The Senate on Saturday blocked a bill that would create a path to citizenship for certain illegal immigrant students who came to the United States as children, completed two years of college or military service and met other requirements including passing a criminal background check. The vote, 55-41 in favor of the bill, effectively kills the measure for this year, and its fate beyond that is uncertain.
Right you are, buck. I haven't a clue how this bill didn't pass, but it's a wonderful surprise as it will further anger the perpetual angry base of the socialist wing of the National Party. This rebuff to the Illegal Lobby makes me berry, berry happy.
but I believe he carries a touch of Stockholm Syndrome regarding illegals :)
you are certainly entitled to your opinion.
But remember, I am sticking with Ronald Reagan on this issue. Reagan believed in forgiving the illegals.
I feel that any civilized society has an obligation to the children that grow up in that society. Most illegal immigrants' children believe it or not grow up with English as their preferred language. They go to American schools, have american friends and think that they are American.
We allowed their parents to come here and to exist here.

What you mean "we" White Man?
"We" as in "We The People" have had no say in it as the Feral Government bowing to the plans of their Globalist Psychiatrist/Bankster masters opened the floodgates intentionally to destroy the culture. Nothing is done to stem the flow other than a few attempts by volunteer groups such as the Minutemen.
It is an unfortunate situation, but they are not here legally, and that is the bottom line.
It may seem cold hearted to you, but I simply regard it as just. If they wish to remain here some accomodation could be made, but not without a legal application in the same fashion as anyone else wishing to emigrate here.

There is the rub, Red.
In doing what they have done, albeit because of decisions that their parents have made, and in asking what they are asking for, these people are cutting in line in front of a great many folks that have jumped through a great many hoops to get here in accordance with the law, and who jump through many more to get permanent residency and eventually citizenship.
Immigrants who come here legally to stay and live do not poll well on the "Dream Act" or similar legislation. In fact they are strongly against it. This is one of the chief reasons that this bill failed. It was patently unfair.
