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?

Good GRIEF! I have on Brit Hume's show right now and there's a report saying Trent Lott took over a closed-door immigration meeting today and is trying to persuade all parties to "damn the polls" and vote for The Thing.
I thought we were done with this guy!

No way!...I turned on Brit about 12 minutes into the program and missed this.
I did see the segment where protests were held outside Kyl's office....lots of angry people...
..one older gentleman tearing up his Republican membership card.
You're telling me Trent Lott said just do it!?
Words fail me..

Dodd just said that we need to let grandparents in to help the “pregnant women” take care of their babies. They are really pushing this now.
To: acoulterfan
They're either in denial (hearing from us)...
..or they don't care.
I fear it's the latter.

Yeah, you must have missed that one by seconds. Catch it on the rerun if you can. It left me speechless.
