Sen. Tom Harkin (news, bio, voting record), D-Iowa, said the compromise bill could mean losing Latinos in his state who have helped revive some of its small towns by buying homes and starting small businesses.

I wonder how legal residents of Iowa feel about this comment?

DiFi's answer.....the current bill is unworkable (correct), so let's just amnesty anyone and everyone.
The names I want to call her would get me banned.

They would get an "orange card" ...after passing the background checks, demonstrating an understanding of English, U.S. history and government and paying back taxes and a $2,000 fine to apply.

We can't even get US citizens to do all that. If she thinks we can get the illegals to do it she is even dumber that I thought.

"Sen. Tom Harkin (news, bio, voting record), D-Iowa, said the compromise bill could mean losing Latinos in his state who have helped revive some of its small towns by buying homes and starting small businesses."

This is exactly why we will never be able to get the illegal immigrants to leave. The minute they were able to get businesses and homes we lost.

I think in this there has been all kinds of laws broken, but our country don't care about laws anymore.

letting two-thirds of illegal immigrants stay but making the other third leave.

This will NEVER happen. The bill might get passed with this in it, but lets not kid ourselves, no one is going to deport anyone.

The bill is a bad bill - period.

Frankenfeinstein just made it worse.

[TomGuy]

Someone proposed a 'blue' card a few weeks ago.

Feinstein proposed an 'orange' card.

Maybe next, someone will propose a 'salmon' card.

There are more colors available.

I still believe the country cares about following the rule of law, it is our elected legislators who are more interested in getting more Latino votes than the good of the country who are the problem. TERM LIMITS TERM LIMITS TERM LIMITS

"This legislation is on the edge of the ledge as it is," said Sen. Arlen Specter

Push it off for good. Enforce the laws we have!

Thanks! lol

Time for a 'diverse card'? Maybe someone can photochop that crayon box and put it in DiFi's hands. ;-)

The Senators had better pay attention to the Representatives.

The American people are furious and outraged over the negligence and asininity of their Congressmen--and this cuts across all party lines!

The House Republicans are going to be re-elected. Re-election of RINOs and Democrats is in jeopardy.

Even hard-core Democrats know that the Democrat Party is encouraging open borders and illegal immigration, overtly or covertly, because they expect it to enlarge their base support, and the Democrat base support is concerned about illegal immigration. Even hard-core Leftists are outraged!

Senators who betray the public trust will also find their supporters prepared to replace them as soon as their re-election comes up.

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS:

BEWARE THE WRATH OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

Thus said Mark Levin last night.

The legal provisions are in the Simpson-Mazzoli Bill enacted under Reagan.

Our politicians in Washington just checked in their testacles, spine and guts before heading to office.

Makes you wonder how they move, eat and procreate.

[bordergal]

They haven't worked all that great in California that I can see.

Sacramento is still an insane mess.

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS: BEWARE THE WRATH OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

Right On

Orange card as in orange revolution.

nice try dieane.

Time for a 'diverse card'? Maybe someone can photochop that crayon box and put it in DiFi's hands. ;-)

Now, who would do something like that?

[NormsRevenge]

Great! Thanks! :)

"I have come to believe that the three-tiered system is unworkable, that it would create a bureaucratic nightmare and it would lead to substantial fraud," Feinstein said Tuesday.

She left out the punchline: "So I have decided to propose something worse"
