Senate Bypasses Security for Immigration

We didn’t write the caption, but take a good long look. What happend to the “melting pot?” What about e pluribus unum? No more. It’s about diversity, where the “div” stands for divide. Caucus is just another name for special interests. Now, imagine what the future of runaway immigration will look like?
AP reports: “Buoyed by President Bush, supporters of immigration legislation established command in the Senate on Tuesday, brushing aside potentially crippling challenges to a bill that blends tougher border enforcement with a path to citizenship for millions in the United States illegally.”
“It was a good way to start,” said Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo. as a shifting bipartisan coalition held firm against attacks from the left and the right.
On a vote of 55-40 that crossed party lines, the Senate rejected an appeal from Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., to require the border be secured before other immigration law changes could take place. Anything less would mean “a wink and a nod one more time to those who would come here” unlawfully, said the Georgia Republican.
The bill’s supporters said he had it backward. “We have to have a comprehensive approach if we’re going to gain control of the borders,” said Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., echoing Bush’s remarks of the night before.
Supporters of open borders (e.g. granting citizenship to millions of illegals) are “buoyed by President Bush,” and Ted Kennedy is quoted as “echoing Bush’s remarks.”
Now, tell us we don’t have a problem here?
