There was speculation that Smith might support this bill. But Smith got religion after hearing from thousands of his constituents. Smith calls this bill 'back-door amnesty.'

Don’t care how long it took for him to find the old time religion. As long as they get the message. And it’s an added plus when they come out and slam it as amnesty of any kind.

That’s progress baby.

No doubt, Trent Lott is grinding his teeth, cursing talk radio and conservative web sites.

I’ve heard Sen Mitch McConnel from Kentucky refered to as the GOP leader in the Senate but if he’s leading I don’t know who’s following. Seems the only folks who want this bill are Bush, McConnel, Lott and Graham.

Well that's nice of him. Maybe it will bring him down on this liberal-controlled poll now. They love him there.

'back-door amnesty.'

If by back-door he means the door that faces the street and has lights by it and a nice paved walkway leading to it from the drvieway.

But anyway: Here's what is stupid. If they are going to do amnesty, I would prefer that they just do it. Why hire all the new bureaucrats? Why make people travel home and pay 5K? You're just harassing them, or taxing them, really. It serves no purpose. Why harass people you are going to make citizens?

Now, the answer, that I have speculated on, is that this is all designed to be amnesty for mexicans only. But, they can't say that, so they create a bureaucratic mess that Mexicans can get through (due to proximity) much easier than anyone else.

Can those better versed on labeling posts take care of this one? I was trying to get it under immigration, aliens, etc.

Thank you.

Don’t forget Sen. McCain has finally run a stake through the heart of his presidential run by supporting this bill.

Gordon Smith is a no good sniveling liberal but one more the righteous indignation of the voters has proven:

"When they feel the heat they will see the light"

When the RATS get through with this, the Congressional approval rating may slide into the single digit range.

Grind a little more.

Add Lamar Alexander to the list of ‘NO’ votes on cloture.

McCalien lover has now begun to understand the magnitude of his error. He’s talking about the challenges his candidacy faces, blah, blah, blah.

He’ll be deader than dead by Labor Day if not sooner. And I’m going to love every second of it. Sorry for him because he’s served the nation and sacrificed greatly, but he’s grown arrogant and out of touch.

He should resign and retire. Go play with some of friends along the border.

I presume that Smith heard from the moonbat belt (Interstate 5) as well. The libs hate this bill as much as the conservatives, for all the wrong reasons, of course.

Otherwise known as BOHICA amnesty.
