It's amazing that some of our Politicians make amnesty look good.  Nah!  I don't buy it.  Hey!  While, Americans are losing more jobs by the day, we need those jobs that are left for Americans only for those are the only.  I'm from Ohio, I know better.  American jobs are scarce.  In Michigan, it's worst.  Hey!  Maybe, our parents and grandparents don't get it and I don't give a darn.  I am a parent fighting for my family and my children to have a job here at home.  We are here by law first.  Who says we must give our livelihood away to the illegals!!!  Well, I don't feel sorry for those who broke the laws.  I feel sorry for those waiting in line, those who are following our laws the right way.  Good behavior and experiences are earned, not stolen.  I know better and so do our Congresspeople and the American people.

Hurry Eliza I agree with you and I am from Virginia. Our state has the type of legislators who only vote per party lines, not the issues. I also want to know how and why Illegal is ok in this instance but if we were to break laws would it too be ok as long as parties and politicians approved it. Since when does Illegal become ok. Next why are our businesses telling the public that they are only doing jobs we (according to your P.R. americans do not want) I dont buy it then or now. When our ancestors came here they lived as we do and followed our rules. They didnt ask to fly other country flags, they didn't ask us to speak their language. They didnt get hand outs. So why are we doing it for this group of worthless, law breaking individuals?

Is anyone surprised by this vote. With few exceptions, our imbecilic Congress is selling the Americans out. Congress has no creditability and hasn't for decades. Follow the money!!!!

They didn't enforce the amnesty bill of 1986, nor will they on this one.

When will Americans wake up. It's not about parties anymore, they are both corrupt.

My name is Hilda Boegel, I have been following all this since it started. I have sent e-mails went to meetings and made all the phone calls to the key senators and was told if I didn't live in there state to call my own senators. I have signed Petitions. But it seems the illegals got more attention with there march and they are here illegally. Why don't we get off our butts and do our Marches to show that all the Legal Americans are firing mad. It seems no one wants to do that and I am disabled and can't walk well, but I'll rent me a wheel chair and I would be there.

There is the March for America coming up on June 16th at the Capitol building in DC (as well as simultaneous marches planned across the country).  It is sponsored by Let Freedom Ring America www.lframerica.com.  I am surprised it has not received more attention.  I am not affiliated with them but I have been writing all of the talk shows (Reagan, Limbaugh, Levin, etc.) and asking them to put the word out.  Rallies are not something that Conservatives have done well at historically; it seems to be more of a tool of the radical sixties generation.  Perhaps there is a fear of "what if nobody shows up...how will that make our resolve look?" that accompanies those who are not accustomed to taking such stands.  It is time we reach beyond our comfort zone. 

I feel the same way, Hilda...I am outraged by how those who represent us insist on crafting this garbage in spite of the loud and clear voice of Americans; "NO AMNESTY."  I have been following this issue loosely for about a year and I have been learning as I go about all of the implications of amnesty.  The more I learn the more my ire grows.  As one who has historically not gotten involved (with the exception of voting) I am now in the fight full on because I believe our nation is at stake as never before and I am unwilling to forsake my duty as an American and watch what little freedom I have left be taken away.

A couple of weeks ago I signed up for the rally and booked my flight from Phoenix to DC.  I've never been to Washington before or participated in a rally.  I can only hope that Americans everywhere are yearning to take action and asking themselves what they can do.  Hopefully, we can all find enough ways to take action that this assault on our liberty will be thwarted.   

I am encouraged to see it reported from several sources today that our Senators are feeling the pressure of faxes, email, call, and letters.  Apparently, this has caused the bill to be forced out of cloture and an actual vote on the bill is not expected until after Memorial Day.  I am using Grassfire to powerfax and I am writing snail mail letters to every Senator and the President.  I will soon start on House members because that will likely be our last line of defense.   

Keep up the pressure!  Don't let the discussion die online or at the watercooler.  Harry Reid wanted to craft and pass this bill in secret hoping that he could catch America sleeping.  We were sleeping, as is our usual custom, but we still seem to rally quickly when we awake with our backs against the wall!!!

I know of no other country in he world so willing to open its borders up to a flood of illegal aliens and to give up its sovereignty as the USA, why is it that our congress and president think that this is a good thing?! Absolutely no one else in the whole world does!!! This is a Traitorous act on the part of those embedded within our government, whos loyalties lie elsewhere, to destroy our country and our way of government! They should be hung for treason.

Better idea.  They thought they would get some attention with their one day boycott.  Not going to work, not shopping and spending money.  We could do that, and it would get attention!

I have spent days making many calls, emails and faxes to insist elected officials keep their oath to uphold The Constitution. I let them know they are to represent us, not to replace us and they do not represent me or anyone I know if they think they can ship our jobs out of country and then invite outlaws in to take our jobs. One suggestion I make is that congress resolve that the problems suffered in the deep recessions caused by environmental policy were solved when government gave tax breaks to companies who gave financial aid and lent management teams to current and start up businesses. If they did this they could use the excess money they tell us they have to support the Kennedy bill to give us tax reductions instead of medical and other social services going to illegals. I also point out that the Americans who would be working who are off the rolls because they stopped looking for work when they gave up hope could then produce again and pay taxes giving a net gain. I don't mention that with Kennedy driving this bill it will soon be drowned and he will get away.

I would have to agree - this is a bunch of worthless mental midgets. Immigrants - legal and illegal - that come from just about any other country except Mexico learn English, and try to get integrated into our society (With the possible exception of Muslim countries and their wish to have sharia law). Mexicans want to bring their failed ideals and ideas here, their poverty, ignorance, lawlessness, anarchy, and chaos. They break laws to come here and then demand we give them rights we Americans who are here legally on't even have. They demand we speak their language and do things the way they would like them done. They are demanding this. Can you believe the nerve? They have free medical care at our emergency rooms for their colds and flu, they have free education, while we have to pay an arm and a leg to put our kids in these now overcrowded schools, they get welfare, assistance getting housing and businesses started, and they don't have to buy health insurance, auto insurance, smog certificates, business licenses, automobile lecenses, pay taxes or obey laws. The biggest pity is Americans are more stupid than these idiots. They don't know enough to go past the CBS evening lies and find out what is really going on. These criminal invaders are getting more accomplished than all the Americans and all the action groups they can put together. Seems no matter what we do the politicians are not representing us, and the judges are not upholding the constitution. Then the turncoat president is giving the country away to the one-world government club, and the oceans to the UN. I don't think there's any hope. The only chance left to save this country is to rebel against those not representing us and taxing us - anybody got any tea? Tickets to Boston? Is there any way to get the idea across to the politicians besides violent revolution? I'm all ears.

No amnesty for law breakers!

Does this mean that crime can now run rampant throughout the system. There are two groups of criminals here: The illegal aliens and the majority of elected politicians. I ask you to review the Constitutional definition of Traitor and Treason. Also view Webster's definitions of an enemy. Now, with all of the coddling of these illegals by furnishing education, health and legal services, among a few of the benefits ... can we not consider all of this various forms of Aid and Comfort? A recent survey by a northern senator revealed that "12 citizens are murdered each day by an illegal alien and 13 are killed by drunk illegal alien drivers." THAT is 25 deaths a day ... more than the daily average of Americans killed in Iraq and Afghanastan. You must also remember that the majority of their organizations (reflected in many rallies) are ANTI-American. THIS never happened with the legal immigrants coming into America AND they learned English. NOW, we have elected government officials "Giving the enemy aid and comfort" ( an OPEN act of TREASON). Our Founding Fathers designed this Constitution for the citizenry(THAT'S US) to be able to prevent the government from usurping the power from the people. WE WANT TO BELIEVE THEM BUT, THEY ARE LYING TO US. WE can save America BUT, it must be a Joint Effort!!

I truly feel President Bush, Senator Kennedy etc etc should be impreached.  The American people should vote on this issue.  The law is the law.  Russians Irish, Polish Italian, Jewish, etc people have come here and folllowed our laws.  Now our politicians think they are above the law.  People who cross are borders should be considered invaders and when apprehended returned to their county.  (send the bill to Mexico).  Their children are just as illegal as they are.  All criminals think of their children when incarcerated.  These children should not be considered American either.  They are as illegal as their parents.  I keep calling to voice my opinion but it seems are politicians have suddenly gone deaf.  These people are laughing in our faces.  Flying our flag upside down.  Its time to stop wasting tax payer money on this issue.  This is just another step to drive the middle class American off the map.  We're heading into our own civil war.  Maybe even before Iraq.

Would someone vote these clowns out on their ears already?  Clear the halls of Congress during the next 2 elections and inject some fresh faces with fresh ideas.  These lifers (Kennedy, Kerry et el) clearly need to go. 

It is well past time that we take back OUR COUNTRY from those intent on giving it away!!

 

 

 

"why are we doing it for this group of worthless, law breaking individuals?" We are not doing any such thing! It is being done to us by our duly elected Members of Congress and the President of the United States of America, against our will. I remember that there was another George in our history. Has anyone else forgotten? Or is is time to BOHICA!

I think it's really sad that the "brat pack", (Biden, Dodd, Kennedy, Clinton, Kerry, Etc...) are all not voting, if it's such a great bill than let them stand their ground and be shown for what, and who they are. I am really disappointed in a few, those I had a higher regard for like Hatch, and Lieberman...I thought they would have voted no. They used to be such fighters, you could at least say for those two that they wouldn't be pressured, it seems they've just fallen in to the pack!I think McCain just shot himself in the foot!

MY QUESTION IS TO ALL OUR LEADERS .........WHERE HAVE ALL OF YOU BEEN SINCE 1986????????????

WHY HAVE OUR BOARDERS BEEN UNPROTECTED FOR 21 YEARS??????

HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN?

WHERE WAS KENNEDY FOR THE LAST 44 YRS??????? YES HES BEEN IN THE SENATE FOR 44 YEARS

I LIVE IN SC NOW BUT I AM FROM MICHIGAN .........MY SORCE TELLS ME 30,000 AUTO WORKERS ARE BEING LAYED OFF PERMANTLY SOON

MICHIGAN IS NUMBER 2 IN UNEMPLOYMENT OVER 7%

I PRAY ALL OF YOU EMAIL EVERYONE YOU KNOW AND I HAVE SPENT 2 DAYS CALLING EVERY SENATOR WE HAVE

WE HAVE TO KEEP UP THE FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TO SAVE AMERICA

I FORGOT ONE THING WHY ARE ALL OUR ELECTED LEADERS EVEN BRINGING A BILL LIKE THIS OUT WHEN OUR BOARDERS ARE NOT BEING PROTECTED AND THE BOARDER PATROL TRYS TO DO THERE JOB AND END UP IN PRISON? 12 TO 20 MILLION ILLIGALS ARE BREAKING OUR LAWS ................THEY SHOULD HAVE NO RIGHTS

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

While the Democrats incorporate Mexican immigration into their polical machine, we law abiding American taxpayers get stuck with the bill.......and I'm talking trillions!!! Sure they want amnesty...what party do you think 99% of the immigrants are going to side with? Mexcan immigrants, or any other nationality of people must obey federal laws. However according to the liberal left it is okay and fine to have millions of people cross into our country illegaly and break federal laws.. What is up with this? The notion that any person, once in this country bank rolls our nation to the hilt is pure B.S.and the liberals better take note, because we are not standing for it! I encourage everyone to contact any and all congreessmen and senators and bog them down in anti-amnesty immigration messages!! DO IT NOW!!! Do it today, or else we will pay...and our children will pay... and therir children will pay for decades to come!!
