I have to disagree with you on Sessions.

He is literally the *only* Senator to go point-by-point through the Shamnesty Bill to unveil its flaws and deceptions.

Yesterday he was literally laughing when talking about the "fine" which makes the bill "not an amnesty".

For the first time I've heard anywhere, he explained that the $5,000 "fine" (of which only $1,000 is due upon Z visa application, and the remainder 8 years later upon permanent residence application), is actually on the installment plan.

Sessions was chuckling as he noted that the fine is actually a $200 payment due on Z visa application, and that most Z visa holders would then be instantly eligible for the $2,000 Earned Income Tax Credit. "Pay $200 to get a $2,000 tax refund? I wish I could get that deal."

I wish Sessions was my Senator, rather than RINO Warner.

Last night’s 49-48 vote to provide a sunset for the guest worker program is a sure sign the pro-illegal alien forces are in trouble.

Remember a “sunset” clause is what the democrats used to get the assault weapons ban into law with the ASSUMPTION they could just renew it forever.

This sunset is a BS argument which only demonstrates the point is to provide amnesty for 100% of current illegal aliens.

ARLEN SPECTERE has said this morning he will seek to reverse this deal breaker because it essentially eliminates the (money) support from business interests.

If they were serious, they would have eliminated the amnesty provisions and made illegals INELIGIBLE for the guest worker programs. A token fine does not make it less an amnesty, it only makes it a increased fine.

It just means they get to pay money to get ahead of current applicants.

I’m confused about Bill O’Reilly. When this immigration bill was first announced, he lamely supported it by saying it was the best bill we could get at this time. However, when I watched O’Reilly last night, he seemed to be dead set against this bill. When did Bill change his mind about this immigration bill?

Well, maybe he’s just lame in hearings. It’s clear that Sessions is one who has really carried the ball on this immigration bill, maybe more than anyone else, so he’s definitely racked up big points with me.

Point-by-point refutations, and persistence, are both very important in this business. Sounds like he’s a workhorse.
