Congress will approve an immigration bill that will grant citizenship rights to most of the 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens in the U.S. after Democrats take control next month, predict both sides on Capitol Hill. While Republicans have been largely splintered on the issue of immigration reform, Democrats have been fairly unified behind the principle that the illegals currently in the country should get citizenship rights without having to first leave the country.

This isn't news. The Republicans were only to placating the base prior to the election. They would have passed the same type of legislation, too. Just watch and see how many vote to support this, now that the election is over.
Atleast 20 million new Democrats, and that's if they only vote once. Thanks to our toothless President and Senate Republicans, who always sell out the middle class to satisfy the fat cats, letting illegals flood across the Mexican border for the past six years. However, the fat cats will now be backing Hellery, because they know they can get much more bang for the buck in bribing Hellery. Just look at Arkansas and the Rose Law Firm in the 80s, and Johnny Chung and the Chinese cash during the Clintoons first run, and you can see what D.C. will look like again.
Hey, but the border bots showed the GOP by staying home. Now of course they're going to squeal the loudest and blame the GOP some more.
Thanks to Lou Dobbs, Michael Savage and their fans.
You made sure a Dem congress is elected to force a amnesty program on the nation.
Of course
Yaknow, I like WH Press Secretary Tony Snow. But it absolutely amazed me that his very first comment on the election results was that it would probably make it easier to pass immigration "reform".
What have we done????

If he signs it, put Bush next to Carter on the Wall of Shame.
It will be 100 million in a couple of years. It will trigger a wetback tsunami from the south.
You are scapegoating.
The one who signs this into law will be a REPUBLICAN President.
He could veto it, but he won't. Because he has been pushing it for the last 6 years.
Only a small number of Republicans will support it, if any. Of course you'll conclude based on those few Republicans that the entire contingent of Congressional Republicans are supporting it.
After the vast majority of Congressional Republicans vote against it, you'll say they're just doing that to get back into power so they can then support it. It's obviously pointless for a Republican candidate to seek the support of someone like you.

Ask Haley to run!!!!!!
..soon I'm not sure my tagline, which I've used since joining, will have much meaning anymore..
IF they pass this appalling legislation, rewarding millions of lawbreakers.....I will no longer feel bound to obey any law. Including tax law.
Under the table it is! The best part will be that my money will no longer be going to the bloated beasts of medicare and social security.

I don't know why you are so sure he will sign it. He was pushing a guest worker program, with the possibility of citizenship for some down the road. He has not been "pushing it for the last 6 years".
But the more important point is a logical one: He's not the Congressional Republicans, most of whom did not support the proposal. There's nothing you can point to that says otherwise. I don't understand why people keep merging multiple people into one person.
After this we could just grant citizenship for French people too.
I think maybe we should all give it up and go with the flow, or better yet - milk the flow. We can retire as millionaires in the next couple of months by selling bottles of water for $3.95 in the desert areas along the border. ¡Viva la inundación!
It is open knowledge that Bush was liberal on immigration issues.
The one thing that stood between him and amnesty is the Republican house, thanks to the efforts of Dobbs, Savage and others the Republican congress is gone and will be replaced by a Dem one.
So a amnesty program now will be most likely on Dem terms and you are right Bush can still veto it but he mostly likely wont do it.
Still if Congress had been under Republican control, no amnesty program would got through.
