Just like they did with Obamacare, some in Congress intend to “Pelosi” the amnesty bill. They’ll pass it in order to find out what’s in it. And just like the unpopular, unaffordable Obamacare disaster, this pandering, rewarding-the-rule-breakers, still-no-border-security, special-interests-ridden, 24-lb disaster of a bill is not supported by informed Americans.
I am an ardent supporter of legal immigration. I’m proud that our country is so desirable that it has been a melting pot making a diverse people united as the most exceptional nation on earth for over two centuries. But I join every American with an ounce of common sense insisting that any discussion about immigration must center on a secure border. The amnesty bill before the Senate is completely toothless on border security.
It's beyond disingenuous for anyone to claim that a vote for this bill is a vote for security. Look no further than the fact that Senator Rubio and amnesty supporters nixed Senator Thune’s amendment that required the feds to finally build part of a needed security fence before moving forward on the status of illegal immigrants who’ve already broken the law to be here. And if shooting down the border fence wasn't proof enough, they blew another chance by killing Senator Paul’s “Trust But Verify” amendment which required the completion of a fence in five years and required Congress to vote on whether the border is actually secure before furthering any immigration measures. And then they blew it yet again, nixing Senator Cornyn’s “Results” amendment, which also required border enforcement standards. Now the Senate’s pro-amnesty crowd is offering a fig leaf to security via the Corker-Hoeven Amendment, but this is really nothing more than empty promises. It’s amnesty right now and border security… eh, well, someday.

Spot on, once again!!
I'm with Sarah...I prefer the Fundamental RESTORATION of America!
This gorgeous woman who can hunt her own food in the Alaskan wilderness, who talks a little funny, and has down home values practically unknown to the power elite, has more brains than most of the congress people in Washington put together.
How I wish I could vote for her!
Stop Amnesty.
Tell congressmen we don’t want ANY bill passed, no matter what they promise. This bill is Amnesty for 30 million illegals, and a 1000 page bill that brings in 80 million 3rd world immigrants. The bill will destroy the U.S. and will turn the USA into a socialist state as is the democrats/Obama’s plan.

Please sign their petition to require the Speaker to honor the ‘Hastert Rule’! If the Senate passes an amnesty for illegal aliens, it will be important that the House refuses to pass any immigration legislation in 2013! Stop the amnesty legislation!”

I read the entire story to my hubby.
He said, Sarah, run for the presidency!
Thank you for posting. We have to stop this transformation.
Here's info from a NumbersUSA email I received earlier this evening...
A cloture vote on the Corker-Hoeven amendment will be held on Monday at 5:30. (As a reminder, 60 votes are required to invoke cloture and move to a final vote on the amendment).
Same here! If Sarah does agree to run, we'll have to all do way more than just vote. We "little people" are going to need to dig deep in both donations and time to help her. The "fat cats" aren't going to be much help, I'm afraid.
And another fyi ping.........
Yep! It was a great article that pretty much laid out the complete joke of the bill and tells it plainly what MUST be done! Most politicians babble forever with their many words to get a point across. Sarah pretty much nails it in a few short paragraphs
Excellent facts. I mean shocking, but they should be known by everything. I’d like a list that didn’t have lightning in it but I could retype it.
I called all of Cornyn’s office on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. On all three days I was auto switched to his mailbox to leave a message after listening to his “we want to hear from you message”. On all three days all the mailboxes were full.
Tried to send a fax on all three days - fax number does not answer!
If I called him what I want to I would be banned from FR.
Prayers up for you and yours and may God look favorably upon you.
It’s going to be more difficult to make the case that Governor Palin supports amnesty after this scathing article.
I’m sure that someone will find a way.
And if that fails, they can alway complain about her voice.
Sarah Palin comes out with the truth and stand up for America while Lindsey Graham and others betray it.
Didn’t I see “Republican” Governor Jan Brewer use the fake security amendment of Corker and Hoeven as a reason to like this bill when she appeared on Fox News in the 1pm eastern hour on Sunday?
Our government is awash in one scandal after another involving blatant lies and violations of our basic liberties, and the leader of the pack ventures out on one road trip after another to avoid accountability.ZING!-ZOW!-POW!
They’ll say that they won’t trust her until she personally goes down there and guard the borders herself or something like that
