As Mark Twain might say, reports of the Immigration Bill's death have been highly exaggerated.
The bill might have been killed for the second time, but today's Wall Street Journal reports that at least three key parts of it may still have life (one of which, the Dream Act, I've previously written about). Yes, it's like Freddy Kruger. The bill never completely dies. These, too, must be killed:
It ain't over 'til it's over.
Of course you are correct and I agree wholeheartedly. A very small price to pay to fight the fight.
The promise of big money, power and the force of the fact that the outcome is inevitable, drives the sell out machine. They would rather sell out for promises of a futur place in the scheme of things than fight it.
You are right. They are going to end up irrelevant.

Most sorry for the double post. It was the fault of that “other guy”. Just joking!
I hope I’m still standing when that day comes.
The bill that wouldn't die.
not to worry....the double post was probably Borax Queen’s fault anyway. : )
"Trust me. My #1 priority is blanket Amnesty for any and all invading terrorists and felons,
and I've even got something new for Congress."
I sincerely doubt it, but if it takes ME off the hook. Okay we can blame her!
LOL!
“We will be back,” said Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, the bill’s lead Democratic architect. “This issue is not going away. And we will ultimately be successful.”
We’ve won a battle...we haven’t begun to win the war. In fact, we are at ‘status quo’. In addition to the things mentioned by the writer...our BORDERS ARE NOT SECURED, OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS ARE NOT ENFORCED and there are STILL @ 30,000,000 ILLEGAL ALIENS IN OUR COUNTRY and COUNTING! ...doing all the same ILLEGAL things they were doing the DAY BEFORE THE SENATE VOTE!! And, that doesn’t even include the Trilateral Agreement with Mexico, one that will destroy our Social Security, nor does it include the progress continuing to be made for the creation of a North American Union!
I just got off the phone with Sheriff Jones of Butler County Ohio...he too warns...this is NOT over. They will try to sneak these things any way they can...we MUST be vigilant! And we must DEMAND our borders be effectively secured NOW, not in 20 or 40 years at the rate Chertoff is going!!

When all the IT workers laid off since 2002 are re-hired, we can talk about increasing H1-B visas then.
What a POS. Skeletor, as some FReeper who I cannot remember, so I can applaud their apt description, is not looking out for Homeland Security.
What an evil force.
what amazes me is that we can send all our jobs overseas. so bush said he wants to educate our kids to prepare them for technology jobs that are left but have you seen any signs of that? there are gazillions of dollars of financial aid.....yet i have met almost no one who receives it—except 8+ percent loans or higher. and so now these yokels want to give the rest of our kids’ futures away to illegals and fill colleges with them instead of our children?
and how long do they think these newly legal immigrants will wait before demanding higher wages and benefits.
have these people gone insane? truly we have to do something as citizens to impress upon these idiots who act like feudal barons that we are sick and tired of this codependent behavior and throwing our money away.
I always try to! Usually works, too. : )
“Gee, anybody notice that the Border Security provisions (such as they were) ain’t one of the fragments rising from the dead?”
Of course not...wish I could find a transcript of that award winning performance Thursday between Kennedy and Feinstein...I believe it was the two of them that when into a dramatic dialog on the Senate Floor about how if the bill didn’t pass, there were be NO FUNDS for border security, the fence, additional BP, and the beds needed for detaining.
“Fortunately, we’ve got the 4th of July break to reload.”
Wish I did....my LFRA Rally is tomorrow!! How crazy is that...I’m not cancelling now....I just hope people actually realize that this is NOT over!
Y’all.......WHO is really surprised?
Come on....which of you?
not really surprise...but it’s still unbelievable!
