Senate leaders, backed by Bush, favor a plan to allow some undocumented immigrants to apply for guest worker visas...

Maybe this will get one of those correction faxes that Tony Snow's office is sending out.

It isn't any steenking "Guest worker visa", it is permanent residence, a Green Card. I would think that our MSM profesional journalists, what with all their journalistic standards and official editors and everything wouldn't make such fundamental mistakes.

but it won the hearts of the Senate and they actually think they represent us.

An American tragedy.

House GOP:

STAND YOUR GROUND! We are proud of the work that you are doing!

The House will continued to be controlled by the GOP Conservatives after the November election.....now to get this time of bold leadership in the Senate as a majority.

"Oh yeah, that really won the hearts and minds of the American citizenry last time."

Kennedy, McCain, and Bush are trying to import Latin-American mob "democracy" to America.

McCain, and other conservatives to persuade skeptical House Republicans to support a bill that's closer to the Senate approach.


Comment:

Well now you have it, the real problem.

Conservatives such as McCain, Spector and Graham.

When fat old Murdering Ted sobers up tell him that these turkeys are not conservatives but RINOs and sell outs.

yeah I heard Tony Snowjob the other day compare illegal immigration with getting a speeding ticket. rofl

If you get enough speeding tickets they will take away your drivers license. President Bush and the Senate wanta give em a brand new car with a full tank of gas.

Speeding laws are enforced. Laws are not enforced agains illegal immigrants.

Some BIG differences there Tony, try again.

My first sentence in this story would read, "Hope remains that the GOP will beat back attempts to sell US citizenship."

Hold the line, house of representatives. It's up to you all to inject some sanity into the senate bill.

"Seal the borders tight, get rid of any illegals who are picked up for any reason, fine and jail company owners who knowingly allow the hiring of illegals, then seal the border again. The formula is not complicated."

Lancey - There's one thing preventing you from being a member of the U.S. Senate - you make too much sense.

Remember when the Republican party used to be the party of common sense conservative solutions? McCain and Bush are emulating the Democrats in becoming the party of double-talk (hence: their definition of "amnesty"), etc.

"Senate leaders, backed by Bush, favor a plan to allow some undocumented immigrants to apply for guest worker visas, but they contend that denying such workers an eventual path to citizenship could create a permanent underclass."

Somebody help me out here. How can it a guest worker program create a PERMANENT under class when, by definition, guests eventually go home?

Please excuse the mistake.

I forgot to add the RINO sarcasm line at the end.

Must be the Margaritas that my keyboard has consumed this day.

sorry I am as confused as you. We should send them all dictionaries since apparently they have never owned one.

"But Kennedy expressed hope that massive public demonstrations by immigrants can work in tandem with pressure from Bush, McCain, and other conservatives to persuade skeptical House Republicans to support a bill that's closer to the Senate approach."

McCain isn't a conservative and I'm starting to wonder if Bush is. Oh, I forgot, he's a "compassionate conservative." That's someone whose conservatism can be easily trumped by pandering to friends and special interests.

It's amazing how well being up for election every two years improves ones hearing and cognitive abilities.

Just wait till the Senate figures out just how long memories can get now that access to their records has become instant and universal with the rise of the Internet.

I would rather the Republicans be a minority party that stands for something than a majority party that stands for nothing (which is what the GOP Senate has become).
