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.

you make it sound like the republicans are trying to stop illegal immigration whereas democrats are not. but this a completely false picture. In 1986 it was republicans who decided that we would not check payroll data as reported from the employers to keep the employers from hiring illegal immigrants. and it is this failure from 1986 that allowed the illegal aliens since then to come and be accepted. even today it is republicans who choose that our policy be dysfunctional. any time they want to check the payroll data to see who is illegal they can. they choose not to.
What I said, fairly clearly, is that if there is ANY CHANCE of stopping amnesty, it will come from the GOP house. Can you dispute that? Democrats are almost unamious in favor of amnesty. My words: 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. 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.

democrats - republicans - they're both worthless. it is pretty pitiful that your only defense of republicans is to point at democrats. here's an example of how out-of-whack both parties are with the will of the americans. Opinion polls have been showing for a year or so that the percentage of americans who want to bring the troops home has been hovering over the last year at the 55-60% level. they had a vote in congress to see who wanted an orderly withdrawal from Iraq and only 1% of the House of representatives voted to withdraw the troops. Among the general population it is 60% who say bring em home, but among congress it is 1%. this demonstrates very clearly that our whole system of popular representation of the people in government is completely broken. both democrats & republicans oppose the americans on immigration policy and on many other policies.

Red: The ONLY politicans I defend are those who vote for America---not Mexico. It just happens that most of those have a little R next to their names. But to ALL RINOs, the idiot-in-chief and Democrats who are for amnesty, I say: Go to the hot place for ever
