Rep. Dan Lundgren (R-CA) proposes "Blue Cards" & $1000 fines for illegals

I just heard on FNC that the $5k is to be paid “over 8 years.”

Insult to injury, the illegals don’t like having to even pay $400/yr, while working, receiving benefits, etc, etc.

"A GOOD immigration bill has been introduced in the Senate, but no one will talk about it."

Real shocker...

It still rewards illegal behavior and I'm against ANYTHING that smacks of amnesty, period.

Better idea, make OUR immigration laws mirror Mexico’s.

Din't I tell you just the other day that I have misgivings on prosecutors who turn politician? I'm still a little wary of the guy that plays one on TV in the Law & Order show, to tell the truth.

People like Dan and Rudy and Eliot and a whole bunch of other prosecutorial types convince themselves over time that they are Eliot Ness and truly "Untouchable!" They also take on god-like powers that elevate themselves above mere mortals like us grassroots conservatives and allow them to act as activist judges while pretending to be just normal politicians.

As such, they are suddenly in a position to not only decide for all of us lesser lights, which laws need enforcement and further, how each law should be modified to suit their needs, rather than the needs of those who have suffered the blinding blizzard of selectively enforced legislation that fooled us all into believing we were a nation of laws, rather than of men!!!

What a farce! Now, as you know, I'm not as excited about Rico as you are, but he's still way better than that faux CONservative Dan Lungren!!! As far as I'm concerned, he can go pee up a rope and hang by his teeth from the other end!!!

His signs were "ORANGE?" Yee gads!!! What is he, a Scotsman, or what? Whew!!!

[SierraWasp]

"For the record, I don’t agree with mass deportation."

Why is that? Is it because we once did it to the Cherokee Nation by way of "the trail of tears?"

[SierraWasp]

Suits me, but I do still remember the Alamo, even though I ain’t wunna them Texicans, I’ma Mexifornian!!! (sadly)

[SierraWasp]

As I understand it... Sovernity was supposed to be like virginity! We weren’t supposed to start trying to surrender little bits and pieces of it at a time, right?

[SierraWasp]

"We demand perfection here at FR."

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa Ha Ha!!!

[SierraWasp]

Actually, AuntB, the best immigration law around is Mexico’s! We ought just Xerox it and claim it!!! It’s beautiful... REALLY!!! (I’m serious!)

[AuntB]

“Why is that? Is it because we once did it to the Cherokee Nation by way of “the trail of tears?”

You don’t even want to get me started on that subject.

Yes, Mexico has an immigration policy to envy. They’ll throw your foreign butt in jail if you publicly speak out too! We could use some of that.

[SierraWasp]

Ok, AuntB, I ain'ta gonna go there!!!

So what were the final tallys and the outcome for today and are they done yet, or are they gonna come back after a night on the town and vote again while DRUNK!!!

[AuntB]

Probably! That’s how they did the Brady bill. Everyone went home for Thanksgiving, except 2 dem senators (don’t remember) and 2 repubs...BOB Dole and Mark Hatfield. They called a quorum and passed that ugly puppy.

[SierraWasp]
