If it wasn't a vote for "amnesty" why did anyone vote for the Democrats?

[libbylu]

Thank you!

Try reading the article. Many of the Democrats elected supported tough immigration enforcement measures. Here in Colorado the voters passed a tough immigration legislation, even tough they voted a Dem to be the next Gov.

Is that you Fred? LOL

What we have to ask our selves, is will the influx of illegals be curtailed if we have amnesty for those who are already here?

The answer is...NO. In fact, those 20 million will eventually be able to sponsor family members to come to the US, and we'll STILL continue to have illegals crossing our Borders. The pregnant ones will be a bonus in smuggling fees to the coyotes.

There will be no end to the cycle..

I'm afraid RINOs are getting too comfortable in power and it is going to push us back to permanent minority status. Their limo is too small for a majority party and it always has been. This breaks my heart.

[Reagan Man]

You're welcome.

11.5% of all Republican seats in Congress were lost as Democrats took back control of Congress


But only 6.7% of the Members of Tancredo's Immigration Reform Caucus lost their seats.

Loss of Election by Republicans Based on Their
Immigration-Reduction Grade of This Congress


9.6% with an A grade lost

25.0% with an F grade lost


9.2% with a B grade lost

6.4% with a C grade lost

9.5% with a D grade lost

Hmm. let's see J.D Hayworth lost after he had over 60% in the last 3 elections and as for DeWine losing, he was replaced by an even bigger liberal and those dunderhead "conservative" writiers never mention that fact.

Oh I forgot that fact gets in theri way, so that's why they exclude it.

An earlier post from out of Kenya, Africa explained that the U.S. Dimwits "flocked" to the polls to demand "emissions controls." Who knows. I was hoping it was for cheaper tickets to the NASCAR races.

Actually your statistics comes a lobying group and nowhere do they actually describe their statistics or name the people who lost.

But like I said before, PT Barnum was correct, there is a sucker born every minute.

Two words - George Bush.

The first and foremost principle needs to be this: Treat those who seek to obey the laws better than those who flout them. Congress could do almost anything with regards to immigration reform and I'd be happy if it met that principle.

Oh BTW, the author of your link, Roy Beck is a person who said the time between 1925-1955 was a golden economic period in America, from a video I saw of him on FR.

Huh both my parents were children of the depression and they wouldn't consider 1930-1941 a "golden" economic time in America.

[Reagan Man]

Good points, cripplecreek.

When the Democrat Congress gets around to it, they will trashcan HR4437 and run with a variation of Senate bill S.2611, the McCain-Kennedy/Hagel-Martinez bill amnesty proposal. That means lotsa rhetoric about virtual fences, mechcanical drones and punishing employers who hire illegals. Yeah right!!!

Prez Bush will embrace whatever legislation the Dems propose, sign it into law, and take credit for solving the problem. After 6+ years in office, Dubya will grant the amesty that so many on the leftwing want to see become law in the USA. 15 million illegals are here to stay.

[BW2221]

Dane, Hayworth probably your "illegal" buddies voted for his opponent.

When enough of your "illegal" buddies get the vote, conservatives won't get elected to anything.

How are things at the Mexican embassy today?

Two words - George Bush

LOL, and the two words, nancy pelosi, is going to stop amnesty.

You all make fools of yourselves with such arguements.

[Reagan Man]

Dane, you proving once again why you're FR`s resident idiot.
