It makes me wonder if it would be better if it did pass.
If we get a Democratic President elected next year ( and it is very possible ) wouldn't you think that what they put together will be even more liberal than the one Bush put together ? Let's not kid ourselves, Bush is for cheap labor . But Dems are for keeping their fan base happy and the ACLU and I think whatever they come up with will be worse. And by that time people may be so sick of hearing about it that they will figure that a little fence is better then no fence .What do you think ? Who is our best hope ( D or R only) that will give us the toughest laws or better yet enforce the ones on the books without Corporate greed or bleeding hearts guiding them ? Who will stand up for the rights of legal immigration and strong borders with no excuses?

"The bald eagle will be taken off the federal endangered-species list today...."

Sorry, pros, and no offense, but whatever happens in the future, voters gave our elected officials a jolt today, in the true American spirit.

What do you think?

The bill enforces -to my understanding-
1)stronger border
2)work plan for the aliens
3)only work cards (so no benefits will be given)

I've also discovered some kind of theory

of the many that voted nays, many of them are from (sterotypically said according to past history) 'less-liberal' states like georgia and Missouri.

And many of those who voted yays are from the north, which has (i think) less illegal immigrants because its not next to the border. Also, some states that are in the middle are split between their decisions (one sentator yes and one no).

Now, is this bill really good for these immigrants? or is it just an excuse to get the wheel running for the ultimate decision of granting full rights as a citizen?

Since illegals want to become part of the United States, before they can they need to prove their loyalty to America. They must join the military and go fight in Iraq, and where ever they're needed. I'm talking about the women as well as the men. Americans go off to fight in Iraq, its about time these illegals prove themselves by joining the military and fight also instead of getting off scott free, while Americans go off fighting for our freedom and others freedom. Join the military illegals and will see if you prove your loyalty to America!

It's all about constituent anger over the inability of Congress to "solve" this problem, while in reality the constituents wanted this bill to die. It was a whopper of a bad bill, but you'd never know it reading the news.

How many of you wrote or called your Senators? I wrote mine and gave him my opinion and I think it worked. Now that we have their attention the question is can we actually get a bill that will work?

For black people ONLY! Hello, I am black and wanted to know what did black people think of immigration. I see it as an attack on poor people just like the modern day civil rights movement, enen though they are not from this country. Rich white people keeping the people of color down no matter where they come from. And I think if you agree with keeping people of color down in the gutter, you consider yourself one of them thus being an uncle tom. What is your opinion.

all the visas only to the 'good' companies like Microsoft who aren't using them to outsource? Recent discoveries changed my mind that increasing the H1B cap was the way to deal with this, and I never wanted to let as many students who could get a masters or better from our worst colleges to get them without cap, but that is what IT wants. Expect a follow up bill.

What do you think?

The Bush/Kennedy Amnesty bill has got shot down. There was some good points to the bill, but I belive by being more aggressive with our immigration laws we can take control of this problem.

Can we now look foreward to seeing our current laws enforced ?

So you guys say the US has to enforce the laws it has.

I don't think they will enforce them.

But if they do, and millions and millions of "illegals" lose their jobs, how would they have money to go back home, they won't. These poor mothers who work to feed their children will be left homeless and dead. And their children will probably die of hunger since there will be probably millions with parents who were fired for being "illegal."

I know some of you anti's will say "well illegal is illegal, they shouldn't have been here in the first place, they could have still been alive back in their contries." But that's not the point.

Wouldn't that not be good if we risk the lives of these immirgants by unemploying all of them if the laws are enforced?

What do you guys think? (remeber, think before you TYPE)

It was created for furthering the North American Union agenda. The joining of Mexico, the USA and Canada. It would have erased our borders so this would further even faster and also give the congressional blessing to the SPP which has been created by Bush, Fox and the Canadian PM.

THIS is why I am relieved that it didn't pass! It at least put the NAU at a slower rate than they are wanting. Why do YOU feel this was a good bill not have passed?

Ive heard and researched the Issue,.a lot..and from what i gather...there already exists an Immigration Policy,..also there have been planned routes to addressing the border crossing problem..by building a wall or fence...which is not being done..to bad...this problem could have been mostly solved already...if it had.

When they organized in the thousands, waving their Mexican Flags and demanded their "rights", American citizens were angered. Americans believe you should wave the American flag, and should go back to Mexico and fix the problems in the county to whom you show your loyalty. Americans believe people breaking our laws to even be here should not become citizens just because they successfully broke our laws. That would be like rewarding a person with a driver's license because they were able to drive for years without one. The net effect of all this Mexican protesting is that now Americans will demand that our immigration laws be enforced, and our border secured.

So we all know what happen today. You might have been for it or not but we all have to understand our status quo, and it should not countinue this way. I think they should have passed it, but that's just me.

But do you believe that the government might/might not enforce the laws we have now? I'm not pretty sure about that.

But what we have to do now is give this IMMIGRATION ISSUE a little rest. For all the Pros and Cons of this Reform bill, would you all be able to tone down the hate, i don't care who it comes from (mostly anti-illegals). And with that said, it's over for now, but will probably come back in 2009. Is the IMMIGRATION ISSUE worth talking about, anymore?

WHAT DO YOU THINK? (remember, think before you type).
