No (House Republicans vs. Senator Frist’s amnesty plan. )

National Review Online ^ | 5 June 2006 | Rep. Tom Tancredo

Mike Pence because of his thinking outside the box has gained some respect from me. He showed some guts there and if he throws his weight behind his proposal I think I might start paying more attention to him

All of the usual open borders suspects are in love with this Pence character. But you still like Teddy Kennedy's bill better, don't you?

[catholicfreeper]

Pence is not for open Borders. To answer your question, I despise Ted Kennedy

Tom Tancredo is probably the most principled man in Congress who happens to be Italian.

Your so right. Bush must have extreme patience. I would have told this supposed "base" to take a flying leap months ago. This is the problem with the internet at times. Its a giant echo chamber. Everyone is convinced that their issue is the one thats the most important and they meet similar people on the net and they all imagine that countless millions think just like they do. Therefore they believe that countless millions of Republicans believe that Bush is a rino, that Sen Brownback is a Rino, that Sen Santorum is a rino, that Sen Martinez is a rino etc etc. Even now Rep Pence is being transformed as a rino because of his stance on immigration. Even though he was a "True Conservative "last week.

It pretty funny to watch. But I am part of the Great unwashed I guess a Bushbot as I have been labled so what do I know lol

"no bill is much worse than a compromise bill."

You think a "compromise bill" that includes a guest worker provision which includes illegal aliens as eligible for guest worker permits is a compromise. It is not. It is a sellout of all those who have gone through the long legal process, proof that Americans who were against the 1986 amnesty but accepted it when told that strong enforcement would come with the measures included in that bill, were lied to twice. We were told you had the tools to enforce the immigration laws then. Now you want us to believe you need new ones. We were told that would be the last amnesty. Now you want us to accept another.

No, we are done with your vision of "compromise," where Americans demand our laws be enforced, politicians promise us a half-a-loaf 'solution,' and then they deliver us nothing at all. If we wanted nothing from DC, we'd be happy with the status quo, thank you very much. There's no reason for us to be behind a "compromise bill" that gets us even more nothing.

What question did that answer? You do support Teddy's immigration bill, don't you?

We should all admit that CIRA(S2611) is the worst piece of legislation ever passed by the Senate in the entire history of the Republic of the United States. It fell short of addressing the vital issue of securing our borders.

However, HR4437 was a well thought out piece of legislation that addresses the national security issues of the 21st century.House Republicanns are the true guardians of freedom.

[Earthdweller]

Tancredo is backed by the left..which means he is extreme and does not...repeat...does not represent the majority of Americans. He is a loser.

[garbageseeker]

Far from it. He is a guardian of freedom.

[catholicfreeper]

I support the bill that Kennedy backed as well as many other Conservative Senators and that has the approval of our conservative President. Kennedy is actually supporting legislation I like. Even a clock is right twice a day.

[catholicfreeper]

Nothing about the House bill seems to me to be very thought out. Its seems mostly like pandering. However this is because its not really comprehensive. It will hopefully be meshed with the Senate Bill and something good will come out of it.

[Earthdweller]

"Far from it. He (Tancredo) is a guardian of freedom."

CNN likes him..that's enough to run away from him as fast as your two little feet can take you.

[garbageseeker]

The Senate bill is an abomination. And the sad thing is that they passed it with a straight face expecting everyone to buy it. Now, the House must do its job and kill it.

[Earthdweller]

"I support the bill that Kennedy backed as well as many other Conservative Senators and that has the approval of our conservative President. Kennedy is actually supporting legislation I like. Even a clock is right twice a day."

Sorry..you and I will have to part ways with this. The Senate bill needs adjustments. Too many freebie giveaways. My wallet is not big enough to carry all of Kennedy's pie in the sky ideals. I believe that the punishment for the crime of being illegal needs to be stiff. It's not like a parking ticket like some have implied. It's worse..much worse but there can be restitution.

"guardian of Freedom"

He is aligned with groups that want to stop legal immigration and reduce to the population of the USA to as they say a 'Sustainable" population of 150 million. All the while Europe Christian population are below the replacement rate and Moslems are breeding like rabbits. Who is going to be left in 50 years to battle this and maintain our standard of living.

[OrangeBlossomSpecial]

I agree with Tomcreado, I'd vote for him if I could.

[garbageseeker]

The man should be given an award from protecting us from invaders from the south.

[catholicfreeper]

Iam not saying I support the Senate bill in everything it says. I just think its politics at work here. The reason a lot of this stuff is in the Senate bill is to allow Dems to go back to their folks and say hey I tried. They know half that stuff is going away in a compromise. Also the House can take credit for taking away some of these plums and making a tough enforce provision to give them political cover to vote for a compromise.

I guess when I say I support the Senate Bill, I do not mean in all its particular items. However I supported it because it got out of the Senate because thats all that really mattered at that stage. SO i give Kudos to all that did that. This is just making sasuage right now. Pence move shows something is stirring. The final product will have tougher provisions I have no doubt.

"The man should be given an award from protecting us from invaders from the south."

The real "invaders" are Islamic extremists.

I haven't heard your hero Tancredo say a d@mn thing against anyone but Christians. That's why the left likes him.
