<< Congress’s week-long Memorial Day recess was expected to leave the bill in tatters. >>

Yeah, right. Talk about heavy, heavy spin.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a special interest as powerful as this combination of illegals-using open-borders business lobby and the left-wing immigration advocacy crowd, to just stick such an unpopular legislation like this up the rear of the American people.

“Today’s immigration system is too broken to go unaddressed.”
::::
NO! Our government is broken, not our laws. In fact, our government is BENT AND BROKEN. We have good laws that our malfeasant government will NOT ENFORCE.

Nice try Post.

Triumph of the Illegal Immigrant Borg.

"You just have to recognize you will get 300 calls, you'll get conflicts at town hall meetings -- all of them negative," said Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), who consulted with Kyl and hopes to carry a similar deal through the House in July. "The last few days have really turned things around."

Flake (appropriate name) doesn't think there is much opposition left, eh? Time to start pounding his phones, fax and mailbox from the "few" of us left who are against amnesty. It's not too early to start on the House side.

"...the flood of angry calls and protests that greeted the deal two weeks ago has since receded every day"..."the last few days have really turned things around."

BUMP. BOHICA.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), who led negotiations on the bill for his party, said the flood of angry calls and protests that greeted the deal two weeks ago has since receded every day.

OK, Kyl, you want to stir up the hornet's nest some more, we'll give ya more, you arrogant punk.

Today's immigration system is too broken to go unaddressed.

This is true. Unfortunately they have decided to address the situation by making it worse, with disastrous consequences looming as a result.

[TomGuy]

they believe the voices of opposition, especially from conservatives, represent a small segment of public opinion.

So, we are:

Nativists, xenophobic/xenaphobes [Tony Snow, et al]

Bigots [Lindsey Graham]

Vigilantes [George W Bush]

And now we represent a small segment of public opinion.

I guess Senator Kyl overlooked the recent poll that showed only 28% of those surveyed support the current amensty for illegals bill.

[Baladas]

Not much you can do if they’re lying to themselves...”it’s really NOT that many people against my bill”.

They need a gun pointed at their right temple while forcing them to look at ANY poll on their bill.

“You just have to recognize you will get 300 calls, you’ll get conflicts at town hall meetings — all of them negative,” said Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), “

Get a CLUE Flake, you FLAKE!!!!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I believe the calls, emails, and faxes will rev up again starting tomorrow. People haven’t forgotten, of course there’s going to be a lull because of the Memorial Day weekend and Congresscritters going home and avoiding their constituents.

Obviously the left leaning Washington Post has no stake in this amnesty bill!

[Hornet19]

Kyl has truly been a puzzlement in this mess. What a turn-around...or is that turn-coat...he’s become.

Got this in an email:

A big earthquake with the strength of 8.1 on the Richter scale hits Mexico.
Two million Mexicans have died and over a million are injured.
The country is totally ruined and the government doesn’t know where to start with asking for help to rebuild.
The rest of the world is in shock.
Canada is sending troopers to help the Mexican army control the riots. Saudi Arabia is sending oil.
Other Latin American countries are sending supplies.
The European community is sending food and money.
The United States, not to be outdone, is sending two million replacement Mexicans.

God Bless America

...damn the torpedos, full speed ahead...

I may be "a small segment of public opinion", but I have always contributed and voted GOP.

If this bill, or anything like it passes, I will NEVER contribute or vote GOP again. Never.

[Mariner]

It really is time for every male citizen to ensure he has a good "assault weapon", 6 clips and 1000 rounds of ammo.

This government has so distanced itself from the electorate that one has to wonder if it's time to hang them all.
