OK, so we need to get these bills written and submitted and they need to get into the campaign discussions, so the American people know where their candidates stand on each bill’s specifics and whether they support them and woudl sign them into law if placed on their desk.
THIS is one issue that the Republicans and McCain can win on, if McCain will do the right thing and this become the master plank in the fall effort.
It is a start, maybe a little late. If our congresspeople start acting like conservatives and protecting America’s interest rather than their own, maybe they can retake the majority. I hold more hope with congress than I do any of the presidential candidates.
“Jim Manley, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the Republican proposal “falls far short of what is needed.” Democrats want to combine enforcement with a guest-worker program and a way to deal with the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants. Reid “continues to support legislation that is tough on people who break the law, fair to taxpayers and practical to implement,” Manley said.” with talk like this from liberals maybe something can be done. I see that Corzine is making cuts to programs in NJ, Reid is talking tough on immigration. Is this an alternative universe or reality? feels like the twighlight zone. :-)
Okay, time to pinch myself and wake up ;-(
It’s embarassing that a Rat, Heath Shuler (D-NC-11), is outflanking the Republican standardbearers like McQueeg on this issue. Then again, considering the massive and growing illegal problem we have here in North Carolina, maybe even the worst quarterback the Redskins ever had can throw a completion on this one.

A party that nominates McCain is not going to do anything about securing the nation’s borders.
“Most of the bills stand little chance of being debated in the Democrat-controlled Congress,”
Says it all.
Just in time for the election to try to stir the base. They wouldn’t be doing so poorly if they’d already listened to the base.
They stand little chance of Bush signing them, too—the few bills that won’t die in committee.
I adore Michelle Malkin—conservative, tough as heck on the Border and interior enforcement, but to say these Senate bills are “tough” is a stretch. And besides, even if passed as is, do illegals in the past or currently respect and follow the laws of the land? No! They keep breaking them. Passing more laws won’t get the job done...ENFORCEMENT is the code word, and for years now, Chertoff and other “leaders” refuse to enforce Fed. Immigration law, except on a small scale.
Considering there are some 40 million-plus illegals in the U.S., I would say that the situation is urgent.
All for the sake of the “Community.”
If only McCain shared that view. Alas, he thinks the best way to deal with the illegal invaders is to close his eyes, loudly chant "la-la-la!!!" and reward the illegals with citizenship and "free" social services for which they never paid so much as one thin dime.
And then he has the audacity to tell us conservatives to "calm down." Feh! With "friends" like McCain, we'll never want for enemies.
So true, Digital Sniper!
But I wouldn’t assume that it’s gonna be “President McLame”...In any case, conservatives need to win the House back. That needs to be our primary focus.
‘Tis the season of the meaningless quadrenial senatorial strutting as they play their part in the presidential campaign.
After four long years of trashing party principles, insulting voters, and breaking every promise they now remember why they and the president were elected.
So now they make grandstand proposals of bills they know will not get passed, then strut, preen and crow like the political bantam capons they relly are.
It is easy to be bold when you know the President will never sign this kind of legislation...Lord Lame Duck will provide all the cover they need to boldly propose where no pol has proposed before...
Excellent!!!!
This is exactly what needs to be done by the GOP to win congress back.
