Grass Roots Roared and Immigration Plan Collapsed

[jamesa46]

I hope you will all take the time to read this article and yes it's from the New York Times so you left wing liberals can't scream that it came from a right wing rag.

Plus, I hope all of you have been e-mailing your Texas Senators and supporting them on the flak they have been receiving from the senate dems such as Ted Kennedy and even from moderates such as John McCain who tried to cram this amnesty immigration bill down our throats.

Our Texas Senator John Cornyn has especially been attacked for his opposition to an immigration bill that rewards criminals who donot respect the rule of law in our country. Especially from John McCain whom Senator Cornyn took to task on the Senate floor in front of the rest of the senate. Mr. McCain proceeded to blast our Senator with a tirade of F-U's but Cornyn stood his ground.

I have e-mailed our Senators weekly, especially Senator Cornyn expressing our support for what he has been doing and that we stand behind him for the verbal attacks he has received from McCain and others in the Senate who tried to cram this amnesty program for criminals down our throats.

There wasn't even a provision in this immigration bill for weeding out violent criminals, rapists and child molesters until our Senator Cornyn forced the Senate to include a provision for making sure our local law enforcement agencies are contacted when one of these violent illegal immigrants attempt to enter our country!

Here is a link where you can contact your state representatives and your U.S. Representatives and U.S. Senators:

Contact your Texas Senators and congratulate them for protecting the rights and citizens of the state of Texas. You need to let them know that we support their efforts because it is because of them and others like them that this immigration bill in the senate was finally sent where it belonged...in the garbage can.


Grass Roots Roared and Immigration Plan Collapsed
New York Times

"Her strong feelings about the immigration issue came gradually, she said. A nephew who works as a house painter had trouble finding high-paying work because of competition from illegal immigrants. Some Mexican teenagers hassled her on the street, seeming to mock her because she walks with a cane. She spotted immigrants shopping with food stamps at the grocery store.

Mrs. Thibodeaux said she favored orderly legal immigration, but did not think illegal immigrants should benefit from American generosity.

“I have a very hard time with illegal,” she said. She proposes that all illegal immigrants be given a 90-day period to leave voluntarily. After that, immigration agents, local police and the National Guard, if necessary, should be mobilized to deport them, she said."

Thanks, James. We need to do all we can to defeat this immigration bill. We don't need to add more legalized criminals to the population.

Fixing immigration is very easy. No jobs, no unwanted immigrants. Put the onus on the employers, contract and regular, and you will get a quick fix.

Case in point, the construction industry is in decline. The number of folks caught crossing the border has dropped significantly. Why, no jobs. They do not come unless someone here has a job for them and if the penalty for knowingly hiring illegal workers was a stiff one the influx would slow to a dribble.

Congress does not want to fix the issue. If they did it would be fixed.

Chong had it right:

"be@ner$, be@ner$. be@ner$ ......like to eat beans!"

These c*ck roaches need to keep their asses in Mexico. You look around at these a**holes and you see them with their Mexican flags and crap showing their "pride" in that hell hole. If Mexico is so damned great and they are so proud of it, why are they all coming here?

Why don't you tell us how you really feel? I agree with you 100%.

The piece of garbage that Kennedy and his other bloodsucking liberals introduced known as the new "immigration bill" has had some new cosmetic work done to it while it sits lining the bird cages of most americans in this country.

Rep. Tom Tancredo successfully had an amendment added to the House bill that states that all so-called "safe zone" cities that protect illegal aliens will lose all their federal funding.
Good for Tom!

Our own Senator Cornyn successfully added to the senate bill an amendment that required immigration offices to alert all local and state authorities of any illegal alien who enters the country that has a record as a violent criminal, child molester or rapist.
The democrats didn't even bother with including this in the original bill because many immigrants would be fearful of coming forward under the amnesty program should this be included. The damn criminals SHOULD be fearful!
They should be fearful of spending the next 40 years in the penitentiary if they are caught in this country!

Mr. Bush and his democrat party can expect this immigration bill to rot in the trash can if they donot come up with a plan that honors the rule of law, protects our borders, protects americans and legal immigrants, stops giving money away to people who donot respect our laws and stops giving automatic citizenship to every baby that pops out of an illegal alien who sneaks into this country to suck the blood of all legal citizens of this country.

Also, any immigrant will be required to learn how to speak english.

And finally, the billions of dollars it has cost this country so far to pay for Mexico's citizens who sneak into this country will be billed for every penny it has cost us and if Mexico refuses to step forward and take responsibility for it's own citizens and refuses to ante up, our government should sieze Mexico's international bank accounts just as we do with terrorists organizations.

It's time for those drug- runners operating the mexican government to pay the bill for their own mess they have created.
