Some slick career politicians are trying to slide more immigration reform changes in with another bill in the senate---------do you know where your senators stand on the invasion of America?
The media does not cover this travesty----surprise-surprise.

More Specific? Sure----If memory serves I think it is neatly tucked inside some defense appropriations bill----According to our friends at the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), a newly-introduced bill gives millions of illegal aliens what they want -- AMNESTY -- despite promises of tougher enforcement. As noted by Ira Mehlman of FAIR, "Really what it does is it grants amnesty to just about everybody who's been in the country illegally before June 1, 2006, so that encompasses just about everybody who's in the country illegally right now."
The “STRIVE Act of 2007†(Security Through Regularized Immigration and a Vibrant Economy), introduced by Congressmen Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ), is similar to the Senate bill put forward last year by Senators Ted Kennedy and John McCain. Kennedy even praised the Gutierrez-Flake bill, and said he was optimistic a new Senate bill will follow!

Tacking something on an unrelated bill is simply a dirty way of getting something through that the majority do not want by threatening to take away something they do. It makes a Congressman that votes against it look bad because the media only reports that he killed the good portion.....not the reason he did ....namely the add-on.
The public should pass an initiative that for a Congressman to pick up his paycheck he must sign an "add-on" that he will not take any more "campaign contributions" delivered in plain brown wrappers or "fact-finding" trips to Tahiti.

I have already made my point clear to the Republican Party as I received my fund raising requests. I replied not with a check but with a statement that due to the attempts by some to grant a safe haven for illegal aliens I cannot, in good conscience, donate to those candidates directly or indirectly through the Party coffers. While I fully intend to donate more funds than ever before I have decided to donate directly to the campaigns of candidates who are on the right side of this issue.
I think everyone from any party should do the same.

Yeah, I'm up to date on that one. It is sad that our elected officials do exactly what the majority of the people don't want them to. surprise-surprise
