“Precise details to be presented to Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., were not disclosed.”

The “details” are obvious. Republicans can present 10 amendments that Kennedy knows will be voted down. Dummies can present 10 amendments, pre-approved by Kennedy, that will all get majority approval.

Then, both sides will agree that the process was fair and the bill should get an up or down vote.

Sure looks fair to Kennedy!

One glaring problem with this promise - according to that pesky Constitution, all spending bills must originate in the House of Representatives, not the Senate. So any amendment that promises to spend more money than is already appropriated is meaningless unless the House includes the same language in their bill. If the House passes a bill without the extra spending, they can’t just insert the Senate language into the conference report. So we never get the additional spending, but the amnesty gets passed anyway. No thanks!

Here is what is going to happen with the latest iteration of Fool the Yahoos. Republicans will provide enough flipped votes to prevent filibuster. Then when the bill comes up for final passage, 9 or 10 of these guys will be allowed to vote against the bill. It will pass and they will be able to tell their constituents they voted against it, figuring they are too dumb to realize that the cloture vote was the one that counts.

This “110th Congress” will go down in the history books as the Congress that destroyed the greatest country on earth through their greed for cheap labor and cheap votes in return for uncontrolled illegal immigration.

“Under the legislation as drafted, money for border enforcement would be collected gradually as illegal immigrants pay the fines and fees needed to achieve legal status.”

Mr. President, how stupid do you think I am? The illegals wouldn’t go back home if we paid them $5,000, let alone them paying us $5,000. You know it, and I know you know it. You simply are trying to pull the wool over our eyes.

Here is a suggestion, SECURE THE BORDERS! Then we can talk about hiring immigrants to do the jobs Americans will not do.

Then I shall revive my outrage. If they think I am going away after the initial victory they are crazy.
I hope everyone here is on board for the long fight.
My phone and email will once again be busy....here we go!

But Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., an opponent of the legislation, took a different view. "I appreciate the effort to fund border security, but there's simply no reason why we should be forced to tie amnesty to it. If the administration was serious about fulfilling the border security promises, then this funding should have been supported all along, not offered at the last minute to attract votes to a bad bill."

Thank you, Sen. DeMint, for declaring what thinking citizens everywhere know.

The elitists in Washington believe we're going to swallow this last-ditch attempt to force shamnesty down our throats. They really have contempt for us.

Six years Bush ignored enforcement and six days lately the agents have been allowed to round up a few hundred illegals?

Now he wants to toss the rulebook?

If only the immigration laws had been consistently enforced for the past six years ,the numbers of illegals would be much smaller AND I might actually believe Bush .

He has shown himself arrogant and paternalistic,plus obviously feels not bound by his oath to "preserve,protect,and defend".

Perhaps it is not only the Republicans that should be calling for impeachment ?

>> Precise details to be presented to Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., were not disclosed.

No aspect of this issue should be discussed behind closed doors. Any part, motivation, or deal that cannot be vetted in open view is suspect and reinforces the conviction of the bill’s opposition; this unseemly immigration initiative is being executed despite the interests of the U.S. citizen.

We the people of the United States appeal to God and the souls of our Founding Fathers for divine intervention to mend the processes that are degrading our liberties and representation.

"We're going to show the American people that the promises in this bill will be kept," Bush said

You mean, just like all the ones that were kept the last time amnesty was given? Just like how all the current immigration laws are enforced?
