The Senate bill, indeed any bill that includes amnesty, will surely make the immigration mess worse than it is today.

But it looks like the amnesty bill is in danger. There is a real backlash against it.

The intended consequences are bad enough, Only God knows what might happen with the unintended consequences.

Romney's a screaming liberal. And a liar to boot.

Thompson says deporting the illegal who are here is "unrealistic."

That disqualifies both of them.

So at the moment, Hunter looks like the only half-way viable candidate.

This is pretty scarry:

“Hobbled Background Checks: The bill would make it extremely difficult for the federal government to prevent criminals and terrorists from obtaining legal status. Under Section 601(h)(1), the bill would allow the government only one business day to conduct a background check to determine whether an applicant is a criminal or terrorist.”

Here’s what REAL Immigration Reform will look like:
1: Deport ALL illegals IMMEDIATELY
2: Close the borders IMMEDIATELY. Use deadly force. Some may die but not many as word will get out.
3: PAYBACK TIME FOR MEXICO:
A: Demand repayment for all services and support payments issued to illegals from Mexico. This includes repayment for incarceration expenses of Mexican citizens.
B: Demand that taxes be paid on ALL money sent to Mexico, with penalties and interest. The IRS is
really good at tracking down this type of thing, let them work on it.
4: LET MEXICO REPAY THE U.S. IN OIL. They have LOTS of oil, and the U.S. needs cheap oil.
5: There will be NO immigration from Mexico until the balance is paid.
6: The U.S. and it’s citizens will boycott Mexico and products made in Mexico until the repayment is complete.
7: Keep the borders closed. THERE WILL BE NO MORE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

"The best chance we have is to get Romney, Thompson or maybe Hunter in there."

Two out of three ain't bad.
And, he got then in reverse order.

(Hunter, Thompson, and if all else fails, Romney.)

Any chance Hunter would bring the Calif. Electoral votes to the GOP in ‘08?
I thought the only reason for choosing a VP was to try and garnish their state’s votes...

Too early to care...I’ll be writing in my Mother for office again this election cycle...

This was clearly posted by a time traveler. Notice his reference to the current immigration bill! OOOH! Spooky.

Just kidding, bro. Carry on. :)

Either Hunter or Tancredo. I’ve already written off Romney or Thompson.

EXACTLY.

And of the three, I would rank Hunter # 1
Thompson # 2 and Romney a very distant # 3.

The rest are useless. If any of them are nominated, the Republican Party - what’s left of it post Jorge El Segundo and McClown anway, is finished.

How do I fix a thread title?

The intended thread title is: “This Immigration Bill is Built to Fail”

I dont know how that comment about Pres candidates became the thread title. Also, date needs to be fixed.
