Is the Immigration Bill coming back?
He's got that right: we can't let them try this behind closed doors crap again; let's see where our elected officials stand on each one of these issues.Here’s what needs to happen. Sens. Sessions, DeMint and Cornyn need to lead an effort over the next few weeks to introduce a series of specific bills. One would outlaw “sanctuary cities” and either impose a loss of federal funding, fines or jail time for municipal or county officials who knowingly flout federal immigration law. The second bill would mandate the deportation of criminal illegal aliens to their countries of origin. The third bill would mandate the construction of a fence along the border.
Let’s get the Senate on the record on each of these issues, separate from each other and from the Frankenstein monster that collapsed on Thursday. Let’s get the Senate on the record on whether a majority supports basic law and order or not. And if the bills pass, let’s get the House and president on the record too.
To go thorough this game of musical chairs again just to provide these scumbags political cover is more than stupid--War with Iran is looming and people are trying to blow up our airports and murder our citizens; yet our leaders seemingly have nothing better to do than to once again waste our time on this DOA Immigration Bill--which would never pass in the House anyway. This is madness!
Let's stop the bleeding once and for all, and then next year let's elect a new set of leaders who aren't so terrified of enforcing our laws, instead of just making them for the sake of political posturing only. In the meantime, here is a message straight from the Republican wing of the Republican party: Stop wasting our time.
