If you like bi-partisan compromise and progress in the form of more legislation, youre going to love this
Since pretty much every member of congress seems convinced that simple enforcement of the existing immigration laws (that they passed) wont work, and that rights for illegal aliens is a higher priority than the rights of legal law abiding Americans, some form of amnesty is bound to pass sooner or later.
Despite Washingtons marathon effort to screw the American citizen, the Wall Street Journal reports, By a vote of 33-63, the Senate fell far short of the 60 votes that would have been needed to limit debate on the immigration measure and put it on a path to passage. Republicans -- even those who helped craft the measure and are expected to support it -- banded together to oppose that move, while a majority of Democrats backed it.
But they will be back, we know this So we need to cut a deal while we still can.
I propose a single simple amendment to the amnesty bill that might make amnesty acceptable for most Americans, members of congress not included most likely.

It turned out as I expected. The liberals have attempted to do the things they have always watted all at once, and infuriated the public. I much prefer that to them getting everything they want gradually.
IMO there is ttle chance of them getting the things they aimed for, and every chance for an end to the proposed NAU. They will prevent federal level immigration enforcement to a degree, but will fail to stop state and local enforcement. had they not tried this - but instead tried to hault state and local enforcement piecemeal they would have succeded.
Exactly...
He could have written... a when hell freezes over clause I guess...LOL
Yeah I guess, lol. And that will be the day it will pass, not one day before.
I like the wording of this: “Politicians want to fine corporations for giving illegal aliens honest work. But they dont want to fine themselves for inducing new potential voters across the border with free gifts from the tax-payers treasury. How insane!”
Just say NO to Amnesty!! Keep calling!! Its NOT OVER!!

“NO immigrant who arrived or arrives here illegally and received or receives any form of amnesty can EVER attain voting rights or social economic assistance of any kind, including free medical care.They will have all other civil protections once approved for citizenship. But they will NEVER vote”
This is a right under the COTUS and to give American citizenship to the illegal aliens but deny them the right to vote is asking for a class action suit...
Once a case got to court..the illegal aliens would pick up whatever was missing in the package deal and walk out with more rights than you...the one who would pay the legal fees..
Nice try though...
Remember how AIDS was the first politically correct and protected disease?
The illegal aliens are your first totally protected class of people...
You're right on the money with that comment Nana. I think GW has adopted Hispanic illegals as his social studies class project. I just wish he was as determined to accomplish a few other things I would like to see done before he leaves office as he is to force amnesty for alien criminals on the US people.
Most of us English speaking Americans are reasonably compassionate folks who don't hate honest, law abiding Hispanics, but only want our country to remain the United States of America and not have it forcibly transformed into the Unido Estados de Norteno Mexico. I have a notion that God put the river the Conquistadors called "El Río en Negrilla del Norte" (Rio Grand) exactly where it is for a specific purpose, to divide the US from it's perpetually turbulent, ungovernable neighbors to the south.
