Reid isn’t asking Bush for help. He’s setting Bush up for the blame.

So It’s Not a Democratic Bill?…

I’ve been hearing this quote from Senator Reid being circulated through the media:

This bill thats on the floor is not a Democratic bill, it is a bill that was worked on by Democrats and Republicans in cooperation with the president.’

Secure the borders. Punish businesses. Enforce all existing laws. Fast track those in the legal pipeline to replace the illegals that will scatter back to their ~~$hithole~~ &hithole countries. Fixed it. Leave the money here!

Okay…Byron Dorgan made more sense than Saxby Chambliss.

There is always the possibility and the likelihood that people will misrepresent what is in the bill and then differ with it,” said Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts and one of the legislative veterans shepherding the measure. “It’s an old technique. I have used it even myself.”
Ha! What a jerk. The dude gets quoted incriminating himself.

Slublog is right…he was saying that some AMERICANS have it bad, too and a sympathy vote for “poor” illegals will hurt AMERICANS.

That was an impressive takedown of this bill. Any chance we could get video put up of Dorgan’s anti-”legislation by gang” statement. That was great.

He’s on our side on this one.

And at the moment, he’s eviscerating this bill.

Once this bill is killed, then phone calls thanking the Senators for killing it is advised. Sometimes you need to pat the dog after beating them about the head and neck.

The Republicans should add the embryonic bill to this amnesty bill and see if Bush vetos it.

Conundrum!

Exit question: Gun to your head, who would you vote for — Silky Pony or Bill Richardson?

Actually, it would be a no-brainer. Richardson, despite his immigration stance. Silky Pony and his Two Americas™, sucking up to the likes of that Chavez fluffer Danny Glover? Birds of a feather, y’know.

Sorry, I know that’s not gonna go over well considering Richardson’s immigration stance, but he’s the lesser of two (very) evils. Not that it’s gonna happen anyway, THANK GOD.

A 70 to 80% reduction in illegal immigration and illegal contraband would be acceptable.

And hardcore enforcement inland to make them want to leave.

When you guys say cut off the borders…what amount of alien influx being cut off would be possible? What would you expect?
tomas on June 7, 2007 at 5:16 PM

I think you are at a point where you might be open to listen to what we have been trying to explain for several days now.

A wall wont get them all.

Employer sanctions wont get them all.

Tamper proof ID cards wont get them all.

Landlord sanctions wont get them all.

BUT, you put all that together, and even if a million illegals are left, we could live with it. The most important thing for you to realize is that as the wall and employer sanctions discourages new illegal immigration, employer and landlord sanctions, and ID cards encourage the illegals to go back to their jobs in their country of origin. This is a net reduction of illegals in this country. Couple that with deporting them as we catch them, and the 12 million illegals that you have complained are impossible to deport, all of a sudden, like going to the moon, becomes very doable.

It’s pretty simple to figure out when you have the desire to do so, and it’s even easier to implement when you have the will to get it done.

I’d write in Vicente Fox

Gregor on June 7, 2007 at 5:39 PM

That’s a good point.

If Vicente Fox were President of the United States, would he seal our southern border the way he sealed Mexico’s southern border?

Might be worth a shot…

Rove you magnificent bastard you have managed to find an issue that costs Bush who is leaving office soon but also one that torpedoes the democrats.

If this bill fails then while some republicans will get black eyes its the dems who will get fire on both sides.

tomas, (as for me) when I say “secure” the borders I don’t expect much more than 50% less illegals coming across but when I say enforce our laws, with employer penalties, loss of services and deportation of illegal criminals) I expect nearly 100% reduction in the numbers of illegal aliens (border crossers and visa overstays) within a year. When I say then we will talk I mean we will talk about allowing enough guest workers to legally for a limited time enter the nation to meet realistic needs of employers for jobs that honestly and truly Americans cannot be found to fill but at the same pay and benefits that an American citizen would be paid. It is simply that I will not trust an administration or Congress to follow any new law until they have shown me that they can enforce the old laws first.
