I thought we couldn’t have border enforcement without amnesty? I thought the only way we could solve the problem is with a “comprehensive” solution. I thought the only way to secure the border was to give a pathway to citizenship for 12-20 million who came here illegally. I thought the “comprehensive” bill was the best we could get. That’s what they told us … over and over and over and over.

Does this mean they were wrong?!? Were those that called us bigots/racists/hypochondriacs/restrictionists wrong about all of this? Or are their (former?) amnesty heroes McVain, Kyl, Grahamnesty, et al wrong on this one? And won’t this bill alienate Hispanics from the GOP, because lord knows, every single Hispanic in the U.S. is totally in favor of granting immediate amnesty to illegals and thinks that securing the border and controlling who enters the country is the de facto equivalent to anti-Hispanic racism.

Color me confused … how can this be?

This is now the 2nd time somebody has said this. I do not know anything about this “AgJob” bill.

Why is this not being covered by conservative bloggers?

I get the same accusations from narrow minded people who can’t see into next week, much less next year. Such is the bane for those of us who dare to look to the future with logic and reason that is based on the facts and realistic projections.

To be honest with you, my main reasons for opposing illegal immigration are centered around the inherent lawlessness (and direct assault on the rule of law) that accompanies amnesty.

But that video gave a different reason for US citizens to be gravely concerned.

And worried.

If you choose to watch the video I linked to, above, please wait until the gumballs comparison. Very effective!

Entelechy, I watched the video. WOW!!

Very profound!! Yes, I did stay for the “gumballs comparison.”

That video was very persuasive and powerful. I am surprised that YouTube has not banned it since it does not fit well with the American Left.

they can slip amnesty past us in the AgJob bill and others like it. They can now appear tough on illegal immigration while voting for amnesty on other bills.

You f’ed yourself.

Now live with it.

Oh, and vote for the RINO-killa Tancredo.

- Build the fence;
- Enforce existing laws; or
- STFU!

This is really ugly and painful to observe.

This is true.

But it is also good to see “democracy in action” when a US voter watches McCain’s poll ratings plummet down the drain all because of a dangerous bill, even though some people (Wall Street Journal, immigration lawyers, La Raza, illegal aliens, American Left,) are disappointed at McCain’s demise.

What really bothered me about the recent Sham-amnesty bill was that its chief supporters, namely, Graham-amnesty of SC, John Kyl (former conservative from AZ??), Trent Lott (former conservative from MS??), Hagel of NE, were pushing Sham-amnesty primarily because it would help McCain politically in the primary.

Remember, McCain initially believed that Sham-nesty legislation would help him in the GOP polls, not destroy him. This was a political move by McCain..

1)Got rid of McVain politically
2)Grouped together and made our voices heard in a big way – first time in anyone’s memory.

Well said, Entelechy.

I thought McVain by itself was an excellent comment.

ROFL, thanks, Christoph! But I RARELY stop at one word. ;)

He’s becoming pathetic. It’s over. The one-man band continues to play, but it’s no orchestra. Time to say good-bye and retire in style. Letting go of power is really an ugly process. Remember how Bill C. couldn’t leave Wash. D.C. on the day of the innauguration? And how he wants to come back, badly?

This is really ugly and painful to observe.
