Immigration Debate Will Heat Up Come Summer by Amanda B. Carpenter
After blocking off plenty of time to pay off special interests for helping them deliver midterm elections, the Democrats are kicking the illegal immigration can down the legislative road until mid-summer when the weather is warm enough to ensure that hordes of protesters will turn out to support the bill.
Immediately after being swept into power, the Democrats allocated time to debate obscure lobby reform restrictions. Thanks to them, a cottage industry of catering services that serves meals on toothpicks is now available since giving paper-plated food to Hill staffers is one of their no-no new rules. Several non-binding resolutions against the war were then debated before reluctant Blue-Dog Democrats were bought off to support a timetable for withdrawal. Now, its time for Big Labor to get their payback with the upcoming card-check bill that will make it easier to organize workplaces through legal, public coercion tactics instead of secret ballots.
Meanwhile, the immigration crisis continues to swell. Temperatures are beginning to rise again and well be treated to another summer season of news footage showing illegal aliens streaming across our borders to attend liberal pro-amnesty rallies.

Thousands of demonstrators gather Saturday [3/25/06]
in the streets of downtown Los Angeles to protest legislation
that cracks down against illegal immigrants.

Help them? Heck! He's the one who is pushing this.
Several articles have indicated that he has various meetings going on with Dems and Pubbies about the 'comprehensive immigration' bill [that is amnesty-for-illegals, whatever they call it, for those in Rio Linda].
He is bound and determined to get it through. It is about the only thing left that he can hang his legacy on -- his legacy of bringing about the North American Union, not the one of preserving sovereignty of the United States of America.

. . news footage showing illegal aliens streaming across our borders to attend liberal pro-amnesty rallies. Not enough illegals in this country, so they have to bring them in especially for the rallies?
To: CutMyTaxes
Many warned that if the Democrats (socialists) won control of Congress that they would promptly grant amnesty to illegal aliens.
Don’t look to Republicans to try and stop them. The government in Washington is in favor of illegal immigration. It is the American people who are not.
This is a clear example of what happens when the governed lose control of the rulers.
To: CutMyTaxes
undocumented immigrants. I think its time to call a spade a spade.
If they're undocumented, they're not immigrants - they're criminals.
Arrest them.

Let’s start gearing up for impeachment and recalls. If they want to play hard ball, we can too.

AMEN to that.
And if that doesn't work, ole timers used a technique that involved a heavy, sticky, warmed roofing substance, accompanied by fowl covering. Surprising, it was an effective technique for getting the message to elected politicians who became to elite for their britches.

“the cornerstone of the bill is a verification of the status of undocumented immigrants”
Hmmmmmmmmmmm Let’s take this slowly...once again...
These people are ILLEGAL ALIENS....
Give me the millions you are spending to figure out their status...I just solved it...
They are not suppose to be here ...THEY ARE IN THE UNITED STATES ILLEGALLY...

>>the cornerstone of the bill is a verification of the status of undocumented immigrants<<
I thought that meant that they were promising to create better IDs and check them more. But who knows what Specter really meant by that?
