I just e-mailed my senators and congressman stating my disgust with any such program. Who else will take 5 minutes to send an e-mail?

Good for you I pretty much call, fax or email my reps every day. We need to continually remind these reps that the majority of Americans are against amnesty and want immigration laws enforced and the border secure. They need to be hammered with our disgust before the amnesty bill is even introduced.

I can't remember the last time I went to a Danish restaurant (nor even if there IS such a thing); but I suppose if I had to undergo open-heart surgery, or do a stretch in prison, Denmark would be preferable to Libya, or Pakistan.

Then again, this is only a 'generality'....
That is plausible: the flip side of law and order indeed tends to be 'boredom'--------which I will definitely take over anarchy.

You weren't telling the truth, much less making any kind of a point.

Certainly you jest...right??

It's hopeless. That's the LAST thing I need...a long assignment of extensive reading and research, so that I can feel 'stupid' afterward....GREAT. I guess the American Race is just an unfair bunch, and that's all I need to know.

If I want to feel STUPID, I can do that without all the effort....sorry, juliangty....

Btw, as long as the economy is fine by 2012, Obama should win re-election EASILY. I just don't see the republicans coming into power anytime soon.
From the reaction to the last try I don't think so. Co ingress was over whelmed by voters against any amnesty. I am sure now it will be even stronger regardless of who they voted for. Heck;last time even Bush would have signed but it never got that far. my guess is congress will either quash the legislation by not allowing it on the floor or they will vote heavily against it to show the public they are ready to be reelected without this on their backs.The last vote was exactly why suddenly the fence got funding after waiting since the 80's law.Its time for congress to keep the pledge to shutdown illegals after giving the amnesty in the 80's as they promised.Hit employer hard that employ them also.I thnik the anti amnesty will be even stronger in e-mail and callig thsi time around. Obama will not even see teh bill because again it will not pass. Doesn't matter what is promised aftre the 80's bill did the same thing.

Your post hurts my eyes. Could you have used a couple of carriage returns at least?
