Thanks for the additional post. It does clarify my confusion somewhat.

However, upon reading the Cornyn amnesty I got confused again.

SEC.218A GUEST WORKER PROGRAMS

(4) to establish procedures for providing healthcare;

Does this mean illegal aliens from Mexico will be excluded? Mexico never has and never will pay one d--n dime for the health care of their citizens.

Re: "establish procedures for providing healthcare"

My guess is that would be the McCain, et al. "Federal Responsibility for Immigrant Health Act"

Re: "Mexico never has and never will pay one d--n dime for the health care of their citizens"

Uh..we are responsible says McCain, et al.

George W. Bush will go down in the history books as the American President who gave America away to Mexico.

Can Texas freepers PLEASE explain why the heck this dull establishment candidate and his liberal stance on immigration won the primary?

That was the quietest "open seat" primary I have EVER seen. Cornyn didn't even bother to campaign, was about as exciting as oatmeal, and STILL got like 80% of the primary vote. He was running for the Senate the reason Jim Ryan ran for Governor here in Illinois-- he was the Attoneny General so the party leaders asked him to because of his name reconition. He was the "default" nominee. Did TX freepers even BOTHER to vote in the primary? If you guys had, you should have considered a real conservative like Doug Deffenbaugh.

The Battle for Ilegal Alien Amnesty will be fought within the Republican tent in 2004.

Agreed. But what this is really all about is the propping up our neighbor to the South and their bankrupt economy. Presidente Fox has freely admitted that Mexico's primary and major source on income is the U.S. dollars flowing back across the border from its Mexican citizens working and living in the U.S. of A.

The current Administration can't / won't allow the Mexican economy to collapse so you have all of these Constitutionally defying bills pouring out of Republican controlled Washington and it will only get worse from the American citizens viewpoint. This is one of the results of the "Compassionate Conservatism" that we voted for.

I sent him an email asking him about CRIMINAL INVADERS.
I also said I had voted for him.
Of course I got no reply.

ALl of this is sick, sick, sick!

Particularly this...

Hatch is also sponsoring a Constitutional Amendment that would allow naturalized citizens, including Amnestied Illegals, to hold the office of President of the United States

These people have gone nuts. Time to route the viper out!

Time for some Republican recalls? Here is the way things are set up in Texas to the best of my knowledge.

When a candidate wishes to be funded by the Texas Rebublican Party, he must read the Texas platform, agree to it, an attach his signature to each page, swearing to uphold that platform, before any funds or support is forthcoming.

Both Bush and Cornyn have violated their contract with the Texas Republican Party. It's time to get jiggy about that. I plan to call Cornyn's office tomorrow and remind him of what he signed onto and ask if he doesn't consider his actions subject to recall and or lawsuit for the return of the funds he received from the Texas Republican Party.

Permit me to hint, whether it would not be wise & seasonable to provide a a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expresly that the Command in chief of the american army shall not be given to, nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.

Can you elaborate?

[Jeff Head]

These bozos take an OATH to protect, defend and bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution.

Sponsoring a Bill that is in DIRECT opposition to the Constitution represents a willful breaking of that oath IMHO.

Hatch should be impeached if this is true, ASAP.

[Jeff Head]

Bro, read this and prepare to retch.

See my 29 and 33.

Sure, the Texas Republican Party Platform, is the most conservative document you will ever read. It calls for our removal from NAFTA, GATT, and the U.N. It calls for the retaking of the Panama Canal even.

It calls for increased border patrol, no drivers liscense's for illegals, and I believe no amnesties. A candiate is given a copy of the Party Platform, he must read it, initial each page, and then sign a document agreeing to uphold all the principles outlined and make them his earnest agenda, before any money or support is forthcoming. It is a legally binding contract with the people of Texas, and it is being broken.

About twelve years ago a group of senior citizens chased Congressman Dan Rostenkowski chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee through the streets of Chicago.

As it turned out Rostenkowski was a crook. Maybe what we need is a full accounting of all the Senators and where their money is coming from. There has to be a motive for wanting to sell the American people out this bad...

FAIR asks to oppose this bill. See the great state of Texas ha!

[harpseal]

The reasoning behind the native born requirement was to prevent any foreign power from dominating the USA by installing a President. We should not mess with this provision.

Senator Cornyn obviously is trying to repay the businesses that funded his campaign for Senator last year....by helping provide them cheap labor.

I hope illegal aliens invade his Texas neighborhood....throwing their dirty diapers in his driveway.
