House Majority Leader John A. Boehner refused yesterday to rule out compromising with the Senate to expand the House border security bill to include a guest-worker program or provisions that opponents call "amnesty." "Let's wait and see what the Senate can produce," he told reporters yesterday when asked whether House Republicans would reject the Senate Judiciary Committee's proposal to allow the estimated 12 million illegal aliens now in the U.S. to seek citizenship after paying a fine.

Same way they are planning on tracking the rest of us. You didn't read the RealId requirements did you?
The purposed system is just as rife for abuse potential as the current system. The difference being of course that the CURRENT laws are not being enforced.
It's just logical that we try to enforce current law before we try and hammer some new POS, half-baked scheme through Congress.

The RINO contingent has a Boehner, they're not thinking clearly.

They pass the House version and they lose the moderate center.'Moderate center' ? Have you seen the polls ? Is it your impression that there is a 'moderate center' that wants to turn America into Oaxaca ? Is there a 'moderate center' that wants a Mexico Lobby to determine who becomes president ten years from now ? Is there a 'moderate center' that wants French style banlieue rioting here ?

The nuke option is meant for judges only. Frist won't invoke it for regular business.
IOW he is going to bend over and grab 'em again and let the true majority leader (Reid) tell him how things are going to happen?

Well, it's not like I haven't been called that before. :-)
I think equating BushBots with commies is a little over the line.
And you all can leave off the "menopausal" stuff; it's silly. You're a better poster than that.

I looked through this entire thread and did not see DC address the mods once. You're being awfully vile. And by the way, the this "bunker" rhetoric is the specialty of the gun-grabbers. Thanks for showing your true colors.

Exactly.
I would love to know what percentage of Congress that approved the last amnesty is still in office.
I know for a fact that Conyers is still the same senescent, addled dolt now that he was two decades ago.
How can he look all of the unemployed African-Americans and auto workers displaced from their jobs-who live in his district-in the face after this?

"By definition", so is everyone who has ever exceeded the speed limit, or changed lanes without using their signal. That's plain, objective fact too. Doesn't make those who have done so unworthy of being Americans, though.
No those are infractions not crimes....
To: trubluolyguy
IOW he is going to bend over and grab 'em again and let the true majority leader (Reid) tell him how things are going to happen?No, the nuclear option was intended for the filibustering of federal judges, which had never been done before 2002.
Eliminating the filibuster (which is something neither the GOP nor the Democrats want to do) would turn the Senate into a smaller version of the House.

""By definition", so is everyone who has ever exceeded the speed limit, or changed lanes without using their signal. That's plain, objective fact too. Doesn't make those who have done so unworthy of being Americans, though."
Comparing traffic violations of citizens with the premeditated invasion of a foreign country by an individual who plots to violate both its laws as well as its sovereignty is absurd. Insinuating that those who violate the national sovereignty of the United States have a right to citizenship is offensive.

You answered the question, now why do we need new legislation instead of strengthening current legislation that's already law?

My estimate of the situation is that this thread, and you and your opponents have degenerated into an insult furball. I think you all have lost the subject and are just engaged in insulting each other. It is hard to see who is right, who is wrong and who is just partying.Well, duh!

Read the damned post and stop promoting the pointless furball. It is just what the RATS and Invaders want.
By the way, stop calling them illegal aliens...call them what they are, "Invaders"!

To: jmc813
Facts seem to have little bearing on Coops mentality. They seem impervious to even a moderate attempt to return the thread to anything remotely resembling a decent discussion.
Considering the levels of personal attacks initiated by Coop, it's a wonder the Mods didn't step in.
