So help me understand... Are you supporting the Kennedy/Democrat immigration bill that just passed in the Senate?

It doesn't matter what I think. But it does matter that

Americans, Republicans, and conservative Republicans actually support comprehensive immigration reform, and they will not take it lightly if the enforcement-only crowd burns down the bill, rather than acquiesce in creating a path to citizenship for the illegals already here -- as supported by 80% of Americans and over 75% of Republicans

Not a chance.

What matters is what Republican congressmen going home for Memorial day weekend, and back in Wsahingnton are hearing OVWEWHELIMNIGLY from their constituents who actually out them there.

Nope.
Its not what drive-by media think that matters.
We don't elect congressmen to vote for Mexican interests and against the interests of those who put them in power.
They are there to serve OUR interests. and the message is getting through loud and clear.
Kill The Senate Bill.
The evil Senate Bill is DOA.
As luck would have it, we are in the majority in Washington. :)

Yeah?
Like in this poll?

"While 52 percent said there should be no amnesty, 32 percent said they would favor amnesty for illegal aliens who currently reside in the United States.

The U.S. Congress has estimated that there are 11 million illegal immigrants now living in America. Amnesty was offered to people in this category during the Reagan administration, but it did little to stem the tide of illegal immigration into the country, primarily via the U.S.-Mexico border.

As Congress now works on immigration reform legislation in Washington, the survey shows there is a significant partisan divide on this question. Among self-identified Democrats nationwide, 51 percent favor amnesty, while 29 percent oppose it. Another 20 percent said they are unsure on the issue.

Among self-identified Republicans participating in the survey, just 13 percent said they favor amnesty, while 76 percent said they oppose such an offer. "

I have little confidence in drive-by media "polls", but if you are going to come up with some crap "poll", we'll just have to give you a taste of your own medicine won't we?
