Just a whole lot angry over the fiasco today so please forgive my bad grammar.
Over the last couple of weeks, I have repeatedly posted concerns that this bill is worse than any legislation since Reconstruction days.
The bill S2611 adversely affects current citizens more than just in the area of immigration and giving amnesty for felons and employers who violated several laws and stole citizens identifications.
Once this bill is thoroughly examined and the full extent of its impact on American citizens is known, there will be hell to pay.
S2611 was used by Ted Kennedy and the Open Borders, Hate America First Crowd to attach legislation that changes many laws currently on the books.
Especially, laws dealing with wages and the work place environment.
This bill as written, will guarantee more government intervention into your personal lives.
If one carefully examines this bill, you will see that the strong border enforcement we thought we were getting as a trade off is not there.
Now, I am hearing some Senators say it will take tens of thousands of new government workers just to handle this debacle.
That the cost to process all of these amnesty citizens will be in the tens of billions of dollars.
Where will these new workers come from since we already have full employment?
Oh, I know, we can OUTSOURCE the work to DUBAI or INDIA.
Yes folks the Illegal Aliens may not qualify to pay taxes but they will be able to file for the earned income, as much as $4,500 dollars, which then can be used to pay the paltry fine of $2,000 dollars.
We are being socked for 40 plus more billion in government refund out lay give a ways in just the earned income tax credit for low wage earners.
Most however will qualify for welfare, food stamps, low income housing, Medicare, education and any other give away program that you as a current working citizen can not get.
Yep, these people are earning their citizenship. Sarc
Kennedy says well these people will be paying taxes but most of the Illegal Aliens will not qualify for even the minimum tax.
Then to top it all off, the Social security is supposed to be in trouble by the account of every Senator and politician in Washington D.C.
That did not stop Murdering Ted and the gang of sellouts from tacking on a possible 60 to 100 million more potential Social Security recipients.
People 50 years and older should be outraged over just this theft alone, much less all the other adverse shenanigans that is wrong with this bill.
I listened to Lindsay Graham try to explain away his sell out of Americas majority and his explanation smacks of an arrogant elitist.
Yes, I am angry and now must fix a Gin and Tonic to settle the old nerves.

Graham sure didn't backpeddle on Hannity's radio show today.
To: Reagan Man
I wonder how many senators even know what is in the bill.

and what makes me even angrier: The MSM has been skewering the President over the WOT and publishing info that is nothing if not treasonous and puts our soldiers in danger, but I betcha they hardly peep about the dangers of the Senate immigration bill.
To: Reagan Man
So the American people are suspicious and they are dubious and they are watching us carefully, and they should. Let me tell you some of the things that are in the legislation that indicate a lack of respect for the American people... Thank you, there are many...

I was told by my former Congressman, Chris Cox, that the special interest groups around certain "leaders" write most bills.

We need a recall petition going on those backstabbing RINOS...NOW!! NO, we don't. We need real conservatives to run in primaries against these guys. I'm not in this to elect democrats - the people who would be the winners of your plan. No, there's no reason to go from the frying pan to the fire. Let's replace them with real conservatives - not with nutty liberals who would make this legislation worse...

These past two weeks I have had the flame put to me about my being obsessed with this Shamnesty bill.
Well my worst fears have been born out.
As I said two weeks ago the more of this bill gets out to the general population the more they will see that the proverbial screws were put to them with out even using Vaseline.

The borders have been wide open for some time, and have been hemoragging since Bush has been President.
This circus today in the Senate pushed me over the edge. Mydollars will no longer go to the Republicans.
Unless Sessions runs, of course.
I like a good display of manlihood, and he was the only one that showed anything near that today.

A lot of us have had our loyalties tested the past few weeks; some feel we need to love the President more than our Country. I choose to love what is left of my Country more.

Well odd they also decided to drill off Alaska

I absolutely smell a rat with this bill.
Hastert has vowed that if a majority of Republican Senators voted against S2611 that he would not bring up the bill.
What gets me is all of a sudden now that this bill is ready for conference Hastert gets hit with the news big time over a presumed corruption.
I have a premonition that some back room trading is taking place and we the majority voters are going to get screwed one way or the other.
