Social security time bomb in this bill http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=6641
War Eagle to you too. Sessions is one of the best things to ever happen to Alabama. Of course there are many on the downside of integrity too. Just grateful to have him. He is a statesman.
They are different groups of people, regardless of their country of origin, and the political issues that concern them are different in their effects and needs. Confusing the two may be lethal to our society, economy and sovereignty.
We already have a guest worker program, which may indeed need to be reformed. But illegal aliens are those who have not applied to be guest workers. There are 11 million of them by some estimates, 20 million by others. The only thing needing reform concerning illegal aliens is to enforce the existing laws respecting their presence and their employment here. Our sovereignty and rule-of-law demand it.
Border security is the number one problem in this debate. The flood of illegal aliens is a major factor in relation to our lack of border security but it is only one factor. There is also a matter of national security in a time of war and in an age when terrorists have set their sights on inflicting mass destruction on our society.
After the issues of border security and millions of illegal foreign nationals on our soil the matter of guest workers is very small in comparison. Until the first two problems are thoroughly and firmly addressed the guest worker issue should not even be discussed.
The President and the Senate need to get that message with unambiguous resolve.
The best methods to control the border have been studied and debated for a long time now. There are many good ideas and proven solutions. What is lacking is only the will to do it. The cost of controlling our borders will be insignificant compared to the price we will pay, both in security and economy, if we do not.
It would be nice to help everyone in the world lift themselves up out of poverty. But we cannot take that responsibility upon ourselves especially if we ignore our own welfare to the point that we are no longer prosperous.
Other nations of the world have an obligation to help their citizens every bit as much as we have to help ours. It is one thing to help other nations prosper it is quite another to relieve them of their own responsibilities. Beyond that it is simply not realistic to think that poverty can be ended around the world. We still have some in this great nation.
We must stop pandering to American employers who criminally employ illegal foreign nationals. Dry up the jobs and illegal foreign nationals will go home. Home where they can do what they must to put their houses in order just as we must put ours in order.
There is no compassion in filling a man's stomach or his pocketbook by relieving him of his responsibilities in life. Illegal aliens have abandoned their own house in order to be comfortable in ours. By so doing neither can be the master of his own house and both will be enemies in the street. This is our house, the U.S. of A., and it is our responsibility to set the rules in it.
polls that say 65% support making illegal immigrants citizens?
Republicans support the amnesty because they want the same votes Democrats are seeking.
McCainiac is one of my senators, and I can't stand him. My other senator is Jon Kyl and that's a different story - I wish we could CLONE him!
"NOTHING in this bill disqualifies Osama Bin Laden and a caboodle of Al Qaeda terrorists from obtaining U.S citizenship if they desired to have it."
THERE is our tag line on the homeland security issue inherently ignored by amnesty advocates, right there! Nice call!
God bless Jeff Sessions!

That is what is so maddening to me about this entire spectacle. Those that FOLLOW the law come off looking like chumps.
Every citizen should march down to the local courthouse and file a name-change petition.
We should each change our name to "Ben Dover".
I mean, for accuracy's sake, y'know.
What? This will make it difficult for Our Glorious Masters to keep track of us?
Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
The "GWB" (Guest Worker Bill) idea was just the bait to get this abomination onto the floor of the legislature.
Once there, it magically morphed into a fast-track CITIZENSHIP/amnesty for criminal aliens.
This piece of word belongs right next to the definition of "Camel's Nose Under the Tent."
Ain't it something, the way one day they're talking about how we need a "temporary guest worker" provision so the lettuce-pickers can come and go, and the next day, it's all about CITIZENSHIP for tens of millions of criminal aliens?
WHAT the f'n HELL happened to all that "guest worker" crap? You know, the CRAP that they badgered us about for the past YEAR or so? It's the MOST important thing on the plate, UNTIL they get their hands on it, and then *poof*, no more talk about "guest workers" -- instead, it's suddenly a race to the bottom to see who can sell out the country the fastest, as they give fast-track CITIZENSHIP to criminal aliens? WTF? WTF'nF???
The word "sellout" just does not even approach doing justice to what was done to our country. Any language that would come close to describing "the act" would result in the poster getting TOS'd for using it.
Argh. Vein-popping error:
Was:
This piece of word belongs right next to the definition of "Camel's Nose Under the Tent."
Should have said:
This piece of WORK belongs right next to the definition of "Camel's Nose Under the Tent."
That does it -- I'm moving to Mexico, try to become a citizen there, then illegally sneak back into this country so I can break the law with inpunity and get rewarded for it.
No wonder the Dims were at these marches the past few days -- courting and signing up their future voters.
I've had enough. I'm calling my congressmen now.
LOL!
susie
Agreed!
Sadly, that's all it is.
I am truly at a loss for words over this insanity..
Ping!
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd have to be protecting myself from soooooo many members of the party to which I have belonged.....since I could legally vote.
Insanity is being kind.
