Sorry. I should have continued reading.
There are no guarantees. What kind of America do you think we’ll have 10 - 15 - 20 years after this amnesty bill passes? What kind of America do you think we’ll have if the current crop of hard-lefties in the Democratic Party gain complete control of the apparatus of the state?
I wasn’t looking for a generalization. I was looking for specifics.
Conservatives are a stubbornly principled lot. If the GOP wishes to prop up a pro-aborter, or an open border goon, or a gun-grabbing fanatic, don’t expect support from the Conservative base... whether the MSM reports on the so-called “Schism” or not. We know what the candidates stand for, and we don’t need the “DBM” to mainline it into our brains in order for us to understand.
I don’t believe that this is a difficult concept to grasp. If you are looking for a dedicated crowd to rah-rah for the Republican team no matter how hard they suck eggs, you should probably seek to shift that “big tent” to the left. Conservatives won’t cheer for the leftification of the Republican party. Sorry.

IN ORDER FOR A NONIMMIGRANT (TEMPORARY WORKER) TO BECOME AN IMMIGRANT (PERMANENT WORKER) TO WORK AND LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES, THEY MUST FOLLOW THESE 10 STEPS:
1. Contact an Immigration lawyer.
2. Your lawyer sends a Questionnaire for completion to both you, the Employee, and to your Employer
3. Gather all necessary documents including education records (degree and transcript), experience letters from former employers, resume, passport, all previous visas and approval notices, copy of I-94 card, birth certificate of all family members, marriage certificate, spouse’s and children’s passports and visa history.
4. Employer prepares recruitment history showing efforts by employer to employ U.S. workers.
5. Employee and Employer send completed Questionnaires and documents to lawyer.
6. Your lawyer submits the petition to the federal Department of Labor (DOL) through the online PERM program. DOL adjudicates the Labor Certification.
7. Once Labor Certification is approved, your lawyer submits an I-140 petition for approval.
8. Upon approval of the I-140, you must have a medical examination, have pictures taken, compile federal tax returns, and complete a new questionnaire from your lawyer.
9. Your lawyer then submits an I-485 Adjustment of Status petition.
10. The Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services then contacts you for an interview or in some cases, approves petition without an interview. Once approved you are an immigrant (permanent resident) and can become eligible for U.S. citizenship through naturalization.
(Fact Sheet: Fair and Secure Immigration Reform)
Read them both...until recently our law enforcement (police) and real estate agents, schools, hospitals etc. were not allowed to ask if the person or persons applying for any of the afore mentioned - if they were Citizens or if they had proper papers. Voter ID with picture should be required by ALL states and even that may not be enough. Call or fax your representatives and senators to vote NO on the impending bill. It does not give arrival and departure times for the day or seasonal laborer among many other oversights....health care, schooling of illegal children etc.
How many times must the citizens of America appease Ted Kennedy the socialist, to reduce friction in Washington and harm the country? I've had it with that man and the people that keep him in office…..tyranny? You bet!

Republican supporters of the Senate’s latest amnesty bill are trying to distract voters by dangling before them the requirements for an illegal alien to become a citizen or purchase a green card. These requirements make this bill a tough, no-cave-in reform, proponents say, that responds to the public’s outrage over immigration law-breaking. Don’t be fooled.
Prerequisites to citizenship or permanent residency status are irrelevant to whether this bill rewards law-breaking or will encourage more in the future. Its key feature is rather that illegal aliens, according to press reports, can immediately have their illegal status wiped away with a temporary-residency permit, available virtually upon demand. That’s it. The rest is noise. Whether or not one has to show English proficiency and a knowledge of civics to become a citizen is irrelevant from an illegal alien’s perspective; a minute proportion of illegal or even legal Mexican and Central American immigrants come here with the desire to become citizens. The naturalization rate among qualified Hispanics has traditionally been negligible compared to other national groups; it started rising only when Congress required citizenship to receive welfare benefits.
There is no ambiguity about the effects of amnesty. Everywhere they have been introduced—including in Europe—they have brought in their train a new flood of illegals. This latest bill will do the same.
Well said. Well said, indeed.
I was referring to third party emergence on the political scene. Maybe conservatives will organize instead of go down with the GOP.
“Government is not your friend.”
Roger that.
“I pledge allegiance to the flags of the North American Union . . . “
No way Jose.
This is NOT a Republican or Democratic problem, this is an American Citizen's problem - we have allowed this to happen over years of neglecting our elected. Instead of wasting time complaining, call the White House comment line and CALL those you elected and put their feet in the FIRE...TO VOTE NO!!!!!
I think it goes something like this...Because the alternative would have been even worse
Yep, nothing new under the sun.
Their biggest priority was to get rid of Rick Santorum and replace him with Bob Casey, who is now proving himself to be a reliable George Soros sock puppet.
The reall cause? Rinos like you?

99% of the people you pinged voted republican in 2006. What do you want from us? Blood? Well, now you got it. Stuff it.
Two words - Veto pen
But why would Bush Veto this?
Why so angry? You won, dude! This is your day to celebrate.
"This thing" is GWB's and the RNC's Mel Martinez' top priority. It would be going nowhere if the President wasn't hellbent on forcing it on us.
After this I can not hold my nose any longer. I will continue to vote conservative. But now that does nto necessarily mean republican.
