I heard that big names Democrats are pro amnesty such as Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Kennedy, Lieberman..?
Answer:
The Dems voted overwhelmingly against HR 4437, the bill approved by the House of Representatives. This was the enforcement only bill which is what the American people wanted.
The bill passed 239 to 182, with 36 Democrats joining 203 Republicans to vote yes. Seventeen Republicans, 164 Democrats and one independent opposed the measure.
The Senate "Amnesty Bill" S-2611 is not what the people want. It is ill conceived and grants amnesty to millions although, in our politically correct environment, they call it "path to citizenship"
Most members of the GOP majority in the Senate voted against the measure, with 23 backing it and 32 opposing. Among Democrats voting, 38 supported the bill and four did not. The chamber's independent Senator voted in favor.
It is clear that the Dems SUPPORT an amnesty plan and would not consider legislation without it. Considering that the Dems broadcast the State of the Union in SPANISH should give a clear indication of who the Dems are pandering to.
Poster above mentioned costs of deportation but did not mention the savings of deportation. The study did not include the costs of doing the paperwork to legalize them or the savings to social services. After 4 years the costs would be recovered and then it is money in the bank after that.
I am voting for Tom Tancredo for President!!!
True, Democrats are dead wrong on this Immigration issue just look for votes in 2008?
Hillary Clinton is yes, maybe, no!!! anything to fit her politic dreams
Barack Obama is for compromise amnesty
Kennedy is all out for blanket Amnesty
Lieberman is on with bush plans
I heard a blue and green goat lives on the far side of the moon.
Is it true?
Anything for more voters.
Well of course big name democrats are for amnesty of illegals. It can only ad to their voting base.
I would just like to point out to you that Barack Obama is not a Democrat, he is for the Republican party!!
Democrats support immigration reform such as allowing those millions of undocumented workers a chance to become documented residents (not automatic citizens) but it will not come without a penalty. They support familuy unity and allowing spouses of american citizens to adjust status in country without the use of the I-601 waiver, but they will also have to pay a penalty. No one will be given automatic citzenship, they will be offered an easier but expensive path.
For those that want to bash Democrats on immigration, Bush wants to allow immigrants into the coutry as well. His backers need the cheap labor so they can have higher profits.
Tom Tancredo is running for the Presidency in 2008. I was ELATED to say the very least. Guess who's getting MY vote?
HUH.... Both parties support it.... maybe it transends politics!
It makes sense to support Amnesty... if you look at studies on this it would cost over 200 Billion thats Billion with a "B" over 5 years to try to round up the close to 10 million illegals in the country that is figuring that 2 million will leave on their own. By offering resident alien or guest worker status we would have an idea of the location of these people.
Amnesty has happened 7 times in the last 10 years.
I am not a Democrat.... I do not support illegal activities... and I do believe that these people are here illegally... but we cant undo the past. This does need to be met with a stronger border and other measures and that is happening with the new passport regulations but more will need to be done.
Stop believing the nonsense a few people spout and research this yourself...
looking forward to see how many thumbs down this gets from all the mental midgets around this site! especially from those that didnt even read this
Tom Tancredo!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for asking.
I think many people confuse pro immigration reform with pro amnesty. Rutroh, you better be careful. People tend to get offended when other people give intelligent opinions. ;)
Yes, they are all for amnesty ... seems to be t he only thing they're siding with Bush and his business cronies on ... so, like a few other respondents have mentioned already, vote for Tom Tancredo! At least HE is interested in securing our borders ....
Most of the Dems who I have heard state a position have supported amnesty. I am unsure of Lieberman's position but if he runs for president I will check it out. I will not vote for anyone who supports amnesty because I do not believe in reward programs for committing a crime. I may support a program for allowing workers to come in with the proper documentation so long as they are given the same wages as an American is entitled and so long as the US citizens have first shot at the jobs.
You forgot John McCain and the rest of the republicans who voted for the Kennedy McCain bill.
Doesn't matter, I'm still voting for Hillary Clinton
Yes, very true. That is why we need a man like Tancredo, or Hunter, they want whats good for working class Americans, and could care less what big business wants. We here in Iowa also have a good man for either ones team in Steve King.
To expand their voting base, they will provide amnesty to as many illegals as possible regardless of their backgrounds and activities. Those people only care about hanging onto their office or getting a higher one to get more money and cover their own selves.
Yes it is. Kind of makes the whole fight on terrorism a joke doesn't it?
