This bill is not worth the paper on which it is written. Not one more vote! Not one more dime! Any Republican who does not filibuster the McCain-Kennedy shamnesty is derelict and must be removed at their next election. Down with McCain.

This jerk thinks he was elected by mexicans instead of Colorado citizens.

It's worse than you think. Salazar's amendment requires the federal government to undertake to "preserve and enhance the use of English as a language of the United States."

That's right. It says "a" language of the United States. Just one language among hundreds.

That's not a promotion. It's not even keeping the status quo. It's a demotion.

They don’t need this amendment. They’re coming for jobs not for social services! /sarc

Our only hope is the House...even there it’s a slime chance it’ll be DOA.

INHO The U.S. Senate should be declared “Enemies Of The State” and brought up on charges of TREASON.

Plain and Simple.

Inhofe’s amendment to make English the official and only language of the documents passed just after this by a 64-32 margin.

Does that make Salazar’s amendment moot?

[CharlesWayneCT]

This bill is so bizarre. They just passed THIS amendment to require government to provide help in other languages, then they turn around an pass an “english as official language” amendment. It’s like they don’t really care about what is in the bill, just so long as they pass something.

They obviously intend to re-write this thing in conference, and then shove it down the throats of the republicans who already were snookered into voting for it and losing their own conservative base.
