What's the name of the R.E.M song....goes something like "It's the end of the world as we know it...and I feel fine"....
Thank you Bush/Republicans, et al, for selling out my country.

Imho too much forgiveness to people that have already broken our laws. What does this show them other than there are no real consequences for any actions they take.

I got one...
"DC to BP, DC to BP... stand by for a wave of Mexicans, Over..."
This just presents a huge amount of problems beyond politicians totally ignoring voters. If this passes then we still don't have an effective means to stop the next wave of millions from coming over.
And I hate to say this but maybe O'reilly had a good point in that if this passes, it could completely change the political demographics.
And where the hell are all these $5000 amounts going to come from? This is ridiculous.

The best part is that the plan is to secure the border before any of this "non-amnesty" takes place.
Well in that case.
I about spit my drink out when I heard that **** on the news

The conservative Heritage Foundation released a report on Monday analyzing future costs of households headed by workers without a high school diploma. Data from 2004 shows that 50 percent of illegal workers fall into that category. The data also indicate that such households consume more in benefits than they pay in taxes.
"Each low-skilled immigrant household that gets amnesty costs the American taxpayers nearly $20,000 each year if we consider only the illegal aliens given amnesty." said Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky. "Those costs will add up to over $2 trillion — that's with a 't' — trillion over their lifetime."

That's from this article: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,274435,00.html Which is a really good read.

The Senate voted Wednesday to slash the number of foreign workers who could come to the U.S. on temporary visas as part of a broad bipartisan immigration bill.
A new guest worker program would be capped at 200,000 a year under the proposal, which passed 74-24 over strong opposition by the Bush administration.
