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.

Excellent point.
The problem is with the mexican gang-bangers, car-stealing, drug dealing, la raza, and all the other malcontents here. These should be shown the exit, pronto.

Our First Malcontent is the idiot from Kenya!!! He has found the "exit" on many occasions, but he keeps coming back. I wonder if someone would volunteer for the job of sending him to "secondary" upon his return from his next trip and demanding he produce his birth certificate. Otherwise, if not produced, advise him his passport looks to be a forgery and send him to Kenya!!!

This kind of legislation is precisely the reason that the Framers insisted on the natural born qualification for the office of POTUS.
