Have you seen what has been happening in DC?

Question

"As the president toured the Americas, talks between the principal sponsors of comprehensive immigration reform in the last Congress — Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)—reportedly reached a stalemate with Sen. McCain backing away from a lead role on the issue. That development, more than anything President Bush may have hoped to achieve in his attempt at regional diplomacy, currently defines the immigration debate within the halls of Congress.

The need for bipartisan cooperation on immigration reform coupled with the loss of visible leadership by Sen. McCain requires proponents of immigration reform to seek a new Republican champion. Finding that person, appears to be hostage to consultations the White House, through DHS Secretary Chertoff and Commerce Secretary Gutierrez, is currently holding with Senate Republicans.

Until those
talks, reportedly aimed at finding guiding principles for immigration reform, conclude it is difficult to see any high profile Senate Republican stepping in to fill the important role abandoned by McCain.

That President Bush time and again pointed to this intra-party discussion, when questioned about the prospects for immigration reform during his stops in Mexico and Guatemala, underscores that internal political machination, more than any sense of regional context, is guiding the current discussion of immigration reform in Congress."

Sessions was talking about this, as I posted yesterday. What do you think?

Larry, I understand there are going to be hearings on the truck deal. Bush presented it to Congress as a fait accomplis, but they are looking into it.

Answer 1

While this cherade is going on in the nation's capital
thousands of illegal Mexicans are pouring into the country
across the full spectrum of the border lands of this nation
not only unchecked but with the full knowledge of the Federal government and in some cases -- their assistance !! So, all of this crap you're speaking of here is nothing more than a "show" for the public to make it look as though they are doing something in way of unholding some standard on the immagration guidelines while in actuality none at all actually exists !!!
Two weeks ago -- the Federal government and the Texas authorities gave full carte blanche to over 100 Mexican trucking companies to have full access with NO BORDER CHECKS AT ALL at the U S--Mexico Border !!! NO BORDER CHECKS REQUIRED FOR FULL ACCESS---now what cargo do YOU expect that they will be carrying ????

And, what sense is WHAT they're saying in DC ---OR WHO is saying it --- if what is taking place is the wholesale kicking down of the borders already in play ???

Answer 2

the whole immigration issue really upsets me. What happened to illegal is illegal??? just close the borders and enforce the laws of this country. It would be hard at first, but would end up being better for the country then to let things go on like they are now. I swear, if someone is here illegally, deport them.. It doesn't matter how long they have been here or if they are trying to live a good life. The fact is they are here illegally. To me it is no different then someone who murdered someone and then is caught 10 years or so later. If he has stayed out of trouble, should we just forget about what he did?? no.. we would go after and prosecute him for the crimes he committed.
So we should all come together and support getting rid of illegal immigration. There would be heck to pay at the beginning, but it would save alot of pain in the long run. Our schools would improve, our healthcare system would improve, the crime rate would go down, our prison overcrowding would go down, and the terrorist threat of someone coming into the country would be decreased..

Answer 3

I think that they need to start worrying about protecting these United States and not Mexico and illegal aliens!

And I happen to be very much a Democrat...I just have seen at first hand what illegals have done to this country!

Answer 4

Look. This is just another sign that this country is headed down the toilet. I don't even have to read that full story to know that.

The question is: what are we going to do about it?

Answer: apparently, nothing.

Answer 5

Now that president Bush is back in Anglo America maybe he can do something about pushing this issue forward. But I doubt it. I'm starting to think that this issue will not be touched until after the next presidential elections.

[edited to add]

to Aaron: Are you kidding?! lol can you imagine what would happen if we start deporting 12 million Americans back to where they came from? There would be an about face with all the American nations we DEPEND on. Keep in mind that the United States is not self-sufficient, not by any stretch of the imagination. If they choose to not deal with us all AT ONCE they would bring us down to our knees in a matter of months. We can more than handle all of them if we deal with them ONE AT A TIME but if they gang up against us all at once we would have to beg for mercy.

Think man, think!

Answer 6

"Now that president Bush is back in Anglo America maybe he "

That statement certainly convinces me their is no racism. Like i have said it before white Americans are getting their just dues. People just keep reading. Every once in a while they forget themselves and they bare their fangs.
