Senate Panel Approves Immigration Amnesty Bill


The Senate Judiciary Committee approved election-year immigration legislation Monday that clears the way for millions of undocumented workers to seek U.S. citizenship without having to first leave the country.

After days of street demonstrations that stretched from California to the gounds of the U.S. Capitol, the committee also voted to strip out proposed criminal penalties for residents found to be in this country illegally.

The panel's vote cleared the way for the full Senate to begin debate Tuesday on the emotional immigration issue.

"All Americans wanted fairness and they got it this evening," said Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (news, bio, voting record), the Massachusetts Democrat who played a pivotal role in drafting the legislation, approved 12-6.

Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., voted for the bill but signaled that some of the provisions could well be changed by the full Senate.

In general, the bill is designed to strengtehn border patrol, create new opportunities for so-called guest workers and determine the legal future of the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the United States illegally.

At several critical popints, committee Democrats were united while Republicans splintered. In general, GOP Sens. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina, Sam Brownback of Kansas and Mike DeWine of Ohio, who is seeking re-election this fall, sided with Democrats.

That gave Democrats a majority that allowed them to shape the bill to their liking.

This country is making a big mistake.  This is all about new voters to help the Dems, and the Pub's can't be seen as opposing the Hispanic vote.

We're screwed.

I think when its time to ETS again, Im gonna get out and jump ship for good.  The US is going down in flames quick, decisions like this make me fear for my family and our well being.  If I decide to stay in the states it will be somewhere remote, conservative, and Christian; surrounded by like-minded real Americans.

I already fired a letter to Senator George Allen.

I would write to Senator John Warner, but he is nearly senile and is probably looking forward to being allies with Feinstein and Kennedy.

I agree, but we need to act quickly to get as many opposition letters to our Senators so they KNOW, explicitly, that there is an overwhelming majority of LEGAL citizens who don't want this to happen.

ETA:  I don't even want it to MAKE it to the House.  At all.  I want the Senators to vote it down and stomp it out.  I even went so far as to demand George Allen seek to outlaw "anchor babies".

Our elected leaders are totally lacking in both balls and brains. None of them are no longer willing to do what is right for this nation. I am almost to the point of giving up. This nation is a lost cause.

Fuck those hypoctitical traitors!  They know EXACTLY how the conservative republicans like me feel about this issue!  I sweated blood to get these asshats elected ever since I was old enough to vote (starting with Ronald Reagan who was definitely not an asshat, I love him) and they stab us in the back like this.

I hope every single republican loses in November and I damned sure am not voting for the republican presidential candidate in 2008.  May they eat shit and die.

Read the article/Link. Thousands of protests today. Here in Dallas, thousands of kids cut school to protest. TV of them all day running around waving Mexican flags and shouting Viva Mexico. It is not illegal immigration, it is an invasion of folks who do not even want to be Americans.

The House won't pass it, we will still have the same laws and ineffective enforcement next year. Face it, we are a Welfare state now and it is only a matter of time before they ALL sell us out in order to win the votes of the freeloaders. The politicians only want to get elected, that means the good of the country is not even considered in the equation

Letter to Senators Mel Martinez (R-FL) and Bil Nelson (D-FL):

Dear Senator,

    I am writing to most strongly urge you to oppose any bill granting amnesty to illegal immigrants and not holding those who help illegal immigrants accountable for their crimes.  My wife and I see illegal immigration as the single greatest threat to America today, and the current legislation being proposed is a step in the wrong direction.  Politicians seem to be forgetting that illegal immigration is a crime, and those who commit it are criminals.  Illegal immigrants are not "guests", "migrants", or any other politically correct term.  They are criminals who have invaded our country illegally and who cause great harm to our security and economy.
    Any legislation that does not hold these criminals and those who help them 100% accountable is a slap in the face of every immigrant who came to this country legally and worked long and hard to earn the right to call themselves American.
   Senator, I once again urge you to accept nothing but a tough stance on illegal immigrants.

Very Respectfully,
Mr. and Mrs. Tanerite



I'm doing my part.  I urge you all to do the same.  Feel free to copy/paste my letter.

This type of thing is good I have decided.

It is like the adage about the frog being cooked slowly in the frying pan.  It is heated so slowly that it doesn’t realize it is being cooked until it is too late to jump.

America will fall, that is inevitable.  It is best to quicken the fall, so we can be better prepared to build what will come next.  

I welcome the chaos that unlimited immigration from the 3rd world will bring, because that is the only thing that will awaken Joe 6-pack from his beer and ball games and Sally soccer-mom from her daily Opra fix.

Diversity will prove beneficial in the long run.

That is the problem, and the fact they are too stupid to see it falling apart around them.

Diversity is what made this country great, a meeting of the cultures "El pluribus del unum."  The downfall brought ot us by our current Latin invaders, is brought on by their hatred towards us.  A cultural jealousy if you may.

Rome fell for many reasons.  Because they were cocky and arrogant, they bit off more than they could chew.  The empire collapsed paritally due to slow communications, the hiring of mercenaries to fight their wars, drinking from lead pipes.  Or it could be due to those "crazy" Germans, wanting to be free.  The battle of the Tuetoburg Forest, read up on it (Rome lost their 7th, 8th, and 9th Legions).  Look at your European History, the Latin people weren't so kind to our Ancestors over there, whether they came from mainland Europe or the British Isles.   What make you think their descendants are going to be kind to us in modern times?  Especially after years of being brought up hating us "Anglos."

Make no mistakes about the Conquistador, he may very well be an extension of the Roman Empire this day in age.  The events of the present are a direct consequence of history.  We will end up suffering for our own inaction, and the byproduct of European Colonialism.  Whether it be Spanish, French, or English.


And I didn't even get into the slaughter of the Native peoples in South America, whole civilizations were wiped out.  Cultures lost forever, don't you guys remember anything from school.  They were on a quest for gold, glory and God.  While they majority of our anscestors came to escape craptacular conditions in Europe, and to practice religious freedoms.
