Amnesty Passed (Representatives, Reagan, illegal, border)

[cremebrulee]

I felt so devestated, so betrayes, when I hear they Passed the Amnesty bill yesterday and when I saw the votes, I was even more devestated, actually shocked that they threw us all under the bus.
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...

It was only the Senate, right? From what I understand, the House is preparing their own bill.

Why don't you blame the American businesses who encourage this instead?

I can see your confusion. If you believe it is "amnesty", then I see why you think it has "passed".

It's the government that can't take care of the border.

11-20 million illegals and you're blaming business ?
Business is taking advantage of the open door policy and the lenient slap on the hand of government.

Blame government first and foremost. They allowed this to happen.
And this is what the Reagan "reform" brought us.
This amnesty will be no different.
And the next wave of illegals will start flooding the nation.
We've seen this story before and we know how it ends.

I would not worry. You can probably still get that lawn-mowing job you have had your eye on.

Boehner says he won't bring the bill up on the floor. Yes, they are preparing their own version of the bill. So, maybe, there's still hope.

b/c they were not the ones who voted for it....it's their panseys that did, and again, they sold us out.

yes, however, like I said, what bothers me is they sold us out...

I mean, this goes beyond common sense....

loyalty to the citizens of the U.S. surely not betrayal for political reasons....

and what is to come? If they are doing something like this, what else are they doing?

First, it only passed the Senate. It still has to get through the totally dysfunctional house (currently at an approval rating about 1/4 of Nixon's right after he was impeached).

Second, unless you are 100% Native American, you too are descendent from immigrants. Who the heck are you to tell OTHER immigrants they aren't welcome?
