I don't have any opinion on Rhode Island.
Yeah, right I'm sure the junior congressman from Utah is going to go into congress and offer up his fast pass idea. Then everyone will jump on it and instantly pass it. What planet does that happen on? Not this one.
Jacobs is simply stating that some illegal workers have property here, families, good history, tax payments. If and only IF they return to their own country and reapply for reentry would their request be expedited. It make sense to me. AND I get to vote. :-)
Until those threads start showing up, then we can expect you to be one of Chafee's defender's I'm sure, since he's someone that "we know". For now you'll stick with Utah's primary.
IOW, you support amnesty, just in a different form.
That is one motivation to send a message loud and clear. Kind of like a "shot heard 'round the world."
I KNOW Cannon stinks. I'm hopeful that Jacobs is better. By all appearances he IS better. I've met both candidates face to face (I was a caucus delegate.) I've spent hours with them, personally.
Tell me what you know? Have you met with Jacobs? It appears you might have a hind-pocket view of Cannon. If not, what is your dog in this race?
I can't stand Chafee.
Do Bay and Tom have a target over Chafee's face, too? If not, why?
If Laffey wins, the Democrat will get elected, most likely, given the liberal tendencies of that part of the country.
Why? Because I said they need to return to their country and reapply for reentry? That not amnesty in any book. Are you trying to put words in my mouth? Why?
On the other side, which I have researched in depth, they came in the very early 1700's through Pennsylvania then to Maryland and down through North and South Carolina and Tennessee, eventually to Texas. Mark keeps telling me he's going to send me copies of all his research so I can see all the details and add to my other records...
It really fascinates me learning these things and in some cases gives some important data -- like my husbands side where we knew his mother, her sisters and his grandmother all died of stomach cancer, we learned that his great grandmother on that side also died of stomach cancer.
I'm sure they will when September rolls around but by the looks of things Chafee won't need any help getting the sack. :)
What a crock! You Jacob supporters are going to have a hard time defending this pig of an immigration plan.
And there it is, a preview of what we'll be hearing from the Cannon supporters when September hits.
You won't hear anything from me. For the third time, I could care less about Rhode Island.
Then why do you care so much about Utah, that's not in Texas is it?
or Chris Shays for that matter.
It's seems that Bay buchanan and her eunuch tom tancredo only seem to go after good conservatives.
Also watch tommy boy now criticize good conservative James Sensenbrenner for his ringing endorsment of Chris Cannon.
Have you answered one of my questions yet? What dog do you have in the fight? What business is it of yours? Why do you think your opinion matters?
Lonsberry has come out on Jacobs side. What make you a better spokesman for Utah than him? Buchannan and Tancredo support Jacobs. But I must side with YOU?
Your opinion of amnesty is stange. You'd like to go with Cannon's idea and grant amnesty outright. I want to go with Jacobs, send them all home, make them reapply, then determine if they may come back.
And you accuse me of wanting to grant amnesty...interesting TSTL.
Sounds to me like you are in favor of amnesty. But maybe I'm too stupid to "get" it.
That is very true, they feel there is a lost tribe of Mormons in Mexico and they have made over two million converts, over the recent past, below the border. The head of the church is openly courting illegal immigrants and welcomed Vincente Fox last month with open arms.
Dane, pay attention. They're not going after Shays because he's come out against amnesty and the Senate bill.
One more time so it sinks in, they're only targeting the supporters of amnesties, not the opponents. It's called democracy in case you were unaware.
Nah it called pure bay buchanan/tom tancredo spite.
Anyway I'll go with James Sensenbrenner's endorsement anyday over Medusa like bay buchanan's endorsement.
Ah, Dane, You left out the best part of the article.
Jacob said Congress needs fresh ideas, saying Cannon was in Washington while the national debt ballooned from $5.5 trillion to $9 trillion.
On immigration, he said, "In America, we abide by the law. When we don't abide by the law, we have anarchy." He added, "We're already in Iraq protecting other people, and we haven't secured our own borders."
He said Cannon supports the 12 million to 20 million illegal immigrants and isn't strong enough about sending them home before they can be considered for legal status.
"I'm of the belief everybody has to go back," Jacob said. "These people have brought diseases, drugs, all kinds of things to our country."
