I have listened to all sides of the guest worker/amnesty debate. I have heard from Democrats and Republicans:
1. The poor hard working illegals, what they go though to get here, Mexico is sooooo poor
2. poor big business, they need the labor
3. there are jobs that Americans won't do (barf)
4. The parties (Dems and Repubs) can't peeve off the hispanic voting base and illegals.
The one thing that I have NOT heard from these politicians is concern for the American citizen and what we want. Every reliable poll out there says we are tired of illegal immigration and want the borders secured....not a guest worker program.
If/when this amnesty passes it will be total proof that we do NOT have a representative government any longer. What do we do then?
Somehow, someway there has got to be a way for the American people to repeal the 17th Amendment. The Senate is where the people really get screwed. The House is standing firm on our desire to seal the borders and strictly enforce the laws.
Some Freeper needs to tell find out how we can get the ball rolling to get rid of these Senators. The Founders distrusted direct democracy that is why they wanted the Senators elected by the State Legislatures.
Lock and load and buy LOTS of rope.
Then we begin again.
