He seems to have a glimmer of the future if amnesty passes.
There Inhofe goes again, making sense. He knows that there’s huge difference between English as an offical language and English as a common language.
I have always liked Senator Inhofe. It appears that he is the only one not drinking Kool Aid these days.
ENFORCE - Engaging the Nation to Fight for Our Right to Control Entry -Act
I love those bill names.
A bill is just not a bill without a little pork.
We as a nation already have the right to control entry, we're just not exercising it.
I agree 100% with what Inhofe is trying to do. Nevertheless, the anchor baby issue will need to be dealt with as a Constitutional Amendment. To read the 14th Amendment like we “want” it to be read, and not as it is actually written puts those of us on the political right on the same intellectual and legal plane as those on the left who like to loosely read the 2nd Amendment.
If we can send Americans to the moon, we can send Mexicans back to Mexico.
The Duncan Hunter of the Senate.
GO INHOFE GO!
THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM BILL!
I am looking at S. 1269 on the THOMAS libraryand I don’t see anything about busting employers. It may not have the current text.
BTTT
Its just a few pages, not 1000.....
(a) Short Title- This Act may be cited as the `Engaging the Nation to Fight for Our Right to Control Entry Act or the `ENFORCE Act.

Oklahoma has the two best Senators. Inhofe and Tom Coburn. Oklahoma is Texas without the illegal aliens but with the oil. The black people there are patriotic and with some Indian in them. That’s how it seems to me.
It sounds like a good bill, can anyone think of any “gotchas”? These days I trust the senate about as far as I can spit a watermelon seed.
Senators and Congressmen will be there long after President Bush is relaxing at the ranch. Keep pressure on them and Bush will either sign or give the Republican nominee something great to run on.
On another note, a major issue in this debate is the way Bush, McCain and Graham tried to sneak, then bully this bill through by using standard liberal tactics against the base. It really was an eye opener. If those Republicans would have addressed our concerns instead of name calling who knows what might have happened.
I can’t see why bill after bill after bill has to be passed and they are all ignored! The fence bill was PASSED last year and it has gone nowhere!
here is the alternative immigration plan.
funny how Reid and Mel Martinez forgot about this during their blame americans rants.
