Screw the hundreds dying as they come across the border what about the hundreds of citizens that are killed every year BY illegal aliens?

"The politics of solving this problem is better than the politics of doing nothing," said Sen. Lindsey Graham (news, bio, voting record), R-S.C.



Yeah it's all about politics, has nothing to do with what is right for America and American citizens. What a piece of work he is.

Try numbersusa. They usually have the vote tally up pretty fast.

I hope you're right. This stinking pile of treason must be flushed by the House.

What concerns me is that the violence in Mexico is likely to cross the border.
Murders in Nuevo Laredo increased from 45 to 145 in a year, as the drug gangs shoot it out. It will soon spread on the Mexican side to Matamoros and, I fee will begin to affect the Valley. Since there are hordes of "snowbirds" in the valley, they will serve as a tripwire to alter the rest of the country what it coming their way.

Does someone have a better approach? Not yet. But we're still open for business," said Sen. Arlen Specter (news, bio, voting record), R-Pa....

Kay Bailey Hutcheson just announced on the Mark Davis Show (of WBAP 1080AM, Dallas/Ft. Worth) that she was going to offer an amendment that would require any alien desiring to enter our country to apply of a visa. The alien would have to show a job opening that the U.S. employer could not fill with a U.S citizen and the visa would be good for 10 months only. At that time, the alien woudl have to leave the countrya dn cound not return until they reapplied under the same restrictions as the earlier time - a willing (and NEEDING) employer and only for 10 months. NO CITIZENSHIP possibilities at all! It will be voted on tomorrow.

To Snarlin' Arlen - This seems like a better approach to me!

Good info.. the sad part is Kay is still labeled a RINO and many still slam her on immigration.. typical response is Well, sure she is talking about _____, but what about _____?
I for one, like Kay..

No amnesty reward for those here illegally, ever. Make them do it the right way if they truly want to be citizens. An amnesty bill is unnecessary. They should always remain non citizens unless they follow the rules.
The American tax payers should not be forced to subsidize the lives of foreigners from other countries. We're already being held in fiscal bondage by being forced to support the democrat base who's here legally.

In order to change an undesirable behavior, the punishment should be immediate and severe enough to equal the crime.
If we start rounding them up now, we could have most of them gone within 6 months.
