Stupid Senate
Not a very creative title, I know. But it's what I keep thinking. Stupid Senate. I know you're worried about your votes and your upcoming elections and now that the Sugarland (I think its district 32?) District in Texas is wide open, you want as many people in the booth as possible hitting the switch for your team.
But co-me on! What in the heck are you doing? Amnesty for those that have been here five years but not those that have been here less than that? And oh, more importantly, how the royal heavy balloon do you think you're going to enforce this law when you can't enforce the old one?
And why - why! - is Washington listening to a bunch of hormone hopped up teenagers who are being truant (read: breaking the law) instead of the millions of actual voters in this country? The polls have shown that American's don't want Amnesty. That's a majority of American's too, not just the right leaning ones. Why? Because a bunch of American's live in Southern Cali, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas, and those American's are directly affected by this issue.
But wonder of wonders, dear old Washington isn't affected, and as such we get this bogus compromise from people that can't even pass a budget effectively.
I agree with the others, the only way to really stop illegal immigration is to enforce strict punishments on employers who hire them, and to not allow illegals access to welfare programs. And since we all know THATS never going to happen, we might as well just sit back, work our butts off, and let the illegals reap the benefits of what we sow.
Don't worry everyone, in three years, the taxes will be raised to cover the massive debt we've accumulated and we'll just raise it on up to cover the cost of the amnesty Congress is proposing. Cheer up young workers. You're going to put money into lots of things you'll never see. Might as well add illegal immigrants to the list. As an added bonus, they wont put the money they get back into the economy, they'll just send it all back to Mexico.
Vive Mexico! Screw the United States!

Add this to your stack of stuff about illegal immigration. The following is from Rush Limbaugh's Thursday program.
"All right, immigration proposals under discussion. Let me add mine to the mix. I want to call this proposal the Limbaugh Laws. Here they are. First, if you immigrate to the United States of America, you must speak the native language. You have to be a professional or an investor. We are not going to take unskilled workers. You will not be allowed. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools, no special ballots for elections, no government business will be conducted in your native language. Foreigners will not have the right to vote, I don't care how long they are here, nor will they ever be allowed to hold political office. According to the Limbaugh Laws, if you're in our country, you cannot be a burden to taxpayers. You are not entitled, ever, to welfare, to food stamps, or other government goodies. You can come if you invest here, but it must be an amount equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage. If you don't know have that amount of money, you can't come and invest. You have to stay home. If you do come and you want to buy land, okay, but we're going to restrict your options. You will not be allowed to buy waterfront property in the United States. That will be reserved for citizens naturally born in this country.
In fact, as a foreigner, you must relinquish individual rights to property. These are the Limbaugh Laws. Another thing. You don't have the right to protest when you come here. You're allowed no demonstrations, you cannot wave a foreign flag, no political organizing, no bad-mouthing our president or his policies, or you get sent home. You're a foreigner. You shut your mouth or you get out, and if you come here illegally, you go straight to jail and we're going to hunt you down 'til we find you.
I can imagine many of you think that the Limbaugh Laws are pretty harsh. I imagine today some of you probably are going, "Yeah! Yeah!" Well, let me tell you this, folks. Every one of the laws I just mentioned are actual laws of Mexico, today. I just read you Mexican immigration law. That's how the Mexican government handles immigrants to their country. Yet Mexicans and others come here illegally, they protest in our streets, they get on our welfare program, and we have members of the United States Senate, both parties, doing handstands and back flips, going through every contortion possible to allow it to continue so that it doesn't make these people mad, resulting in votes against these linguini-spined populations."
Maybe we could take some lessons from the Mexican government. ElaineH
