Gee, I wonder why.

    Hmm…maybe because they’re starting to realize that their constituents are mad as hell and we’re not gonna take it anymore…?

    The people yes
    The people will live on.
    The learning and blundering people will live on.
    They will be tricked and sold and again sold
    And go back to the nourishing earth for rootholds,
    The people so peculiar in renewal and comeback,
    You can’t laugh off their capacity to take it.
    The mammoth rests between his cyclonic dramas.

    Carl Sandburg, The People, Yes

    Has anyone heard of any opinion polls on this bill yet? Seems strangely silent to me.

    Tammy,
    Since Brian Bilbray is my congressman, this is off his web page:
    5/17/2007
    BILBRAY:“SENATE ‘COMPROMISE’ REWARDS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WITH AMNESTY”
    (Washington D.C.)- Congressman Brian Bilbray (R-CA), Chairman of the Immigration Reform Caucus, released the following statement today following the announcement of a deal reached in the United States for a “comprehensive” illegal immigration reform bill: “The ‘compromise’ announced today by Senator Kennedy will reward 12 million illegal immigrants with a path to citizenship – what part of illegal does the Senate not understand? Any plan that rewards illegal behavior is amnesty.

    I felt i had to check since he has been consistent on this

    One of my favorite Republican Senators is Jeff Sessions(that’s him on the left).He has always been opposed to amnesty in any form. There are still some members of my party that I respect and know they’ll do the right thing.

    Term limits,term limits,term limits! Serving in the Congress and Senate should not be a career. They spend most of their time securing their re-elections. Cut their pay in half! Two terms and out!
