The GOP should have evicted him, instead the wussies have him lead them to their death.

President Bush visited with Senate Republicans behind closed doors yesterday, promising that he will follow through on border security, pleading with them to give his immigration plans a second look and trying to overcome hard feelings that arose from his recent charge that opponents are guilty of trying to "frighten people.". . .
One key question is how to go forward even though several amendments have already cut at the grand bargain -- including limiting the guest-worker program and making it easier to deport those who don't qualify for legalization -- and several other difficult amendments could pass before the bill is final.
Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott, Mississippi Republican, said those amendments will simply disappear when the House and Senate go to conference.
"No big deal -- you pitch those before you get to the Rotunda," he said.
But that is just what those who oppose the bill fear.
"I'm really disturbed Trent Lott would say: accept an amendment, he'll pitch it in conference," Mr. Sessions said. "Whose side is he on?"

Did you link the wrong article? I don’t see that at the source.
"always vigorously enforced the law"
Now they are more bolden claiming that they never intend to enforce the laws that they make and swear to uphold anyway, all they wish to do is to declare millions of illegals, murders, felons, rapists, forgers, violent criminals, gang bangers, drug runners, etc. LEGAL AMERICANS so they can continue to "do the jobs that ordinary Americans refuse to do....and, oh, yes,.... support their families."
Get that guy out of there!!!!

Trent V.* Lott, the weak-kneed belly crawler’s malevolence toward the citizens of this country, knows no bounds.
The man is scum.

If this bill ever makes it to conference the open borders crowd will get everything they want while Americans get the shaft. “Willing worker, willing employer” means massive displacement in every sector of the economy.
I remember Lott during the impeachment cop-out. He talked a great game in the locker room, but folded like a little girl when it came time to take the field.
Lott is a survivor, not a leader.
Lott is a posterboy for why male college cheerleaders should be constitutionally barred from holding public office.
And yes, I know who else was a male college cheerleader.
Remember how he sold us out on the chemical weapons treaty?
Disgusting.

Lott did a service here even if he’s to stupid to know it. He’s now let the cat out of the bag on the deal to get an amendment on a package of provisions by those opposed to the deal is nothing more than smoke and mirrors designed to get the bill voted into law and have any enforcement and penalties stripped out to get as near to the original bill as posssible. This is bound to piss off some people enough that bringing this sheer idiocy won’t be able to be brought back up again. At least I hope and pray that’s the case.
See my tag lins and know that it applies to both the Senate and the House.
You’re right, but that assumes the word gets out to the grassroots that the game plan is to get everything all nice and liberal in conference committee. Unfortunately, Lott’s remarks were buried at the end. If I hadn’t been waiting for someone this morning and read the entire article to kill time I would have missed Lott’s “don’t worry, we’re gonna kill all these stupid enforcement amendments” quote. I wonder how many other people will see his remarks and realize what they mean — all the talk show folks ought to publicize that Lott is publicly, openly saying he’s going to strip any enforcement measure from the bill.
You cleaned it up! What Lott really said was just a little earthier!
