OK, for a couple of days, I was really happy with the House-passed version of immigration reform. More border security was mandated, including a wall. Illegally entering my country was to be reclassified as a felony allowing for the illegals to be arrested and deported, and amentsy for the illegals already infesting the country was out of the question. This was the bill that America needed and it was obvious because the illegals were upset enough that they took to our streets for days to protest and threaten us and Vincente Fox, the biggest enabler of illegal immigration in the world, was beside himself.
Then the Senate got a crack at it, and as a result, I'm about ready to drop any and all support for the Republican Party come the next election.
First the Democrats started demanding that we let the illegals stay here and give them citizenship status ahead of anyone who was trying to immigrate to the US legally. And of course people like Ted Kennedy want the illegals able to vote, preferably before the next election, because they know that almost all of those people who have nothing but contempt for our laws and culture will vote Democrat. This is the same reason that the Dems want felons able to vote. They can't appeal to decent hard-working Americans with their leftist platform so they call for the creation of new classes of voters made up of the people who generally subscribe to the Democratic theory that a government that robs Peter to pay Paul will always have the support of Paul. And felons and illegal aliens are overwhelmingly Pauls.
But the Dem demands should have just been dismissed because they're technically the minority party. we as a nation elected a Republican majority because we as a nation favored the conservative agenda promised us by the Republicans. However the Republican Party in the Senate is essentially controlled by a small handful of Democrats who have gotten themselves elected as republicans. These would be Senators John McCain of Arizona, Arlen Specter of PA, Chuck Hegel of Nebraska and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. These four--all from strong generally conservative GOP states--continually go against the will of the Republicans and conservatives who made them the majority and vote like a band of effeminate sob-sister second-hander liberal Democrats. They side with Ted Kennedy much more than they do with President Bush and I can only hope that Bush regrets helping Specter out in his last primary election when a real conservative ran against Specter and nearly defeated him. But for Bush's last-minute help, Specter would have been a bad memory by now and he has to know this. But like a true liberal, he's anything but grateful. He just keeps thwarting the conservative Republican agenda.
These liberal Republicans sat down with Kennedy and a few other liberals and came up with a bill that mandated no border wall and no enhanced penalty for being illegal. Worse, it called for legalizing most of the illegals, essentially rewarding them for invading our country then standing up to us by giving them citizenship. Of course the liberals claim that some illegals would have to leave if they haven't been here at least five years, but this is silly because that depends on asking the illegals how long they've been here and of course they're all going to claim five years, even the ones who are still damp from swimming the Rio Grande last night. Illegals lie every day. Does anyone--even a liberal--think that they won't lie about something like this?
Someone needs to remind these senators that right now, illegals cannot vote but the rest of us can. I intend to hold any legislator accountable for supporting illegals over the rest of us and that includes President Bush as he's called for a form of Amnesty more than once. I won't vote for any Representative, Senator or President who panders to the illegals or refuses to uphold the current American laws that these people are already breaking. And if that means that the GOP loses majority control in 2006, so be it. They'll have done it to themselves and frankly I'd rather resent a Democratic majority then put up with a Republican majority that acts like Democrats and lets Kennedy run everything anyway.
Now as it stands, many of us have made this sentiment clear, and the senate version of the bill is stalled. The Dems are furious now because it's really their bill and they want it passed. But at least some of the Republicans know that it's the death knell for their party if it does. We, the People, are tired of seeing illegals take our jobs by claiming that we don't want them, and then clogging up our hospitals, schools and welfare programs ahead of Americans. We're especially sick of seeing them protesting in our streets waving their own national flags and telling us that our own southwest is their land anyway. I still want to see my government get some cojones (how's that for multicultural?) and start senting Immigration and Customs Enforcement busses and arrest teams to these protests and locking up these people who brazenly tell us that they're illegal then demand that we legalize them and give them all the benefits that the rest of us earned and paid for. I want the illegals gone, not legalized, and many Americans fell the same way, including John Sweeney, leader of the AFL-CIO. He knows that illegals take union jobs and harm union as well as non-union workers in America and he's told the Dems that his membership opposes what they're trying to do. Well now it's time for every American to stand up and demand real border security and an end to talk of Amnesty for our border-hopping uninvited criminal trespassing "guests". Many of us aren't opposed to a genuine guest-worker program that brings in immigrants who play by the rules, pass background checks, and leave when they can't or won't work any more. But this current talk of just legalizing them all is lunacy and I won't support it or the party that lets it happen. The Democrats can and will win in 2006 and they might even take the Presidency in 2008. All they need do is get the GOP to pass an amnesty bill and the backlash from us legitimate American voters will pretty much assure the end of the GOP control.
You need to stay faithful to the ones who elected you, Republicans. So start acting like Republicans instead of Ted Kennedy clones.
