However, my guess is that he has talked to about two people.

Reminds me of Pauline Kael's famous reaction to Nixon's landslide victory in 1972...

"How can that be? No one I know voted for Nixon!"

This is why he is headed back to Utah and Orrin Hatch is going to join him.

I’d buy that...Just substitute the word “deportation” where appropriate throught the law...For example: “immediate deportation” in place of “obtain temporary residency for a six year period”...

How utterly strange of you to say that the worst aspect of using near slaves is their social costs ~ to wit: education and medical.

Obviously you are BLIND to the more expensive social costs which include DISPLACEMENT OF AMERICANS FROM THE LABOR MARKET.

Currently we have about 20 million Americans who are unemployed or underemployed.

They deserve the jobs employers have illegally given to foreign nationals.

I completely agree with you. It is one thing to allow some to stay, quite another to make them citizens. There is absolutely no justification to provide a “path to citizenship” for people who have violated our laws. Unless, of course, you’re a RAT politician trying to pad your numbers.

don't freak out, this is nothing but hot air to get the liberals to ease up on their lame duck push.

After the Tea Party arrives in January, we will be safe for the next 2 years.

All Tea Party groups must organize oversight committees to ensure that all RATs and RINOS are identified for removal at the ballot box in 2012. Notify the Congress that they will be watched and all their actions reported to the American people. We must vote out the corrupt, power-hungry thugs before we’re bankrupt and no longer a free nation. Newly elected politicians, that do not live up to their campaign pledges, are to be voted out in 2012. 2012 starts now.

“Wrong on all counts. We the People are forced via high taxation to subsidize that “cheap labor.” That’s called privatizing the profits and socializing the costs. Tyranny.”

1) The US does not increase taxes to offset expenditures. Thus our ridiculous deficit. So there is no high taxation associated with illegals.
2) If you are worried about expenditures that are bankrupting our economy, Social Security, Medicare, and Defense absolutely dwarf any costs associated with illegal immigrants. While illegal immigrant costs are not insignificant, they are trivial when compared to the big three.
3) The comment about privatizing profits and socializing risks - a bit of a stretch...

Near Slaves???

-People who work for an agreed wage
-Free to not work
-Free to quit
-Free to leave

That is a strange definition of ‘near slaves’.

As to the job costs, most of the illegal immigrants are involved in ‘menial labor’ jobs. The unemployed get much better pay through unemployment benefits than through taking these jobs. You should be much more upset with the federal government enabling people to live off the government rather than taking ‘menial jobs’.

Laura Ingram was talking about this today on Fox and she said the GOP had better think twice about this because there will be hell to pay and that mean money support.

Undocumented students devastated after U.S. Senate blocks DREAM Act
A controversial bill that would have granted legal status to hundreds of thousands of undocumented students was blocked once again in the Senate Saturday.

The 55-41 vote in of the so-called DREAM Act was five votes shy of moving onto the Senate floor, effectively killing its chances of passing this year.

Immigration activists and undocumented students, some of whom drove overnight from Miami to Washington, reacted with frustration on hearing the final vote. Dozens gathered at Yambo Restaurant in Little Havana to watch the procedural vote on C-SPAN.

“I don’t get it. This is disappointing, but we have to keep fighting,” said 22-year-old Adrián Escarate, who was 3 when his family immigrated illegally to the U.S. from Chile. “I don’t know Chile. The only country I know is this one.”

measure earlier this month, 216 to 198.

Senate leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said in a press conference after the vote that the Republican Party “will pay for this’’ in 2012 by losing votes in the Hispanic community.

Ooooooooooooooooh I am so scared Republican Party “will pay for this’’
Why don’t they arrest the parents of these kids for bringing them here in the country illegally, they made them part of an Criminal act.I am sure they see how their parents behave and duck the law when approached about certain things.This is just a ploy to get people to have sympathy for law breakers. How is this Dream act fair to those millions of people who have applied for citizenship and are doing all the right things waiting for their turn to enter this country? These kids have already had the benefits of citizenshp merely by being given an education and other opportunities that living in the US provides. It simply is NOT fair to US citizens for these parents of these children to rip off this country by taking what is not legally theirs. I am not heartless, but when our own citizens cannot get health care or education assistance, it is time to send these people back to their own country. This country is way to careless with its security and we will AGAIN reap the results in some horrific way one of these days. It is time for everyone to have identification and documention with them every time they are out in public. That may seem extreme but this is a much different world than it was before 911. The immigration bill now in existence was enacted to prevent the kind of problems we have now but the feds did not enforce it so what will this new Dream Act do? Not a thing, it will make all these illegals citizens and a new group of illegals will invade the US wishing to get amnesty also.
