1 And the message it sends to every single illegal that marched in the streets was to contact all their friends to come on over because no one is going to do a damn thing about it.

2 Like I've been saying, it's time to go to Washington, drag the bastards out in the streets, and hang them all.

3 Well, it was a good country while it lasted.

4 Absolutely none of the legislative wrangling will do any good in the long run unless a wall is built to secure the southern border of the U.S. And I don't want to hear that it can't be done. Over a thousand years ago, the Chinese proved that it can. And they did it for the same reason we should -- to stop the invaders.

5 This is insane. Just a few weeks a ago, both sides were up in arms about the Dubai Ports deal, shouting about national security. Now they've essentially thrown the southern border wide open.......in conjunction with a plan to strengthen the border patrol. Oy! My head hurts.

6 Not too sure how this would produce dirt cheap labour as these people once documented and given amnesty (if they went that route) would have to be paid on-par with what legal immigrants working in the US get paid, would they not? I would suspect the Republicans voting for this are afraid of being unfairly branded as "racists" as they would be by the MSM had they voted against this. Or perhaps they voted in favour for the same reason suspected of the Democrats, to garner new votes. Here's a thought, perhaps its time for a one term limit on any elected position; it might eliminate so much of the posturing for getting elected again come the next election, and perhaps politicians would be forced to act in the best interests of their constituents instead of solely in their own best interests. I do agree however, this is a disgrace. Now why bother going through proper channels when you could skip all that paperwork by entering illegaly and then being given amnesty and set on the road to citizenship? What an insult to those who had enough respect for the laws of the United States to enter the country legally!

7 What this means is that immigration reform will have to wait until after the fall elections. The House has passed a bill that is so different from the Senate version that there is little chance for any law to pass this session. Whatever happens in November will determine which way the law will go. If the Democrats take control of the House, then amnesty is likely to be granted, if not, perhaps we will see a law passed that has some teeth. If neither happens, then it will be up to the people of the US to stop this illegal invasion by any means neccessary.

8 Our imperial senate have just voted to make us part of mexico and made that jerk FOX our president. These traitors will do anything to get votes and appease the socialists UN reptiles

9 Can someone please help me get that knife out of the center of my back?

10 name names; who voted how?

11 Ron, here is one such name and a U.S. SenatorÂ’s reply to my e-mail: You have only to look at the recent unpleasantness in Paris to see how French society was marginalized by importing low-wage workers. Absent permanent tax cuts and radically reduced Federal spending, inviting 20 million Mexican "guest workers" here will create more problems than it solves. Open borders threaten to create a permanent alien underclass. As it now is, the proletarianization of American culture is advancing rapidly enough by means of illegitimate births and failed government schools. The President's amnesty proposal will only accelerate this trend. Tell me, how many lifetimes will the middle-class bear the burden of this flawed immigration policy? May 17, 2006 Dear Christian: Thank you for contacting me regarding illegal immigration. I agree that illegal immigration is a very serious problem and appreciate knowing your views. Currently, there are approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants [sic] in the United States, with close to 1 million more arriving every year. Yet, our current immigration system is broken. It is a system that is not good for American security, particularly during our fight to combat international terrorism. It is not good for American workers and businesses. And, it is not good for the immigrants, themselves. To tackle this problem, we must have a comprehensive immigration plan that toughens our borders, documents illegal immigrants, and provides for American labor needs. On March 28, 2006, the Senate Judiciary Committee, of which I am a member, passed immigration legislation out of Committee. The legislation is the first step toward comprehensive immigration reform. I voted in favor of the bill, which would secure our southern border by providing for an additional 12,000 border patrol agents, increased use of technology, and a fence along portions of the border. The bill also includes a guest worker program limited to approximately 400,000 people per year and a way to document and provide legal status for immigrants already here. Currently, the Senate is working on reaching an agreement on immigration reform legislation. Again, thank you for contacting me. If you have any additional concerns, please feel free to contact me anytime. Very respectfully yours, MIKE DeWINE United States Senator
