Ya know I was wondering the same thing. I thought the Dems laid down a little to quickly on the Iraq funding. LOL That would be great. Dubya puttin it to the Dems.

“Under the increases, which cover almost all immigration benefits, the cost of bringing a foreign fiance or fiancee will jump…”.

NOT EVEN MARRIED???

Do they have ANY idea how many will claim to be engaged?
12 mil? 20 mil? 40 mil? Not even close.

.. welcome 60 MILLION + new illegal aliens, come one, come all.

…it may be none other than St. John of Tucson

It’s actually St. John of Phoenix, but perhaps there are only so many times that bird of Presidential ambition can rise from the ashes. Tucson means “black base”, referring to the volcanic mountains. But it could also refer to the mood towards him of his former supporters, so maybe – fine.

This is a typo right? Am I upposed to feel like those are actually a hardship?

Those fees are being imposed on people who play by the rules. Why punish them while we’re about to reward those who don’t?

I have 2 truly pathetic senators from my state…..a flaming liberal and a RINO (or…another flaming liberal). I write…they flip me the bird. Bush thinks that polluting the country with this illegal immigration bill will be his legacy….it will all right…as the Republican Jimmy Carter. How proud his mother will be.

Must be a fellow Ohioan.

I can it was in the early 60’s

…doubt there will be 20 GOP Senators and 150 GOP Representatives in Congress in 2009.

Geez, Helloyawl, you think the real Republican count is going to go up?

Any member who votes to keep this thing alive will never get support from me again. 10:02 PM

I’m about through supporting the republicans, no more money from me, that’s for sure. 10:17

I am doing all I can by contacting Senators about this bill. 10:35

Maybe strategery by those getting cold feet after getting a response from their constituents 12:06 AM

The amount of complaints registering with the senators must be having an effect. Why else would Bush complain about us.

Keep contacting, be respectful, be consistant —maybe, just maybe…

And that ain’t gonna happen. There aren’t more than a hundred and fifty people in the Houste that will oppose this on principle. Maybe a few more that will oppose it because they think it is too strict, and a few more that will want to add earmarks… But the majority will still want to get it passed.

No Hope left in my little corner of the multiverse.

Could it possibly be that Bush used this bill to bribe the democrats into funding the war in Iraq and now that he has the Iraq war spending bill he wants he is screwing Kennedy?

If you honestly believe that, I have a nice bridge in NY that I can sell you.

any chance some “strategery” was at play here?

Maybe strategery by those getting cold feet after getting a response from their constituents…anything to kill it now.

I read somewhere that Kyl is really catching he!!, and deservedly so.

Anyone know if any voting reform amendments were in this PoS bill?

Seems like many of the nutballs in Congress wanted this bill…it would have been a perfect time to require (federally) providing proper ID at the polls prior to voting. If this were done, then the “path to citizenship” provisions would likely have been tougher and required, and the new defeatocrat voting bloc would have been lessened.

Under the increases, which cover almost all immigration benefits, the cost of bringing a foreign fiance or fiancee will jump from $170 to $455. The price tag for a green card, or a legal permanent resident visa, will rise from $325 to $930, and the cost of citizenship papers will increase from $330 to $595.

This is a typo right? Am I upposed to feel like those are actually a hardship?

Tax amnesty? or forcing back taxes? its still a tax/money bill…

House could kill it either way.
