Democrats pitch citizenship for some illegals
The Washington Times ^ | July 26, 2007 | S.A. Miller and Stephen Dinan

Senate Democrats yesterday defeated a Republican effort

The piecemeal approach is favored by some members of both parties, including several of those who fought hardest for the earlier bill, including Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican. The two top Democratic 2008 presidential candidates, Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois, told the National Council of La Raza earlier that they would be "open" to voting for piecemeal legislation....

Democrats tried to get an agreement yesterday to pass an agriculture worker bill that would create a program for future agriculture workers and offer a path to citizenship to hundreds of thousands of illegal alien agriculture workers already here. Republicans objected to giving illegal aliens a path to citizenship, a proposal that doomed the Bush legislation.

Last week, Sen. Richard J. Durbin, Illinois Democrat, tried to attach to the defense bill the Dream Act...

The same process is playing out in the House, where Democratic leaders signaled earlier they were open to a piece-by-piece approach. The Bush administration is reluctant to do that, arguing that all of the pieces have to be done together. Mr. Bush says that a guest-worker program for future workers is needed to take pressure off the border and rejects trying to deport those who entered the country illegally.

He has vowed to veto the $37.6 billion homeland security spending bill for exceeding his own spending request by $2.3 billion...

The only illegals who should get citizenship are the ones that cross the border and go to a military recruiting office to earn their citizenship the hard way.

Deport the rest.

Bastards. They're trying to sneak individual shamnesty measures through under the radar. Bottom line: these folks never give up til they get what they want. The American people be damned.

“Mr. Bush says that a guest-worker program for future workers is needed to take pressure off the border and rejects trying to deport those who entered the country illegally.”

First part is a lie second part is impeachable.

Want to take pressure off of the border Mr Bush?

Shoot all intruders ON SIGHT!

The problem will be taken care of.

Serious problems require serious enforcement.

The rest of the wanna be intruders can apply for entrance just like everyone else and wait their turn.

And exactly where is that old boy who was giving people hell here a few weeks ago for keeping on bringiing up the amnesty business after the vote? Saying we should move on? Hmmm?

Dutifully tied to...
KEYWORDS: STEALTHAMNESTY,VAMPIREBILL

Because our “civil servants” will try to win by stealth/lies what
they couldn’t win with the “vampirebill”.

And myself, I think the “vampirebill” ain’t dead yet.
IIRC, there was a threat recently in which Demo. Rahm Immanuel (sp?)
said that it won’t come up again until the SECOND term of a Democratic President.

So The “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” bill ain’t dead.
It’s resting until the acceptable time for it to arise from amidst
the undead.
