Senate leaders reached an agreement yesterday on immigration reform legislation that would strengthen border security but also would allow millions of illegal aliens who have been in the U.S. for two years or longer to apply for citizenship. Derided by conservatives as "amnesty," the proposal could be amended but senators on both sides of the aisle say they doubt it will be dramatically altered. "Senate Republicans are united in their commitment to an open and full debate on multiple amendments," said a statement from seven Republicans who represent the full spectrum of positions on immigration reform. "We are willing to put differences aside so we can get on with the important work to be done securing our borders and grappling with the 12 million illegal immigrants currently living in our country," said the group that included Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee, Sen. John McCain of Arizona and Sen. John Cornyn of Texas. "We are also in agreement that efforts to curtail the debate prematurely will only derail this process. We call on Senate Democrats to allow an open debate and votes on this complex and challenging issue," the statement read. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, with whom Mr. Frist has been negotiating for weeks, said he "welcomed" the return of the thorny bill to the floor.

I didn't know people in favor of enforcement are called border trolls. I guess I'm a one, but I also didn't support Miers. What does that make me?
BTW, I voted for President Bush and would do so again and again over anything the Dems have put forth.

I've never had a problem with the moderators. In fact, one of them helped me out earlier when I screwed up a post. I was very vocal against Miers, I think the Republicans are literally suicidal over the immigration issue, and I don't care for President Bush's big government approach to most issues. Shoot, I've even stated I believe money should be given directly to conservative Republican candidates versus the RNC. Yet, they haven't banned me. If you've been banned in the past or had posts deleted, are you sure it was over the issues, or did you violate some other rule? Notice your present comments are highly critical of the mods, but they haven't deleted them? I'm not denying what you say is happening. I just haven't seen that side of Free Republic.

I guess you would be a TBT. You had to be a troll to oppose Ms. Miers and now here you are a border troll.
I ditto your feelings on voting for GW.. do it again and again, But I reserve my right to let him know when I disagree with his policies.

I don't mind if a bunch of people who WANT to become Americans and WANT to stay in the United States learn English and eventually become citizens. The big thing I mind is the wide open border. If we give amnesty and keep the border open, then it's an invitation for the rest of Mexico to come.
Hey JP... Hugs to ya'!
They got thwacked over amnesty last time and their braintrust response is to replay the amnesty card. ...
These guys have all outlived their usefulness.
Yes.
How many of them have publicly advocated the destruction or subornation of our culture?
| We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture. Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende. For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America. As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico. George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000. |
Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:
In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on.
