Unfortunately- I don’t trust my government to DO what Domenici SAYS it will.

Sheesh. Someone tell Domenici that we don’t need this bill to secure the borders.

Of course I trust the fine New Mexico Senator! We’re going to have FOUR AERIAL UNMANNED vehicles!

/no mention that those were authorized last year...

Domenici's screams are a lie. The bill reduces the wall on the southern border, which so far has only had 2 miles built. It also does no good to have more border patrol agents if they have no authority to enforce the law (i.e. Ramos & Compean)

Even if the border is secure, the American people don't want to put illegals on the path to citizenship.

Domenici is either demented or a lying SOM “Nothing happens until the border is secure”. Lie.

He's jabbing his finger, looks wild and frantic, and is pounding away on that podium like crazy. Well, I hope this means we've got them on the run.

The bill legalizes the status of 12 to 20 million illegals immediately given them probationary legal status. They are now legal. Domenici hasn’t read the entire bill you addled old man.

Domenici is a big reason why the laws haven’t been enforced. He’s been in the Senate since the ‘70s, and has done NOTHING ABOUT OUR LEAKY BORDERS, and he’s in a border state. Maybe he has seen the light.

Well- in theory- they’re supposed to do something around 6 (eastern)....but ...hard to know at this point.

HOWEVER. APPARENTLY- what they’re voting on is cloture on last year’s bill. THEN they slide THIS year’s bill in under that vote.

Don’t ask...

Someone should ask him about when his parents came over.

Did they push their children to speak English and be Americans?

They are trying like h*ll to sell this. And another thing, I wish they’d stop with patting themselves and each other on the back.

Stop telling the people it’s hard to do. At $165,000 base salary for congress, I truly don’t give a d*mn how hard it is - that’s what you’re getting paid to do.

Important point, bears repeating. We need to preserve America's sovereignty.
