Billions for illegals to colonize our country ... but no windmills for Cape Cod to compromise Ted’s view of Nantucket Sound.

“It’s third party time for me if this goes through. Not that it will matter, with the millions and millions of new Democrats that amnesty will provide.”

I don’t think it’s sunk in yet how done we are. For the first time in my life, I’m actually wondering if living in America is the best thing.

Amen to your comments.

If, and only if, the Repblicans choose a candidate that is not bought and paid for by the U. S. Chambers of Commerce, the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB), et al, most true conservatives will NOT be voting Republican come '08 and in fact, many of us will rise up against our local elected officials and support opposing candidates in their Primaries.

Hopefully, other irate citizens around the country will also go after the elected dims in their areas.

Yes, you’ve got to ask why bother with Iraq and Afghanistan if we are about to destroy the US on our own. Al Qaeda and the Taliban would be wish to just wait a little while and they won’t have to attack.

BUT I am beyond words or emotions with this latest news...

THIS IS SO UNFAIR!!!!............SO UNFAIR!!!!

It's just WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! and no amount of words can make it right!

PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED????f

I can't get the images of the illegals thumbing their noses on camera and demanding this and that....

What is happening to our country.....?

WHY is Bush doing this????

I am one who plays by the rules....

..We taught our children to respect authority....to play by the rules.

Why does my hardworking husband and all of you hardworking people HAVE TO PAY FOR ILLEGALS....FOR ALL OF THEIR FREEBIES....ALL OF THE THINGS THEY WILL NOW DEMAND????

This was just a way to edge Asians out of the running. They'll give extra points for attending American gradeschools, and take away points for having an advanced degree from a foreign university.

Kennedy, Specter, McCain, Graham, and the others are exceedingly biased against Asians.

Rush: “This bill is worse than doing nothing it all. It’s already bad enough...”

I have come to the conclusion that given this Congress and the present political climate, doing nothing is the best alternative.

I was about to post this. This is a travesty. Rush said today that we will almost definately lose in 2008 over this. Sadly, I agree.

I agree with Mr. Limbaugh. I just don't see any way that this amnesty will help net us any votes in 2008.

I hope that Representative Hunter will explicitly campaign against passage of this amnesty.

This is bigger than 2008. It is bigger than the Republican Party. This is about what kind of America we will have. The hell with the stupid politics. It’s about whether there will still be an America that we can recognize.

The globalists will make sure that there is nowhere to run. Yes, the U.S. is heading down the crapper, but everywhere else is worse.

Bush is doing this because he’s been bought. Hard to believe a guy who can lay his hands on most of a billion dollars would sell out so easy.

Call your Congressman and tell them NOT to support this.

If they hear from enough of us MAYBE it will help.

Take a few minutes and see.

I think some Republicans need to run as Democrats so we can split the Democratic party. The liberals have certainly been running as Republicans from state level to national level.

I also think this generation of Republicans have no teeth and are a bunch of wimps. They will be the reason why America turns into a police state for working, Christian, heterosexual, parents. They are not fighting for America, they are watching America get high-jacked by leftist radicals who do not represent the majority of America and are doing NOTHING about it.

Get ready to say, Madam President.

I stand in disbelief at how they can sellout America and call themselves “Americans”.

They're as much American as Benedict Arnold. Blackbird.

Windmills might interfere with the Royal Kennedy yacht.
On the other hand, Kennedy ONLY sees those illegals he
takes for servants or ... uh .. his other prerogatives.

If Bush endorses this, he'll become the worst Republican president of all time in my opinion.

What do you mean, "IF?" He's already been quoted as being thrilled with it. It's what he's always wanted, the elimination of those pesky borders.

The total sellout of my country is now almost complete. Unfreakingbelieveable.

Call the Whitehouse comment line and leave a message for Bush on what a traitor to Americans he is.
This was a compromise between the Senate and the Whitehouse.

I finally have something the Dems and I agree on - it’s time to bring the troops home.

It is asinine to have Americans dying in Iraq when we have just given away America and all it stands for to an illegal alien horde and a profiteering political elite.

Bring the troops home, and let them at least enjoy the last few days of a dying nation. Their final insult will be a few years down the road when an illegal alien culture schooled in the corruption and socialism of Latin America replaces Memorial and Veterans Days with hispanic festivals like Cinco de Mayo and Bolivar Day. Can’t wait to see future President Villagarossa welcoming President Chavez.
