This should be draped around the Dhimmicrat’s neck for the 2008 elections, they are pushing Shamnesty constantly, this is their 3rd attempt to force We the People to accept their nonsense.

What a noisy little person. I’m beginning to think we shouldn’t let any more of her kind into the country. Maybe we can tighten up the standards a tad ~

I think that is just what took place!

“...respects the rule of law.”

She says it, but I don’t believe she understands what that entails.

What a two faced double talking wretch this lady is.

Thank GAWD for those members in the Senate who had the courage and common sense to kill this turkey of a bill have prevailed.

Thank you Senators. Thank you very much. I know who to support now...and who to toss by the wayside.

Hey Nancy. 8 Democrats voted to block it and 3 did not vote. So the GOP did not kill it alone. They had help.

first step to address our nation’s broken immigration system

Dear Madam Speaker:

Some of us think the first step to address "our nation's broken immigration system," as you call it, would be to enforce the laws that Congress has already enacted concerning this matter. To that end you should address your remarks to the President of the United States, rather than suggest some sort of mass capitulation to those who have violated these laws.

Sincerely,
  ML/NJ

Peltrollski needs to do something seriously useful, like fly to San Diego, have several Caffèlatte’s, pi$$ on some brush fires and personally thank all of those that are functioning well to save lives and properties.
