LOL ... Just stealing the jobs Americans used to have.
Screw you, lib.
Protection?
Our government should be protecting citizens from the illegal invasion — not protecting the invaders!

High unemployment is the perfect time to inject more workers who will work for less money into the marketplace. (/sarc)
Yeah..like a castrated sheep is thoughtful and constructive.
So, Graham has, maybe, come to his senses. We’ll see. By the way where’s McCain on this...oh yea, he needs to fool his voters again for re-election. He’ll get back to his ways next year...maybe even switch parties.
Best that people who need a visa return home to get one.
BTW, to be an "immigrant" you must have a visa to immigrate.
Who's freakin fault is that? We had 11 million people BREAK THE LAW, and you want to pass more laws for them to break, while absolving them of their initial crimes.
If you want to be a citizen of this country, go home and get at the BACK OF THE LINE. Otherwise, STFU.
Not only steal our jobs but require us to have a National ID to boot that must be validated before getting hired. The proverbial of “mother may I” before going to work. In this case, mother is the gov’t. I don’t like the idea of having to get permission from the gov’t before I do something such as earn a living.
It doesn't need to be done. It was done in 1986 and that was supposed to have cleaned up the problem and started strict law enforcement. All it did was invite even more to enter the US illegally to wait for the next amnesty.
Screw the amnesty and start enforcing the law or the same mistake will be repeated again, and in twenty more years the problem will be even bigger.
He has been a legislator who betrayed his constituents, his country and his religion.
He is despicable and now will be de-elected.He cannot disappear fast enough.
His collegial, across the aisle approach is naive and stuopid, he does not realize that his dem colleagues are fascists. Stupid he is. Very , very stupid.
Earned legalization?!!!
So if you're not caught by the Border Patrol, you've earned citizenship?!!!
“High unemployment is the perfect time to inject more workers who will work for less money into the marketplace. (/sarc)”
IBM is importing them by the boatload.
You have to give libs some points for chutzpah, if nothing else.
Immigration reform to them would mean millions more democrat voters and an end to any chance of Conservatives winning back the government in 2010 and 2012.
We would be absolutely flat-lined, brain-dead, room temperature, bowling ball FRIGGING STUPID to give them a single millimeter on this or any other issue!!!
Most especially after the way they trick-phucked the entire nation on this “health care” scam.
Forget bipartisanship. This is as close to civil war as we can get without resorting to violence and you do NOT make deals with the enemy.

“Sen. Lindsey Graham has long been a thoughtful and constructive legislator...”
.
That comment was enough to stop any further reading.
The 30+ million illegals here do not deserve anything but prosecution. Graham deserves the same.
>> Edward Schumacher-Matos: “Or will they stay on their denial warpath?”
Denial?
>> “Those unauthorized immigrants already here would be offered earned legalization,”
Denial!
I am now hearing several different versions of this argument from the liberals I work with here in NY. The crux of it is this: “You didn’t want health care, but we passed it fair and square. Like it or not, it is now law for the rest of time. If you refuse to forget about it and try to obstruct the rest of our agenda, the voters are eventually going to blame you, the party of “no,” when the economy doesn’t revive itself.”
The problem with that, of course, is that the bill was certainly not passed fairly. It remains to be seen wether it was even passed legally, but it was passed in opposition to the polls and every Republican. The Democrats wanted it that way, which is why they never once sought our input. Now, they find themselves in a position of not being able to legalize any more of their agenda without our help. This could be the last bill Obama signs when he leaves office in three years. I’m sure some Republicans like Graham will do everything they can to make sure that doesn’t happen, but I know most of the people who hang around this website hope it does.
