If the bill passes, it is game, set and match. It matters not what future Senates do. We will have legalized the status of 12 to 20 million people, which will effectively sow the seeds of our own destruction. You can’t unring a bell.
Indeed... this treason has to be stopped here and now.
I agree with your assessment. If this bill passes, voting, from that point, is almost a moot point, something merely to amuse us, but will mean very little.
I was on a conference call yesterday and found out this bill will lessen border security not stregthen it and I find that reprehensible. There is no building a real fence first with the reality fence to accompany so every last inch of the fence can be monitored and the INS can send people immediately to where there is a problem. There is also no check on who leaves the Country even though that was to be put in place in 1996. With this bill law enforcement cannot be notified.
It is a travesty and needs stopped. For those of you on here that got mad when a lot of us thought it was time for Lott to go in total, hope you are happy. We got Frist instead of Lott thanks to a backroom deal orchestrated by Frist fellow Senator from TN at the time who undermined Senator Nickles from OK who should have replaced Lott as the #2 man in the Senate. Don Nickles was someone who had a backbone. Instead we got Frist who was also spineless just like Lott and managed to get him as #2 before leaving the Senate. If Frist told me 2+2 = 4, I would have to use my calculator to verify.
I would bet we would not have lost the Senate with Don Nickles in charge because he was like Jim Inhofe and not afraid to say what was on his mind. Nothing timid about Nickles and he would have taken it to the DemocRATs. We are in this mess because we have had too many Senators try to make nice with the DemocRATs to get something past and in the meantime we lost the Majority because Frist wouldn’t stand up. It started with Clinton, Impeachment, Chinagate, etc. They caved to Clinton every time. Now the spineless Senators are at it again.
This Immigration Bill isn’t just hated by Republicans but by Independents and a lot of Dems so what is the stupid Senate doing even bringing the bill back?
When Clinton was President, Lott went to budget negotiations at the WH without Don Nickles so he could sell out knowing full well Nickles would have come out of a meeting and told the truth. Now Lott is back in power and running this bill for the President — disgusting!
I am with a campaign and one good reason I went there is that there are no Trent Lotts, Bill Frists, Karl Roves, etc. anywhere near the campaign. I learned recently from my sources in the Senate and House that Rove, et al are pushing this bill in the Senate and I want him gone from the political scene and his cronies — he did enough damage in 2006. The way he is going you would think he wants to see Hillary in the WH along with some others. Why? So Jeb can run in 2012? Any major players from any Bush campaign, I want their candidate defeated even if that person was my favorite I would jump ship rather than help put this bunch get near the WH again.
My more than two cents!
I agree with you kabar, but we still have a few chances to kill it.
I think you're absolutely right. All we can do right now is spread the word, call - call - call, AND PRAY!!
