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.

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.
I just made my phone calls today regarding this to my traitorous senators, has everyone else?
They need to start hearing from us again.
In your dreams, baby!
Military on the boarder to protect our homeland; before PC they would have done this..
Good grief. Will somebody please put these bastards out of their misery?
That’s the kind of talk I like to hear! Yes, sir!
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...

Because our “civil servants” will try to win by stealth/lies what

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.
Do bad ideas in politics EVER die?
Will you put me on this ping list, please? Thank you!
