BUSH SET FOR IMMIGRATION SPEECH WHITE HOUSE President Bush is getting set for a prime-time speech on immigration tomorrow night. Aides note the 8 p-m, Eastern Time, speech will be the president's first from the Oval Office that does not involve Iraq and the war on terrorism. And they say that reflects Bush's "passion" on immigration. He's speaking as the Senate is poised to clear a compromise measure including his idea for a guest worker program. However, a rival House bill is limited to a border crackdown, and meshing the two won't be easy. 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."

Yes, you are so right.

[Arizona Carolyn]

I know a lot of you don't have or watch cable, but Jeff Sessions is coming on Lou Dobbs right now...

[Arizona Carolyn]

Sessions says the legislation in the Senate will cost $50 Billion a year and that is based on the low numberof 10 - 12 million illegals, if the number is closer to what is believed -- 20 million then we are looking at $100 billion in costs.

Sessions says Frist is determined to move this forward no matter what, even without placing border control on the front burner of the bill -- which was originally promised.

Sessions is pressing a vote tomorrow and thinks more will vote against it than is currently being touted.... but right now this is s@rew the American People and vote for Business and Special Interest Groups ...

Dobbs shed some interesting light on the reason Fox chose to go to Utah first... and the roll the Gov of Utah and the Mormon Church are playing in immigration legislation. Also the GOP in Utah withdrew support for Rep Cannon because of him fighthing the POTUS on immigration.

Darn, just missed it, but thanks for the ping and info. Maybe this will be shown again late tonite.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Lou is usually shown later. It was a good interview. I REALLY like Jeff Sessions.

[SeaBiscuit]

"..but right now this is s@rew the American People"

No representation, at least by our Senators.. The Government has gone from whence we came... the House must stand.

[Smartass]

The numbers of 11, 12, or 20 million is blatantly FALSE.
When and if the they ever come crawling out of the
woodwork and fully exposed, there'll be more,
like 30 million or more.

 

[Altura Ct.]

God bless both Jeff Sessions and Lou Dobbs. Yes, he said the budget estimate was on 6-7 million of an estimated 12. So it could easily double or even more. I thought Sessions, while promising nothing, almost seemed optimistic. The more I see him the more I like him. The man seems genuinely concerned about the will of the people without emoting or pandering.

[Arizona Carolyn]

and that would equate to $150 billion.... so much for conservatism.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Did you hear that last letter to Dobbs about the Dune Buggy? ~LOL~

[Altura Ct.]

I bout fell out of my chair LMAO! ole!

[SeaBiscuit]

PS. I put that badly, not "all our Senators", I should have said the Senate, no doubt Sessions is one of the good guys.

Senators Back Plan to Send Guard to Border

Tuesday, May 23, 2006

WASHINGTON -- The Senate, eager to stanch the flow of illegal immigrants, signaled overwhelming support Monday for President Bush's plan to dispatch National Guard troops to states along the Mexican border.

No tour of duty could last longer than 21 days and troops would be excluded from "search, seizure, arrest or similar activity." They would support the Border Patrol, which has primary responsibility for intercepting illegal immigrants.

The vote was 83-10 on an amendment by Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., to authorize governors to order their states' National Guard units to perform annual duty training in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona or California. Administration officials have said Bush has the authority needed to deploy the Guard, making the vote a largely symbolic show of support.

It's always hard to express clearly through a keyboard.

BTW I checked and Dobbs re-airs at 1 a.m. West Coast Time... 4 a.m. in the East.

[Arizona Carolyn]

That was the best one in a long time and he's had some real doozies lately.

[Arizona Carolyn]

and no guns, etc... someone said it best on another thread today; might as well send the Girl Scouts.

[SeaBiscuit]

Thanks, will tune in since I'm mostly a niteowl anyway. :-)
