The Bigots Win

Cloture failed overwhelmingly today (46/53). Anti-immigrationists achieved great success in having their voice heard by the media, Congress, and the American public. Sadly, proponents of legalization could not equal them. Thankfully, today's news has a silver lining. Standalone immigration benefits of any kind were stalled for the past two years pending the disposition of the CIR initiative. Now that CIR is not in the cards, standalone benefits are back on the table. Immigration Daily expects a number of immigration benefits provisions to move forward, probably including AgJOBS and DREAM which both received overwhelming support in the Senate earlier this decade (it is likely that a Democratic House will back these two bills). Stay tuned.

We welcome readers to share their opinion and ideas with us by writing to editor@ilw.com.

Thanks to the Immigration Daily editor for telegraphing the OBL's next move. They will look to get piecemeal backdoor amnesty with AgJOBS.

We're just red-necked racists lookin' to lynch the illegals now. That's how they look at us, folks. As a bunch of snaggle-toothed, brute cavemen.

I’m proud to be a bigot.

[Loyal Buckeye]

We did it to save the planet.

Finally a victory for Americans!

No to the DREAM Act, which gives preferential financial aid benefits to law-breakers and their children over U.S. citizens, legal immigrants, and legally present foreign students.

Ideologically, the House isn't much different than it was before the '06 elections. Libs will be (and have been) discovering this the hard way. They expected the moon, but are getting squat.

So I’m a bigot. That doesn’t mean I don’t have a right to representation by MY government.

Now they need to enforce existing law, but doubt they have the nerve to do even that. If they don’t enforce existing law on the illegals, they need to be run out of office.

Hey, Michelle.

The bigots are La Raza and the illegals who have come to this country in large part to kick Americans off what they consider their land.

And you’re a bigot for standing up for bigots.

[Mamzelle]

Now that the "Chamber of Commerce Get Out of Jail Free" card has been ripped--states and municipalities are freer to find their own means of enforcing the law and protecting legal residents and citizens.

OKlahoma--lead the way.

Racist sexist homophobes...

When the only argument your opponent has is to call you names, you know you are right.

"Anti-immigrationists achieved great success in having their voice heard by the media, Congress, and the American public."

That statement is bigoted and it is a lie. So drop dead and otherwise have a nice day.

[Aria]

Noticed that in those 4 lines the word “BENEFITS” was used 3 times which only reiterates the point...No BENEFITS (your money and mine), no illegals.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Don’t forget that a majority of Dhims were against this criminal legislation, too.

We should be using this issue to split the illegal-immigrant special interest groups from that base of Dhims who similarly saw it as an invasion. Split them apart for 08.

Now you are getting a taste of what us Southerners have went through for years...

[Bullish]

How about I share this opinion and idea with the writer of this.

Go F____ yourself and the donkey you rode in on, Senora?
