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.

No one has brought up two key issues in this debate:

1. The effect on State and local governments and their budgets for health care, schooling, food stamps, social services, etc. for the illegal aliens granted amnesty.

2. No one has mentioned the current condition of the underground economy in this country. As an example, the State of California in a recent study estimates its underground economy at between $40 and $160 billion per year.

Conclusion: The States will take the lead in toughening our immigration laws, as many of them are doing now, regardless of the outcome of the Senate shamnesty bill.

After decades of getting ignored the silent majority finally found a voice Senator Spector. They now use the very new media that you disparage to articulate their opinion.

Arlen is LYING LYING LYING. The 1986 legislation failed because the govt wouldn’t enforce it, and the same thing will happen if this monstrosity of a bill is passed.

Has anyone noted that on those automatic calls that the operator says “if you speak English, press 2”.

Now why is English ‘2’ in this country? What is ‘1’?

Cochran — YES! Thanks for the info.

I have my TV on mute because of Specter. No wonder Bush worked so hard to get him reelected — he supports amnesty.

Amen sister. First of all they’re illegal aliens, not immigrants. We have to get medieval on the traitors to our country.

Don’t get me started on Mel “against it, yet took it down off my website when I made it” Martinez; Good thing we cached it. Face it, blood is thicker than water on this issue.

Never forget who made sure Arlen Dumpster won the primaries against a reliable conservative. It was those other RINOs - Jorge Bush and Karl Rove.
