BREAKING NEWS: Senate Passes Amnesty Bill For Illegal Aliens
AP reports: “Legislation to secure U.S. borders and offer millions of illegal immigrants access to the American dream cleared the Senate on Thursday, a rare election-year reach across party lines and a triumph for President Bush. The 62-36 vote cleared the way for arduous summertime compromise talks with the House on its version that focuses on border enforcement — with no guarantee of success.” (Photo credit)
Two words: Dios mio.
Our “elected leaders” in Washington have gone bandito, exercising a total disregard for the clear majority will of the American people. How should legal voters (and taxpayers) respond to this recklessness?
“Why not say to those undocumented workers who are working the jobs that the rest of us refuse, come out from the shadows,” said Arizona Republican John McCain, a key architect of the bill.
Barf. Newsflash to McCain: They’re not your amigos, and they’re still not going to vote for you.
UPDATE:
Michelle Malkin: “Any hope now rests with the House.”
Chris Simcox, President of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (“MCDCâ€), issued the following statement on the passage today of an illegal alien amnesty bill by the U.S. Senate:
“The vote to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens by the United States Senate today, should it pass into law, would ensure that the status quo is maintained: the borders would remain wide open and the attractive nuisance of endless welfare and social programs at the expense of the American taxpayer would remain. Those climbing over the backs of those waiting patiently to abide by our laws; and instead breaking the law, illegally entering this country, and committing document fraud; those not paying taxes; and those hiring illegally would be granted full amnesty. American citizens would, of course, still be subject to prosecution for document fraud and tax evasion. This sends the message that if you play by the rules, you suffer; if you enter the United States illegally, you are not subject to the rule of law.
“The American people do not trust the government to grant amnesty now and secure the borders later. We already went down that road in 1986, and the borders remain wide open still today.
“Their constituents are watching, and these Senators will pay the price come election time. We are now focusing our attention on the House of Representatives where we do not expect amnesty to pass. The House is more respectful of their voters, as they stand for re-election every two years. The arrogance and cavalier disregard of the will of the American people by this Senate will not be forgotten—there will be an accounting. The American people are still sovereign in this country, not a gaggle of politicians pandering to their special interest donors.
“The existing border crisis is a dereliction of duty by those entrusted with this nation’s security, sovereignty and prosperity. The U.S. Senate just left America vulnerable to a tsunami of migrants at the border, to terrorist infiltration and to an unprecedented crime wave by drug smugglers, thieves, rapists, human traffickers and murderers who cross our frontier at will—and whose bravado and aggression will now increase with the Senate’s message of our apparent national weakness.
“But the Minutemen will remain on patrol, at our posts—and continue to build border fencing and barriers on private land with private donations until the U.S. government performs its most basic constitutional duty to these United States, and safeguards the people and protects the territorial integrity of America.â€

Peacenik must not be paying attention, or doesn’t pay taxes so thinks nobody else does, either.
No victims? I live in a relatively small town (150,00), and can show you many victims who had to change professions or take lower pay (non-”living wage” pay) because of the banditos. I can show you hospital bills that put the cost of “free” services on others because to ask an illegal to pay for emergency services is unheard of here.
Whatever you’re smoking, sir, must be one of the “regulated” plants.
Dicky TurbinDurbin said something last night along the lines of, “We (the Senate) worked out a compromise and you (the taxpayer, legal resident) got what you deserved.”
I know he meant something different, but it was the first thing I’ve heard from a donkey in a long time that was, in fact, spot-on. For electing the give-away donkeys and the Republicrats we as a nation have, we certainly have gotten what we deserve.

Funny that Peacenik called them illegal immigrants while arguing the opposite. Is this the state of the intelligence of America?
May 25th, 2006 at 10:34 pm
What a sad day for Americans. Interesting that the House is strongly against amnesty, and every one of them has November’s election to worry about. The Senate cut off debate because they wanted another long weekend, like how they cut early for Spring Break a month ago. What jerks.
Sen. Feinstein must go.

The Senate Approves Amnesty for Illegal Aliens
The bill that was passed in the Senate yesterday is nothing more than an amnesty plan. The Senate yesterday easily approved an immigration bill that allows 10 million illegal aliens to become citizens, doubles the flow of legal immigration each…

The Senate Immigration Bill Is an Amnesty Bill
There is a simple explanation as to why this should be considered an amnesty bill. Those who came here illegally will be allowed to get in line for citizenship. Those who did not come here illegally still cannot even get in line! this is the real reaso…

Why don’t you spineless cowards stand up for white people? Your Jewish Senators and Jew controlled congress hate white people.
You moronic “conservatives” piss on the graves of the white soldiers who died for nothing.
They died so that jewish communism, today in the form of liberal and neocon, can destroy the greatest country of all time.
Deep down you know that western civilization is white. You just don’t have the balls to say it and stand up for your people. So, fuck you and your semitically correct filter.
I’m loving it. You fuckers voted for Bush when he clearly spoke Spanish at the Republican Convention. I will never fight for this jew-controlled country. I will fight against it.
America died when the jew feminist/civil wrongs movement stole it from the white people who fought their worthless war against the Germans.
Oh, that’s right, you morons believe innocent women and children were put into “showers disguised as gas chambers” and thrown alive into huge non-existent ovens.
You dumb fucks still believe 19 arabs armed with boxcutters and funded by a man in a cave did September 11th.
Well, I got news for you. The Jew World Order is upon you. What the fuck are you gonna do?
These fuckers hate you. They want mexicans to FUCK your white daughters. This is not a game, this is not “driving the liberals nuts” this is a war.
Keep quoting these niggers such as “LeShawn Barber” and gooks like Michelle Malkin.
You “conservatives” of today are neo-cons. You would not be considered a conservatve 60 years ago, you scum ARE liberals. You are aiding this slide into jewish communism and white genocide.
If there is a hell, you’re going there.
You are the haters. You hate white people. You love jews, the creators of black on blonde pornography and the barely less subtle versions on MTV. Fuck you scum. I hate you.
I am a young white man, and you cowards have given me a life of absolute torture.
Benjamin Franklin wanted to exclude the jews, didn’t happen. This is what happened.
There’s a special place in hell for white race traitors.
Enjoy your divershity, assholes.
Have fun going to war against Iran, and not Mexico, like your goddamn jew masters want you to.

Indeed. And it seriously tests the limits of our site’s “freedom of speech” policy.
Some readers may be offended, but then what’s the point of having an open forum if we sanitize it? Our objective is to share ideas, let our audience vent, and ascertain what others are thinking — or not, as may be the case. Don’t know whether to feel sorry or embarrassed.
Of course, we *could* delete certain comments based on excessive use of profanity. But then again, our readers would miss out on the entertainment value.

Listen to the public on this one, and act upon the majority will — not special interests. As we told John McCain last week, they’re not going to vote for you anyway. [...]

10,000 innocent LEGAL American victims die every year due to ILLEGALS committing crimes. My father came here as a LEGAL from Europe, and so did all the other hard working Americans. I don’t give a fuck about illegals, they don’t deserve to be here. The law is the law. It isn’t what you make it you have to follow it. So all you illegals go back to your fucking Mexico with your stupid fucking worthless bean pride and all you Armenians go fuck yourselves in Armenia, see if you could drive your BMW’s and Mercedes-Benz over there all you could afford is a fucking camel. And all you fucking jews, quit with that diversity bullshit. We sure as hell know that you don’t give a fuck about anyone else but your own kind so go fuck yourselves.
