Stunning facts about the proposed immigration bill

SENATOR SESSIONS ON SECURING AMERICA'S BORDERS ACT Mr. President, I thank Senator Leahy, ranking member on the Judiciary Committee. I have received just this afternoon in my office some disturbing news in the form of correspondence from the Congressional Budget Office. It suggests a number of areas where the amendment we are talking about here today, No. 3424, the immigration so-called compromise, violates our budget and the rules of the Senate. Let me read from the correspondence we have received. This is something, as you know, Mr. President, as a member of the Judiciary Committee, that we never discussed at all. It is not a matter we spent any time at all discussing as we moved forward with legislation which ultimately cleared that committee and came to the floor — legislation which I thought was not good legislation and which I opposed, and so did the Senator from Texas, who just relinquished the Chair. We didn't discuss the financial impact of the legislation before us. Stand Up For America !

"We have room for but one flag, the American flag...
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...
And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

I swear I heard 'them' say Battista! repeatedly and the majority of the protestors were White!

I loved when our side yelled Where's Your Flag- Speak English-Go Home

Thanks for the great round-up, Piper.

As always, I found some stories and threads I had missed.

Just remember, the for sale RINO senators haven't passed the time of day yet. This is far from being a done deal! Whatever legislation passed by the senate, must be reconciled with H.R. 4437, and the House Republicans.

Don't forget about Hastert and the Conference Committee. IMO we need HR 4313. I don't think that 4437 goes far enough but nevertheless. Contact Hastert early and often. We need strong appointees on that Committee.

Throughout the Senate debate on immigration reform, members of the Senate have tried to develop strategy around the Conference Committee. The Conference Committee will be made up of Members from both the House of Representatives and the Senate appointed by the Leadership of each chamber. The Conference Committee is responsible for hammering out the differences of the enforcement/border security bill the House passed in December (H.R. 4437) and whatever legislation the Senate can pass.

As we explained above, the Senate will bring up the Hagel-Martinez guest worker amnesty legislation as they try to address immigration reform once again. If the Senate manages to pass a guest worker amnesty, which we will fight every step of the way, the guest worker amnesty will be “conferenced” with the House’s H.R. 4437. Speaker Dennis Hastert will help decide which Members of the House he will send to work with the Senate on a final immigration reform package. Speaker Hastert is indicating that he favors appointing members who support amnesty to the Conference Committee. Both President Bush and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist are pressuring Hastert to secure a guest worker amnesty for which the President can claim credit by stacking the Conference Committee with amnesty backers!

Why President Bush, Majority Leader Frist and Speaker Hastert are more than willing to give this country away is anyone’s guess, but we need you to help. We urge you to contact all four of Speaker Hastert’s offices. He needs to know that he should be siding with the American public and not with the corporate special interests Bush and Frist want to please.

Please call all four telephone numbers to tell Speaker Hastert that backers of H.R. 4437 should be in any Conference Committee! Strong enforcement-only Members of the House to represent the American people!

A look at Michelle Malkin's blog proves that I can still be shocked. We are *just beginning* to learn how much the Mexican government is dictating to us in protecting their law-breakers. So, uh, I think I'll step outside for a minute:

[nicmarlo]

yeah...but I'm not smiling!!!!

arm twisting...threats of withholding funding...

[La Enchiladita]

Guess who called THEM on the phone?!

Ed McMahon saying you've won the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes...??!!

[nicmarlo]

lol! I pinged BQ because she's usually on the receiving end of that. : )

[La Enchiladita]

You mean... she's as baad as I am...? Could that BE?!

[nicmarlo]

Probably time for a new thread soon...I think about this time the mods say the thread slows down (I remember that from being on another "series" thread that would always get this long).

Surprising, isn't it, the number of posts already.

[nicmarlo]

I think she's probably worse...but don't tell her I said that!! (sssh) : )

[nicmarlo]

I'll call him on Monday, too.
