It's a good bet now that there won't be any law to legalize illegal aliens - at least before next fall's election. As many Republicans see it.....(the Senate) Democratic amnesty bill....would amount to political suicide..... House Republicans are dead-set against legalization, convinced that backing Bush's plan would so infuriate conservatives that they'd sit out the election and let Democrats win control of Congress.
The Senate can't pass the bill alone, so as long as the House holds firm, any compromise bill won't include legalization......
Karl Rove got an earful when he tried to persuade House Republicans yesterday - 19 of the 20 who spoke out said no way to legalization......"It was a very cool reception. No matter what the president and the Senate call it, people see it as amnesty," said House Homeland Security chairman Peter King (R-L.I.).....The White House claims voters want to get "something" done. House Republicans like King say their voters, by a 99-1 margin, would rather see nothing than allow an amnesty.
......House Republicans will be led by a very tough negotiator to try to reach a compromise deal - House Judiciary chairman James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) A tenacious, even truculent negotiator - he was a House impeachment manager against Bill Clinton..........

I'm with you.
The will of the people, we the people...wow what a concept!
(s)
You mean not will of Fox pres of mexico? You mean not will of illegal invaders? (major(s) ;)
But seriously, the thought that Senators or House Rep with a (R) after their names would try to shove a disgusting bill at we the people was just to much to take, or the fact that they were voting and supporting the democrat liberals was not to be believed.
To give foreign national INVADER CRIMINALS welfare benefits, a check for $4,700, social security benefits and the entire country was just to much to take.
To continue to allow them to keep flooding in right now without lifting a finger, to not prosecute their employers?
They have to be kidding.
What part of NO amnesty is difficult for them to grasp?
Or maybe we are just being ignored. Maddening!
Lets hope that they will NEVER pass a bill they are planning to today but pass a bill like HR4437 instead! Why? Because it should be a felony to break into this country it is a felony in other countries. It should be a felony to HIRE them!
Don't give the employers who have already hired millions of the invaders a free pass!
There are way to many H1B Visa's out there already, but to allow millions more cheap labor illiterates is outrageous.
Have all 300 million American taxpaying citizen workers suddenly left the country????
It may be true....(& sound good on some distant planet)...
...but for the here and now, it's not in our playbook!!!!
It's about time they told Rove where to take his proposals.
To allow millions of invader aliens to steal our identitities and to get social security benefits while working here illegally and to give them all a check for $4,700 and to give them the farm is so outrageous it's something only a socialist, liberal democrat would do so why is Rove suggesting it?
Thank God literally that there are House Reps who are still conservative Republicans!! Thank you to them!!!! House Reps with a (R) you will have our total support and more importantly our votes.
We were gifted with a Democratic Republic. If our form of government were to be changed to a pure democracy, we would cease to exist. America is no longer GOD fearing enough, educated enough, savvy enough, and is far to corrupt with personal agendas to survive very long. No, our Founders were brilliant, and Americans today are NOT!
One only has to compare and contrast with the other governments on Earth to see, that even with ALL of our problems, we still have the best form of government on Earth today.

Have you emailed or called (the latter being more effective) your senators today to tell them to vote NO on the Senate Amnesty Bill? If not, don't whine when it passes. Even if you have wastes of human skin like Kerry and Kennedy representing you, they need to here from you. And be sure to call it what it is, an AMNESTY BILL, because as Rush read on his show, it is in many sections a copy of the 1986 Amnesty Bill (Simpson-Mazoli)that got the invasion of the illegals rolling twenty years ago. They hate it when you know that.

Liz: Hooray, Freepers. We won bigtime. But keep up the pressure.
Wait, I'm confused. Doing nothing and maintaining the status quo is now victory? And here I thought this whole time that this issue was creating such a crisis that something, anything, needed to be done.
Of course this all hinges on whether or not one actually believes immigration -- even illegal immigration -- is a true crisis. Here's just one reason I'm not believing it.
He's a dedicated conservative doer---bless him.
Great news. And I think even a lot of Democrats will vote Republican after they see the voter registration drives that the Mexican lobby wages for this fall.
Many will start to see Dems as the party of Mexicans and Republicans as the party of Americans. I really think this can backfire on the Dems big time.
Amen.
No. the fallacy is having them elected by popular vote instead of the state legislatures like the US Consitution origially intended. As it is now, just about all Senators are beholden to interst groups ourside their home state. (they get most of their money from groups outside their state). Originally the Senate was the check and balance for States rights. The check and balance for the people is the house.
Take a read; it does make a lot of sense. here/>
As many Republicans see it.....(the Senate) Democratic amnesty bill....would amount to political suicide
The Republican political calculus is correct. Suicide, truly.

Ping!
Congress already DID something. It passed the United States Code. That's Congress' job.
It is NOT Congress' job to Take Care that the Laws Be Faithfully Executed.
