Even Senator Kyl said in committee speeches and floor speeches that it's impractical to deport all 11+ million illegals in this country. Deporting them all, as he put it, would require buses put end-to-end stretching from the Mexican border near San Diego, all the way to Juneau, Alaska.
see 480.
leech is not the word I coined.
I agree we can agree and disagree
I suspect there are several people posting here that are nothing more than DU trolls trying to divide us. From the sound of it, you may very well fit that description.
Give me a sec while I adjust my tin foil hat. I read your link. UNESCO is incorporated into Agenda 21. A UN sponsored global takeover. Check my home page if you're a mind to.
Only in your dreams. And don't bother to quote exit polls as part of your argument. We all know how accurate they are.
The wall would be intended to prevent illegal immigrants and potential terrorists from hiking across the southern border into the United States. It would run along five segments of the 1,952-mile border that now experience the most illegal crossings.
The plan already has roiled diplomatic relations with Mexico. Leaders in American border communities are saying it will damage local economies and the environment. And immigration experts say that -- at a cost of at least $2.2 billion -- the 700-mile wall would be an expensive boondoggle.
You can do the math from this website...
link $2.2billion for 700 mile fence our whole border with Mexico is 1,952-miles
I'm familiar. HENCE my confusion!
I'm sorry, You're right. Bush 41 ran an enthusiastic campaign; a man 20 years younger couldn't have done better. It was well-run from the start and dealt quite effectively with anything thrown at it from Clinton's "war room." Appointing David Souter to the SCOTUS? That was fine. Breaking his no-new-taxes pledge? That didn't bother conservatives one bit. What was I thinking?!
[sarc]
What exactly does Senator Kyl propose ? (Btw, I want to repeat that even though I've disagreed with him on immigration, he's a great senator. I wish he'd run for president.)
Bravo! Well said.
How much did that new tunnel the swimmer keeps sinking the taxpayers money into in Boston? Maybe $2.5 BILLION?
"A conservative site should not tolerate institutionalized ignorance of any kind; it's all equally harmful."
Agreed. :)
"Teaching evolution in school harms our children intellectually, and spiritually, while weakening our country in the same ways."
Not so much.
Hey at least it's not a shutout.
What exactly have we won? Is there a list?
LOL!

You really need to not jump to conclusions. If my choice were a Republican that was a big spender, versus a dim that was a dim (pro-abortion, anti-second amendment, cut and run traitor, big-big- big government spender, union NEA appeaser, anti-States Rights, HIGHER taxes type of dim), I would proudly vote for the pubbie. No question about that.
Those conservatives holding office need to have the majority to effect change. Without that majority, ALL Conservatives will lose.
This is exactly what one of Jim's points in his post alluded to!
