"We know what they're against. We don't know what they're for,"

Of course Teddy's right.  The Publicans bought in to something agreed to for still unknown reasons against the shouts of their constituency.

We were very clear in our wishes "Build the Damned Fence Mr. President".  But the Publicans agreed with Ted Larva Kennedy to make the issue a humongous con.

Has Teddy been "drinking while legislating" again? Kennedy has been ruining and eroding organized and lawful immigration laws since the 1960s. He and his ilk this time couldn't conceal the stench radiating from this legislation on the floor of the Senate. All the while they stood there with straight faces saying "All is well", whilst something was "rotten in Denmark", er, D.C.

Instead, like the over grown petulant child this "Senator" is, he alludes to those against his legislation as being bigots who cannot wait for a "Gestapo" to pop up tomorrow. Typical hate speech from a talking head whose soul was bought and paid for years ago.

What is so hard for the Senate to grasp. We don't need new laws we need enforcement. Here is what I call "Immigration Reform for Dummies".

1. Secure the border along with internal security measures. Arrest employers who hire illegal immigrants. Cut federal funding for sanctuary cities.

2. Implement some form of a National ID immediately (within 180 days. If they are not sure how to do it, get some kid and his PC that has been popped making fake IDs, just look at the overnight police blotter in a colleg town for leads!). No legal ID then you are not here legally. No Consular Cards only valid passports with entry stamps will be acceptable.

3. Deport criminal illegal aliens, in custody, on probation, and those whom have had warrants issued for their arrests.

4. Clear backlog of visa applications for residency and other forms legal entry into the country by providing sufficient manpower to cope with applications. There should be no idle Immigration employees, however, just processing the incoming paperwork and documentation cause a chokepoint as it is correctly sent to the appropriate department for action.

5. Then when all of these measures have been met then we can deal with illegals here, and a clearer picture has been established as to who is still here, then on a case by case basis will be given to those who have usurped the law and put down roots, and other than this been productive and steered clear of trouble with the law as what is required for legal alien as terms of permanent residency.

That is what you call compromise. All those who really want to be here will tough it out and will be an open book for scrutiny by the American people. No need for the buses Teddy, those who don't meet the criteria will leave on their own volition you fossil!

It seems to me that the MSM pushing the notion that what defeated this disaster-in-the-making was "lawmaker ambivalence", over the American people's revolt, is the perfect illustration of how they put more faith in the power and wisdom of the government over that of the citizenry. No surprise, as most in the MSM probably think that government creates wealth.

The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.

"We know what they're against. We don't know what they're for," Senator Edward Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, said of the bill's opponents. Perhaps, he suggested, the bill's opponents envision some kind of "gestapo" to round up illegal immigrants.  "That's their alternative?" Kennedy shouted. "That's their alternative?"

What absurd hyperbole.  No one suggested rounding up the illegals with a Gestapo.  They're already here, and most of them will end up staying here til they die or go home.

You don't know what we're for?  Are you flippin' deaf, or just ignorant, Senator?  Fix the border security that you neglected for 40 years.  After that's fixed, we can carefully and fully discuss how to deal with the other stuff.

What can be plainer than that?

OMG! Did anyone else see Tommy Chong on FNC's Neil Cavuto yesterday?

I don't know how many brain cells Chong started out life with, but I can firmly say there are barely enough for his brain to operate his involuntary organs.

Yeah, man, this country was their before the white man took it ... Bush is a moron ... Yeah, I smoke everyday, Neil. You should too ... Bush is a moron... I was an illegal alien too when I'd cross the border to work here ... Did I say Bush is a moron? ...

Neil: Yeeaaahhh ... we're out of time, Tommy thanks for ...

Chong: WAIT! You didn't hear my solution for the border ... Bush is a moron ...

Neil: ... Yeeeaahhh ...

FIX THE FRIGGIN' BORDER AND BUILD THE FRIGGIN' FENCE!!!!

Then, we can have a civil discusion on what to do with the 12-20 million crimnals that have already snuck in since the last amnesty deal. You see we have historic empiracle evidence that unequivocaly shown that if you grant amnesty and don't fix the border holes, even more will come accross and wait for the next amnesty deal.

If we grant amnesty to the criminals that are here without having control of the borders, it only guarentees that in 15-20 years we will have another 20 million criminals awaiting their shot at amnesty.
