Immigration bill is dead because Repubs are afraid of their seats!!?

Question

Do you think that their seats are more important?

They shot themselves in the fooe don't you think???

Answer 1

It is dead because it was a useless piece of legislation. If we are going to just grant amnesty to illegals - and make no mistake about it, amnesty is what was being offered - we'd just be back in this mess in 20 more years.

To fix the problem, you must first address the problem. That means sealing the borders shut. After the borders are sealed, you have to track down as many illegals as you can and ship 'em back. Now that the borders are sealed, they won't be coming back illegally.

Why would ANYONE support legislation that forgives breaking our laws, that forgives 40% of taxes owed, that forgives identity theft ... YOU would be in jail for that, and yet you support legislation that lets illegals get away with that???

It is a slap in the face to every immigrant and every would-be immigrant who is trying to get into this country legally. Worse yet, it is a slap in the face to the many thousands of immigrants serving in our armed forces to become a CITIZEN and not just be a migrant worker.

Get real.

EDIT: LizzieBeth - I wrote every single Senator and Congressman in Congress and told them they had better not support such useless legislation. If they do, they will soon find out that THIS is a subject they had better deal with in the right manner, or they will soon find themselves out of a job. There are already local officials now out of work because they support amnesty or leniancy toward illegals. Elected officials beware ... you are now on notice.

Answer 2

No, it is dead because they just wanted an issue to take away from the Iraqi war. It was never in the plans to pass any legislation.

Answer 3

Yes the latino vote does count. And I think they realize that now. I wrote my local senator, did you?
