If S. 1348 if revived, please vote NO on cloture.
Surely you won’t impose taxpaying citizens with the extraordinary costs of keeping illegal aliens in the country. It would be far better to use enforcement to cause the illegal workers to return to their home countries over time.
The Census Bureau finds that we have 23 million “less-educated” American adults who do not now have a job. Don’t pass S. 1348 and give away their jobs forever.
A Senator [Feinstein] responded to us with this: “...our borders are broken, our national security is compromised, and there is no feasible way to identify and deal with the 10 to 12 million undocumented people now living in the United States.”
How much simpler would it be then to get congress to agree on the following bills?:
Bill 1: Fund a fence, build a fence. (Think jobs and national security)
Bill 2: Boost border security. (More jobs and national security)
Bills 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...: No feasible way to “deal with 10 to 12 million undocumented people”?
Presumably that means, dealing with enforcement and deportation. If we can’t deal with that, then let’s simply stop dealing with them in these much more costly ways.
Stop dealing them jobs.
Stop dealing them licenses to drive.
Stop dealing them an education.
Stop dealing them medical care.
Stop dealing them places to live.
Stop dealing them banking, loans, and money transfers.
Stop releasing arrested aliens in our borders.
Stop publishing government ballots and assistance in foreign languages.
Stop dealing them amnesty.
Shortly thereafter, there won’t be 10 to 12 million undocumented people here to deal with.
And should any of these bills fail, at least the rest will accomplish something for borders and security, unlike the current bloated bill.
Shamnesty Ping.
Thanks for the info.
Just say NO to Illegal Alien Amnesty!! Keep calling!! It’s NOT OVER!!

We need 7 out of 12 on the fence, and 6 of ‘em are Dems. Looks kind of grim.
So remember:
No one said it was going to be easy!
Step up to the plate!
Think outside the box!
What the mind can conceive, the mind can achieve!
Attitudes are contagious. Is yours worth catching?
Let’s give it the old college try!
When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.
Raise your game.
Hang in there.
Raise the bar.
Hunker down.
Get your ducks in a row.
Swing for the fences.
Be proactive.
Stay focused.
And finally . . .
Take it to the next level.
I thought as few as 12 “intestine-endowed” Senators could filibuster this through the July 4th holiday if they really “went to the mattresses.” As long as they play this “gentleman’s game” instead of taking out the baseball bats, this will pass.
If there are Senators who would do that, really filibuster so the clowns have to stay there with quorum calls, they’ll attract a crowd in the Senate gallery like you saw in “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” And, I will fly to D.C. to see it and talk radio will cover every second. The folks who do it will be heroes to the US public.

Senators,
With Mr. Byrd directing this (he knows every Senate rule ever contemplated), you could filibuster this dog into oblivion and the Honorable Senator from West Virginia, in deference to his age, would not have to be even near the Senate floor.
Looks bleak. How does the House look?
This list is very helpful! Thank you! I will continue to work on Boxer!
BTTT
I wouldn’t count on the sick guy. If the Dems need him to vote, he will vote. Prayer for his healing.
Thanks for the update!
Alexander and Corker are up to something...
TN residents have been strong armed and told to shut up by their minions...
And then theres that AMNESTY 3 that they want to introduce...
They are not for REAL immigrants
For 5 weeks they have not answered Emails or questions about the HEALTH SCREENING for 25,000,000 illegal aliens...
And they want to do away with the term “alien”
bump.
If this POS passes I will never give them a single dime, ever. and I will work against everyone up next year. They can take their 14% approval and stuff it. I’m not afraid of them.

I see no reason why we shouldn’t start pounding this new guy now, so he knows right up front what the public thinks of amnesty. I’ve faxed all of Thomas’ offices. I assume the messages will reach the new senator.

Huh? When did this happen? As of this morning, my understanding was that Lamar Alexander was going to vote no on the bill but YES on cloture.
Okay. I checked Google News and read that TODAY, Alexander switched from YES to NO on cloture. And this was due to his constituents contacting him. Good work Volunteers!!!
