Think the immigration debate is mainly about giving amnesty to the 10 million illegals already here? Think again. Amnesty is a drop in the bucket. The real issue is the staggering increase in legal immigration hidden in the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, recently passed in the Senate. By a ratio of about 4-1, U.S. voters would prefer less immigration, not more. But the Senate bill would do just the opposite. The original bill would have allowed as many as 100 million people to legally immigrate to the United States over the next 20 years. We're talking about a seismic shift of unprecedented proportions.
Facing criticism, the Senate has amended the bill - which now would allow "only" 61 million new immigrants. That still more than doubles the current legal immigration rate, from 1 million a year now to 2.5 million.
Current law would let 19 million legal immigrants enter the United States over the next 20 years; the Senate immigration bill would add an extra 42 million.
Why such extraordinary growth? Consider how the new law would work.
Under the Senate bill, immigrants could enter or attain lawful status within the country through nine channels. In each channel, immigrants would gain permanent residence and the right to become citizens:

"I the links I provided were all from anti-immigration sites"
# 1. They are not from this site.
# 2. They had never been posted on this site.
# 3.Its not "my side".
# 4. Meanwhile it talks about 200 million illegals, not 200 million Mexicans.
Next?

Mr LaRaza, you either put up a site talking about 200 million Mexican invaders, or you shut up.

Where are the facts at?
Its impossible for anyone to get desperate debating a mindless LaRaza agent.
How can anyone put up a sweat fighting an amoeba?

"I put up TWO sites."
Where is the 200 million Mexicans at?

These numbers are very conservative. I would think 100 million to 150 million will be the outcome. The whole word is going to beat a path to our door, so it could really get bad.

Hey, aren't you supposed to be joining you coyote pals smuggling in yet another illegal Mexican invader?
You are losing valuable money here.

Next subject. You "win" for Bilbray. It was GW, Larua and Cheney's telephone ads that took him over the top while the Minutemen freaks were endorsing the independent.

Ummm..you might go over our previous confrontations.
You are yet to win any.
Quashing unicellular orgasms like you gets boring after a while.
Heh Heh.

Naaaah
It was his rejection of McCain, strong stance aginst amnesty, strong support for secure borders, and his opponent's eagerness to let illegal aliens vote that did it.
Open borders lost big.
To: Jameison
LMAO and the Ya'll blamed the Utah loss on the same calls made from Bush. Once again your complete lack of shame shines through.
