Frankly, this one scares me.
We beat back the previous "comprehensive immigration reform" only because we made Congress aware that is was hugely unpopular and would cost them their jobs.
However, that doesn't seem to work with this Congress.
On the other hand, every Democrat will realize that, as far as their immediate election chances are concerned, amnesty is their only way out! Instant amnesty, with citizenship swearing-in ceremonies at your local football stadium.
And, in the Senate, there will be a few Republicans who will join in -- in the interest of gaining re-election (temporarily), while engaging in bi-partisanship.
How would John McCain vote on this issue? Or Lindsay Graham? Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
Further, the buy-out of Mary Landrieu will look like chump change when the future of the Democrat party goes on the line. They'd give Snow and Collins Acadia National Park to get them on board, with Maine getting half of New Hampshire.
We've got to view an amnesty initiative as very, very real. And very, very dangerous.
Just think. If you were the Saudis, wouldn’t you just offer each member of Congress a billion dollars? How many would turn that down? Just a handful.
If you were the Saudis, and wanted to destroy the U.S. in the name of Jihad, and could do it for less than $500 Billion, wouldn’t you do it?
