Right, it’s our President and the Congress that won’t act. If, they won’t act; then it is up to us to make them act to do the right thing. I am sick of their little games that stop everything but what they want to do and that is graft.

The only thing that sucks more than this immigration bill is a hooker on Saturday night when the fleets in town.

These people are just deluded.

“Immigration bill’s demise not a reason to cheer Our view: Senate’s failure to act will not make our borders any safer, or make the 12 million illegal residents go away.”

The Senate has acted. It put a bill on the Presidents desk which said fence the border and the President signed it. It put a bill on the Presidents desk asking for 18000 more border guards and the President signed it.

It wasn’t the Senates failure to act. It was the Senates inability to do anything that would benefit the country instead of their own agendas.

I am so tired of this incomprehensible discrimination and bigotry, even criminals like prostitutes, bank robbers and check forgers contribute to the economy too. They just want to feed their families.

“If that doesn’t work they will try again. I am old enough to remember when Teddy Kennedy...”

It’s time we cut off the head of this poisonus viper, and TARGET Kennedy for GONE in the next election.

It’s tough, but we can do it, if we join together and focus.

"Conservative activists," Kyl said, have "a very firm view that the government is unable to get anything right."

A wise and prudent view of government, in my opinion.

Good list. Here is my list ....

“so what are you for?” asked Senator Kennedy.

We do need an answer that says here is what we are for. We need an answer that unites most Americans.

This is our immigration and illegal immigration program for the next 18 months:
Enforcement first. Legal immigration law changes later. Amnesty never.

Executive branch:
1. Build the border fence ASAP and secure the border, reduce border crossings by 90%
2. Deport criminal aliens aggressively, and significantly reduce 600,000 deportation order backlog
3. Get US visit program really implemented to track entries, exits and visa overstays

Legislation needed now:
4. Implement and establish employee verification program to enforce immigration law in the workplace
5. Eliminate sanctuary cities (i.e., the Coleman amendment)
6. Funding to implement items 1,2, and 3.

Later:
7. Replace ‘chain migration’ with a more employment-focussed and merit-based immigration
system, where we select the best from around the world.
8. End anchor babies.
9. Temporary worker program that is limited.

I think the message the people wanted to send to Senator Kyl was EARN our trust , build the wall, secure the border, then we will listen to plans for the illegals already here. I say that with respect for Senator Kyl who is a good man. There is no sense sending a message to Kennedy, he is a buffoon living on respect for dead relatives.

In the 12 days that ended on Wednesday, 11 bodies were found in the desert between the Mexican border and Tucson.

How many more will die before Congress musters the courage to act on an immigration bill that includes a humane process for regulating the flow of foreign workers into the United States?

How long before the Arizona Daily Star hands out free papers in Mexico telling them not to attempt to enter the US as it's against the law and it's deadly dangerous?

Yeah, I know, we will all be dead before that happens.

That’s a good list. I would strike #9 if it were up to me, but if we get all the other items, I could live with it.

I didn’t realize — read it from Mark Steyn, a legal immigrant — that the bill forced all the legal immigrants to the back of the line while the illegal ones were being absorbed. I hadn’t heard that, and I’m not gonna argue with Steyn, arguably the best columnist in America in our day.

Isn’t that odd? He was pointing out that the legals were getting punished and the illegals were getting rewarded.

I would not trust a 400+ page bill in Congress if it were authored by Billy Graham and co-signed by the Pope.

Way too many words.

Some “expert” on “Meet The Press” today said, with the bill’s failure, it will be impossible for Republicans to ever win Florida in the presidential race and, without Florida, “no arithmatic exists that lets them win the White House.”

So the political will of one state controls the whole country?...geez just one load after another...will it ever stop??

Narrow-mindedness won the day. Anyone who sees this as a victory for America is living in a fantasyland.

Naturally the Arizona Daily Star and every other liberal Democrat toilet paper of the same ilk are bemoaning the defeat of the abominable immigration bill - - their dream of millions more taxpayer-sucking Democrat parasites being legalized just went down the drain. Boo hoo.
