Hagel expects an OK on immigration bill

Sen. Chuck Hagel predicted Wednesday that the new Congress will pass a comprehensive immigration overhaul bill in the next session. The Nebraska Republican had strongly criticized his fellow GOP lawmakers in September for failing to update immigration law. He said then that it would cost them in the midterm elections.

i.e. Hello open borders.

Thanks for voting Democrat. :)

[tiger-one]

RINO's need to be fired. Chuck pack your bags

[mysterio]

Sad.

[neodad]

Viva Bush!

[Uncle Vlad]

As a native Nebraskan, I would like to apologize to the entire civilized world for Chuck Hagel. I hope we can finally drive this POS from the Senate in 2008.

"He said then that it would cost them in the midterm elections."

Right. That must have been what did it.

[John Lenin]

Bush cost the GOP the election because he took away the issue of immigration by being for open borders.

Thanks Michael Savage. Thanks Pat Buchanan. I hope you had fun savaging the Republicans in the run-up to the election. It is now time to pay the piper.

Who are the stooges of the globalists now?

Hagel will suffer for his collaboration. As one columnist put it, Republicans didn't lose this time around because they were conservative, but because they WEREN'T. And Hagel is no conservative. He is at the top of the "Must Be Purged" list.

Will the new amnesty plan supply billions to help keep additional hospitals from going broke supplying free medical care to the Third Worlders who cross the border?

[Strutt9]

Well, guess my husband and I better start learning Spanish. Heard it is easier then English.

" I hope we can finally drive this POS from the Senate in 2008."

Well, first count the number of illegal aliens in Nebraska. Then, after amnesty is passed, and they start voting, add them to Hagel's total. Congratulations, it will be Senator Hagel until quits or dies in office!

A strategy needs to be formed to stop this madness.

Gop conservative caucus the group pence is leading with tancredo needs to play hardball with Bush.

Bush will need the conservative caucus to block some of pelosi's agenda.


Anyone have suggestions how this can be stopped.

Bush needs to be told if you want us to veto your priorities then no comprehensive immigration reform.


There is no way the senate will filibuster with the rinos terrified for their jobs.

The dems united and blocked bush the difference will be the gop will cave.

So without a filibuster in the senate you will need bush to veto.

I don't see how this can be blocked without hardball from the conservatives in the house.

What I don't know are there even 145 members that would veto it if bush did.

Since I don't see bush vetoing the bill the only other option would be a strong conservative like jeff sessions using procedural delays anything to kill the bill.

Are there enough conservatives left to filibuster this?

[Strutt9]

Oh don't be too hard on the guy.. MSM has been telling him otherwise. Don't forget majority get their views from abcbsnbcnnmsnbc etc.

[ShawTaylor]

He said then that it would cost them in the midterm elections

What cost us dearly in the mid-term is people like Chuck Hagel and President Bush, selling conservatives down the drain with their amnesty for illegal alien law breakers program.

Perhaps Hagel should look at the turn out for these mid-term elections again:

In 2004 the vote went approx 50%-50% and 120 million votes were cast.

In 2006 the vote went 31 million Democrats to 25 million Republicans of the 56 million votes cast.
Conservatives stayed at home.
Hagel should try and get a clue. Appeasing law breakers is like feeding a crocodile in the hope that he eats you last. He should just go ask the French, and how the alien invaders and Islamic "youth" have kept trashing the country, despite France kowtowing to Islamic terrorists since the WOT begun.

He's wrong on illegal immigration but he's no RINO.

ACU rating:

Lifetime - 86%

2005 - 96%

2004 - 87%

The house gop was the lifesaver.

They cut 100,000 foreign visas bush and the dems wanted for high tech foreign workers to come here. Bill gates has been calling for that.

Gop house needed a strong leader to connect with the voters and deliver that message that they were the only thing stopping amnesty.

When Delay stepped down they needed to clean house.

You needed new strong conservative leaders. Mike pence, flake, shadeeg. They needed some new blood instead of hastert, boehner, and blunt.

[kuma]

Guess you just answered my question. XD

If this passes the GOP will take the blame with Bush signing it. Then we will have no chance of winning in '08. Something tells me they know this but don't care. Maybe it's cause the Bush crowd isn't running for re-election.
