Hi Folks.
In an effort to douse disinfectant on this debate, I'll try to post a daily thread. The details of this garbage legislation, once uncovered, are mind-boggling. I'm sure the elites would much prefer we not know or discuss them.
So far the Grassley Amendment is being discussed. This amendment would dump the judicial review/appeal process of a revoked visa (in the current and new law) and make the process similar to that of a denied visa. Inotherwords, GO HOME.
Grassley pointed out that under this legislation, even terrorists can appeal a revoked visa. His argument thus far is being countered by Kennedy and Menendez, D of New Jersey. He's currently droning on and on right now...nation of immigrants...family values don't end at the Rio Grande...jobs Americans won't do...
Get the picture?
I hope we are watching a meltdown of the pro-amnesty senators!
Cubicle bound. What’s going on this afternoon at hearings?
“Where are all the anti-illegal anti-amnesty Lawmakers....they’re going to blow this!”
Don’t forget, the anti-illegal anti-amnesty lawmakers don’t think that we are stupid like McCain and Kennedey, et al do!!
..however, when they did the role call, I clearly heard..."Grassley, aye"....
..so now I'm confused.
I thought the Bingaman admentment countered the Grassley amendment?????
Who did he say was up next?
Somebody else to preach to their choir?
Poor Grassley!
Did you just hear that they want to present an unrelated matter? What a joke!
Let's put the heat on Kyl!
Don’t forget also that Sessions has threatened to filibuster and I believe Vitter also. A single senator has power to halt legislation...thank good Lord
Looks like Alexander is doing just that.
So, does that mean we just have to listen to them toot their horns, tweaking this to their liking until the vote on the whole thing happens and then Sessions can filibuster?
“Looks like Alexander is doing just that.”
Doing what, dear? What? Halting the legislation???
Well, here’s the thing about this legislation. Right now so many amendments are being offered, nobody knows what the final bill will look like. It may look nothing at all like the original. I would imagine a senator would let all the amendments go and see what the final bill looks like before filibustering.

I think a major “regroup” is in process.
So is the immigration debate over for today? Don't forget people, I'll try to put up a thread every day as long as this goes on. Check in if you can.
Funny you should say that- I was reading Michelle Malkin’s piece today- and thought, ok ...we’re REALLY in the Twilight Zone. WTH.
I’m off for a little bit- am going to try and catch up..
The screen caption says something about making it a "crime to dig a tunnel under the US Border"..Beam them up now!

Everybody on the floor is sputtering!
They could keep doing this for a year, maybe two.
