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.

He voted for it, before he voted against it.

Cornyn, for the love of James Earl Jones, mention the terrorists that come across and who overstayed their visas.

Let them know that since 9-11 nothing has been done and our troops are giving all while the hill opens the door to terrorists.

Good grief. The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.

FIRST...kill this vote (check)

NEXT...work on that wall!

And in the meantimes, the hordes are NOT "legalized." HUGE victory.

“He voted for it, before he voted against it.’

Is there proof of this?

No-I think it is up to us to push for border enforcement. What you refuse to acknowledge is that if this bill had gone through, they would not have enforced the border anyway. You would have 12 to 20 million permanent non-citizens demanding their rights and million pouring over the border in hopes of another amnesty down the road.

..the marches where staged by the Dems. The borders are still wide open so their families can sneak in. What’s to be upset about? They have all kinds of time now.

Chertoff drew the short straw.

He’s on CNN whining and complaining that the bill had tools they needed, money ($4.4 billion) they needed, etc.

Guess what..the fence only has a down payment on it..the rest is not funded yet...Surprise!

It remains to be seen whether even the "down payment" will be turned into actual fence. Somehow, I doubt it. Let's be clear, the "Secure Fence Act" was an election-season ploy to smooth the ruffled feathers of the Republican base. The comments from *Mexico* were highly critical, even including threats to go crying to the U.N. In response, the Mexican officials were told (in essence): "Don't worry about the fence - we expect to have an immigration accord in place soon."

The President and his allies in this cause never intended to build that fence. So, now we have no border fence and no amnesty. That's better than no border fence WITH amnesty.

GIULIANI....NO WAY!

If he wins. Hunter Thompson is the only candidate I've contributed to. Thompson and Guilianni right now look like the big dogs in the fight. If it is Guilianni I'd love to see a conservative VP.

All wonderful ideas too. I guess now we need to clarify whether D.C. OR the local office will accept ANY of those items. (I'm sure the red, white, and blue thank-you notes will not pose a problem!) :-)
