All this talk from amnesty do-gooders sounds like they want to pass the EXISTING LAW into law. Oooooh, so the new law provides for the Feds doing raids on businesses. THE EXISTING LAW LETS THEM DO THAT NOW!!

Okay, I know you guys are sick of hearing from me. Well I am sick of reading my comments too. I’ve been a Republican my whole voting life, but I’ve had enough of this dogshit.

Yeah, we’re all happy to see employer penalties included in amnesty legislation.

They were in the last amnesty bill, too. All it takes to get around that is a few quick calls to Senators and Reps, a few quid pro quo election donations, and the INS (or whatever name they have this week) runs for cover like a whore in a raid.

From the vote, any honest American should be able to pick out at least 62 traitors in the Senate. And my great state of whoregon has two of them.

Actually, Tony’s point about the card, coupled with more Border Patrol agents doing raids in Colorado, Utah, etc. will dramatically change things. If companies feel threatened by large fines for hiring these immigrants, then they’ll stop hiring them.

Once these illegals know that jobs are drying up, they’ll either enter the guest worker program or they’ll stay home. Here’s something that my friend King Banaian posted at SCSUScholars:

One more point to make about Gary’s post is his correct analysis of the role of the biometric ID card. One of the items watered down in the Simpson-Mazzoli bill — which was long on employer sanctions in its intent at least — was that the I-9 form employers had to file permitted a broad variety of possible identification (see page 3 of the form). It is correct for critics of the Bush proposal to insist on a very narrow definition of the documentation needed to establish residency. If you snuck in and don’t have it, I’m inclined to say ‘tough luck’. For the same reason, we can’t continue to allow fuzzy documentation of I-9s.

If conservatives put the pieces of the information puzzle together, they’ll see that solid legislation can emerge. The key is putting pressure on senators to move more in the House direction than vice versa.

The concept of earned citizenship is laughable, when you consider what will happen to those who don’t bother. Basically nothing will happen - the same thing that happens to illegals in the country now. Sensenbrenner has all the good points and the public on his side. Hopefully he can ridicule the Senate and Bush into caving in.

If Tony Snow is the best they’ve got, they’ve got nothing. The thing to get out of the Limbaugh/Snow interview is the White House still does not get it and is not talking coherently about this yet.
