Just cannot believe, our representatives would do this to America? All I can do is sit and shake my head in disgust, which now even more then ever, proves to me, that Washington Is most certain corrupt and incapable of running Washington and our country.

I'd have never believed they would have rushed this Amnesty bill through like this, just to pass it, before they specifically looked at a Bill to close down our boarders, and to rejuvinate our illegal immigration system first, making certain that all our T's were crossed and our i's were dotted.

Incompetence and disgusting...that they did this to us? They sold us out....slapped us in the face, and I can't help but think, what the heck else are they going to do to us...all for political power and to heck with the citizens of the U.S., who cares about them....

disgust and betrayal...

Don't worry, the House has already said it's dead in the water as far as they're concerned.

Yes, the house is in process of slapping on the pork.

Hope for what? If the House will prepare its own version of the bill, then that means it's still an "immigration reform" aka amnesty bill. Why don't they come up with a no-amnesty bill instead?

evidence to support this?
I have no doubt that they will, but I am hoping that they actually put some real teeth in this bill.

We can hope that they will. We can hope that at least a little common sense will prevail.

So what? We should reward his parents for violating our immigration laws by allowing their son to remain here? I don't think so! Where is you proof that it is only the idle and lazy that feel threatened by illegal immigration? Spin, much? I am neither of those things and most Americans that I know of that are opposed to this mess are not either. If someone can't find a job or has been replaced by an illegal for cheap profit that makes them idle and lazy? Please stop the spin.

Regardless how idle, lazy, ignorant someone is we still lose thousands of troops a year defending those US Citizens.

Bottom line, I don't understand why it is soooo hard to get this?

secure the boarder, tightly, then reform the illegal immigrants bill...get them all to do their fair share, by becoming legal citizens and if not and they are caught, they are deported.

They pay taxes like everyone else, and if they are working they cannot collect welfare.

I saw a talk show last evening, and one woman said, in school they are teaching the illegal immigrant children, how to take advantage of the system, can you imagine, so in they're little minds, breaking the law means nothing..... they are told to go home and share this information with they're parents....and WE have to pay for this????????

I don't know about any of you, but this disgusts me....especially when I think of my grand parents, who came over on a boat, that ran out of food b/c they hit storms...when they got here, my nana told me, there was a woman selling pies, and my nana sat on a street corner and ate the whole pie, b/c she was so hungry. She told me how happy they were to have had the opportunity to be here, and how hard it was to learn the language, but they did...they started they're own business, and did very well for themselves...and became legal citizens. She said, "What a priviledge it is to be living in the U.S."

It really is a privilege and we see that because millions want to come here. You don't see them breaking out, as they tried to do from the Soviet Union, or East Germany. They're breaking in!

The President said that this is no longer an exceptional country, but they're proving him wrong. It is and always will be.

I think these illegals have a different mindset. They are survivors, and do not think that breaking a law is a big deal to get what they want especially as they think they're not hurting anyone in the process. And, especially as they see that nothing happens to those that do break our laws.
