All they’re going to do is sit around and talk and talk and talk until it’s to late to do anything..........the problem is ........they know it.

Do NOT underestimate the drive behind this amnesty gambit.

These driving forces are almost unstoppable. All Democrats, almost the entire leadership cadre of the Republican Party, this President and the next President, the entire MSM, the Chamber of Commerce, CEOs of nearly EVERY large corporation, lobby groups from every trades and services business, the unions, - they are all for amnesty and open borders, and they are determined to get them. Damn the stupid American people who are interfering with their quest for power and profit.

It required an overwhelming wave of opposition and condemnation by the American public (70-80%) to turn it aside last summer, but they are counting on America's historical chronic fatigue syndrome to await an increasing lack of interest to eventually sneak it by them.

Sadly, a McCain presidency will guarantee amnesty as the author of the legislation himself "reaches across the aisle" to work with Reid and Pelosi to jam amnesty down the stupid Americans' throats. And the spineless Republicans in Congress will "have to support our President McCain".

At least with an Obama presidency, guaranteed to be a failure soon after its initiation, Republicans in Congress might be able to raise the courage to oppose it. Not good options, but it's a McCain certainty vs. an Obama possibility.

300,000,000 people and we're down to these 3. Geesh!

Bumper sticker material for sure.

Absolutely correct.

They should wait til after the election. In an election year, people are paying attention.

I fear you are right. The only consolation I have is that, last summer, Bush, McCain, the Democrats, the GOP leadership, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, etc, all together, couldn’t get it done, and a lot more people are riled up about it at this point. You point about fatigue is well taken, but I think some of the people who weren’t involved last summer have now become irate. Oh, and Obama has said, in essence, he will not control our borders. I am waiting for someone to ask all of them how many more we are supposed to absorb.
