Senate passes amnesty

Speech by Senator Jeff Sessions:

It is clear the people who drafted this legislation had an agenda and the agenda was not to meet the expectations of the American people. The agenda was to create a facade and appearance of enforcement, an appearance of toughness in some instances. When you get into the meat of the provisions and get into the bill and study it, tucked away here and there are laws that eviscerate and eliminate the real effectiveness of those provisions. It was carefully done and deliberately done.

let,s work to get rid of the ex-lobbiest Wyden at the proper time also. BUT all the blogs and associates need to forget minor differences and pull together on this one thing

Not a day should go by that we forget that Smith & Wyden have sold us out.

Gordon Smith cannot be re-elected in 2008....

Wyden never had my vote and Smith just lost mine. I am majorly disappointed with Gordon. I expected as much from Ron.

Who might be a replacement for Mad Dog Smith

How about some one who is from neither of the two present parties, since both parties appear to support all illegal aliens?

SB 2611 is a poison pill.

The stage is now set for a complete gridlock and nothing will result but more Illegals coming to pick our bones.

Smith is gone...he just committed political suicide, bye bye

The best bet now is that the House of Representatives will hold the line and this bill will die.

You have to love this sellout admendment in S.2611:

S.Amdt.4188 - Specter: Managers' amendment, a collection of amendments, including Dodd's S.Amdt.4089 that requires local, state and federal governments to consult with Mexican counterpart authorities before commencing new construction, was PASSED on a 56 - 41 vote.

Smith and Wyden are no different than Gov Kulongoski and Gregoire. Those to paid more respect and reverence to Vicente Fox than they do to the President of the U.S.A. A sign supporting the belief that major change is occuring and we are being left out. Not a country for legal citizens, but one for illegal aliens, terrorists, and the third world crowd.

Hey Nek, maybe you should pack your bags and get out if you don't like representative democracy. Smith and Wyden voted the way the majority of Oregonians wanted them to. They voted for comprehensive immigration reform period. The majority of calls, emails, faxes and letters they received urged them to vote this way. If you or others can't handle that, leave your passports at the border and move to Iraq. I am tired of the nagging out of the know-nothing peanut gallery because when you guys don't get your way. You chastize the left when they nag about noth getting their way--take your own advise. "NO WHINNING!"
