[Enemy Of The State]

Bush is pushing Congress to pass a Section 245(i) extension before he goes to Mexico on March 22. Section 245(i) is rolling amnesty. Mexico is demanding amnesty as part of its goal of occupation and conquest of parts of America.

 

WHAT IS Section 245(i)?
Section 245(i) would restore a provision allowing illegal aliens to pay the INS $1000 and remain in the country, subject to only a cursory U.S. police record check, before receiving green cards. If Section 245(i) is not revived, these illegal aliens will instead be required to return to their country of origin where their application for an immigration visa would be subject to a far more vigorous home country background investigation. The legal procedure for entering the U.S. involves a background check performed in the country of origin to ensure that the immigrant or visitor does not pose a security threat. These laws were put in place for the precise reason of protecting our homeland and preventing a national tragedy like September 11th.

[KirkandBurke]

I'm baffled that Ron Paul voted for this heinous treachery. He's know to be a firm Constitutionalist and he's from Texas. What was he thinking?

[nicmarlo]

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.

[Liberty Tree Surgeon]

If any of you think this vote wasn't rigged, you're kidding yourselves. Notice how many Texas Democrats didn't vote. Yet it passed by the slimmest margin possible. Seems some dealing was made to make it close, but not force the Tx Dems to do something their constituents might get made over.
