December 7, September 11 and May 25 JOHN W LILLPOP December 7 and September 11. Two tragic days in American history marred by attacks on our beloved homeland by cowardly foreign enemies. May 25 now joins those dates in infamy, after the US Senate visited unimaginable horror upon We the People in the name of immigration reform. Bombs were not dropped on Americans as was the case on December 7. Planes were not used as weapons of mass destruction against commercial landmarks and the Pentagon as on 9/11. Nonetheless, the devastation inflicted by the US Senate upon the We the People was whithering. In a spiritual sense, May 25 may actually represent a greater disaster for We the People than either Pearl Harbor or 9/11. After all, each of the 100 men and women serving in the Senate took an oath to protect and defend America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. In other words, they are supposed to be on OUR side… we count on them to protect our interests. But by a vote of 62-36, the US Senate said to hell with homeland security and American sovereignty. To hell with American language, borders and culture. Most tragically, to hell with the rule of law and to hell with We the People. Overall, 63% of the Senate voted to sell-out America in favor of Mexico. Only Judas has staged a more blatantly evil betrayal. Of the 42 Democrats who voted, 38 voted with Mexico, four with America. In other words, 90% of Democrat senators are unconcerned about US homeland security, and could care less if America decays into a third-world sewer like Mexico. The Democrats’ reward? 20 million new Democrats and the intoxicating lure of long-term political power. On the Republican side of the aisle, of the 56 who voted, 24 sided with Mexico while 32 said OK To America. In other words, 43% of GOP senators are more concerned with providing cheap labor for big business than with upholding the rule of law and protecting the homeland. True, 57% of the GOP voted for America. But Republicans are expected to defend American interests against the ravages of liberalism and socialism. Thus, 57% is abysmal. To add bitter poison to the mix, a GOP senator reportedly made a last minute change which requires the US to consult with Mexico before erecting a border fence. Consult with Mexico about securing US borders? Can you imagine? That’s like conferring with Osama bin Laden prior to implementing airport security. Or consulting with Iran’s goofy Ahmadinejad about US strategy for preventing the madman from blowing Israel into smithereens. Still, despite the gut-wrenching let down, patriotic Americans can be grateful for the fact that the US House of Representatives must also act on any immigration legislation before it can be signed into law. Thank God, the House is comprised of decent conservatives more commited to American security, sovereignty and culture than cheap labor.

who was it that started the H1-b visa program? and the L-1 visa program. these were brought to us originally by republicans. and out-right amnesty would be far better than the guest worker programs that most republicans want. the guest-worker programs are long-term formulas for turning the american population into serfs. flood the work-force with people who are compromised and can't switch jobs, give the employers a source of workers who are semi-slave indentured servants, that's what republicans want.

THAT is the Democrat line! The question is better for who? The Democrat party, no longer able to win elections by appealing to real Americans? The Catholic church, desperate for peasants who have never even heard of the Da Vinci Code? Labor Unions, desperate for new, brain-dead fools to steal from? Amnesty is THE LIBERAL agenda, mates! Which is not to say that our stupid president and the RINOs behind him are any better!
Don't remove from context, that's dishonest.
That is the dishonest statement, Robin Again, the Vote on the floor of the Senate re the amnesty bill: For Amnesty: Democrats= 38 of 42 voting or 90% GOP= 24 of 56 voting or 43% MOST Republicans---57% do NOT want amnesty. Again: If amnesty is to be stopped, it will be because of the GOP House.
That is the dishonest statement, Robin Red's statement stands true. The GOP says NO to amnesty, which is good, BUT they voted YES to guest worker, which is very bad. http://www.numbersusa.org/hottopic/2454.html http://www.numbersusa.com/PDFs/SensenbrennerSpecterMcCainFristComparison.pdf
Really? What bill was that? Liberalslie 209? READ HR 4437 and please cite the portion that speaks to guest worker. BTW, amnesty is 10000000 times worse than Guest Worker!
#27. To: alwaysontheright (#23)
HR4437 is not the only bill pending. Many attempts were made to add guest worker but they were shot down. Here's liberal Boxer: "There are 3.6 million workers in construction with an average wage of $18.21," Boxer said. "I meet with my working people in California. They're fighting hard for these jobs, they want more of these jobs, not less of these jobs, and the last thing they want is a guest worker program that is going to provide a big pool of workers who will get far less than this amount and take jobs away from my people." "There is nothing temporary about this guest worker program," agreed Sessions, saying the bill offers new migrants -- as well as most of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants already in the country -- a path to citizenship, leading to extraordinary new numbers of blue-collar migrants.
They want to give them amnesty that leads to citizenship. And the Senate bill includes a guest worker plan. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000103&sid=accbIP1dU1ys&refer=us ``I know the politics are out there,'' Frist, from Tennessee, said on Fox News Sunday. ``It's not politically popular.'' Yet he urged negotiations to move forward even though the Senate's version of the legislation, which contains a guest worker program leading to citizenship, is ``not perfect.'' Most Republicans who face stiff competition in the November House elections oppose legislation that would allow illegal immigrants to become citizens because it might be seen as rewarding unlawful behavior, the Washington Post reported today, citing interviews with about half of the 40 most vulnerable congressman.
