Many here think that this vote is a victory and Congress will now turn to deportation. They are wrong.

For once I agree with you. The Senate will indeed block every attempt to strengthen enforcement of our immigration laws, better protect our borders and make it difficult for Illegal Aliens to acquire false IDs. There are simply too many Senators who are in the back pocket of the OBL for any meaningful change in the open borders status quo at this time.

It only highlights just how disconnected the Senate, particularly the RINO leadership is from the American electorate.

Though I would not be so smug and assured that the Senate will forever do your Open Borders bidding. With the approval ratings of Congress and Bush plummeting, there very well might be some interesting developments that you and the OBL are not going to like in the next few years.

Given all the mounting problems in this country that are purposely being ignored by Congress and the Administration, the political environment is ripe for change.

I suspect they'll be able to keep us distracted with gay marriage and Janet Jackson's boobs for quite a few more election cycles.
