What happened? It was once the Demagogue Party that positioned itself as the party that stood to benefit by damaging the country. Now the same is true of the Republicans. Where do we turn?
"The new guest worker program would admit 200,000 individuals a year."
I guess the 12 million+ here illegally aren't enought to do those jobs Americans supposedly do not want to do.

See if your Senator sold you out.
So they're too effing lazy to learn our language, but we should provide them with free healthcare???
How about we ship them back to a Mexican hospital, someplace that speaks their language?
This pretty much tells the story. There are only 36 true Republicans in the Senate.
I just wrote all of the RINO's that voted for this bill and told them that my money would be going to their opponents in the fall election. That they thumbed their noses at the law abiding americans and it was time to clean house, or should I have said Senate? :)
Arguing over the "kind"(the details) of the bill is wasted effort..
This is a diversion.. Treason and Sedition are against the law but who will enforce them?.. NO ONE!... What is "illegal" has become a topic on a sliding scale.. Its only actually illegal if some "cop" will frog march you to the slammer.. and you're convicted..
Ask Sandy Berger... Passing a law is merely paperwork and photo ops.. Able Danger screams that.. We are no longer a nation of laws we are a nation of amnesty.. Amnesty for some and bonk bonk on the head for others.. The legal system is broken.. WHY?.. because Congress is broken.. as are the "people" that elect them.. WE ALREADY HAVE the Congress we deserve... else; "WE" wouldn't have elected them, "WE" did..
Whats legal or illegal is a Dog and Pony Show.. with clowns Elephants, Donkeys and everything.. It appears that what happens in Congress is a Sitcom.. not a serious sitcom but a comedy sitcom.. And "the People" want to be entertained..
ELSE; they would do something about it... They havn't AND WON'T.. The People are oblivious.. Angry or happy with the players on the sitcom, but not enough to do anything about it.. WHY?.. because the illusion of "WHATS LEGAL" is easier to fondle, else they might HAVE to do something.. Actually change their own attitudes AND DO SOMETHING.. like change their voting patterns..
On the otherhand Many many are very happy with the present situation.. they trust a broken Congress and/or a broken System.. Whats to change?.. Fat, happy and oblivious..
Our battle is not with the Senators who voted on the "Senate Version" on the bill....the two bill are "oceans" apart.. with the house version being a MUCH BETTER BILL !! our battle is with the Senators who will go to conference with house.. which I just found out will be ALL MEMBERS of the Judiciary Committee and then some additional Senators yet to be named by Reid and Frist !!!...
WE NEED TO LET THESE FOLKS KNOW that we SUPPORT THE HOUSE VERSION !! NOT THE SENATE VERSION !!! now get er done !!
---> for now we can focus our efforts on the JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MEMEBERS !!!

I have written an OPEN LETTER to the conferees and I encouge EVERYONE who cares about this to do the same.... feel free to copy/edit/distribute my letter.. MY OPEN LETTER TO CONFEREES
When illegal aliens have more rights than citizens, you know that our country is no longer our own. Every single conservative has to get out there and vote for conservative Republicans this November as they are the ones who do not support giving illegals social security, free health care, access to our legal system, any sort of amnesty or a "pass" on the use of stolen identities!
