Illegal Immigration Watch: Representative James Sensenbrenner – “The Words ‘Path to Citizenship’ Is a Buzzword For AMNESTY”
Volunteer Tom McCabe from the Queens borough of New York walks along a stretch of fence being built along the U.S./Mexican border near Palominas, Ariz., Saturday, May 27, 2006. Scores of volunteers gathered at a remote ranch Saturday to help a civilian border-patrol group start building a short security fence in hopes of reducing illegal immigration from Mexico.
ASSociated Press: GOP rep. rejects ‘amnesty’ for migrants
The Senate plan to provide illegal immigrants with a shot at citizenship probably is a deal-breaker that will prevent passage of a compromise on immigration overhaul, the House’s lead negotiator said Sunday.
“The words ‘path to citizenship’ is a buzzword for amnesty. We ought to be honest, it is amnesty,” said Rep. James Sensenbrenner, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
The Senate bill passed last week would tighten border security, offer a guest worker programs to bring in new foreign workers and provide a chance at citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants already in the country.
The House bill generally is limited to border enforcement and cracking down on employers who hire illegal immigrants.
Negotiators from both chambers will try to reconcile the differences and agree on a compromise.
Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., answered a flat “no” when asked Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” whether he would accept any legislation that would put illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship.
Good for Sensenbrenner.
Flap watched “Meet the Press” and GOP Senator Hagel from Nebraska was pathetic and attempted to “SPIN” the Senate bill of which he knew or understood little.
Flap handicaps less than a 50-50 chance of any reconciliation of an immigration bill this session of Congress.
Send YOUR Congressman a brick.
Tell them NOT ONE DIME NOR ONE VOTE.
BORDER SECURITY FIRST…….

There are so few heroes, in this ugly mess. I think at least we’ll get a few new voices to raise up. That would be something. Here are my most recent thoughts:
