I want to know what laws I can break, what crimes I can commit, for which I not only will NOT be punished, but will be rewarded, as well! Oh, wait...I am an American citizen, born and raised; a Vietnam vet; and a tax-paying fool. Thus, I have no rights or privileges.

I doubt very much mr compassion saw the irony in evoking the deficit as something so much more important than normalizing millions of illegal aliens.

A product of public schools, no doubt.

Hello?? You can claim your amnesty up until the age of 30 and you only have to be here for 5 yrs. so you are eligible if you came here when you were 25. Also all you have to do is enroll for 1 class!!!

....we have bigger problems....like China and the deficit...but that’s a little more complicated than hating on the Hispanic kids isn’t it?

Nothing like giving them more rights than most American kids...This is about votes, not compassion and guess who they are going to vote for.

When I was a kid, I had a deadbeat dad. No one gave me ANYTHING. I earned my way through school, attended community college to start. I married a soldier, and we have worked for everything we have. Nothing was EVER guaranteed to me ever in life.

And now these punks whose parents brought them here illegaly will receive free in-state tuition, every aid, and acceptance into our military w/ additional benefits to them and their dependents ...and believe me, they will MILK that as well.

And the benefits of citizenship to those whose foundation in this country was built on breaking the law. And believe this — NONE of them are interested in the rule of law, or in contributing anything to this country. They are here to do what they’ve always done: take, take, take.

They make me sick. And our disgusting representatives in this Congress also make me sick. Such traitors to America this country has EVER known!!!

Where do things stand in the Senate vote wise for cloture and a possible final vote. When does the lame duck session end?

Spoken like a true liberal.

I'm about as "liberal" as Attila the Hun. For the past twenty years the federal government and the general population has looked the other way as millions of folks have entered this country for jobs. That's because the employers, and you, needed their services. Now that the worm has turned, suddenly the federal government is building 2500 bed immigration detention facilities and everyone on FR is screaming "deport them all"....in the middle of this mess is a bunch of kids...no different from yours....who came here when they were 2 (or 4, or 6, etc) holding their momma's hand who are now 20 and just want a chance to become a regular person....they want a drivers license and a job. Many would join our military and fight for this country....you would deny them that chance. Back to "liberal"...I would change our immigration laws back to the 1964 version if I were in charge....European based immigration, and keep America a Western Culture....but these kids deserve a chance.

You know the Senate will pass it...

I don't know. Reid planned to have the vote today, then decided to let the House vote first, probably because he didn't have the votes. It'll be close, and many commentators have been saying it has no chance, but I've never quite been that confident. There are six or eight Dims who are up in 2012 who won't be as reliable to Reid and Obama as during the past two years.

The DREAM act appears to have a pretty minimal set of requirments.

Huh? Didn't you post the following?

Sunday, November 14, 2010 5:48:22 PM · 100 of 198 northwinds to La Enchiladita

Reminds me of last week in the grocery store line.....a young hispanic couple in front of me had two carts loaded with groceries and were paying for it with food stamps. They were laughing, speaking in Spanish, and grabbing on each other the whole time as the clerk had to negotiate the food stamp voucher process. Not to mention that the guy had on a “Mexico” t-shirt. Their last item was dog food...which they had to pay for with cash. When it was my turn, I looked at the cashier and said “I guess I paid for those groceries and mine tonight”....her response was “you got that right”. And because this is played out over and over in America I will not get my money back from social security when I turn 62 after working and contributing for forty years...and I’m not supposed to be angry about that?

First you bitch and NOW you want to make their children citizens? You're not impressing anyone here. You're full of it.
