How many people are happy this immigration bill failed?
Answer:
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 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'm happy but we still need to keep on them and get the changes this country truly needs.
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!
I'm beyond happy.I called senator Durbin and told his staff to tell him that he will be voted out for his support for amnesty and his insane comments on C-SPAN.I also called the ones who helped defeat it to thank them.DeMint,Hutchison,Sessions...
well will see what happen next
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.
everyone shut up ur all racsit asses and u know this land doesnt belong to u u stole some of it from mexicans!ok and if u guys sayimmagrants cant come here then mexicans can say americans cant go there for vacation!
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.
I'm elated! Now if we all can keep the pressure on maybe we can get the wall built and some laws enforced that are already on the books.
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!
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,and now we must go after the senators that want illegal immigration,that goes for democrats and republicans alike,starting with John McCain
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.

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.
