In case you missed it. Here we go again.

Since they are not listening to the people, the next thing will be pushing the cap and trade bill. Obama wants all this done before the 2010 elections. With clauses in the bills that prevent future congresses from changing them, Obama, Reid and Pelosi don't care if they lose some seats. At least they will have the bills they want to build on in the future, even if they become the minority. They will get enough of the RINO’s to go along with them.

I am so sick of these people, I just hope the Republicans have the backbone to fight all these future bills until the elections.

So now we use this in conjunction with the healthcare bill. Let the American people now that if millions of illegals are granted amnesty they will qualify for healthcare which the American taxpayer will be paying for. They will be taking more jobs that Americans are now taking to feed their families. Obama and the rats are going to have one hell of a fight on their hands. We need to go after this administration with everything we’ve got. Drive his numbers into the ground.

I read until I got to “twelve million”. How stupid do they think we are.

[PigRigger]

After they pass the the Healthcare abomination bill...they will need votes for reelection....and they know where to get them....

Hope and Change was not limited to the legal population.....they intend to mold the American population into the serfs we should be....

Our nation is on the edge....and the left intends on pushing it over into the abyss....doesn't matter where it ends up....just so long as they keep power...

Also, this is a good day to remember the death by illegal alien of Bob Clark and his son, who gave us the movie “A Christmas Story”.

IF they get obamacare and any form of amnesty at all I don't see how the country can recover financially.
In addition,I go absolutely nuts every time I see the figure of 12 million illegals as if that were accurate. The true number is much higher and I have documented it here numerous times.
Why we, on this forum let the DBM set the agenda on something as important as the true number of illegals is beyond me.

If they even *attempt* to pass this (and this bill is why they are not listening on the others -- they have (in their mind) the ready-minted infinite supply of fake voters, and ACORN to vote for them) -- I foresee real problems.

Cheers!

...and Merry Christmas.

Well now that they’ve completely bucked their voters, they’re going to need new supporters. :)

[Hardastarboard]

issues such as eliminating visa backlogs and giving green-card holders the same rights as citizens to bring their spouses and children to the U.S.

Makes sense.

a provision that would allow the country's 12 million illegal immigrants to legalize by paying a $500 fine, learning English and passing a criminal-background check.

Not just no, HELL NO! Anybody here want to bet me a sawbuck that any of this will happen, or will they just be waved past the checkpoint? Anybody? Nobody for sucker bets, huh?

It would also require employers to check a federal database to verify the immigration status of job applicants.

They should ALREADY be required to do this. If the EPA can literally regulate the air I breathe (out), why can't we make employers obey the immigration laws using the regulatory agencies? Anybody want to bet that if this DOES become law, violations will be treated the Charlie Rangel's tax evasion?

[Kimberly GG]

“It includes a provision that would allow the country’s 12 million illegal immigrants to legalize...”....

no matter the means...it will be very interesting to see how many of OUR congresscritters and prospective presidential candidates support this.

[rexgrossmansonlyfan]

Nobody hates illegals more than the good honest people of all nationalities that are legal immigrants. I worked with some a few years ago and asked about the process. It is quite extensive but they all felt it worth it.

Of course the illegals can pass background checks. When you use a fake social security number it’s easy to pass one.
