I hate to say this, but I think these bums are going to be successful this time in ramming this karp down our throats, or if not this time, then next time or the time after. They are going to wait until their opponents all tired out, then push it through.

They could always do like the PA legislature — pass tax increases for us and pay raises for themselves in the middle of the night when no one (i.e., the media) is around.

I’m just pizzed — at the whole lot of them...from the President on down, Republcan and Democrat. Even more pizzed at the spineless Republican presidential hopefuls, none of which will take a firm stand on this issue. What is do dammmmm hard about seizing and deporting the illegasl and securing our borders?

The immigration issue isnt about race. Its about an alien invasion across open borders.

Perhaps Feinstein and others are getting some racist letters. Perhaps she is getting a lot of racist letters. She should remember this, RACISTS VOTE TOO ,and enough of them combined with patriots who just want the borders closed and America protected from this invasion might just put your Hoyty Toyty little California butt out of a job.

Hello Tony Snow, yes or no, is there any truth to the following....

1. Awards Amnesty — Offers amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.

2. A Favor to Mexico’s Government — Amnesty deal follows the U.S.-Mexico Social Security Totalization Agreement.

3. Cuts Border Security in Half — Last Congress, we promised the American people 700 miles of fence and today only two miles of that fence have been constructed. What’s even more troubling is that this new amnesty sellout is going to cut that border security promise in half to less than 400 miles of fence.

4. That’s Trillion with a “T” — Heritage Foundation President Robert Rector estimates the total cost of the bill to be in the trillions of dollars.

5. No Assimilation Required — There is no requirement that illegal immigrants know a word of English to get amnesty.

6. Fails to Address Anchor Babies — For a so-called ‘comprehensive’ fix, this legislation fails to address the major problem of illegal immigrants crossing our borders to have children that become automatic U.S. citizens.

7. Amnesty for Absconders and Gang Members — Bill gives amnesty to dangerous criminals and repeat offenders

8. Invites Fraud — Z Visas Invite Document Fraud and Create a False Sense of Security

9. Reduces Job Opportunities for Working Class Americans

10. The LARGEST Single Increase in the Government Welfare State in American History — Illegal immigrants will get Social Security numbers, which will in turn permit them to use entitlement programs available to law-abiding Americans.

Senator Reid was on the floor of the Senate yesterday and said Bush needs to do more to push this bill to help, “UNDOCUMENTED AMERICANS”!!!!!!

Reid needs to be arrested and thrown in prison for treason and not upholding the US Constitution which he SWORE to do in his oath of office.

Some anti-illegals are undoubtedly racist. But I am not. My opposition is based on multiple factors, and the race of the interlopers is not on the list. I'll wager that 90% plus of the antis are not racist or nativist or anti-immigration (of the legal kind) but are anti-illegals for the same reasons that I am.

The pathetic fact is that there are freepers who use the 'racist-xenophobe' card on this forum.

Dianne Feinstein and some others are claiming that they have never received so much racist communication in all their years in Congress.

Just like dems used to call Rush and say, "I'm a lifelong Republican, BUT..." and they'd fill in the blank with some anti-conservative garbage, they're most likely writing the letters themselves.

RUSH: No -- look. I understand the point you're trying to make, but that's the exact opposite thing that would happen. The whole point of throwing the label (racist) out is to discredit you and everybody else. The last thing you want to do is accept the label.

Hmmmm, if we call each other that word - it takes power away from liberals using it against us. Kind of like the tactics blacks used against the "N" word.

If in a joking "in" way, we refer to ourselves as "racists", liberals can't use that hate word to hurt us... Think about it, Rush.

It’s time to ADVOCATE what we want.

A Real Immigration Reform Plan

The FEDS-AB Act of 2007

F – Fence
E – Enforce Current Laws
D – Deport Illegals
S – Secure ID and Sanction Violators
AB – Repeal the “Anchor Baby” provisions of the current law.

1. Secure the Borders (Fence)
a. Install 750 miles of fence within 180 days. Priority funding.
b. Hire, train, and deploy 5,000 new border agents ASAP, with extreme urgency. Priority funding.
c. Use military surveillance hardware/personnel to monitor fenced areas and unfenced gaps. Priority funding.

2. Deport Illegal Aliens (Enforce and Deport)
a. Priority 1 - Any illegal alien who has committed a non-violent crime and is currently incarcerated is to be immediately deported and permanently banned from entry into the US.
b. Priority 2 – Any illegal alien who is arrested/detained/discovered during the course of normal police activities is to be finger-printed, deported and permanently banned from entry into the US.
c. Priority 3 – Any illegal alien who is discovered through active ICE investigation processes is to be finger-printed, deported and permanently banned from entry into the US.

Note – This is not a “hunt them all down” initiative. This means that we enforce the existing laws and deport illegals when they are found.

3. Positive Identification/Punish Employers of Illegal Aliens (Secure and Sanction)
a. Institute a National Visa Database (NVD). Data entered by ICE, accessed via web by all potential employers.
b. Require all persons entering the US for the purpose of working to submit to fingerprinting and photograph. This person is issued a uniquely numbered ID card issued from the NVD with photograph.
c. Require ALL employers to provide proof of legal status for all employees. $100,000 fine per illegal alien employed.

4. End the “Anchor Baby” Law (AB)
a. Repeal the law extending citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil.
b. Grant citizenship only to those born to American citizens and to those who have
i. Applied for U.S. citizenship AND
ii. been in the U.S. more than 1 year

We all also need to seriously plan the next moves just in case this legislation is passed by both Houses of Congress and then signed into “law” by President Bush! What should everyone seriously do next if “Shamnesty” does becomes “law” throughout the U.S.?

If wanting secure borders is racist, then the Senate should look in the mirror.
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode08/usc_sup_01_8.html
Why did they pass the last set of immigration laws? To get amnesty.
At least they were honest about what they wanted the last go-around.

Well, I’ve tried repeatedly over the past hour or so to call the WH line; it’s always busy. And since this is my cell phone, I’m calling it quits.

I hope it’s being busy means many more like me are calling to give our 2¢ worth.

CALLER: I just wanted to say that we should inform Mrs. Feinstein that our current policy, our current immigration policy is already racist. It's very much in favor of our neighbors to the south border.

Yes. This is something I've thought for a while. The racism is on the side of the amnesty pushers. There are a lot of people from all over the world who are losing out to illegal border crossers, who tend to be Mexicans or Central Americans. This is unjust.

If you want to talk about poverty, there are certainly poorer people in China, India, even the Philippines (and Filipinos, being from a former U.S. territory, ought to get special consideration, IMO).

Any plan which legalizes existing illegal aliens is discriminatory against all these people who would like to come to the U.S., but live farther away.

As I was reading the comments it occured to me that at least “nutcases”, regardless of how one defines them, have a right as American citizens to voice their opinions.

What is happening with President Bush now is that he is allowing citizens from a foreign country have more power to influence national policy than actual American citizens. Even though the illegal aliens show their contempt for our laws and our national sovereignty, what is in their best interests is of priority for Bush. We can be disregarded as “nutcases”.

The word racist is so overused, it has lost it sting.
