THIS STATEMENT ALONE SAYS ONE THING TO ME: AMERICA IS SCREWED! AMERICANS GET SCREWED! ILLEGALS WIN! ILLEGALS GET TO STAY! ILLEGALS ARE NOW LEGAL! ILLEGALS CONTINUE TO GET FREE MONEY, FREE HEALTH CARE, AS LEGALS! AMERICA IS DOOMED! TERRORISTS WHO ILLEGALLY GOT INTO THE COUNTRY CAN NOW BE HERE LEGALLY TO BE TERRORISTS! IN OTHER WORDS, AMERICA GETS YET ANOTHER BIG SHAFT FROM THE U.S. CONGRESS OF COMMUNISTS.
Cloture on the Spector bill just failed in the Senate, a filibuster is around the corner. And don't forget, HR 4437 passed with 239 votes remains the main political weapon the anti-amnesty House forces have on their side.
BINGO
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse form the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. Alexander Tyler
Start the countdown.
Your post says it all.
When I heard the news an hour ago I was so angry I had to leave my house and take a long walk.
Where do we turn now? What idiots these politicians are!
And people like me, who are legally immigrating to the U.S., are getting screwed for being law abiding and playing by the rules. I've legally been in the U.S. for almost 12 years, and an illegal whose been here 2 years and 1 day gets to stay, gets an employment authorization card (so he can work anywhere) while I'm on a visa specific to my job. Every legal immigrant I know feels betrayed by the U.S. government on this one.
