They never did, nor do they intend to, do anything on this this year.

The Senate manufactured this fiasco so they wouldn't have to take a stand.

In private as well as public, Reid and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., who heads the party's campaign effort, said they did not want to expose rank-and-file Democrats to votes that would force them to choose between border security and immigrant rights...

Reid and Schumer think politics is more important than border security!

If Harry Reid killed this bill, then I owe him a "thank you."

Memo to President Bush regarding Amnesty: Not just NO, but HELL NO.

A Democrat may have killed the immigration bill, but a Republican President won't enforce the immigration laws we have right now!!

The landmark bill, which would offer eventual citizenship to millions of illegal immigrants, fell victim Friday to internal disputes in both parties.

Well, at least they're honest about it by not calling it a border security bill.

I would give a big part of the credit for the defeat of this bill to the American people. They are the ones that called, sent emails and letters to their senators that stopped this bill. While our lazy congress critters are home for the next two weeks please call their local offices and if they are on the right side give them a well done and keep it up if they are on the wrong side tell them to reconsider and let them know that you vote, contribute, and do the work to keeps them in office.

Pres. Bush can blame Reid all he wants when he should blame himself for such a bad bill even being considered.

As I mentioned on another thread, I think if Bush admitted that the reaction of American CITIZENS had anything to do with the defeat of this compromise (selling out the country) he would have to admit his own folly in this illegal immigration debacle.

I don't think we have seen the end of this - it will be resurrected after the 2006 election and the "representatives of the American citizen" are once again secure in their seats in Washington. We had better stay vigilent.

Were that only true that a democrat liberal would kill a terrible bill as the one Specter wants to pass.

Someone get a computer to President Bush and tune into FR and let him read what we really think!!

We 298 million Citizens
well at least many of us
do NOT want an amnesty program or a worker program
we do NOT want the current Specter bill in Senate
We want strict border security that will stop and prevent any more illegals from sneaking in.
We want all employers who are openly admitting to employing these people under the table and not paying taxes to be fined and prosecuted
We do not want the illegals to be able to hold our schools and streets hostage by demonstrating
We do NOT want the illegals to be able to collect on any entitlement program
we do NOT want them overcrowding hospitals and schools
and Mr President
That is a period end of story!!

Has anyone noticed that the word immigrant has totally supplanted the terms "illegal alien" and "illegal immigrant?" Even undocumented immigrant has fallen from favor.

Ahem, excuse me Mr. President, but I'm glad this bill was killed, it was NO GOOD, you need to come up with a better idea, starting with but not limited to: SLAMMING THE BORDERS SHUT NOW, NO AMNESTY, repeat, NO AMNESTY, ARREST AND IMMEDIATE DEPORTATION OF ALL ILLEGALS and by the sounds of it we all know who these "undocumented" people are, find them and throw them the hell out, PERIOD. FINE AND ARREST all employers employing these ILLEGALS. Have the testosterone to call them what they are Mr. President ILLEGAL INVADERS, aka, CRIMINALS.

Yes, and I noted they worked the number down to 9 million instead of the touted 11 million.

Most consider 11 million illegals a conservative estimate.

What's this? The Democrats killed a sell-out amnesty policy?

MAYBE I'll VOTE FOR THEM FROM NOW ON. The Rats are apparently more useful than the GOP.

Bush still has his head sqaurely up his butt in regards to immigration and what the people of this country want. Does he really think the dems are the only ones who killed this bill? The shame of it is that ALL republicans didn't tell him where to get off and refuse to even vote on such crap.

Yes. They keep trying to blur the distinctions between the two.

Yes. They keep trying to blur the distinctions between the two [illegal alien and illegal immigrant vs. immigrant].

But who do they think they're fooling?
