Answer 1

Very much so. Yes.

What's this BIG rush all about? Why aren't we putting up that fence? Why aren't we deporting the known gang members and criminals before granting amnesty?

I'm beyond disgusted. Mark my words, this will go through while we're all sleeping. One morning we'll wake up to amnesty.

Answer 2

How can we have a North American Union with closed borders? We can't so that is why the borders are open. Dub-ya signed an agreement with Canada and Mexico back in 2001 that essentially brought this evil plan into existence! Since then the border patrol agents doing their jobs get prison time!
In order for this part of the total globalization to work there must be some parity between the countries so they are shoveling billions into Mexico while trying to pass the amnesty bill to turn us into a third word country just like Mexico complete with the totally corrupt police and government! The total cost of this bill including infrastructure and entitlements could exceed 2.4 TRILLION dollars over the next 10 years. Guess where this money is coming from?
They will be voting on this country destroying bill next week again so beat on your congress people every day till it is over! If you want your kids to grow up in a country called the United States of America you better.

Answer 3

Hmm.. no Im more concerned about the lies they've been telling us about Iraq since day one.

The immigration bill is a smokescreen to stir up public emotion over something other than the insane occupation we are maintaining.

"conservative bloggers?" Id rather talk to a 6 year old. At least a 6 year old might have something worthwhile to say.

Answer 4

Conservatives and liberals alike are betrayed by the open immigration policy. This Government has the ability, but not the intention, to control immigration in the south west sector of the USA. Lower ranking libs and cons always disagree with it, higher rankers always agree. Coincidence?

Answer 5

"Republican" and "Democrat" are the same exact party. That's why many "Democrats" support Bush's amnesty bill. Here's a mainstream news source below.

Both political parties are owned so I don't connect myself to either party for this reason.

Answer 6

Absolutely! I do feel betrayed by Bush also, even though I strongly supported him before. I don't think he is listening at all. I can only wonder why he would not only support the Immigration Reform Bill but really push it down our throats. I won't miss him when he's gone.

Answer 7

I'm a conservative, but not a Republican.

But, yes, I feel that they have betrayed us and all of the United States of America.

Answer 8

Very much. If they want to come here so bad, they can come here legally just like the others. It is not fair to grant them legal citizenship for being here illegally, when others had to do everything in their power to be granted citizenship. I do feel very betrayed. I stand by our President 100%, but this is one issue that I have to disagree with him on.

Answer 9

You seem to have RINOs confused with conservatives. I left the Republican party decades ago. I don't carry water for anyone any more. I vote the issues that concern me. Right now I would vote for Daisy Duke if I thought it would help. I am beginning to wonder if there is more than a score or two of people who know the difference between right and wrong left in this country.

Answer 10

I'm a libertarian so I am betrayed by congress every day. But this really is an outrage, the "trust us" provision of the amnesty bill. "Yeah, you can be darn sure we're gonna tighten things up down there this time." Yeah right.
