Let me give you some food for thought.

First off,all we hear from Republicans is that the 1986 amnesty was a failure and didn’t work. Well, duh!

So that has been 20 years and nothing has been done. Not even a study to find out why amnesty didn’t work. Why haven’t the worker penalties been applied to the lawbreakers? Is or has the Justice Department been diligent in upholding our laws. What other departments have been neglectful in enforcing work place rules. Has this amnesty led to widespread forgery? What government departments are negligence? Has this amnesty led to smuggling of humans and drugs? What government department is responsible for this travesty?

We need to hit the downside of the Reagan amnesty just like the 9/11 commission. We should not consider any kind of immigration bill until a lot of questions have been answered.

Yes, and this absolutely involves motivating the sheeple as there is definite strength in numbers. A tough task, but not impossible.

I'm thinking commercials. Tough to-the-point message, simple concept, great visual, "catchy" phrase. I think I'm the only person who didn't like the "Where's the Fence?" commercial because it was too soft and "cute." It should be hard-hitting, even devastating, like George I's "revolving door" against Michael Dukakis. Or LBJ's flower girl.

Thanks for responding. Let's all just keep talking, and watch for a thread soon.

Because the sepcial interests dont want it to happen.
My eyes were opened by a story about how Chuck Hagel first became an open borders nut. He stopped enforcement of ICE/ INS in meatpacking plants in the late 1990s, going after the bureaucrats.

“Is or has the Justice Department been diligent in upholding our laws.”

NO.
“ What other departments have been neglectful in enforcing work place rules.”
Most of them. Deportations are impossible because in the Clinton era, the immigration lawyers took over and created hidden amnesties galore...

Has this amnesty led to widespread forgery?”

YES.

“What government departments are negligence?”

Blame Ted Kennedy who wrote 1986 and other provision to actually PREVENT employers from properly checking and PREVENT the ability to check immigration status (it’s ‘discrimination’ ya know).

” Has this amnesty led to smuggling of humans and drugs?”

YES.

What government department is responsible for this travesty?”

ALL OF THEM.
More details on Michelle Malkin, Lonwacko, or FR.

All that makes very good sense. Keep going.
