Brownback is a hypocrite when it comes to refugees/asylum seekers. When some Somali Bantu were slated to be resettled in his own Kansas, Brownback blocked the plan, saying "they would not work well in Kansas." Otherwise, however, he is one of the biggest champions of placing large numbers of such refugees in other communities, whether those communities want it or not. Basically, the feelings of communities that must bear the burden of refugee resetlements typically don't register as important to Brownback, unless of course those communities consist of people who can vote Brownback out of office.
Sounds like just another government elitist. Sad.
Amazing. I never realized this guy was a gibbering braindead idiot. And he wants to run for president? heh...heh-heh...hahaha...heeheehee....OMG, they really do have a twisted sense of humor in Washington.
I'm not 100% positive, but I believe that Sam Brownback is supposed to be on the Jerry Agar show on 980 KMBZ in Kansas City this Tuesday.
I would love to hear what he has to say. Jerry is one of the best talk show hosts ever, and occassionally has our own Congressman Billybob on.
Unfortunately, at this time, they do NOT stream over the Internet, although I hear that they're working on it, so I guess this is only for Kansas City area Freepers.

Compromise Immigration Bill will Replace All Current Immigration Judges with Probable Leftists
Brownback Joins Dems on Immigration Bill
What are the politicians so AFRAID of should they vote for a REAL BILL securing our borders, tough on the 10-20 million here, because 100,000 of the defiant illegals are demonstrating?
What's the worse that could happen?
They would return to Mexico?
They would quit their jobs?
Ewwww that's scary ;) NOT!!
Or would there be an uprising ? GOOD than arrest the ....problem solved.
There goes his Presidential chances.
Logic doesn't exist for Brownback, etc.. Where's the line in the sand, the border? Where does 'compassion' stop? (That's such a bleeding heart, phony issue...and it's insulting. Furthermore, where's his 'compassion' for Mexico, now being depopulated!) Never mind, why not let in everybody? They're headed north anyway. It makes more sense in practical and in human terms, if we simply give away our GNP to poorer nations in the hemisphere. Put money in the pocket of every Mexican/Guatemalan/Costa Rican/Brazilian/etc., who stayed put. Those countries could certainly be trusted to 'rebuild their infrastructure'. No corruption, no graft. Everything would be hunky dory. Of course, we'd be dead broke, starving. Maybe Mexico would let us in? (I didn't think so.)
Brownback may agree with Mahony but the teaching of the Church disagrees with both of them. Mahony speaks only for himself and while he may be a Cardinal he is hardly a leader of the Church. As on most issues his opinion and the teaching of the Church are diametrically opposed. He is an apostate, heterodox bordering on schism.
Illegals are all over Overland Park.
Look in his hip pocket.
It's amazing what a little bit of national attention can do to a guy. Brownback has turned RINO faster than any other formerly conservative senator in history.
"This is probably the most divisive issue in America today, and I hope this compromise ends up bringing us together,"
In other words, "This issue is difficult and we're too damned lazy to spend the time and effort to fix it. Besides, it is more important that the Senate kiss and make up then to do what is right for the American people and future generations of Americans"
Vote for George Allen!
Knowing that Brownback is a protege of Cardinal Mahony makes him unfit to be President of the USA!
Good point, but as to the votes, do they want to P'O 289 million LEGAL voters OR 10 million liberal votes?
I really belive that the hispanics and the illegal aliens are LIBERALS and will remain that way.
Maybe, maybe not. In the beef industry alone in Kansas there are 129,000 employed of those its anybody guess as to how mny illegals are employed, but from my own personal experience and knowledge and meatpackers such as IBP,Excel,National there might be as much as 50% illegal hiring rates, we are talking plants with 3000+ employees each.
A few years back in Garden City, Kansas a Monfort beef plant burned down and the city went from 4% unemployment to 10%, the plant has yet to reopen and although the unemployment rate has dropped the new jobs that enter that town are mostly service sector, Stores,FastFood, and the other beefpacker only added a few jobs and the town has been slowly losing population since the fire.
Anyways there are a few towns in Kansas whose entire economy is built around the beef industry, Dodge City,Liberal, Garden City small towns that operate feed lots and etc. Those towns would be hit hard for awhile, the nations beef supply would be hit hard until they raise wages enough to make it a worthwhile job for most Americans, and then we will have to talk about the other effects such as 10 dollar a pound hamburger.
Dont get me wrong I am not for illegal immigration, I want a tight secure border were even if a guy farted on the border the stink cant drift across. But I am realistic and know that if it isnt done right some of these agricultural jobs wont be filled overnight by willing Americans unless farmer John has the money to pay you wages enough to do his work, thus we will have ourselves a recession.
