We’ve all been chumped or about to and we all know it.
Until they demonstrate this, nobody is going to buy their promises.
That is it! The fence is a start, but without the personnel and the ROE to monitor our borders as well, the job isn’t done. We need the total package and NOW before anything else.
All they said was they wanted to "...alleviate many of the fears of our constituents by calling for an emergency supplemental bill to fully fund the border and interior security initiatives contained in legislation currently pending in the Senate, as well as any outstanding existing authorizations."
In other words, they still believe in this legislation. This is email equivalent of Saxby and Johnny urinating on your leg and trying to tell you that it is raining.
Burn up those phone lines, people!!!
Notice that they aren't talking about funding existing border security...only about funding the comprehensive immigration bill's security initiatives in advance to make us think they will actually do what they say.
I don't buy it. Supplemental funding to rapidly increase enforcement of existing law would be fine, but this looks like bait to get us to swallow the big hook.
LOCK THE DOOR. BUILD THE FENCE.
We should start calling our congressmen at this point. The senate will pass this turkey so our only chance is to jump heavy on our congressmen. We’re going to have to kill it in the house.
We could kill it in the House, but we have more clout in the Senate, if we stick together. I’d say it’s best to focus on the Senate right up until the last minute. There will be time to attack it in the House. Besides, the tougher it is to pass this in the Senate, the tougher it will be in the House.
Oh I don’t want to give up in the senate . It just seems to me that the senate is gearing up to put lipstick on this pig ,declare that they have fixed all it’s ills,proclaim it a victory for all mankind ,pass it, and start patting themselves on the back for the great job they did for us.
It's the same reason the Arizona Senators are sticking it to us. They're clamping down in that state also and cheap labor businesses don't like it.
How nice it is that they have paid lobbyists like Kyl and McCain working for them in the Senate.
Maybe, but let’s make it hard for the ba$tards. Glad you’re not giving up on the Senate!
Just say NO to Amnesty!! Keep calling!! It’s NOT OVER!!

I would add no more anchor babies. There is no reason why we can’t get rid of a major incentive to break our laws which doesn’t decrease when there aren’t any jobs. It’s a cost-free policy with nothing to debate (although I’m sure the liberals will try to come up with something based on xenophobia).
