Immigration Poison Pill Amendents Dying Off
Seems all the poison pill amendments meant to scuttle the Immigration Bill in the Senate are failing. Are all sides finally understanding that this subject is tanking everyone and that leaving us the status quo is a political kiss of death? Doubtful in my opinion. But it is interesting to see so many go down already.
And this was posted before the votes?
Back on the roller coaster, baby! As a rocket scientist I think you have an unfair advantage dealing with the G-force affects, A.J. I’m just closing my eyes at this point, waving my hands over my head.
I do agree that the two years here, one year home idea is a bad one.
The current screeching over the immigration bill is of a type with the “grass roots” screeching that surrounded Terry Schiavo, Harriet Miers, Dubai Ports, and the last attempt at immigration reform.
The difference is that the GOP has learned that in 2005-06, it wasn’t “grass roots,” it was astroturfing. If it had been truly from the grass roots, the GOP would still be in the majority.
Even the “kill the bill” folks have to admit — if you spend most of the time since May 2006 screaming about how the invasion from Mexico is a huge problem that absolutely must be taken care of, a problem so urgent that the President can be accused of abetting the undermining of the country if he doesn’t fix things, then there is a huge risk of people deciding you’re jumping the shark if you kill the only bill out there put forth as an attempt at a solution to the problem.
If the only proposed bill out there is going to make the problem twice as bad, why support it? This is not an attempt to solve the problem, this is an attempt to duck the problem by changing the law to erase the crime. The net result will be a Taco Bell commercial, (Run for the Border). Should we use this tactic on other laws? Raise the speed limit to 120 to solve the traffic problems.
Aitch, we are at a point in world history where a trend of poverty dumping is taking place all over the world and it is creating chaos everywhere it is happening, read a paper lately? It has to stop. I see Sarkozy in France is starting to do something about it.
Heres my question Aitch, how far down the road do we have to go toward becoming a third world socialist country before you acknowledge that allowing it to happen is a mistake?
Look at England for gods sake, heres a headline by Breitbart, “Mohammed likely to top British boys’ names list by year-end” Heres the link.

I have a good friend from London who’s family still lives there. They have had a very liberal immigration policy. He says in twenty short years, the swarm of people moving in has destroyed the country, it is becoming a real mess, and it may be too late to deal with. The muslim population in England is growing like a weed. What do you thing life is going to be like when Europes population becomes majority muslim? Nice thing to do for your kids.
We have approximately twenty percent of the Mexican population living here right now, another 40 percent of those still there are ready to come here now. Not to mention others in India and Pakistan, other areas of Africa that want to come here immediately. That’s according to polling done within the last year in Mexico. There are large sections of this country that will become almost totally Mexican in population in a few short years if this bill passes. They will not be Americans, they want nothing to do with that. What they are doing is Reconquista, or re-conqeuring, slowly quietly, but still the same end effect. Google La Raza and MeChA and see what they say about America. I’m all for guest workers and immigration as long as it is controlled and the people follow our laws. From what I see, these people have no intention of doing that.
Tancredo is right, we may need to halt immigration until we get it under control and create a system that is not a total sham. Just throwing open the door AGAIN and legalizing everyone is essentially doing away with national soveriegnty.
The key is to get a bill out of the Senate. I see no problems seeing some form of legislation that is complete and AMericans can grapple with and try to make better using the House. It will be concrete and in in a full form.
I am not sure why this is a bad thing. Wecan have a completed Senate Bill. We will have months to examine it and look at its good and bad sides and use that to further the process.
Much more productive in soliving the problems than trying to kill the bill in order to stop all constructive discussion and action
The process is working.
