Burning Atlanta

The GOP needs to dump some of the appeasers and take a stand for this nation. The democrats are in virtual white-flag waving lockstep. Thankfully, 14 or 15 dem senators crossed over to defeat the last attempt at an amnesty. But here comes Specter and it's going to be another load of crap. "But it's not an amnesty."

Seditious SOB

The Senate Judiciary Committee’s senior Republican said on Thursday that he is on the verge of offering a new immigration reform package, making significant changes that could win over recalcitrant members from both parties. My ass. This will be nothing but trying to mince words and sneak another amnesty thru.

Specter explained the new measure would omit the controversial “Z visa” program, which would have given the nation’s 12 million illegal immigrants a path to citizenship. Removing the Z visa would offer conservatives less opening to tag the bill as “amnesty.” But he would leave intact the family reunification standard that this spring’s defunct immigration bill partially replaced with a skills-based system.

The lone change in the status of the 12 million, Specter said, would be removing their status as fugitives from justice, an attempt to diminish their incentive to remain outside the system and in fear of deportation.

Umbelievable.  Now, after all the years of empty promises when states are taking action that's having a positive effect and this weasel wants to give them a pass to stay...and bring the whole family!
