“Sellout.” It may be harsh, but it’s the most accurate and succinct way to sum up how conservatives feel right now about President Bush and Senate Republicans, who have cut a deal that would grant amnesty to the estimated 12 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. — not to mention the parents, spouses, and children of these illegals.
Title VI of a draft copy of the bill breaks down amnesty visas into three categories:
Z-1 — Illegal aliens present and working in the United States up to Jan. 1, 2007. Z-2 — Parents and spouses of illegal aliens qualifying under the Z-1 category. Z-3 — Children of illegal aliens qualifying under the Z-1 category.
These “Z Visa” holders can stay in the “Z” status indefinitely, which means they never have to pursue “a pathway to citizenship.” They also would be able to get Social Security numbers and benefit from some welfare programs. Shockingly, there is no cap on the numbers of amnesty recipients in the draft language. The only thing the Z Visa holder can’t do is vote — until, that is, a liberal judge declares this limitation unconstitutional or until a liberal president can railroad through a “technical corrections” bill.

I agree that speaking out is important. Thanks for reminding me that I can still put a stamp on an envelope. I’ll do it.
There is also the theory that we need to keep up with China and the rest of the world for population and military. So we look the other way and allow illegals to come in...Lord knows the conditions in the U.S. military far outweigh those of others in the 3rd world.
That is EACTLY right. Past performance IS the best predictor of future behavior. Our "leaders" certainly have plans for us -- but these plans can't be disclosed until after they have been implemented, for obvious reasons.
The Southern Marxist agitators from Mexico...
I note from yur tagline that your son is a vet. Thank him for keeping my family safe. He is in our prayers and thoghts.
That’s what I’m thinking! I pray for our troops and today they have to learn about this?
I do know the Enemy wants us discouraged and feeling like it’s hopeless, but like my tag line says...
Amen.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Dear Republicans:
No more amnesty for YOU!
LOL!
Oh, but could they deport the Repubelican leadership...
Great idea, but where do you suggest we send them?
Club Gitmo?

I have conservative friends, I have moderate friends, and I have (a few) liberal friends. I have yet to hear a single one who agrees with Jorge Arbusto’s plan. Something like 75% of Americans in surverys are against Shamnesty. And yet he and congress continue to push on.
“This “Sellout” has the effect of electing a liberal democrat for sure in ‘08!”
The longterm consequences to our nation will be far worse than a lost election.
Six hundred years ago in medieval Europe, most people lived and died as slaves (sometimes called serfs) bound to the land they worked and bound to the feudal lords who ruled them.
The serfs had no rights. Their masters could seize anything they owned and even put them in prison if they didn’t pay whatever was demanded.
How much did these oppressed Medieval serfs actually pay in taxes? The answer is about 25 percent of what they earned. Historians believe that the typical serf had to “pay” 25 percent of his produce, usually from agricultural efforts, to his feudal lord. What remained was his bounty.
Hey, Senator Hagel: how about a Waterboarding Weekend?
I read your piece early this morning and found it so moving- I didn’t post at the time- but thank you for writing it!
I will pass on your thanks:)
This isn’t the best night for we Republicans, isn it?
I’m still trying to grasp what’s happening...it feels like we’re in a Lewis Carroll book...
The kids they have here will be citizens (same as it is now).
