I agree it’s not dead. The backers of this bill will not give up, and neither should we. We’ll fight them tooth and nail on this. On that they can be certain

I think we need a competing bill to help kill it for good. Something along the lines of enforcing the border, building that fence, stepping up enforcement against employers with maybe a guest worker provision. Then promise to revisit the "what to do about those already here" stuff after two years.

This would allow the critters to say they are addressing the problem, etc..

Don’t kid yourself. This creature won’t be dead till this session of congress is over. The WH and the “Amnesta’s” will work feverishly to get this thing passed.

KEEP UP THE PRESSURE!

TURN THE ENEMIES WEAPON AGAINST HIM

Call the “Senate Immigration Reform Hotline” at 1 800 417 7666 Press 1 for your senior senator, 2 for your junior senator.

This will connect you DIRECTLY to your senator without going through the congressional switchboard.

JAM THE LINES. LET THEM HEAR OUR ANGER AND FURY.

How did he get elected? I believe that if you check the telephone books for last names, you will see how this happened. Between that and the democrats living there....
And never forget, this is the place that send Pat Schroeder to congress for many years. Remember the navy guys on the ship with the banner?

Defeat is not an option for the democrats, unless of course we are talking about Iraq.

Defeating this bill permanantly is the only option.

I agree! What does it take? A silver bullet, wooden stake through the heart, WHAT?

I think we need some kind of bill too. But not this one. We need the widsom of Solomon to figure out the kind of bill we need, but need one we do.

Maybe not, Kenny boy, but your political future in Colorado is.

Geez, I hope so. But Colorado has really turned Democrat. In their short tenure they've: drastically reduced legal document requirements for driver's licenses (once among the strictest in the nation); illegally raised property taxes, against the voter approvedTABOR amendment, which requires all tax increases to be voted on by the people; done their very best to shut down the burgeoning natural gas industry by loading them up with ridiculous regulations, and more which I'm too depressed to list.

Our county, which still has a 3 to 1 ratio of Republicans to Democrats, has a Democratic representative.

Sigh.

Absolutely, and the eventual bill that DOES emerge is still going to make alot of people unhappy. It is the root canal we need.

I don't think any comprehensive bill will work. We need to take baby steps. Enforcement first, address business needs second, streamline legal immigration third, etc..

I volunteer teaching ESL to immigrants and most of my students are illegals. They’re wonderful people and I see how hard they work. But I’m very concerned about their shadow culture, both for themselves and are for the rest of us. I’m still not sure how to proceed legalizing folks who came here illegally.

Let’s call them today and pummel them some more. Call it pre-emption.

Salazar:promised the people of Colorado to be a different kind of Democrat politician after he defeated Pete Coors.

Well he certainly is showing that he is a different kind of Democrat.

He not only is a left winger but is trying to destroy our country.

Shame on the people of Colorado for being sucked in to vote for this turkey.

So much multicultural politics, aye there hoser.

He looks like a dung beetle.

I had to go look, and I agree. Except for the beetle part.
