Rudy's butt boy Deroy Murdock is using this to bash McCain while ignoring the fact that Rudy has supported shamnesty for years.
By pushing this bill, John McCain is alienating GOP primary voters. Come 2008, he may become one lonely maverick. Meanwhile, by embracing this legislation, President Bush is smashing his loyal Republican base to smithereens.
McCain-Kennedy is as wildly popular as algebra homework on prom night. Congress should drop kick it into the Rio Grande.

These people and political perverts. This thing is TOTAL INSANITY. Totally UN-AMERICAN. Bush does not care — he is looking for ANYTHING to put in his legacy — even if it means the ruination of America. McCain is just plain crazy and he has no allegance to anyting other than his face in the mirror.
God help us kill this monster before Washington destroys America.
“few LEP [limited-English-proficient] persons”
Does this mean they are LEPers?
WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!
Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them. This is a bipartisan issue not a Conservative or Liberal issue BUT AN AMERICAN issue.

Illegals also could gain amnesty without English proficiency. Up to four years after receiving brand-new, permanently renewable Z (amnesty) Visas, they merely must “demonstrate an attempt to gain an understanding of the English language.” This is like saying that thinking about maybe asking someone out means you are dating. Z-Visa holders can “demonstrate an attempt” through “placement on a waiting list for English classes.” For McCain-Kennedy, waiting equals speaking.

Here’s my amnesty program for illegal aliens: “If you go home, we won’t prosecute!”
“McCain-Kennedy would codify E.O. 13166, so only Congress could repeal it. Until then, President Bush unilaterally could cancel Clinton’s executive order. This, too, he has failed to do.”
Jim Inhofe was on radio last night talking about this. His English first amendment passed in the last senate bill, but they’ve taken it out now. He said that all the foreign language requirements were an EO by clinton, but with this legislation it will become law. Bush could have done away with it if he’d been inclined. When it’s “law’ it’s going to be much more difficult.
It’s interesting to note that both Bush and Linda Chavez are using the “race card,” something liberals always use when they don’t have a credible argument.
I got a call last night from a GOP telemarketer. That has to be one of the worst jobs in the world at this time.
Fat chance. Our schools can't seem to instill these values in the native born population....what chance does a government program have making Americans out of Mexicans?
Annoy? Aggravate? That's putting it mildly. How about outraged? Are you annoyed, aggravated or outraged with this shamnesty? Those traitors underestimate the anger of American citizens. They need to be tried for treason and punished accordingly. I'll furnish the rope. ;o)
