Now I see immigrants every day. Many don't speak English at all. But they work hard and have traditional values.

Have you toured a jail or prison lately? Or a housing project or county hospital? Many of the immigrants aren't working at all or are working part time which is why in most of the border counties, $7000 income per year for a family is common.

Reagan was for amnesty too

Why does G-d permit an evil elite of New World Order multinational corporate traitors to own the entire news media, to own the entire "entertainment" industry and to control both major political parties?

Why does G-d not give power to the tens of millions of ordinary Americans who are indeed alarmed over the impending takeover of this great nation by the emerging non-white Third World majority?

Most Americans are against permitting our borders to be so flagrantly trampled upon by millions of Third World immigrants, both legal and illegal.

Why is G-d allowing the strongest, wealthiest and most successful nation in human history to slowly self-destruct?

"people who "snuck in" are filing with the goverment a $1000. fee for residency paperwork? Does that sound like someone hiding from the law?

What it sounds like is a govt extortion/protection racket. Let's see, 10 million or so illegals X a thousand dollars per......

The sad part is that this govt condones illegal immigration through it's actions, and it's inaction. This country will eventually pay for this with bloodshed.

If Robert Byrd kills this turkey through a filibuster... heck we'll give West Va. all the pork it needs. ;-)

Opening soon: The Robert Byrd Center for Melungeon Culture in Matewan.

Maybe the old coot is good for something after all besides taking my tax money.

Reagan was for amnesty too

So was I... that time. And we were promised deportation and border protection in return.

Shame on both of us for that blunder.

How sad but true. Both political parties are controlled by the traitor multinational globalist corporations who want to flood America with legal and illegal third world immigrants.

What did God think of Fox having the Cuban police take out those 21 Cubans asking Mexico for asylum? Fox isn't on God's side, what he wants is something else.

[gabby hayes]

At least, the "This is your second and last chance" message puts the rest of the world on notice. Prepare for the floodgates of illegal immigration to open as never before. I surely will never again abide by INS rules when it comes to members of my wife's family.

Dane, Would you say that about people who own guns, that "there are a few bad apples in every bunch" and we shouldn't paint all with a broad brush?? Somehow I bet you'd use the broad brush.

The interests of immigrants and the concerns of American business are obvious, so if one opposes this measure of the law, that millions are here illegally, the message it sends is that immigrants can come here, no laws will stop them.

How would you address the tax dollars spent to educate/medicate/jobs, let alone quality of life issues, to those of us who are not immigrants but taxpayers, workers and owners of real estate?

According to the Current Population Survey (CPS) conducted in March 2000 by the U.S. Census Bureau, there are 28.4 million immigrants living in the United States. This is the largest number of immigrants ever recorded in the nation’s history. It represents an increase of 43 percent just since 1990. Immigrants now account for 10.4 percent of all residents – the highest percentage in 70 years. Of greater concern, is the documented estimate that more than 1.2 million legal and illegal immigrants combined now settle in the United States each year.

<Prediction> In the Presidential election of 2004 a third party candidate will run under a platform of anti-illegal immigration, most likely choice will be Pat Buchanan. Thirty to fifty percent (conservative guess here) of both the Republican and Democratic party's voters will vote for this third party candidate (Might have been impossible pre 9-11, but talk to the people on the street now and see what kind of reaction you get). The end result, we will see our First(?) Third party President. The war on terrorism will not be paramount in voters minds because they will assume the next President will take up the gauntlet or face a massive outcry from the American People. This mid-term election cycle and the next will see a shakeup of people in both the House and Senate. Maybe not so much a shift in parties but a shift from a Yea voter on 245(I) to someone else.

</Prediction>

 

On another note, I will make it my crusade to see that the elected officials in my district, and any other district that I can, who voted Yea on 245(I) are not reelected. I will make sure to pass the word around about a candidates vote on this matter. The politicians may not think this little vote will come back to haunt them, but boy are they in for a rude awakening. America and Americans should always come before ANYONE else.

Voting No: McInnis, Rep. of Colorado.

I am glad to see my Congressman, YET AGAIN, has voted in a manner consistent with what is good for our country. Thanks for your post. I called his D.C. office yesterday, saying I was against this. I will e-mail my thanks to him.

"It is not right to let families be victimized by, if you will pardon the expression, bureaucratic indifference or incompetence," Armey said. "That is not right and we don't believe that is the way it should be."

And here we see the extent to which even Republicans will lie when it comes to illegal aliens.

First, there is nothing in this bill which improves the operations of the INS, which is a completely overworked, underfunded, and (as a result) broken organization. The bill simply dumps another 600,000 illegal aliens into the dysfunctional INS, thereby hurting each and every legal immigrant who is in the system legally and by extreme and tedious effort.

Second, families are "victimized" (to quote Armey) because one or more members of the "family" are in the United States illegally. This is literally saying that the families of criminals are "victimized" because our judicial system exercises "bureaucratic indifference" by exercising the law.

A gunshot is too quick. Stone them.

If all govt welfare and subsidies were eliminated, how many of these people do you think would come here? My guess is not too many. It is simply wrong to extort our hard-earned FRNs to pay someone for sitting on his a$$, black, white, or whatever. Money is the big attraction here. These folks have no idea what freedom or liberty is, it's simply not their culture. Bush is a fool to think that he will garner enough latino votes to make up for what he will lose from his traditional base. He is a one-term president.
