PHONE-CALL MUTINY; HOW CITIZENS FELLED THE BORDER BILL (gov't OF, BY and FOR the people prevailed)
NY POST ^ | June 30, 2007 | RICH LOWERY

Posted on 06/30/2007 5:23:48 AM PDT by Liz

BEWARE of an aroused citizenry. It's an admonition that should be ingrained in the brain of any run-of-the-mill politician, let alone someone who has ascended to the United States Senate. But from the Olympian heights of the world's greatest deliberative body, it is often forgotten. So senators got a reminder in the humiliating defeat of a "comprehensive" immigration bill that had the support of the president of the United States, a bipartisan group of senators with the blessing of the leaders of their caucuses and the support of the editorial boards of the country's most important newspapers.

There are two existing bills in the house to take care of the problem.

H. R. 133

To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to deny citizenship at birth to children born in the United States of parents who are not citizens or permanent resident aliens.

H.R.1940
Title: To amend section 301 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify those classes of individuals born in the United States who are nationals and citizens of the United States at birth.

Keep up the pressure!!

Americans won by putting a stop to making this entire fiasco exponentially worse than it already is.

RINO traitors need to be booted and replaced by loyal patriotic Americans who WILL insist that 1) immigration laws, currently on the books, become enforced; 2) the fence be built, as already promised; 3) create laws which will prohibit illegals from receiving ANY KIND of American tax payer dollars....via education, elementary and secondary, health care, welfare, and housing.

And .. I never understood why people would assume these “invaders” and “criminals” would pursue a LAW-ABIDING character after they became citizens.

If they’re already breaking the laws of our country .. they have no intention of becoming law-abiding.

Brain surgery is generally reserved for those with a brain.........

Sorry, I just felt like gloating a little bit. :-)

No doubt they were colluding with their corrupt foreign governments, to takeover the US, to change the laws to suit themselves......

...........and our weak-kneed Congress was going along with it-------- like a bunch of patsies.
