Poll: Immigration High on List of Concerns - People are now about as likely to mention immigration as the economy when they are asked to name the most important problem facing the United States, though both rank behind war in Iraq and elsewhere, an AP-Ipsos poll found.

Missing part of the immigration debate - But neither approach will work unless we eliminate the main magnet for illegal immigration: jobs.

U.S. House Immigration Bill Rallies May Draw 2 Mln Nationwide NOTE Freeper's : It is up to 136 rallies tomorrow!

April 9 (Bloomberg) -- Two million people are expected to attend one of 136 rallies tomorrow to show support for the U.S. Hispanic community, which is protesting an immigration reform bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, organizers said.

Personal Note: I fear this momentum they are building is going to BLOW~

Okay, fine, if the others on this thread want to humor you and converse with you, I will leave.

Okay we've been here only 24 hours and we need cooler heads to prevail so the majority doesn't suffer as a whole, so I thought this is a good time for this:

Code of Conduct

Please pay close attention:

PLEASE FOLLOW THE RULES

There will be NO bashing any mods, it will be taken private or there will be NO MORE Threat Matrix !!! That comes from the top!

Please everyone here review the following rules, they are not posted just for fun, they must be adhered to!

Do lead by example - Nothing improves a forum more than posters who reason sharply, write well, and have some perspective about it all. Be one of them.

Do preview - Preview twice, post once. And, ahem, close your HTML tags before you hit the reply button.

Do keep it clean - A bruise or two between Freepers is tolerable, but refrain from abusive attacks, engaging in senseless flame wars, and using profane language. Considering the range of topics we discuss, it's hard to be a family site, but that's what we aim for when at all possible.

Do "take it to the Alley" - The Alley is a public chat room. A link to it is provided on the latest posts page. Invite people there if you want to talk things over or settle a score, so to speak, off site.

Do use common sense - If you read a post that sounds too good or strange to be true, it probably is.

Do stay on topic - FR has varied topics for whatever you need to say

Do keep "vanity" posts to a minimum - Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials. Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting.

Don't jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it's considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread.

Don't play games - Don't represent yourself as another person, create or use another screen name to avoid a revocation of posting privileges, misrepresent the site or your role in it

We cannot stress the following enough:

{{{Don't be a whiner - If you really, really find Free Republic or Stand up for America not to your liking, let the webmaster know directly , do NOT bring it into this thread (jimrob@psnw.com), learn to live with it, or move along.}}}

NOTE: I have lost too many dear friends here to things like this...I do NOT want to lose my new friends, old friends or have them alienated

Thank You!

#201 No personal grievance, happy to stay off your thread. Hope that Xenophobia doesn't make you lot think poorly of Immigrants. Speaking generally, we are an asset to any Nation that takes us in.

#131 America is a great Nation built by Immigrants. If you don't like that, well, go home and give it back to the Indians. (They won't complain and will probably do a better job).
No, America's biggest weakness is bigotry. Go read the base of the Statue of Liberty. True or False?

Nope, no bashing there. No pomposity either. /sarcasm

> Nope, no bashing there. No pomposity either. /sarcasm

Nope, neither bashing nor pomposity, FRiend. I call it like I see it, from afar, in the best tradition of American baseball.

Like it or lump it, I'm tired of this argument. Time to move on.

"DieHard"

[antaresequity]

best tagline?...only an obvious expression of the exasperation we all feel

This is America...and it is mine...it is me...it is what we dream...it is what I dream...for our children...

I will not cease, I will not falter...I will die defending the idea of America...

My son serves today...so your grandchildren can be free tommorrow...

We all serve...

They will not steal my country...nor deny my responsibility to defend it...

America is so much bigger than the pretenders who try in vain to exploit the true defenders of freedom...

Live free or die...

[wardaddy]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this. I have been saying this around here for about two years now....this fear of bigotry thing even if unjustly accused paralyzes us from acting to defend our culture.

I hear uber RINO Ed Gillespie selling this PC garbage just two days ago. Disgusting

[DieHard the Hunter]

> this fear of bigotry thing even if unjustly accused paralyzes us from acting to defend our culture.

Mate, your Culture requires no defending. Trust me.

I'm a FRiend of America, and I get to say this as an outsider looking in. And I'd not voluntarily live in a world without an America.

You *do* have a problem with homeland invaders to your South. These people are not Immigrants: they are homeland invaders.

There is nothing bigoted about defending your home.

[wardaddy]

Yep.
