All they have to do to solve this "difficult problem" is enforce the law. You can't round up 12 million people and escort them all to the border, but you can use the law to punish employers who hire them.
Of course that won't be done until we get some new people in office, at the federal, state, and local levels. It would certainly help to have a strong president who told the truth about this sorry situation.
I think an “imperfect but pragmatic solution” to dealing with the senators that supported this turkey is to kick them all out of their cushy jobs the next time we have a chance to do so.
If that means supporting the contender of the opposite party, that would give us a 90+% Pub Senate. Suh-weet.
In reality, the status quo came about through years of neglect and outright failure to enforce the provisions of the agreement made in the 1986 amnesty bill. Therefore, they have ZERO credibility in demanding that REAL Americans first grant amnesty to unknown millions of FAKE Americans in return for more promises of enforcement.
“These people came in the wrong way, so they don’t belong here, period,” Mrs. Thibodeaux, a Republican, said of some 12 million illegal immigrants.
Yes we agree entirely.
And let it be known.
Dont go inactive TURN THE NOISE UP!
Keep calling and writing demanding enforcement of our laws and border security NOW!
Rush was all over this one.
This turkey is not flamming yet, there is a smell to this one a real stench that the DC elites really WANT this bill to pass the Senate.
They ignored us during the entire process, why would anyone think they wouldn’t ignore us down the road when we aren’t watching?
“Do not trust these Greeks and that Horse”

Quote from Border Patrol Agents Union Thursday
“Every day that President Bush and the Senate hold real border security hostage to their misguided amnesty program, thousands upon thousands of illegal aliens continue to flood into the country”, it said. “We are losing this war and it’s not even close”
Of course, if they were encouraged by liberal newspapers it would be a triumph for free speech, the exchange of ideas and democracies.
Since the dinosaurs are once again late to the party, there is something sinister and eeeeeeeevil about people communicating over their government's actions.
No, but you can escort them all to secure facilities in the high desert and THEN deport them in convenient groups at leisure.
Yes, of course the employers should be punished - my favorite punishment would be revoking THEIR citizenship - but that's no reason to leave the crimaliens at liberty.
If we could put all the Japs in California, Oregon, and Washington State in camps we can certainly do so with noncitizen lawbreakers.
Exactly! We've got all the "comprehensive" B.S. we need now.
BUILD THE DAM FENCE ALREADY.
Also, "Christopher Sabatini, senior director of policy at the Americas Society/Council of the Americas, which follows Hispanic immigration, described the bill as “born an orphan in terms of popular support.”
It is an orphan because, in a country based on the rule of law, where we are taught about the rule of law rather than the rule of men from a very early age, it is difficult to whip up popular support for a measure that defies the idea of the rule of law. We all have that imprinted on our brains. The people who "negotiated" that bill vastly underestimated the intelligence of the American public, and I think they will live to rue the day. They thought if they said, "Black is white, and this isn't amnesty," often enough, people would believe it. The only people who believed it are a wide swathe of the media, and they are irked that we didn't follow their lead blindly.
Reid will only bring this thing up again if he thinks he can use it to help the RATS win the White House next year.
