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 ! |

Saturday, May 13, 2006 10:04 a.m. EDT Tom Tancredo Skeptical on Bush Border Plan
Leading illegal immigration foe Rep. Tom Tancredo says that if President Bush announces a plan to deploy the National Guard along the U.S.-Mexican border in his speech to the nation Monday night, he'll support it.
"We train National Guard all over the country, and there is no reason why we shouldn't be conducting that training on our borders," Tancredo told ABC News. "Really, we are not trying to take them from other places where they are needed."
But he remains skeptical on whether the White House will follow through.
"I hate to be too cynical about this, but my guess is it is simply being done to influence the debate in the Senate and in the House on the immigration package," Tancredo told Knight Ridder news on Friday. "And once the debate is over, we'll go back to business as usual."
The Colorado Republican said he fears that Bush is merely "is hoping to take the argument off the table that we're not doing enough on the enforcement side so that they can get the bill passed giving him an amnesty/guest-worker plan, and that will be the last you hear about securing the borders."
Tancredo has been at odds with the White House for years over the immigration issue. After a now legendary meeting in 2001 with top Bush advisor Karl Rove, where he warned that Bush was making a mistake by ignoring illegal immigration, Tancredo said he was told he'd never be invited back to the White House again.

"Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is warning that the immigration bill favored by Senate Republicans will permit up to 36 million illegal aliens, as opposed to the 11 million being cited by proponents, to remain in the U.S. a number that will make the average American "furious" when learned and will hurt the GOP."

Who really knows how many.. but I did start thinking about those numbers we hear, anywhere from 12M to over 30M ...Mind boggling really.
So if there are roughly half of that, 16 Million illegals, and they got amnesty, it would be equivalent of the entire state of Florida's population!
Or if I use some of the lesser populated states, and if there are 16 Million illegals, then the equivalent of ALL these 15 state's populations combined would become legal:
W. Virginia, Nebraska, Idaho, Maine, New Hampshire, Hawaii, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, S. Dakota, N. Dakota, Alaska, Vermont, DC, and Wyoming!
Our politicians have screwed the American people and this Great Nation big time! This can not be allowed to stand.
And so few answers...
