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?

I did call, fax, email, etc, and yes I'm happy this bill failed. Will some one write up a bill that DOES make sense? Hope so.

I am thrilled that the bill died. My major concern was and is, if we can't enforce the laws we now have, how will writing more laws help?
I wrote and called both Boxer and Feinstein. What I got back was blah, blah, blah. No one on the phone or via email listened to my concerns, they tried to talk over them to voice their own opinions.
I will be working to end Ms. Boxer's career as a senator from CA. Feinstein might have a longer term, but I have a good memory, so her last day will come too.

only a heads up for you, no longer all illegals are MEXICAN! there's a miles better probability than Mexicans. the folk you're praising are those that only introduced in seventy 5.000 refugees from international places that are sympathizing with the Jihadists and Jamas communities! Did that positioned the caffeine on your coffee? in case you will project extra approximately Mexicans fairly than the folk we are battling against, and beleive it, those are those they are no longer going to deliver back! The refugees gets their Greencards and probability for Citizenship a good deal swifter than those that are on the checklist in different international places to get right here legally and 10 circumstances swifter than those illegals you hate lots who've legally paid taxes for 5 yrs or extra. sure, those are an identical human beings you're "so chuffed" for the determination they made. subsequent element you will could ask them is why are we looking after folk we are battling against. Gotta love our elected officers. do no longer be sheep!

We don't NEED a bill. We need to enforce the current laws. All that the bill that failed was going to do is bring them out of the woodwork and give them forgiveness for being illegal. The fees and going back home was still going to be an issue, only the fees and fines were going to be way higher than they would pay in the first place.

I sent faxes, wrote an e-mail to my Senator. I am glad that it didn't pass, but I am also upset because there's still the underlying problems - Our borders are porus, our laws aren't being enforced, and our politicians are too worried about giving these illegals automatic citizenship instead of focusing their attention on the real issue.

Are you people even aware of what the bill really said? See the link below. What you refer to as "amnesty" said that any illegal immigrants who voluntarily turned themselves in would be fined up to $5,000 and forced to return to their native countries for four years before they would be allowed to return and try for legal citizenship, a process that takes 8 to 13 years. That doesn't sound excessively lenient to me. This is "amnesty" only in comparison to the ones who choose not to become legal, who would be arrested and deported, probably permanently. What would you propose they do instead, hunt them down and shoot them? They're human beings too.
What you're calling "amnesty" is really an incentive for illegals to turn themselves in and save the government the trouble of tracking them down. Sure, it's a lighter penalty, but if it weren't, it wouldn't be an incentive. It's still a fine for committing a crime.

Yes, I a harrassed my Senators (the commie chicks from CA), but it didn't change thier votes.
I'm mildly relieved this latest attempt failed, but, I can't really be 'happy' about it, since the status quo also sucks, and the peevish backers of Amnesty will block any attempt at real reform in retaliation for not getting thier way.

I am! I have no problem with legal immigration. I just can not stand illegal immigration. Not to mention the political correctness that accompanies said issue. Not to mention how some political parties are ignoring the effects of illegal immigration. So these illegals will benefit their party in the upcoming election process. Selling out the whole country, just for a few votes. Are they not supposed to represent the legal citizens of this country. If the party that represents you will sell out for this, what will they not sell out for.
Peace!!! Love!!! Long live the Federal Republic of these United States. All those who dwell with in her(legally). All those who serve her!

I am and intend to work to get Boxer out. Feinstein is at the beginning of a 6 year term and may be planning to retire after that, but Boxer is fair game.

I am thrilled that it failed!
However, that does not negate the fact that our elected representatives are not listening to their constituents.
I called and e-mailed my representatives (Specter and Casey). Amazingly, Specter did not even have an "immigration" category on his e-mail web form!
We have all the legislation that we need right now. We just need to enforce the laws!
