Immigration bill pwned in the Senate!

NOT YOURS!




No matter which side of the immigration debate you're on. Both "fixes" in this bill won't do it.

1: Amnesty is retarded and unreasonable.
2: Blocking the border won't work. It's a nice idea but is too costly and unnecessary.
3: Still no mention of holding employers accountable (really accountable, not Bush's type of "accountable".

Yup, Specter and Casey both voted FOR closure, i.e. support of the bill. Worst Specter helped write the piece of dung. Time to throw these bumbs out of office.

[diputs]

How can you throw Casey out when he's never there? (just had to say it)

[RoyJackson]

Yep, Spector and Casey both....time to remind them we will not forget this come next election

Funny how the people voting 'Yea' are mostly from the North and the 'Nay' votes from Southern states. It's not across the board but looks pretty close to it.

We absolutely MUST NOT FORGET about Casey and Specter's vote. Casey is too new to have a really really bad record but Specter certainly does. He's a closet-puppet. He likes to act like he's super-independent and non-partisan but this guy blows puppies. He's a horrible Senator and needs to be removed from office. We have no room for these Liebermanesque sell-outs.

President Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.

But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all.

We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt January 03, 1919

from the GOA e-mail update 6/29/07:

Consider what Congressional Quarterly had to say about that amendment on Wednesday:
"The process [to get a Unanimous Consent agreement]
came to a halt when the chamber refused to table an amendment by Max
Baucus, D-Mont.... When the chamber voted against tabling the Baucus
amendment, the process stopped. Without a unanimous consent
agreement to adopt the amendment or move on, the next step was the
cloture vote [which failed]."

This complies with what one highly placed Senate staffer told GOA
yesterday when he said that the failed attempt to kill the Baucus
amendment was "probably the reason we killed the bill."

The Baucus amendment would have protected the jobs and gun rights of
Americans who live in states that are blocking the enforcement of the
REAL ID Act. Without the promise of a National ID in every state,
the Baucus amendment effectively became the ultimate poison pill in
this bill.

So kudos to all of you for all of your hard work!
