This is outrageous, and a sign of what's wrong with these people. Almost a TRILLION EFFING DOLLARS is a "technical fix." I'll bring the feathers, someone start cooking up the tar.
Other than adding trillions to our national debt, how does this amnesty fiasco help Americans? Do these foghorns work for US or for the foreign nationals and terrorists illegally entering the country?
We HAVE rules for gaining entry legally. We are NOT enforcing them. We haven't since Pres Eisenhower gathered up nearly all of them and sent them by ship back to deep Mexico.
Anytime the rules aren't followed the result in chaos.
<....”the borders MUST be sealed to keep illegals out”.....>
That is never going to happen momf.....it’s not in the plans of either party, nor will it be....they will make just enough tweeking to be able to say they “won” the tweeks....but the border closing is only, and will forever simply be given,.... lip service.

I sent the following letter to both of my senators:
Dear Senator _________,
I am opposed to S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act and strongly encourage you to vote against this bill when it comes to a floor vote in the Senate. Politicians from both political parties are treating American citizenship as though it were a prize to be won on a TV game show. It is not. In no other country on earth is illegal immigration treated as lackadaisically as it is here in America. In Mexico, illegal immigrants are first sentenced to a term in prison before being deported to their home country. They are not rewarded with offers of citizenship, reduced or even free college tuition or access to public health and welfare institutions as we currently do with illegal immigrants.
Many claim that the illegal immigrants only seek a better life in America and are doing no harm. However, simply coming uninvited to America is a crime because they are ignoring and violating both our national sovereignty as well as our existing immigration laws. In addition, for many to obtain work, they purchase forged Social Security cards or other false documentation indicating that they are legal residents of the United States. These forged/falsified documents are violations of federal laws to which members of both political parties turn a blind eye.
The fact is that by refusing to enforce existing laws and imprisoning or deporting illegal immigrants, we are encouraging more to come. Many more. And, come they have bringing diseases, crime and questionable backgrounds that are increasingly burdening law enforcement. In many places, the catch and release programs only encourage additional crimes and are an insult to American citizens who would not be eligible for the same treatment. And, none of these equate to the drain that illegal immigrants have placed on our social, health and welfare services that have caused many cities and states to increase taxes in order to be able to continue providing these services to the American taxpayers who pay for them.
Above all, Senator, I have reached my limit of being treated like a foreigner in my own country. Everywhere I turn, there are Spanish language commercials on radio and television channels as well as Spanish billboards, and both English and Spanish labels on items available on store shelves. More often than not, because many store stocking positions are held by Spanish Speakers, it is not uncommon for an item to be placed on a store shelf with the Spanish label to the aisle and the English label to the back of the shelf.
Finally, I would also ask why the federal government requires that election ballots be printed in both English and Spanish? One of the requirements of a naturalized American citizen is that he/she be able to speak, read and understand conversational English. That being the case, why is it necessary to print election ballots in any language other than English? The taxpayers could save a lot of money each election if ballots were printed only in the traditional language of the United States, English!
Thank you, Senator.
(Anyone else sick to death of Rubios self-promoting radio commercials?)
******************************************************************
I’m sick of Rubio’s radio commercials, his TV commercials, his self-serving obsequiousness to Schumer, his B*ll Sh*t interviews with Rush & Hannity, his one-after-another flow of fund raising solicitations mailed to me and, most of all, I’M SICK AND TIRED OF RUBIO HIMSELF. He’s every-bit the narcissist that Obama is.
Plus Rubio is the biggest lying sack of scheiße to come up I95 in a very long time.
These scumbag Republicans who are voting with the Democrats need to be flushed down the toilet.
A group of conservative leaders, including Al Cardenas, chairman of the American Conservative Union, and Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax reform, issued a statement Wednesday in support of the legislation.
“... increases funding for implementation of reform by $900 billion. ... sponsors characterized [the amendment] as a bundle of technical fixes. “
So we are already starting a trillion dollars in the hole with this before the mass rape of the state and federal treasuries by the new welfare constituency even starts.
I know I sound defeatist but I cannot help knowing, and saying, that it does no good to write to any of our reps anymore. They don’t care about what we want or need. So much has been spent on illegal aliens and now they want to spend billions, maybe a trillion more??? Pandering to the Spanish people is the usual way of doing things now. I don’t believe it will stop until we have turned into just another Mexico.
I am going to go with option 2.
enabling law enforcement to pick up illegal immigrants after theyve traveled as many as 50 miles into the United States.
___________________________________________
Why not 5 inches ??? 5 feet ???
Would 5 yards not signal the illegal alien intentionly entered illegally ???
Since Schumer is a Zionist, he whould be asked why Israel seems able to do this but not the US. He should also be asked why we have a moral obligation to legalize invaders when Israel has no qualms about kicking them out.
This. I will either register Constitutional or American Freedom Party.
Just the other day I go to use my debt card, and I get a “fraud notice” that someone out in California had been using it to pay for their hotel room.
So, WHO got my charge card? WHO USED it ...I only use it in a few stores and on the internet ...well, I know damn well who did ..some illegal POS who works SOMEWHERE and scarfed it while standing at the counter slinging burgers or some such thing.
These people are used to a life of sneaking around, a life of crime, a life of petty theft to survive ...now we’ll have millions more of them with their sticky fingers stealing from us in both big and small ways ...through benefits, through ramming into our cars at night loaded with Coronas, or through identify theft.
These pols don’t have to live on the ground with these people ..they won’t have to share the ER with them, share a hospital room with them ...share schools, or anything else. They will just reap PROFITs from it.
We the People are the ones who will pay ...WE are the ones who should be rioting in the streets over this ...and hanging up these dupes who want to implement it. Saw that rat face Schumer on c-span and it made me want to throw a brick at the TV.
Had the same thing happen, recently. The bank reordered my card, a couple of weeks ago. Yet, did not notify me, until after the fact, by the arrival of the new card. Got a letter a couple of days later, informing me of a fraud incident- with no signature on the letter. I’ve been with this account for 32 yrs. It’s a great local bank, though it has changed in the last couple of years. Responsibility is a rare and endangered species.
I did this morning. I did not mince words and called him a traitor to the US and to Texas. I made it very clear that I will never vote for him again (I did the first time) no matter who he runs against.
