GOP Sellout- A senseless giveaway on immigration.
National Review Online ^ | 05/17/07 | Brian Darling

Posted on 05/17/2007 2:41:56 PM PDT by SE Mom

“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.

>We need to start a third party.<

Well, the GOP has disenfranchised the conservative base, so if we want to make a difference, we must do just that.
I see no alternative.

I can see the wheels coming off Bush supporters over amnesty. This is a train wreck for Republicans.

We had the RNC call us last night—my husband told them off.

“He won’t have to see his kids go to overcrowded, rotten schools.”

I just wonder if Bush’sLegacies will get health care free when I can’t get a policy at all?

I feel like crying. They are going change this country to a point that it will be beyond repair—it’s almost to that point now. I don’t guess I’ll ever leave the country, but today I started wondering what Australia is like.

>What did Bush get back as a thanks? No help in Iraq and very little on the war on terror.<

Who would do business with a creature who sold his country down the tube? No help? In fact, thousands of Communist Chinese and Muslims flowed easily through Mexico and across our border. Fox enabled this.

OK..........so with 12 million illegals, two parents and probably 4 children, that comes to....ummmmmm.....about 96 million. Then add in the grandparents, brothers, sisters. Are these people nuts? Someone needs to really poll the people of this country and give them all these facts.

NOTHING POLITICAL will ever again matter to me if this passes.

It'll be every man for himself as far as I'm concerned, because we will have given away the keys to the kingdom.

Because of the debates I was forgetting somewhat about what a rotten bastard John McCain is—I hope his numbers go down to less than 1%.

I really am anxious to sign a comprehensive immigration bill as soon as I possibly can.

I'll just bet the sorry SOB is anxious to sign it. This is what he's wanted since the day he took office. It works with his vision of the "Americas." I hope someone starts impeachment papers against him. I'd darn sure sign it. He has betrayed his oath of office and he has betrayed the American people.

I’m in the same sinking boat as you with those libtards as my representation. I fax, call, yell, and email them anyway along with other (R) who are not my reps.

Hugh Hewitt said for his callers to limit their rants to 1 minute and no profanity. People are calling up and they are MAD!

" After we’re done calling, then we unite to empty the Congress of all these self-serving, power-grabbing schmucks."

You won't have to do much. They will lose so many voters and donors, that will automatically happen next year.

You see, if this bill becomes law, any donations to the RNC will go down a rat hole, because they will lose big the next election as a result.

The way to get your point accross is to cut of the cash....
If everyone did that, maybe, just maybe, they would get the point..

President Bush just doesn’t care. He will never be affected by what he is doing. He won’t be affected by the increased crime. He won’t have to see his kids go to overcrowded, rotten schools.

I know. I actually knew or at least had my suspicions back in 1999 during one of the Presidential debates when George W. Bush answered "Christ" instead of "Jesus Christ", but regrettably, I chose to wear blinders. Now it's too late.
