The Senate on Wednesday killed a Republican proposal to require all adult illegal immigrants to return home

Doesn't current law require the deportation of anyone found to be in the United States illegally? So, the Senate killed a proposal that simply restated (actually, in more lenient terms) the current law.

Oh, well. That's a shame.

I really don't think that these fools understand what they're doing. I don't believe that this P.O.S. bill is going to get through the House, but something REALLY needs to be done about the worms that are infesting the Senate.

“Doesn’t current law require the deportation of anyone found to be in the United States illegally?”

Yeah but it’s not enforced. In any event, this would do away with that requirement altogether.

You know, the current law, had it been enforced, is theoretically just fine. It’s the lack of enforcement that has led to the coming amnesty. And let’s face it, the Senate today, as you point out, won’t stand behind the law as it exists TODAY! Amazing.
