Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, are believed to be on the cusp of introducing a new bill in the Senate on Comprehensive immigration reform.

The Schumer/Graham initiative combines enforcement with earned legal status for immigrants who are out of status or came in illegally.

Washington sources say they are ready to introduce the bill "any day now."

What does Graham get out of these deals? If we knew that, we’d know a lot—

[mono]

No recall in Constitution for Senators. He won a six year term in 2008. Learn to love him. sarcasm.

[lowbridge]

No defeatism allowed.

[Blood of Tyrants]

He is a progressive. He knows that the people don’t want amnesty any more than they wanted Obamacare and he just doesn’t care. He actually thinks that he is being a “compassionate conservative” by giving people who broke into the country citizenship.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Hopefully this bill can be bottled up in a committee that Grahamnesty is not on.

[jtill]

They can’t be recalled, but I think they can be impeached. It has only happened once that I’m aware of - and that was around 1800 - but I do believe that they can be impeached.

Of course with the idiots we have in there now, it would be a fruitless attempt.

Amnesty: The Line in the Sand

Agree or disagree?

[screaminsunshine]

Obviously he knows this is his last term in office. I guess he wants to do as much damage as possible.

What does Graham get out of these deals?

Other than having been "in" on "a piece of major legislation," I haven't a clue. Unless, maybe, he figures by bringing a RINO attitude to it, it won't be as radical.

Hustle while you can, scuzball POS. Your day is coming and we got your number big time.

[Mamzelle]

You should study up on Graham on opensecrets.org. He's not rich, his net worth is less than a couple million. He doesn't have kids. He could be rich if he wanted to be, like most Senators. He's got less than $3 million in his war chest.

His donors are mostly trial lawyers. And energy companies donate to him--they want the carbon tax, although that doesn't make too much sense to me. Why do they want their customers hit with an energy tax? How does that help the energy companies?

One thing is clear--he does not care a whit about pleasing his constituents in South Carolina.

My question to the people of the Palmetto State...will somebody rid us of this meddlesome RAT wannbe?

[Cheerio]

I suppose there is no way to stop this, now the RATS have their 60 votes.

[GailA]

My neighbor lost her job to an illegal. She is not a happy camper, she has 2 young daughters to take care of. Her whole family are hard working people.

[GailA]

Along with food stamps, rent subsidies, college scholarships, and 3 times that many relatives rushing here to join them.

[Publius]

No, not impeached. Expelled — by a vote of two-thirds of the House of which that person is a member.

[Candor7]

public= pubic.

As in pubic relations, pubic prosecutor, Free Repubic.

[HiJinx]

Ping!

[stephenjohnbanker]

Double it.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Schumer reminds me of the psychiatrist in the Terminator movies.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

I suppose there is no way to stop this, now the RATS have their 60 votes.

I hope they actually fear losing their reelections in the senate. They could just pass amnesty and then retire in their gated communities, with their congressional pension, ill-gotten loot, and partnerships as a reward for their treachery.
