Best reply of read on this thread. Give me LAPD 10 most wanted. Simply priceless! It's amazing that freepers can't grasp the magnitude of Bush's error.

The major media outlets are giving Bush a pass on this one because they know most of these illegals will vote democrat.

Your #2513 is EXCELLENT! It's also a bit alarming in its implications.

This does not represent the normal "wheeling and dealing" we're told must "inevitably" result in "compromise" for the good of the country. Unless all these congressmen are incredibly uninformed, this represents sheer intimidation in one form or another.

You should try some intellectual honesty yourself

I stand by my history of honesty and integrety.
Had I ever told a lie or mistruth on FR Joe Hadenuf would have already blabbed it to you.
Hear from JR yet? Calling me a liar is going to cost you 100 FR Bucks.
All for a good cause, right.
Have a nice night.

Don't tell me, tell Ronald Reagan.
I was quoting him.
Did you vote for Reagan?

There was an article in a New Mexico paper (I think New Mexico -- can't find it right now) within the last month on the subject that the politicians and the public were not in agreement on what should be done about immigration. One of the people interviewed/quoted in the article was a Republican strategist. To paraphrase what this strategist said, "We know what the public wants on immigration, but we don't care. When it comes time to vote, they won't vote based on the immigration issue but on other issues. So, we are going to do what we want on immigration regardless of what the people want because it won't cost us any votes". I don't know if they felt enough wrath over 245(i) to shift strategy or not. I was going to send a letter to the RNC (or somebody) pointing out that with a strategist like that they might be in deep trouble. Like do they realize that they probably lost control of the Senate because of immigration. If Abraham was not so pro-immigration then there would not have been as much support for the Reform Party candidate and Abraham would likely have retained his Senate seat and the Republicans would still have control of the Senate. Not to mention the fact that it was tremendously stupid of this strategist to announce in public that the Republican leadership just didn't give a damn about what the people wanted, they were only concerned about what they could get away with.

Numbers USA is reporting that the democrats in the Senate may hold this up and play politics with it. That's the best hope we have for killing it altogether.

Go Robert Byrd. Whatever is slogging through that senile old pork barreler’s brain I hope it is something that will stop Bush's Alien Nation Creation Act.

How about organizing a secessionist party to oppose the illegal Federal government? After we capture enough state legislatures, we formally break away from the Union. It's time for another American Revolution.

[Hemlock]

Its a BI PARTISAN scam.

I think it was George Carlin who said, "The word 'bipartisan' just means that some stranger than usual deception is taking place."

[Hemlock]

Writing letters and preaching to the choir isn't going to get the results we want. The pols aren't listening to us anynmore. A well organized march on D.C. would show that we are serious about this issue and possibly create a groundswell of support that the sell-outs won't be able to ignore.

Count me in.

Count me in as well. I also think we should march with unloaded weapons to send a message. It's perfectly legal to walk down the street with unloaded weapons. The globalist illegitimates only understand force or the threat thereof, and a strongly implied threat would make the evil vermin pee their pants, especially if we could get a million men to march this way.

It's perfectly legal to walk down the street with unloaded weapons.

And VERY foolish.

IN 7 DAYS BUSH DELIVERS AMNESTY TO FOX IN MEXICO

First line...lie.
Who are you working for, Mr. 78,483?

[Brownie74]

I don't believe President Bush realized the extent of the outrage the American people hold towards our out of control borders and immigration policies.

I don't know Joe. He has to know. I believe he just doesn't give a flip.

This administration, like others, lives by polls. They know that the polls say that 70 to 80% of Americans are opposed to immigration and leaky borders. They admit that their switchboards have been overloaded with calls. But yet they passed 245(i).

I can usually form an opinion on any given subject. Even if that opinion is wrong. But I can't on this one. I am totally confused. I think you can throw free trade, globalization, oil, and everything else out the window on this one. There has to be something else here that we are not seeing, and I don't know what that something else is.

We just have to keep fighting this thing. Win or lose, we can say we did our best.

The problem is that this isn't going to kill it. Look for them to slip it in by attaching it some afternoon to another piece of legislation. That's about the only way they can do it--to get it done when there isn't even 24 hrs. for anyone to raise a protest. Puting it on any published schedule allows the various watch groups to catch it.

Remember, the rest of the bill had already been passed last fall, and wasn't needed. That's why they used a duplicate bill in the House. So I'm thinking they'll attach it to something else.

[Brownie74]

"The primary obstacle thwarting the Republican Party from organizing to fight the immigration invasion is the strange belief-system on immigration in George W. Bush's head."

GWB is definately the problem. No question about that. He has a strong MoJo working in Washington. Why?

[Dante3]

Good point!
