Posted on 06/07/2007 6:01:39 PM PDT by freespirited

Tonight's cloture motion has just gone down to defeat. No where near the 60 yea votes needed to cut off debate.

Harry now pontificating on Senate floor.

I dont think there will ever be anything on KCNA, and they would not even move that fast. As for Japanese TV/Radio (NHK, etc), it is not really a big issue, and would probably be picked up in a few hours, at least for a minor story in the evening news. Japan has a lot of bigger fish to fry right now over and above our migracion problema.

True...but we never imagined that he’d throw open the doors to the store and say, “Take whatever you want!”

This is all about the hiring of cheap labor.

All the other crap about the poor and downtrodden of Mexico just deserving a better life is a pant load.

They sure don't want the poor and downtrodden of our own citizens to make a living wage.

American citzen/workers are just expensive overhead who deserve to be thrown under the bus so cheap illegals can be hired at lower wages.

Big donors support the continuing flood of cheap labor. They don't want the feds raiding their establishments and sending their cheap help back to Mexico.

Big donors are paying the Senators to open the flood gates to all illegals. It's unvarnished corruption...a massive payoff. Campaign money is being exchanged for Senate votes.

I have pondered these questions.

Why is it in the national interest to bring in 40 to 50 million people....an entire welfare country?

Why do our elected officials promote moving buisness out of the US into foreign countries, loosing jobs for Americans?

Why do we have a trade policy which unilaterally helps a foreign country at the expense of Americans? Why does the USA spend billions in foreign aid but send jobs out of the country? I am all for American buisnesses making all the money they can, but not at the expense of savaging our infrastructure. American Legislators should look after the interest of the USA.

Why is it not in the interest of the USA to allow only people, not organizations, to donate money to political aspirants?

“Can you imagine if that’s what we had coming at us at the rate of 7 to 10 thousand per day over the border? Half the country would be down there building a wall, well armed”

And the dumb blonde jokes would skyrocket!!!!

Interesting question. Although I live in the N.E. I can’t say I know much about the “local” politics in PA.

Repeal the 17th! It should have never been passed in the first place. Maybe we can get our States Rights back...

“size and scope of illegal immigration.”

THE SIZE AND SCOPE OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION is because the enforcement promises made in the 1986 amnesty were NEVER DONE.

Hence we have a bigger problem now.

The first thing you do is build the fence and close the borders.

Then you work on a plan for those already here.

I don’t have any obligation to take in 200 million socialists into my country to ruin the last hope of freedom on earth. Ditto.

I want to see the roll call....elephants have long memories.

I think you are probably right. IT is all about money and power. That does rationally explain the behavior of elected officials who don’t give a damn about this country and only care about their own next election. This is a sad state of affairs.

Thank you, NCLA.
