Yo, Specter, you and your Senate colleagues already the laughingstock of the country.
>>Yo, Specter, you and your Senate colleagues already the laughingstock of the country.<<
Let me count the ways. That’s what I was going to say.
Stunning that the U.S. Senate just voted to give legal residence to murderers, thieves, credit-card and identity theft fraudsters (including Muslim ones possibly using the funds for terrorism), and all other felons. What are we coming to as a nation? Is this our Senate?
If McCain drinks anymore of that Ted Kennedy koolaid, that boy is gunna drown. What is in that stuff anyway? Hopefully it doesn't have any contraindications with the thorazine McInsane took for yesterday's debate (medicated to defer the inevitable McSplosion).
...since 1974, sneaking into Mexico has been punishable by up to two years in prison...
...the Mexican National Institute of Migration (INM) frequently raids employers and deports foreigners who work without the proper documentation...
...Legal and illegal immigrants in Mexico waive certain legal rights, such as the right to a deportation hearing or other legal motions...
...any citizen may make a citizen’s arrest on the offender and his accomplices, turning them over without delay to the nearest authorities
...in 2001, Vincente Fox sent troops to stop the illegal flow of aliens into Mexico from Central America...
...In 2004 Mexico deported 188,000 people to their countries of origin, and in he first half of 2005 120,000 people....
...Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters, and their appartenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters...
...Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country. This ban applies, among other things, to participation in demonstrations and the expression of opinions in public about domestic politics...
...Immigrants even legal ones may not become members of the clergy...

And we allow felons to stay as long as they like.

After reading this, I can only be sure
of TWO things: a)McCain is not only in
bed with the Democrats, he’s angling for
a cushy assignment from them after the
2008 elections. b) The voting records of
these Rhino Republican Senators are being
watched more closely than ever. One can
only conclude they plan on getting fat
checks (from the business people who want
cheap illiterate labor) BEFORE being voted
out of office permanently!

Bar “certain gang members”? Which sort of gang member illegal aliens are the Democrats fighting to give citizenship to?
I understand that the bill includes building a wall/fence about 300 miles long? Heard on FoxNews this morning that McCain emphatically stated that there will be NO fence or wall construction.
Yup. As the Xlintons would no doubt say...Not news. Move along, move along...
The Kennedy wing of the GOP strikes again!
LAUGHING STOCK! IT GOES BEYOND LAUGHING, IT’S DOWN RIGHT HILLARIOUS, That we, the American people put in to office to represent us, a bunch of determined, selfish, self rightious, feckless, idiological, pompous, A HOLES, Who are ignoring the American people when we say we want nothing to do with this bill. Lets make it simple for you.
CLOSE THE BORDERS
ENFORCE THE BORDERS WITH ARMED NATIONAL GUARDSMEN
ERECT THE FENCE YOU PROMISED
And then we can debate about what we should do with the illegals here. How’s that for a start! We’re surrounded by fools!
Mexico will annex the US without firing a shot.
Sanctuary cities like San Francisco ignore laws already on the books. Are the proponents of this bill actually stupid enough to think sanctuary cities are going to suddenly obey the new laws?
