Monday, 1:00 p.m.: Convene and resume consideration of the motion to proceed to S. 1348, the Comprehensive Immigration Legislation.
This amnesty and rewards proposal for illegal alien invaders is a KNIFE IN THE BACK of every immigrant who obeyed the law and legally migrated here. It is a betrayal and an insult to the brave Border Patrol Agents who have been risking their lives to protect our borders. It is a gross offense against Americans who live, work, pay taxes, and obey the laws of this country.
Every politician that supports this betrayal and sellout of America does not deserve another day in office. Every one of them swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and to protect the CITIZENS of this nation. The Constitution includes a guarantee that they will protect each state from invasion (see Article IV, Section 4). These politicians have violated their oaths of office and betrayed their country and its citizens.
Ben Nelson, D of Nebraska, speaks now. I hear he’s down on this bill; ought to be good.
Excellent post! You have the spirit of our Founders. With your permission, I will email it to my friends.
Well...me thinks these guys are preaching to the choir. I just talked to Voinovich’s office and they tell me that entire chamnber is empty, however, Voinovich does have the ability to watch what is happening via tv. So, I asked if he is watching? Answer, probably not.
bttt
“Corker asking for delay.”
What type of delay?
I love it. Even Dems are trying to seperate themselves from this bill. Dem Sen. Nelson is basically saying this thing sucks.
Everybody keep calling and emailing.
Nelson: “WHY do we continue to keep asking for “comprehensive reform” when we should address this thing ONE STEP AT A TIME?”
Good to see at least 1 democrat not supporting the bill.
Nelson just said he supports cloture???????
Except Nelson will be voting FOR cloture, which rules out a filibuster by the Reps.
Start solving at the border and work from there.
Focus on securing the border and fixing our system for legal immigration.
Phrases from Sen. Nelson of Nebraska that should be repeated.
He started a quorum call...
..but Sessions stopped it?
Could someone enlighten me.
Now Sen. Kennedy and Sen Salazar ... the bums rush will begin?
Oh, God help us...The Swimmer is there. I guess the jerk is going to speak. Salazar, D of Colorado, is speaking right now...and THANKING our President and Chertoff for "all the work they have done" on this monstrosity. UGH
delay cloture for time for review.
Salazar kissing Kennedy’s butt.
Now the Dems will be playing to the Hispanic vote. The Dems want to remove this as an issue prior to the 2008 election. If they are not careful, it will become THE issue for 2008.
Granted, you didn’t ask me the question, but as for the bill-the first thing I don’t like is that it is even being offered. We’ve got immigration laws in place currently that, if followed, would take care of the problem of illegals. If existing laws cannot be enforced what’s the point of new ones?
Please FReepers, if you haven't called your Representatives, do so NOW!
Eagles UP!
