A police officer in Wisconsin was killed last night by an illegal with 5-6 SS #’s. The Senate and President Bush have sold us out, and they do not care about the citizens of the country. The country is overwhelmingly against amnesty, yet Kennedy, Lindsey ‘dimwit’ Graham and the President are not listening.

It may already be past the tipping point but this is definitely the end of the America that I know. A sad day it is.

“Although the legislative language is not available yet, these are the key components of the compromise:

* An immediate amnesty for nearly all 12-20 million illegal aliens who will get legal status for residence and jobs (with assurance of green cards no later than 13 years);

* Mandatory workplace verification and some extra enforcement to try to slow the flow of the next 12 million illegal aliens enticed by the amnesty;

* Tripling of the rate of chain migration of extended family from around 250,000 a year to around 750,000 a year for about a decade; and

* New flows of 400,000 temporary foreign workers each year, bringing their families and having anchor babies who will be given U.S. citizenship.”

We DO NOT enforce the current immigration laws...who’s going to enforce these?

Bush has finally revealed his true colors by conspiring with Ted Kennedy and the Mexican Government to ruin America.

In the process he signing the death warrant for the Republican Party.

One of the key negotiators, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., said he expects President Bush to endorse it.

Senator Edward M. Kennedy's immigration policy will do for America what it did for his brother Bobby.

SOME????

SO MUCH FOR BORDER SECURITY FIRST!!!

[phillyfanatic]

I am a member of this group and it is effective. Conserv-Liber. ought to unite and fax every Pub Senator they can to see if we can get 41 Pubs to stop amnesty. Mon. night is the vote. Bush has simply lost the election for us in ‘08. McCain is done. I want to see how Mitt, Rudy, Fred respond to this cave-in. To please illegals over and against legal immigrants and real citizens is simply insane. I cannot wait till Bush leaves the WH. Unfortunately, unless Pubs unite we will surely lose in ‘08 and Bush will be the reason.

Only two Republicans currently running for President, oppose this and any other “immigration bill,” i.e. Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo.

[skeeter]

Uncle Teddy sponsored the 65 immigration bill that got the whole ball rolling.

Apparently the fat bastard isn't yet done destroying the country.

[panthermom]

The deal came after weeks of painstaking closed-door negotiations that brought the most liberal Democrats and the most conservative Republicans together with Bush's Cabinet officers to produce a highly complex measure that carries heavy political consequences.

Yeah right. Painstaking backdoor negotiations=sipping Martini's and laughing at us sheeple is more like it.

Does anyone have info on which ones voted yes?

We are back to Rome in the 4th century with barbarians streaming across the borders unchecked. If you are under 30 you will live to see America on par with Brazil.

I heard Rush today that the GOP is toast in 2008. I think we are all toast as well. More illegals are coming to take over our jobs.

What about the folks still being processed from 20 years ago?

Thanks for posting that info.

[Kimberly GG]

AND....

WHO’S going to DEPORT all of the MILLIONS of illegal aliens who are NOT working and don’t qualify for a work visa???

[Diogenesis]

This is very sad.

What is the impact? Americans were the LAST to find out what was actually planned.
