Live Thread: Senate Amnesty Debate (CRITICAL 2ND CLOTURE VOTE TODAY!) Woo hoo!! It's DEAD!!
The U.S. Senate with Free Republic Input | June 28, 2007 | truthkeeper

Posted on 06/28/2007 6:25:57 AM PDT by truthkeeper

Here we are again my friends, hopefully for the last debate thread on this particular monstrous legislation. Proceedings are supposed to begin at 9:30 a.m. EST, with the cloture vote being taken at 10:30 a.m.

On a personal note, you've all been wonderful in your passion, vigilance, and commitment to the principles on which our country was founded. If I have to be in a foxhole, I want to be in it with you guys.

They are was passed the 40 necessary to kill it. The President, Rove, and the pro-amenesty crowd have been defeated.

First order of business IMHO: We need to use the same amount of pressure to get Martinez to step down as head of RNC after this vote. We need to dry up RNC funding!

re: Unfortunately the black commuity doesnt understand the difference because they think its about FULL CIVIL RIGHTS FOR IMMIGRANTS

See, where they had problems with civil rights would be their home countries, since they’re not citizens nor immigrants of this one...

Moving on the the black equivalence. That’s BS.

Those are the ones who haven’t used their brains since the Civil Rights Bill... and vote dem. How the hell can you be black and believe that? Who do they think will get less jobs or goodies because of the bill? What? They haven’t thought that far? Oh well. It will be a hard fall... they’ve been replaced and can’t see it.

Snatching someone from Africa (where they couldn’t just walk back across a border... or risk hanging or shooting), to someone who sneaks in is ridiculous. I told Sharpton and McKinney that in their face at Union Sq. March NYC... they called it the ‘new civil rights issue’; They need to tell black folks to get off their *sses and work, tell the so called boys to become men and use the head up top, girls to close their legs, tell the parents to parent, fight for taking full advantage of education to build themselves and the black community... instead of pimping for dollars and picking on Imus... they’re useless, worse than useless.

Screw that, the million marchers should be in Mexico or wherever their country doesn’t take care of them... that’s where the change should be. Shoot, i’m sure millions have all kinds of skills to go take back their countries and change them.

And if I hear one more time, it’s the Christian thing to do... someone will get feelings hurt. Even Christ paid a coin for the tax, and said give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, he hung out in his country and didn’t cross borders (even though he had no where to rest his head). I don’t see any widows and orphans wandering across the border either. What’s Christian, is telling them to right the wrong, make amends for what you’ve done... not to condone it. As I told my priest who saw fit to place a full pager in the bulletin to go to DC for ‘immigrant’ rights, “You know folks that have been here illegal for thirty years (yep, ignored the last amnesty as well), you hear their confessions, you give them communion (in the end, them and the Lord), how can you absolve with NO purpose of amendment? I mean, two years he may not have the money (not to say all are stealing through receiving services they should not have or others who do things the right way may have to do without... as well as poor citizens), but five years?, ten? How about taking money from the taxpayers when you have no right? Taking someone’s identity? How about the pain that causes others? And separation of families? Whose fault is that? Does the church teach to leave your family to do something better yet illegal, or bring your family here and live illegal, when you know any moment you could be sent away? I’m not having it, the ends don’t justify the means. We live in a society that teaches no responsibility and crime pays. So what if business and the gov’t enabled them for years... and? It’s still against the law and one thing leads to another.
And my priest wanted to go on a bus with Muslims and Socialists to DC and looked at me as if I had two heads.

The kicker: We have an immigration center that helps with paperwork, teaches skills (while babysitting free), as well as a pantry and clothing. It’s been there since Israelis came over way back, through the wars up to the Vietnamese (we have many), when they arrived... up till today. So no one has any excuse in my parish.
