Reid Threatens Filibuster to Get Amnesty For Illegals

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-MX) wants his party's 11 million votes. That's the number of illegal immigrants estimated to be in the US. Reid has threatened to filibuster a Senate bill to overhaul immigration if Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist goes ahead with a version that doesn't guarantee a "path to citizenship" for the aliens currently evading the INS.

From the Associated Press:

"If Leader Frist brings a bill to the floor that does not have the approval of the Judiciary Committee, it will not get out of the Senate," Reid told reporters at the San Ysidro border crossing, a few steps from Tijuana, Mexico.
I'm not sure why Harry has flown into such a snit. If the Dems can't legalize the illegals to use for voting purposes they could always come up with the votes the old school Donkey way; raiding graveyards.

3 lets see, ted kennedy is the senator representing saddem's personally, and harry reid is the senator representing mexico, and john kerry is the senator representing france. when kerry was running for prez in 2004, he was hinting at a claim that one of his grandparents was jewish, however he wasn't very concerned for israel with j kerry's comments about how the israeli security to prevent the entry of suicide bombers into israel was a threat to world peace. in a sense j kerry was representing 2 countrys instead of 1. then hillary has bibical enthusiasm over immigration, to bad she hasn't bibical enthusiasm to overthrow roe v wade because of what Psalm 139 says. how did hillary vote over the Terri Schiavo matter last year?

4 Hillary's jumped on the bandwagon too (big surprise). She's actually invoking scripture in her defense of illegals overrunning the US. I guess she figures the 11 million illegals will put her over the top. Now if she can just get the felons....

6 This is a good thing. Most people are already ticked off that we haven't closed down our borders. These leftards could have used this as a major issue in the midterm elections but, once again, they've staked out a position against mainstream America. Just shows how out of touch they really are.

7 Good point, slug, the Dems showed their hand just a little bit too soon. Thank God! Now, if only the Republicans will regain their senses and make this an issue. I wouldn't bet the farm on it, though.

8 Does Reid think he has the votes? Will the gelding Frist take him up on his offer? How about a real filibuster? Will the Dems stand and talk around the clock? P-L-E-A-S-E!

9 i wonder what the scripture fat socialist cow hillary c is using to justify immigration? may be howard dean since he thinks the book of Job is found in the New Testament, is fat socialist hillary's advisor on what is said in the Bible. i read lakeoff's book don't think of an elephant, where he essentially gives advice to the dems how to use english phrases as a means of attracting voters. seems the dem's are retarted to think that it could be voters want substance not english style. like jay severin right now on the radio is talking about how illegals can dictate to us americans what laws we as americans can make for america.
