"It is clear the people who drafted this legislation had an agenda and the agenda was not to meet the expectations of the American people. The agenda was to create a facade and appearance of enforcement, an appearance of toughness in some instances. When you get into the meat of the provisions and get into the bill and study it, tucked away here and there are laws that eviscerate and eliminate the real effectiveness of those provisions. It was carefully done and deliberately done. This is a bill that should not become law. It is a bill that will come back to be an embarrassment to our Members who have supported it.
--- Senator Jeff Sessions

The 22 Republicans Senators who voted for the Senate immigration reform bill, S.2611.

Two "no" votes from Mississippi's Trent Lott and Thad Cochran. Good deal.

Time for we the people to take back the purse strings...the income tax and stealth withholding enable the congresscritters to vote buy (Hispanic votes in this case) via entitlements. We will no longer be US if this slide into socialism isn't stopped now.

The liquidation of America is well down the slippery slope that Bush 41 put us on when he fast-tracked NAFTA after he lost the 92 election.

Now we know exactly what he meant when he said "this is the New World Order" with that smirk on his face as Gulf War I ended.

Then they will have to support the illegals all by themselves. I am not supporting them any longer. I have a hard enough time supporting myself.

"Under the AgJOBS component of the substitute, illegal alien agricultural workers who have worked 150 “workdays” in agriculture over the last 2 years will receive a “blue card,” allowing them to live and work permanently in the U.S. However, because current law defines an agricultural “workday” as 1 hour of work per day—the bill language restates that definition on page 397—an alien who has worked for as little as 150 hours—there are 168 hours in a week—in agriculture over the last 2 years will qualify for a blue card."

Senator Sessions and his staff have done a terrific job of exposing all the dangerous minutia in this bag of crap called S.2611. Kudos to them.

Traitors - all of them.

Bought and paid for by the cheap labor lobby and the immigration lawyer lobby.

Words cannot express my contempt for them.

This bill has been drafted for a long time awaiting the right time to introduce it. These things take time to prepare. Who actually created the bill? It obviously was prepared with much thought in advance.

"I submit whoever wrote this bill—it was not the Senators, I can assure you of that—ought to be ashamed of themselves."

Indeed senator. Who did draft this hideous piece of trash? I sure would like to know.

God's teeth!!!

He's right. This is far worse than I even imagined, and I didn't like it from the start.

The Republican senators who voted for this thing are scum as far as I'm concerned.

Major Kudos to Sessions for throwing it right back in their lying faces.
