(May 17) Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and other Senate negotiators announced an agreement with the Bush Administration on an amnesty/guestworker bill today. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has set a May 21 cloture vote to begin debate on the bill.

Although the legislative language is not available yet, key components of the "compromise" include:

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.

I’ve been trying to get into the States (legally of course) for years. No good deed(following US Law) goes unpunished I guess.

Compromise or complete, abject surrender?

I have had it, I just switched parties. I am tired of messing with them. This was a back-door deal with the Whitehouse.
Let them register all the new citizens Republican if they can!

I have already contacted the national GOP and the local GOP offices, letting them know my outrage at this.

Save your money. Ed Markey’s my bastard. His house is around the corner from mine. The railing on the front porch steps is broken. I think I’ll go by and fall tonight.

What a bunch of BS. Is this for all immigrants or just Mexican immigrants? If they are from Iran, Syria, etc. Why don’t we just open the dam borders and just say the hell with it? That’s what Congress wants anyway. OR.....just give our country to Mexico. At least that way, we know, and Mexico admits, that they are a crooked government. Our government says the opposite but acts just like Mexico.

Mr. Congressman, Mr. Senator and President Bush please in the future do not talk to me about love of country and being a patriot.

None of you seem to understand that we the people are tired of being treated as though we were citizens of another country.

This is the height of arrogance by liberals and RINO’s.

I am pissed and do not care who knows it.

This is nothing short of treason and should be treated as such.

One thing they may not realize is the Democratic Party will lose black votes over this. I guarantee ordinary black voters don’t won’t to be a smaller minority than they are now. They are THE most loyal Dem voters, and they are being screwed royally by their elitist “leaders.”

Yes, the surrender will soon be complete and we will have another 20 million or so socialists legally voting in our elections soon. It is a banner day for the democrats and Ted Kennedy. The Republican party will be emasculated soon with the castration performed by our President and the traitors of our own party. Are the Republicans insane, stupid or closet socialists?

*** Tell your Rep that the illegals are rushing the border NOW in anticipation of a "guest-worker" plan passing the Senate!


*** This Senate bill would allow 79 million to 217 million new immigrants in over the next 20 years!

*** Do NOT fall for the BIG LIE that Americans won't work basic-skill jobs!

*** Americans DID all these jobs before there were 15 million illegal aliens working for sub-minimum wage!
