Don't think so...I heard the same all morning.
You are correct; there's no stopping her now.
Are the two OK senators in opposition? I would think they would be. And Vitter is a Giuliani backer and may not be reliable, but I don’t think he would back amnesty. Forget ol’ Lott and Cochran, MS wants illegals in large numbers to work in that humid climate.
Really, the true Bush colors go back to Prescott Bush in the 1950s.
Amnesty Update: Setting the Numbers Straight
Since 1970, the population of the US has increased by 100 million; since 1990; by 53 million; and since 2000 by 20 million or the equivalent of our six largest cities. The Bureau of the Census projects that we will have 364 million by 2030 [that works out to 63 million more people in the next 23 years or the equivalent of the current population of the UK] and over 400 million by 2050 with one-quarter of the population being Hispanic. These numbers could be revised upwards if this bill passes.
The annual arrival of 1.5 million legal and illegal immigrants, coupled with 750,000 annual births to immigrant women, is the determinate factor of three-fourths of all U.S. population growth. These additional people will require infrastructure [roads, water, electricity, gasoline, etc.], and impact our schools, hospitals, social welfare systems, penal system, etc. Couple these increases with an aging US population faced with entitlement programs about to go belly-up in 10 years and you have some serious public policy issues that could threaten the future of this country.
Another suggestion, no matter what politicians you support, withhold donations or monetary support to anyone who is connected to this in any way!................No more money........
The pubbies in the house were the one thing stopping this freight train. Unfortunately, they lost in ‘06.
100 million has a way of growing exponentially, doesn’t it?
“If this is supposed to be for 10 to 12 million, I predict that the math will hold: 30 million plus illegal invaders will be handed the most precious franchise on earth, American citizenship.”
You’re forgetting about the possible provision for family members. One of the posters above has already put the number at over 100 MILLION with such a provision. If that provision is there, IT IS WORSE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.
DeMint is a big free trader. I don’t know his position on amnesty, but he is supposedly a lot better than his McCaniac colleague from SC.
We need to form a third party if this bill passes. The very future of the nation is at stake.
I’ve heard it could be as high as 70 million.
At this rate, Arnold will follow Hillary. Terrible.
Still of Giuliani, Romney, and McCain, we can rejoice that two of them will not be nominated for president. That’s the only good news thus far.
