When Reagan approved the amnesty of 3 million illegals in the 80s (a huge mistake!!), it was part of a two-part deal he made with Congress. The first part was amnesty for those already here. The second part was that the Congress would allocate the funds necessary to build a fence/wall/force field along the border to prevent any further illegal invasion.

He kept his part of the bargain.

Congress DIDN'T keep theirs.

What a surprise.

The message is that when it comes to Congress agreeing to do ANYTHING about immigration, we can count on them to lie about what they plan to do and/or not follow through on anything they said that they would.

After all, in THEIR pinheaded brains, THEY own us, WE don't own the government.

So, how many pink slips are we sending this year?

(And DON'T go squishy at the last minute, and decide that YOUR Congresscritters are ok, it's everyone ELSE'S Congresscritter!! If they aren't part of the solution (and, NONE of them are), then they are part of the problem (and, ALL of them are!!).

Remember that it was that POS Ted Kennedy that pushed through BOTH the 1965 AND 1986(I think) “Immigration” fiascoes.

"when it comes to Congress agreeing to do ANYTHING about immigration"

FOLLOW THE MONEY!

So long as donations to campaigns keep pouring in from businesses that DEPEND on cheap illegal labor, there will be NO action to stop it. Paying low wages, and then having the taxpayers funding the medical care, child care, food, housing, education, etc. is what attracts illegals into this country. The second major attractant is the bullshit erroneous Activist interpretation that a foreigner's baby born on U.S. soil is SOMEHOW an automatic U.S. Citizen....it doesn't even pass the smell test.

Using the code word "comprehensive" with immigration reform means AMNESTY for all the illegal squatters who are here, to get 20 million Democrat votes for even MORE handouts.
