Those that pass this should be held criminally responsible.

Excellent work, sir.

I have passed this around the outside FR world already.

Great work.

“The Globalist Wet Dream and Mexico Ass-Kissing Act of 2007.”

So named. (sound of gavel coming down).

Correction: Kennedy’s book was called “My Senator and Me.” All the liberal media thought that it was SO cute. Libraries across the country undoubtedly bought it, because all they do is order according to the recommendations of the reviews. There is a section of it on how a bill becomes a law. The dog intervenes at one point to break an imapsse by barking.

That would fit, for this bill is for the dogs.

Anyway, you can check it out here:

Absolutely. McCain is gone.

I believe he already knew it going into this and this is his “screw you” present to America for not recognizing his genius.

Even after he retires, he’ll be like Carter and stick around for the ego trips and throw wrenches into the conservative works.

Umm, thanks.

Let's just keep this monstrosity from passing.

NO cheers, unfortunately.

1) The Senate Bill Would Make It Impossible To Deport Most Illegal Aliens For Years "What about illegal alien protection? The alien and their families who file applications for amnesty �shall not be detained, determined inadmissible, deported, or removed until their applications are finally adjudicated, unless they commit a future act that renders them ineligible with amnesty.� With tens of millions of applications, this amnesty, this provision essentially guarantees an illegal alien years of protection in the United States, even if they do not qualify for the amnesty." -- Jeff Sessions 2) Consultations Between United States And Mexican Authorities At...

Whatever happened with the law that “ no profit can be made from criminal activity”?

Glenn Beck has a special on illegal immigration on his Friday TV program. During the program, he made a comment that he thought the US government has already settled the lawsuit brought by the drug dealer who was shot by Border Patrol Agents Jose Alonso Compean and Ignacio Ramos. Beck mentioned that rumor is the lawsuit was settled for a few $million.

If true, talk about hitting the jackpot -- you get to continue trafficking drugs across the border, you get immunity from prosecution, and you get the US government to pay you a few $million for the Border Patrol inconveniencing you.

Thomas only gives temporary links, so you have to print everything and then hope it is not amended.

I hope this is killed. This is insane from the risk of terrorism, e.g. 911, Fort Dix Six, etc., to the cost of entitlements and the welfare state. Call or write your Senators and Representative.

SEC. 135. WESTERN HEMISPHERE TRAVEL INITIATIVE.

This section provides for replacing passports with substitute “passport cards.” It is just too much hassle to have to issue all those passports, so a card will be used for Canada, US, México, and the West Indies. It’s so much easier. It’s also easy to fake, but what the heck: anything is worth saving some real work by the State Department staffers. I guess that they figure that it is lucky that there is no terrorist threat out there.

This provision was probably favored by the travel industry. Probably also it was favored by the lazy and improvident, who cannot plan ahead and get a passport: I am sure that the group I just described is 99% Demonrats.

>>THIS LINK should take folks to the text of S.1348 <<

No, no, no! That is a copy of the 2006 bill. Please everyone, stop posting links to this bogus placeholder. This is closer to the real draft, which is also an abomination, although I'm sure it is changing as we speak: text from NRO

One half the Ft. Dix six are here illegally with a combined 65 violation, under the nose of the police and nothing is done for years.

But this mess [above] will be enforced after 20M illegals are dclared legal.

I would remind everyone that an estimated 1/3 to 1/2 of the illegals in the USA entered the country legally and have overstayed what their visa or entry documents allowed. That would be an estimated minimum of 4 million over-stayers based on a minimum estimate of 12 million illegals currently residing in country. Source: USA Today article of May 1, 2006; http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2006-05-01-our-view_x.htm

Would anyone be willing to grant amnesty to all of these folks who have overstayed their welcome. You can be sure the current Senate legislation does not address this issue in any meaningful way.

Wrong. Please FOLLOW THE LINK I posted! It is dated May 2007.

Or, try this one... same thing in PDF Version.
http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=110_cong_bills&docid=f:s1348pcs.txt.pdf

It is also the legislation that is linked if you go look at what is scheduled for the Senate Floor tomorrow.
http://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/legislative/d_three_sections_with_teasers/calendars.htm

Instead, you give me a PDF file from NRO, with no citation, no source, no official anything.... and you are telling me my link is bogus?

Convince me.

What I should say is that your linked document is bogus. I think the amnesty crowd (Reid etc.) posted a copy of the 2006 bill in that library to make sure we don’t see anything like the real text, so that they can claim we are “uninformed.” And perhaps to waste our time.

Search for “Z Visa” and “Triggers” in both files. Do you really think the real text will not mention “Z Visa?”

Okay this is only the second time I was angry enough to post instead of just read. Just got back from Sam’s Club in Raleigh, NC. There was a stand set up in the front of the store with Mexican flags, Mexican music playing, and a big dancing duck.........passing out samples of some kind of Mexican candy. There were swarms of hispanics laughing, dancing, & sampling. Now I know what elders mean by the good ole days.

Grey Whiskers, thanks for this. I say this through gritted teeth, because the more I read about this debacle, the angrier I get. And oh yes, did you know that the RNC has issued a request that all good Republicans support this...thing?

But, just so you know, according to those same Republicans, this is not an amnesty bill. (They’re right: It’s actually much worse than that.)

You may have something: the text of your file has section 218 identical to section 217 of what I posted from.

And Section 301 in the document I posted has the same title as the Section 302 in your document.

The contents of section 301 vs. 302 are quite similar though not identical.

And yes, Z-Visa is mentioned in your document, but not in the one I posted.

I may have to do a point-by-point on the document you posted.

Cheers!
