This is the homestretch.
Call and e-mail your senators today, Republicans and Democrats, urging them not to table debate on this critical piece of legislation.
It deserves a fair and open debate of all ramifications. To do otherwise is unamerican.
Ask them to vote "NO" on cloture.
Keep bumping this to the top.
Today is the day.
I know what you mean about our southern border in CA. Trip mines of HE in the 2/3 of the length toward to the US would collapse them. Cement is to be used to build things and isn't cheap. HE is, if you know what to do.
Ba da pong, ba da ping!!
Yes normally a Green Card is instant..When I came here I got a Green Card after 90 days...it was mailed to me in 60 days and I was told I could go ahead and work...
since theres only a 90 day waiting period usually...theres a class action suit waiting to be filed...there would be no 8 year wait...
with a green card I had all the rights of citizenship that Americans have but I could not vote and I could not work at a Govt job (like the Post Office or congressional offices, etc) and I could not get instate tuition or freebie college...
However I could be drafted, if I was a guy, I did go into the military where I had a Secret clearance. I became an American citizen while I was in the military...
With a Green card its just a matter of time until the person is eligible to be an American..
It was five years from the day the person arrived here or three years if he or she was in the US military
You see the problems instantaneous AMNESTY/Legality would have caused..
And what was suppose to happen to illegal aliens who did not pass a background check etc? there was no provision to deport them...
All of Teddy’s many crocidile tears could not clean up that stinky Bill...
We had some great orators on our side this time around and I applaud them! When Teddy started tanting and raving incoherently, I had a feeling the bill was dead and he knew it..I was "afraid" he was going to have a heart attack...
Maybe filling the tunnel w/cement was staged. That’s a more plausible scenario at this point in time.
That's what we should all do tomorrow. Thank people for what they did. That's class. And they would appreciate it.
Of course it was staged. You destroy tunnels by making their roof cave in. That didn't happen.
Yours is still a kickass story that bears repeating.
It was big among some FR circles, at least. Damned inspiring - serving in the military prior to citizenship.
Tomorrow we ride with attenuated rancor with this temporal victory.
I think the people waiting in line have other issues. And the ones not waiting in line have worse issues. And the ones that have wore issues aren't getting their way tonight.
That's great. I did the same thing a couple weeks ago.
Did you all know that in researching this bill I found out that illegal aliens will get all kinds of financial breaks, help, and in some cases full tuition and costs paid by you and ME?!!
I think we already allow illegal aliens to pay the reduced 'in-state' tuition rate, while American citizens from other states have to pay the much higher out of state tuition... This is positively nuts...
Yes, the footage showed a hose from a cement mixer shooting cement into a tunnel. Fox News workin’ for the man. It had to be Fox. Freepers just can’t be fooled. I hope someone sends this post to Ann Coulter. She said recently that Fox was the admin’s PR wing.
Sounds like the list of part time and summer jobs myself and my friends held during junior high school, high school, and college.
Add to that list dishwasher, construction laborer, movie usher, janitor, brick factory laborer, house painter, lawn mower, snow shoveler, window washer, pool cleaner, and residential landscaper.
You know, all the "jobs Americans won't do."
Cry me a river Mel. As far as I can do these arrogant peasants are just stealing jobs from American kids.
FOXNews should be persuaded a tunnel being blown up would attract more audience. And more ads.
One fine little document is (yet again) from Senator Jeff Sessions, 20 Loopholes in the Senate Immigration Bill.
Some sections are a bit dense so you may want to edit those.
And there's no mention of the extensive medical, psychological, criminal, and financial checks that legal immigrants must obtain at their own expense, but that illegal aliens do not have to have at all (legal immigrants must also get and pay for a variety of immunization shots).
By the way, did you know that tuberculosis (TB) - once nearly eradicated from the American landscape - is now on the rise in every state having a large illegal alien population? Well, you might know soon.
‘Tis done!
Hat’s off to Jim Robinson. FreeRepublic is THE force to be reckoned with!
I couldn't agree with you more. They are not to be trusted. In whispers, under the cover of darkness these traitors will try to sneak it through. They haven't given up.
I believe we should not get all giddy about this, because, believe me, these amnesty lovers will be back, probably sooner than later, with a new attempt to pass an amnesty immigration bill. I will sleep with one eye open.
