Durbin's lookin old.
The rancid odor of Chicago politics emenates from this poor excuse for a public servant.
nation of immigrants, we hear that a lot but it was also a nation of immigrants established before the current welfare nanny state that we currently have.
used to be if you couldnt make it, you'd die. maybe someone would take pity on you and bury you. now the taxpayers have to support, feed, house, educate, and medicate anyone who crawls across the border,
If we can't get a good bill to close the borders (and we probably can't), we need to torpedo whatever slimey legislation the Senate coughs up. Their bill will let the invaders from Mexico to take over the country, outnumber our voing citizens, force their socialist ideology down our throats, and keep the Dems in power for generations. We need to deep-six their moronic garbage and keep it from becoming law.
voing=voting
This guy must be very, very unhappy.
He never says anything good about anybody or anything...ever.
If he is married, his wife must be a saint.
It was the House Republicans yelling send the guard before they debate anything else so before anything else is really debated he sends the guard so now it's in their court.
It's almost like an admission to an impeachable offense.
I guess his only defense would be that Congress and the Courts would be as guilty, eh?
The whole damn this is disgraceful.
That is a lie.
It was the House Republicans stating enforce the border and enforce internal penalities first. THEN they'd discuss his proposals.
The Border isn't sealed and penalties are not being enforced at home. They have no obligation to respond to feints by this administration that will leave an open border and legalize millions upon millions of people that have no intent to assilimilate.
They get jobs, most pay taxes and support their families. What are you really mad about?
LOL!!!! Good one, DamonSt!
the guard thing is a token gesture. NYC has 35,000 police. how can 6000 guard secure the border?
No, you lie! Their whole slogan was,"enforce the border first".
Capitulation
"first" - means you do ONLY that, and don't pass any new "goodies" until you get an working plan in place, up and running. that will take 2-3 years. the administration wants the entire bill passed at once - all the "goodies" will be put into effect immediately. and the border security? that will be a token gesture at best, and years from now, will fade away.
"They get jobs, most pay taxes and support their families."
Well, if they can support families on minimum wage or less in California without being on the dole, not only should we take them in, we should take lessons from them in money management.
You should know as well as the rest of us that the bottom 40-50% of wage earners in this country have NO tax liability. "They are hard-working, tax-paying family people" may apply to immigrants in general but you are being a bit disingenuous applying that to illegal, border-jumpers. The Mexican restaurant/Western Union office by my house isn't full of Mexicans every Friday who are sending taxes to the IRS, but it is full of Mexicans sending money somewhere. Path to citizenship? Like they care.
