Here we go again, the anti-immigrant crowd killed the immigration bill again, why?
Answer:
The so called immigration bill was nothing more that a way to let people who broke our laws get away with it. Do you think thatt if enough people broke the speed limit that we should change the law just to allow them to get out of any kind of punishment? Where will it end?
Laws have to be made before there is a problem as hugh as this is, there are good laws on the books, but they are not enforced. I will keep calling and emailing until they are enforced and the people that have trespassed in my country are gone, and the people that hire them are fined.
Immigration needs to be regulated and it is the reason that the Immigration Bill was not approved.
Calling the killing of this bill Racist just shows how Ignorant you are to the facts of the legislation and the problems of Illegal Immigration...
There were flaws in this bill that would have been unethical to pass.
The only "repub" that is racist is Martinez!
As many Democrats as myself doesn't want this bill either, mad at the illegals coming into our country taking over! We go to war in Iraq and you scum bags come in and start taking over. I think its very odd soldiers go off to war and suddenly you roaches from mexico start your ****. Is this war in Iraq really about killing off Americans so the roaches can take over?
This poorly written legislation was killed by an almost equal number of Democrats and Republicans. It was truly bipartisan killed, so your comment to slam the Republicans is unwarranted and shows your liberal bias. Generally, the only people that use the "race" label are minorities that have no other argument to push their agenda. I suspect you are one of these people.
The issue with this bill was mainly the amnesty being bestowed upon some 12 million illegals here breaking our laws and refusing to assimilate into our culture. Poll after poll clearly showed that the general public did not want amnesty, yet the politicians continued on with their blind pursuit.
The lawful Americans are fed up with the poor performance of our congressional leadership and their refusal to represent the people that elected them. It took millions of people calling their respective elected representatives to convince them this was something that every poll showed, 82% of the legal population did not want amnesty. They are stupid if they cannot see this simple fact.
i laughed so hard when i saw the word "racist" on your details. how can you be so shallow and ignorant? like i say, its always easier to cry "racist" rather than to look at the facts and having a nice debate.
Since when is protecting what ive worked hard for and wanting the government to put CITIZENS first racist?? maybe since the time when you were no longer able to provide any more arguments for your position.
It it more correct to say that it was the anti-illegal immigration crowd that killed the bill. All we want is that immigration be done legally not illegally.
Nobody is racist, and anyone who says that it is racism, they are only trying to create something that is not there.
We are not racist my friend but we are defending our countries sovereignty.
Now we write an enforcement only bill that goes after employers of Illegal Immigrants and emigrants; if you hire a person unlawfully in the US you go to prison and your company is subject to liquidation.
Thank God it failed! You should read ALLLLL the laws already on the books regarding illegal ALIENS and then you wouldn't say something so unintelligent!
Republicans and Democrats are the just two sides of the same coin.
Let's just arrest ILLEGAL trying to enter the USA without going through the legal channels--seize their assets--and enforce the Border Laws--100's of them we already have!
Thank God there are some sane people in the Senate. Thank God Bush got defeated!! And that stupido Tedddddy the drunk Kennedy.
Maybe Bush is drinking buddies with him now??
I'm neither a racist nor Republican. I am an American,and I want our laws ENFORCED.
Secure the border, then talk about what to do with the 12-20 million or we will be dealing with 20-30. Just common sense.
No we killed the "illegal" immigrant bill
You sir are the idiot. Senator Sessions and the people like him are heroes, who bucked the so-called popular wisdom and opposed an immoral and illegal act to open our borders to anyone who wants to cross them with no restrictions. I do not oppose immigration, I believe that controlled immigration is necessary for our country's health. But I want to stop the continued bleeding across our borders of gangsters, criminals, terrorists and those who decide that they don't have to do things legally and they can flaunt the laws of our country. If I were to cross the border illegally into Mexico, would the Mexicans treat me to amnesty and forgive me? No, they actually enforce their strict immigration laws with stiff punishments, all the while telling us we should not enforce our laws. Shame on the Republicans and Democrats who tried to push this horrible law on us! They are traitors to our country and all should be defeated in the next election. I will not vote for anyone who supported this or any other such bill.
Bill was defeated because it was WRONG for America!!
Nothing about being racist, so stop playing the race card when something doesn't go your way!!
Why? Because amnesty is wrong. Illegal aliens have no right to American jobs, homes, health care or access to schools. The people that hire them should be sent to prison. If illegal aliens want these rights then they will need to go through the legal process.
Perhaps you don't remember the Simpson-Mazzoli act which passed in 1986. The American people were promised that the bill would secure the border and punish businesses which hired illegal aliens as workers in exchange for a one time amnesty. Those promises weren't kept then and they have not been kept since. Congress continues to pass laws which are not enforced. The American people want a secure border BEFORE we do anything about the 20 million criminal invaders already here. We have to obey the laws. We expect others to do likewise - regardless of their skin color, ethnicity, gender or religion.
You, sir, are a fool, a tool ,and a stool of nonsense. American voters (liberal, conservative, independent alike) should be outraged that this bill of incomprehensible "nincompoopery" was written in the first place. It was a testament to how out of control we have allowed our government to become. American citizen opposition to the bill is not mean-spirited, racist or even anti-immigrant - it is wise and the first step towards safeguarding our future.
