I must have missed that post on this thread where "someone" suggested that.
Please point it out.

I would otherwise NOT be for the passage of any such bill, but at this point, perhaps it's time to send the freaking base a "message", as it "will only last 2 years". LOL........I'm with you. All this talk about "teaching a lesson" has certainly sunk in with me; I've learned pretty damn quick who cares about this country and who only cares about themselves.
I hope the GOP has "learned" their lesson about dealing with the "blackmail vote" wing of our party.

The City of Hazelton, PA, passed a provision that does just that. If someone is going to sign a year lease, it makes sense that they can demonstrate they can be here legally that entire year. So you don't mind having to show papers also?

Sounds like a good idea to this Texan...I predict that within my Grandchildrens lives this sort of ideas may be more than just idle talk. Our country is terribly divided and may in fact not be able to put back together again in it's present form of government. It's already moving past the stage of idle talk.

So you don't mind having to show papers also?This is very confusing to me, among other things.
I was positive that "real, true" conservatives were against ANY kind of national ID.
How about you?

The funny part is that you and others here ASSUME to know how some of us voted.

I'm sorry for misleading. I was being very sarcastic. Not at you, but at the fools that think the 'message" thing was a good idea.
To: Howlin
Even smarter move, butting in where you're not concerned. I'm concerned, all right. This is an open thread on citizenship for 20+ million illegals, despite your attempts to stifle discussion by name-calling.

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. My big issue this past election was illegal immigration. However, I went against my better judgement, held my nose, and voted straight Republican. So, now I will say, if a bill passes, with Republican support, that gives amnesty or any automatic path to citizenship, Republicans will pay even bigger next time. It will be a cold day in hell before I vote Republican again.

I'm just appalled at a door to door sweep of Mexicans just because they're Mexicans. I've already said that simply asking proof of legal residence in this country can be done away from front doors. One can make it much more difficult for an illegal to get a job, rent an apartment and use government services without significant infringement on the rights of legal residents. The trick is to make illegals want to self-deport. Just as it took years of neglect by Clinton for al Qaeda to fester, it took twenty years of poor enforcement and influence by corrupt business interests for this problem to develop. And it is a serious problem. Failing to drive illegals out through some rather basic measures, and instead rewarding them for being here illegally will just make more want to come here - especially with the leftism sweeping Central and South America (with economic decline close behind).
We HAVE TO GET SERIOUS NOW. Unfortunately, I doubt we will. The GOP took their mandate to use their power wisely to fight the war and pi**ed it away with their infatuation over pork and power. With their nomination of Lott to be Senate whip, they have shown they would rather defend a smaller slice of the pig than to reform - so they will be easy pickings for those who wish to further prolong the illegal immigration issue.
Which means that when the crackdown does come, it will be more draconian than what Eisenhower did - just as the Europeans will end up being quite draconian with the Islamists in their midst.

Of course, I thought "real, true" conservatives were against the government butting into people's business and people's bedrooms, but, as we've seen over the past few years, as long as it's THEIR views and beliefs, some people on here are F I N E with using the government to implement them.

Why is it fascinating, because you've realized that you don't understand the written English language?

Full blown illegal apologist.
Congrats. You've dragged out all the silly stereotypical lib crapola except for the issue of race. Go for it.
