"Let me taste your tears, mmmm your tears are so yummy and sweet. Oh the tears of unfathomable sadness. Yummy!"

The Senate majority that voted yesterday to crush what is almost certainly the last opportunity to fix America's broken immigration system for at least two years was responding to constituents with unreasonable expectations. Flogged into a fury by talk-show agitators and Internet provocateurs, thousands of people called, wrote and e-mailed their senators to protest legislation they believed would do nothing to stop the flow of illegal entry into this country, would forgive millions of illegals already here and would burden taxpayers with the cost to schools and health care.
No one is going to round up 12 million people here illegally, kick them out of the country and lock the door behind them, as some critics of the reform measure propose. Even if there were a will to do it, there's no practical way.
Impoverished people will continue to find a way into the United States for the economic opportunities. Changes in the law intended to make it more difficult for workers to be hired using phony papers will die along with the rest of the bill. And while the 12 million undocumented foreigners living in the shadows won't get the purported amnesty that offended so many Americans, they will continue to be part of American communities, contributing to and drawing from their resources, in a limbo status dubbed "silent amnesty" by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Unlike the House of Representatives, the Senate was designed to be more resistant to demagogic passions. But angry voters didn't appreciate the value of that procedural courtesy and deluged the senators with such a protest that only 46 senators voted yesterday in favor of another procedural question that would have positioned the bill for a final vote today. Sixty votes were needed.
Doing nothing, though, is not a fix.

"...responding to constituents with unreasonable expectations."
You brain-dead robot bigots take your marching orders from talk radio hosts and internet (instead of the enlightened Baltimore Sun Editor, that would be fine!)
You got to admit that their whining is sweet music.
Every stupid lib editorial should by the fairness doctrine include in a sub-title the words “In our opinion”, because they are too casual with their language. Libs as far as I know are not the burning bush on Mt. Sinai or the gods from Olympus just mopes with a degree in liberal theology.
"Washington agitated by republican form of government. Vows revenge."
I’m so tired of this ‘in the shadows’ crp. I’m sure it’s bright and well lit down at the local ICE office.
"Let me taste your tears, mmmm your tears are so yummy and sweet. Oh the tears of unfathomable sadness. Yummy!"
Yep.
Fat Ted’s thoughts: Why doesn’t this government of the people, by the people and for the people just hurry up and perish from the earth.
“Doing nothing, though, is not a fix.”
This guy has refried beans for brains.... as if AMNESTY is a”fix”
What a schmuck.
Indeed! The sweetest came from the "beltway boys" on Brit's show last night. Neither the beetle nor morTON could understand what happened.
Here's what happened boys: America said NO!
Yesterday, one of the guys on FNC’s The Beltway boys program skirted around the idea that those who protested the Shamnesty bill are racists and dumb
IMO the recent efforts of ICE in rounding up illegals ate their place of employment was a ruse to make the American People actually believe something was being done about illegals.
I will make a cyber bet that we will see few of these round-ups in the future. The round-ups are over because they were phony to begin with.
They made for good sob stories and enticements for the Amnsty bill ,now that its over the raids will stop.
I swear all these hand wringing, whimpering liberals need a good old fashioned southern asswhipping.
Islam = the “religion” of perpetual outrage
Dhimmicrats = the party of perpetual outrage and endless whimpering
Here illegally? Vuelva a México - rápidamente amigo.
OK—info, please.
Who’s the beetle? Kondracke supported the bill?
“Flogged into a fury by talk-show agitators and Internet provocateurs,”
Let’s see now, a gracious response to whining lefty histrionics . . .
Apple-core, Baltimore . . . we kicked your butts so hard you’re going to be farting through your shirt-collars all summer!
We need to pound the employers who hire the wetbacks as much as the wetbacks themselves. They are an integral part of the problem
Baltimore the dirtest city I ever worked in.
I sought out the “internet provocateurs” (that means you my FRiends) because I was opposed to amnesty, not the reverse. I don’t have time to listen to talk radio.
Now we need to make sure that the next congressional elections are a bloodbath and the RINOs and Dems that supported this bill are kicked out on their cans so that enforcement is the only “solution” discussed.
I know this is off subject, but that clip is from one of my favorite SouthPark episodes.
