Glad to see one of my Senators involved in something this positive. Channeling Ol ‘Jesse on this one.

They keep bandying the word “compromise” around but when a real compromise is suggested the proponents throw a tantrum.

“What people want, and what we’ve heard from thousands of people, is they don’t have any confidence right now with regard to securing the borders,” Dole said in an interview

And her husband fought in WWII to save our country just to have some bought-and-paid-for traitorous mental midget try and give our country away.

‘It’s no wonder GOP contributions are down’...

On my kitchen counter is a pre-paid GOP fundraising envelope ready to go out today...no check...just the hand-written comment ‘secure the border and enforce existing law’.

Dear Liz,

Thanks, first of all, for your work in this.

Now, I respectfully suggest the following:

We need several individual, smaller, more comprehensible bills:

  1. SECURE THE BORDER FIRST!
  2. DEMAND SECURE ID for ALL employment, and that ALL employers verify workers’ ID on the Federal website (to come) and supply that they supply IRS with those credentials for any and all income deductions. Penalize ALL who don’t comply -— heavily !!! Including private persons who are hiring illegals for landscaping, etc. I’ll be happy to pay extra for my lettuce and apples!
  3. STOP allowing benefits and handouts of ANY type for anyone who doesn’t have SECURE ID and who is not legal. Stop federal kickbacks to states and cities that choose to do otherwise.
  4. Give hospitals and emergency services explicit permission to deny service to illegals and shield them from lawsuits from illegals, or those unable to prove their legal status.
  5. STOP Anchor Babies!!!! BY CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT IF NECESSARY!

I believe that many illegals will discover it behooves them to leave - we won't have to 'deport 12million people' - especially when they are then able to apply (at their home country) for the very generous and expanded “guest worker” program which will have some 'points' for being able to speak American (certainly they learned our language while they've been here illegally, right?) and other possibilities I will be happy to support AFTER these get accomplished and enforced.

Or, scared that they will not get reelected. This is probably closer to the truth.
