Excellent news.

If it doesn’t pass, some lawyers could make money implementing the solution — RICO lawyers could turn it around in a few years and MAKE MONEY at the same time. I’m surprised they haven’t done it already.

In the absence of enforcement,we can get the word out in the meantime that there is money to be made in filing RICO lawsuits against employers who hire illegal aliens.

Employers would have no trouble shutting down the border if they could get sued by someone under the RICO statutes for hiring these people in the first place. The next time an illegal alien kills someone in a drunk driving accident or somesuch thing, I’m going to point out that the victim’s family might be able to seek compensation from the employer under these statutes in the hopes that it would catch on. If this did catch on, would see such a swift backlash against illegal immigration that no employer would go near these people and they’ll all simply want to go back home.

They’ll try again tonight. If it fails then too, the pro-criminal axis will pull the bill and the American people win.

Where was all those GOP votes that loser Trent Lott promised to deliver.

Looks like they are beginning to run for the tall grass. And thats a good thing.

Chambliss now has at least one primary opponent. I suspect more primary opponents will get into the race in other states...especially South Carolina.

I propose a single exception to the 1st Amendment: the word REFORM will be prohibited in all legislative activity.
