This is a surprise.
Doesn't sound like the "comprehensive" plan is on the table any more..
Yeah! Keep the women down! No female role models smuggled into the US, you sexist ba$tard!

You've never said anything intentionally funny in your life, Joe.
Biden is from Deleware, not Taxachusetts
For those of you keeping score at home, "Mass." is the abbreviation for "Delaware", and "advise" is the AP word for "advice".
Even a broken watch is right twice a day. Reid is now going to make him stay after school as punishment.
Shocking. A Democrat making good sense. Yes, Mexico is at fault here, for having a crony economy and refusing to reform. It is more convenient to the ruling elite to send millions of your poorest workers over the border rather than actually do the hard work of finding them jobs.
Mark this date, everyone, as it's surely the first time in years that a Democrat has blamed any country but the U.S. (and maybe Israel) for anything.
No KIDDING that he's posturing himself for a run at the White House.
All joking about Biden aside, I'm sincerely curious as to what Biden meant by calling Mexico an "erstwhile" democracy. Erstwhile of course means "former." Surely Biden doesn't think that Mexico was ever a democracy. For that matter, as corrupt as it is now, it is at least marginally more democratic today than it was 20 years ago, when the PRI ruled as a one-party dictatorship. Elections might be deeply corrupt, but at least there is some semblance of a multi-party system.
So, to repeat, what do people think Biden had in mind in calling Mexico an "erstwhile" democracy? Might he think erstwhile means "supposed," perhaps?
I wonder why he didn't proclaim that BEFORE the election?
If anyone here believes one word that Joe Biden says about anything, shame on us all.
Thanks senator Idiot, but no thanks. The Mexicans wouldn't come if we didn't let, and in fact encourage them.
Holy Toledo. Snowmen are break dancing in Hell.
How did he vote on that monstrosity of an immigration bill? He had to have voted for it.

Borders are my #1 issue when voting. Given the choice between a pro-amnesty Republican and a pro-border-security Democrat, I will choose the Democrat every time.
I think we are seeing a parallel here between the "Only Nixon could go to China" and this "Only the Democrats can stop the invasion of illegals".
Unfortunately, like all politicians, he lies. From http://www.ontheissues.org/Senate/Joe_Biden.htm
