Well last time the Americans had no representation in government and all diplomatic means failed a bunch of farmers gave the world most powerful nation a bloody nose and won their independence.
To quote Jefferson "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." I am not advocating any action of the sword(at this time), I’m just stating that the people lost representation in government once before and ending up doing what was needed to get it back. |

Too many are too busy seeking wealth, the latest and greatest everything and keeping up with the jones's.
They work, pay taxes and finacially support the very insurgents that seek to destroy their way of life. But as long as they have cable, fat bellies and an SUV they don't care and do nothing. The majority is silent and castrated. Learn spanish it'll serve you well when serving your new masters. |

Ask for a reimbursment. Seriously. |

Only an attack will wake up the fat cats in Washington D.C. I now say let the borders be opened and let as many of them come as they want, including Al-Qaeda... let them blow shit up and then maybe, only maybe will they get a fucking clue.
|
|
Have our politicians lost their freakin' minds?
Hell yes!!!! The people who are "representing" us have to be some of the dumbest people on God's green earth. Study ROME, baby. Witness the death of the free Republic. |

I can't believe how many of you guys are falling for a "report" on Republicans from Nancy Pelosi's office as reported on CNN.
I can't believe how many of you guys believe anything from Pelosi about anything. |

Hell will freeze over before I give the two polictical parties a dime again.

Don't be silly! Of course they won't be buying Garands from the CMP. They will be getting them for free as part of their welcome packages. On a serious note (directed to Arfcommers in general), do we really care if the House backs down from the felony provision? Do we really want to spend tons of money building prisons and hiring guards so we can lock up 12 million illegal aliens as felons? Wouldn't it be much cheaper, easier and all-around better to simply deport them? I think what we really need is to enforce existing laws, streamline the deportation process, deport those aliens who are here now illegally, and finally secure the borders to halt the ongoing influx of new and repeat illegal aliens. After that we can have a reasoned discussion about how much legal immigation is ideal for both this country and those potential immigrants who want to become good Americans. We don't need to declare anything a felony to do all that. We just have to have the fortitude to enforce existing laws. After all, illegal aliens are already illegal! I would think that we, as gun owners, would be more aware of the pointlessness of declaring things that are already illegal as "more illegal". After all, we've faced enough stupid anti-gun legislation that does just that, and we rightly condemn it in that arena when we see it. Is my thinking on this muddled? |

It's something to do before we arrive at the point of shooting people. At least many will be able to "honestly" say they tried other more peaceful means. |

Note to self, hang out at the survival forum and absorb as much info, go out and get survival supplies, and..................
BUY MORE AMMO! |

The don't represent us -- never have. They represent special interest groups. In this case, business. It is business who wants cheap labor and business always gets what it wants. ALWAYS. |

"The Constitution of the United States of America
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, and fuck illegal mexicans up on the border, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." |
|
It is clear that the elected politicians no longer serve the people who put them there to do a job. The SCOTUS, House, Senators, and Jeorge are no longer abiding by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The USA is being sold out. The CoC doesnt allow the rest of my feelings. |
|

Settle down guys... UNLESS YOU WANT AMNESTY, THIS HAS TO HAPPEN... Lib Version -> Total Amnesty + GOP Version (Felony) -> Guest Workers from Mexico (eg more legal immigrants), no amnesty |
||
|
Voting doesn't work........they get replaced by new bastards! |
|
|
+1 Sensenbrenner is/was my congressman back home... I agree with your assessment... That said, here's what I see passing 1) Fence 2) Guest Worker program for those NOT here illegally 3) Provision for illegal immigrants to apply for GW status from mexico or from INS detention if they turn themselves in. The libs will not get amnesty, we will not get felonization. as allways, it will be a meeting IN THE MIDDLE. |
|
|
I certainly hope this will get all of you to start voting...
from the rooftops... |
|
+1. I don't even mind if we grant citizenship to everyone who;s already here, as long as we close the border. The "Build a Big-Ass Wall" bill doesn't need to be tied to any other immigration reform. |
|
|
The whole Felony provision was destined to fail. Even if it were passed, we realistically have no room for that many felons in prison. Would you really want to pay to feed and cloth every invading illegal alien while giving up valuable space that child rapists and drug dealers should be taking up? Isn't that what we are pissed about? Tax dollars going to illegals? We should be this excited in a new truth in sentencing for the current criminals in our system.
It would be much cheaper to just build a wall, patrol the border with zero tolerance and ship the illegal invaders back to where they came from. The other part is that a tax paying illegal alien is a better citizen than a Bubba sitting on his brains collecting welfare. |
|
We ought to be recycling white trash along with the ililegal invaders. Ship the leaches down to Mexico to work.
|

OK, let's calm down and think about this.
Politics is the art of the possible. The House Repubs probably put a few provisions in there with the intent of bargaining them away to give the other side some victories to crow about. WHO FUCKING CARES IF IT IS A FELONY??? It is already a crime; it is already grounds for deportation; making a felony merely adds TONS of time, due process, and expense to an already clogged process. We don't need felonization; we need POLITICAL WILL TO ENFORCE LAWS ON THE BOOKS. Making it a felony only makes us feel good about the concept of "punishment." It ain't gonna deter any more border jumpers. They can already do up to a year in jail. Ask yourself this: do you want the illegals DEPORTED, or JAILED FOR OVER A YEAR? |

Responding to Tuesday's criticism of Democrats by Hastert and Frist, Jennifer Crider, a spokeswoman for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, said "no amount of spin can change the fact that Republicans wrote and passed the Sensenbrenner bill, which criminalizes an entire population."
Maybe thats because they are an entire population of criminals. They crossed the border Illegally. What country in this world is that not a crime. Or death sentence? |
|
Dude, FELONS CAN'T VOTE. THAT IS WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT! |
||
|
This is how civil wars are started. |
|||
|
FELONS CAN'T VOTE! It doesn't matter if you hold them for one day before deporting them. They are then recorded and prohibited from voting. |
|
|
FELONS CAN'T VOTE! There, that should get the point across. |
|
|
this man here understands it. Nothing will ever change if we as voters don't put our feelings and views on these matters in place. Big assed + 1 from me. |
|
|
Wrong. Felons aren't supposed to vote. If illegals are signing up to vote, and the registrars aren't confirming US citizenship, how the fuck are they checking felon status? And do you guys have any idea how long it takes to get a felony conviction in the courts? |
||
|
You know it's bad when illegals have more political pull than legal firearms's owners.
|
|
and I get one step closer to packing up my shit and leaving...
|
|
It's pretty bad when the Mexican government has more pull than legal US citizens. |
|
|
It has nothing to do with whether they can vote if they are convicted felons. Most states allow felons to vote. If they are convicted of a felony. They are inelgible for citizenship ever. They will also be in a lot more databases, and have their finerprints on file. And if they sneak back across after being caught they are going to jail not just being sent back across the border to try again. I think making it a felony is a good thing, most countrys treat it as a felony or worse. Gunshots, razor wire and minefeilds. I also think its high time way past fucking due, that Employers are charged with felonys for hiring them |

I would too right about now pal. You see the whole issue is being clouded with words. Legal immigration was what this country was founded on. It is these legal immigrants that helped build this country through hardship and sacrafice. They helped defend it by serving in our military. For this we owe them our respect and graditude. I don't recall hearing of any illegal serving in the military. You see calling an illegal alien a immigrant is like calling a burglar an unwanted guest. |

What are you, twelve? If you feel so strongly about voting from the rooftops, you must be a terrible shot; I haven't heard a peep about you on the news. |
|
|
From your post, to Gods ears! |
|
|
Why don't they tell them if you are caught illegally you will be deported and can never apply for citizenship. That make put some teeth in the stuff they are proposing.
|
|
easy gang...
ever care to think that this issue has been brought up just to "rock the vote". why all of a sudden now? why not in 2000? why not before the 2004 election? this issue has been around for at least 25 YEARS.... the Dems are trying to show that Bush/Republicans is/are weak on National Security and Immigration. you are all taking the bait....shame shame. Reality = this will remain a issue for the next election and the one after that.... forever |
