What evidence do you have that the impreachment cannot be successful now with a GOP majority?

Are you high? The answer is in your question.

Can you answer the question though: "Are you in favor of an impeachment?!" Here - I will show you how easy it is to answer: No.

If those in the shadows come out with verifiable proof they've been paid without employers reporting them, without Congress applying an amnesty to those employers also, I can see a trainwreck for them on the horizon.

That will come back to bite the arses of those supposed-to-be pro-business GOPpers.

They in Washington rush headlong into decisions without thoroughly thinking them through to their end. If they ultimately lose their big corporate doners and their most conservative base over the mess, it serves them right.

99% are Catholics and pro-life though. We can deal with the Socialism down the line.

Yes, you did.

Don't slither away from your statements-although I suppos we should be used to that response from you-just because you're too cowardly to own up to them.

The only reason AMERICANS won't do "stoop labor"-as you sneeringly describe it-is because they do not want to work for slave wages.

I have news for you, dingus.

We abolished slavery and indentured servitude in this country, and the fact that you and your Big Agra/Wall St. Journal chums don't like that state of affairs doesn't mean anything to me, or the vast majority of Americans.

My reality-and the reality of all of the other people who aren't reflexive Bush bots-is the reality where our country is being systematically destroyed, and the party in power is waging unrestrained warfare against the middle class.

Really?

Where's social security reform with the GOP majority?

Drilling In Alaska

Smaller government

The list goes on....

Wrong...mechanization is the future of our agribusinesses. Not more wokers.

You got a lettuce-picking machine in your garage?

How is this bill better than not granting fast-track citizenship to 20+ million illegal aliens?

I didn't say it was. I haven't read the bill, but what I've heard, I don't like.

That's different from saying that I wouldn't support any bill that has an amnesty component. My view is that the most important thing is to stop additional illegal immigration. If I have to trade some form of amnesty to get it, at least that's better than the status quo. But amnesty without significantly improved border protection is no better, and perhaps worse, than the status quo.

That's a no-brainer. You get it from their undocuments.

Stick by your guns, clawrence3!
I knew a kid in San Diego, his family, parents & grandparents, worked in the fields in the Imperial Valley.
His father went to college, then law school, and so did the son.
The American dream: more lawyers.

But who are we going to vote for in the next elections??? The Democrats are much worse when it comes to stopping illegal immigration. The Democrats wanted INSTANT citizenship for ALL illegal immigrants already here.

How will giving amnesty to millions of illegal aliens-and their extended "family"-reduce immigration in any way, shape or form?

We've tried this-repeatedly-in the past, and each attempt to "reform" immigration has simply led to greater and greater waves of illegal aliens crossing our border.

How many Mastercards are there floating around with your account number being used? These cards should also be tied to a bank account and the access to their payroll checks. The banking account number is set up with many checks that can be refined as time goes on. A counterfeiter who would try to use somebody's number would generate a termination order. That would require someone to go back to their home country and get a new card. Not a happy prospect. The countefeiter would be severely punished if caught. There are many ways that could be used to safeguard the system. I am not really as good as the experts.

Then raise wages, mechanize or go out of business. America does not need to destroy itself over the price of lettuce.

Farmers don't go out of business. They get subsidized.
