How about this?
Do you approve of the Bush/Kennedy immigration bill if it confers legal status on not 12 million but 36 million illegal immigrants. Plus the Bush/Kennedy immigration will allow Z VISA holders to bring in wives and children under Z2 and Z3 visas. Is this OK with you?
OR HOW ABOUT-—>>> Do you approve of the Bush/Kennedy immigration bill with the assumption that 12 million illegals can request legal status. Plus the half hearted enforcement measures I now see. If you were a US Senator would you vote for the present bill?
Thanks
It reminds me of the Dubai Port Deal.
Furthermore anything that makes Ted Kennedy smile I am against. ;^)
Flattered, actually!
Thanks much. You are (were) sort of liberal on (illegal immigration) like Hugh Hewitt was. You are probably like him. Hugh says the enforcement measures just ain’t there! We get some window dressing but no real enforcement or deportation for those illegal aliens who refuse to sign onboard or who come here tomorrow and conjure up backdated documents and proof of residence.
Like George Will and Hugh Hewitt who are moderates and don't see any real enforcement in store. Just amnesty and another one down the road that this one will encourage
Why do politicians refuse to close the Border? Both dims and pubs.
There’s why.

Uncredited contributions to Social Security grew by nearly $300 billion from 2000 to 2004, a giant increase attributable mostly to illegal aliens using erroneous Social Security numbers, and one seniors group said this will become a major liability if those aliens are legalized......
Under Bush/Kennedy amnesty illegals will match themselves up with these SS contributions. Let's estimate that 50% of them will be rightfully claimed and that today's illegal aliens will get the money some day. Not Americans
So no free ride really! Plus illegals are mostly poor so just wait until they start gaming SS disability system once they get George Bush's amnesty
My experiences dealing with the illegal immigrant are virtally all positive...unlike the unfortunate folks in So. California or the border towns/states.
As a small business I can appreciate how 'cause-effect' affects local economies.
Yes, the municipalities that absorb the majority of illegal immigrants become blue-collar...at least that's what happened in Montgomery County, Maryland. But, I am not aware of the disasterous consequences happening here.
Therefore, my position is that if it works in the Peoples Republic of Maryland, it could work everywhere else.
As a self-employed person who doesn't have any safety net like unemployment compensation...medical insurance benefitsm etc., I tip my hat to the man or woman who takes the risks to enter our country to better their life.
Everytime I go to Cancun, Mexico, I wish I could stay. There are a dozen or so Freepers that wished I would too. ;^)
You're right....we should have learned our lesson on the errors of the 1986 amnesty law.
Seems the RATS have us by the shorthairs on this..because the MSM is quick to point out how 'radical' conservatives feel about the illegal...soon to be DEM voters. ;^(
I can say 'evolved' in this forum, can't I? ;^)
A small island, a dot on the map of this country. Do the math
Newsday is all over his case about illegal immigration, so you just know he’s right.
Yes,
I don't know the details, may have read it on your informative thread a few days ago, but illegals will be eligible for benefits under the proposed bill.
Some benefits with less work time than citizens.
The Mexicans have figured out how to screw America in every way possible. Not that they're so smart, our own government helps them do it. Says a lot about how much our own government cares about American citizens - NOTHING!
Welcome back. I read a lot about you on a FR thread just recently. Many were wishing you were here.
Thanks.
Travis - it's good to see ya back here.
This place is starting to look more familiar now ;>)

Yup!
Hey....welcome back!
There are over 10 million in Texas also. I think the number may be over 50 million. 10 million per year have been coming in for the 5 years they have been using the 12 million figure.
Your right, several years ago before all this immigration reform stuff got hot, the MSM was using an 18 to 20 million illegal figure in their reporting.
When the immigration debate became hot and on the forefront, I noticed the media began to dumb down the 18-20 million illegal figure to 10-12 million.
The MSM has been complicit in the attempt to legalize millions of illegals by dumbing down the numbers by 8 million or so to make Amnesty a bit more palatable to the average joe-six pack.
Shameful socialist!
Bttt!
I'll.......t-t-t-try!
