Illegals granted Social Security (05/18/06-Senate 50-49 vote/based on past illegal employment ????)

I'm sorry ...from the preamble of the Declaration of Independence...

"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."....

penned by Thomas Jefferson these words are most applicable to the context "equal under the law" which was a revolutionary concept. The law in a monarchy is variable/whimsical depending basically on whatever the king decides it is at the moment. Those in favor in the King's court got away with things no common man could.

IMHO, our Senate is behaving as though illegal immigrants may be above and beyond our laws, which would apply to you and I. I don't understand, nor do I particularly want to understand how this can be. The Senat is attempting to trash 225 years of Freedom's struggle to maintain the existence of law that is equally applicable to each one of us, and not subject to whim and fancy.

I didn't mean to be confusing.

...."We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."....

Lovely document the 'Declaration of Independence', "all men (citizens of America) are created equal". People died so we don't have kings, and the current Senate in a royalty kingly fashion, believe we don't really, really know what's best for us..... specially on immigration.
Yes there are laws, but let's not enforce them.
Yes we have borders, but let's not secure them.
Oh and yes, the 12 million people who illegally crossed our borders and violate our laws ..... let's adopt them,
and their friends and families, and let them vote.

While we're at it, at taxpayers expense, lets provide job security to the representatives of the people, those lofty intellectuals of the Senate, who know what's best for us, despite our wishes.

Power is the game of politics, the quest for power will have some casualty's, hopefully the Declaration of Independence will not be among them.
