Hey Chavez!!
In an article in the Boston Herald, Linda Chavez gives the appearance of chastising conservatives and talk radio as well as the GOP for defeating the amnesty bills and making the US less secure. And in addition Chavez blames this same group for the plight of employers wishing to comply with checking legal status of applicants. Ya, like that’s going to be a big group. Hey Chavez, did the thought cross your mind that the reason Feinstein, Boxer and Pelosi want increases in guest worker programs and amnesty for the millions of illegals is because so many employers choose not to notice legal status?? It’s amazing how many ways employers find to not hire people they don’t want and avoid litigation. Oh my, but they are sincerely worried about legal action for denying work to illegals. What a load of fertilizer. But I digress.
The real point here is blaming conservatives and talk radio for problems that already exist and would not have been fixed by the amnesty bills. Hey Chavez, did you look at the roll call votes on cloture for S.1348 and S.1639??
Among what are regularly referred to as conservatives, GOP members of the Senate are in the minority. So some who are regularly referred to as liberals, namely Dems, would have had to vote along with the GOP in order to defeat amnesty.
Those voting against all four cloture votes include four Dems and an Independent. By name they are Baucus, Byrd, Dorgan, Sanders and Tester. The second and fourth cloture votes were the bill killers. Hey Chavez, did you know that even Sinister Harry Reid voted to kill S.1348?? Guess what Chavez, he’s a Democrat. He is also the Senate Majority Leader.
Four more Dems voted against cloture on the bill killers although they voted on one cloture to consider the first bill S.1348. In name they were Landrieu, Stabenow, McCaskill and Rockefeller. So where do you get off blaming conservatives and talk radio for the ills of illegal immigration and national security?? Liberals voted for it too. Only 1 our of 4 or 5 Americans polled thought these bills had any chance of passing. 2 out of 3 Americans favored prosecuting illegals and enforcement only. They all called their representatives as well as those in favor of amnesty. Hey Chavez, do you think it is possible the reason the phone system in Congress was shut down may have been they didn’t want to talk to angry constituents?
Hey Chavez, the best thing about defeating amnesty other than defeating amnesty was everyone is PO’d about it. The conservatives got a great deal of help from liberals and indy’s and you just can’t stand it. You liberal freak, you just cannot resist blaming conservatives for something you don’t particularly like.
Eighteen Dems and one Independent assisted in killing one or both of these bills. As was stated earlier, even Sinister Harry Reid voted to kill S.1348 so stop already with the blame game on anyone but liberals.
You have another strange notion. Just because the Dems expect to have the majority in 2008 does not make it a reality. You also say that currently the existing law provides little or no tools for countering illegal immigration. The Senate bills just defeated would have provided immediate amnesty for all illegal aliens,, not just ag workers. How would that have aided in countering the flow of illegals. Oh, I get it, if you’re illegal when you get here or after you arrive we’ll just make you legal and that will solve the problem. Hey Chavez, you don’t have a clue. Or you do and you’re pulling a Hillary and just simply lying about it.
Take your ‘GOP hurts itself’ article and do a new draft with something resembling the truth. Or check the Kennedy quote from the last amnesty. He claimed before they did it then that it would never happen again. The simple fact is 
approval ratings are in the tank for all of Washington and the citizens were fed up. The New Direction Dem majority self-destructed in January 2007. They have accomplished nothing. The GOP finally pulled together and enough liberals and Indy’s helped out to override the majority wish for amnesty.
Now the job is for citizens to continue the pressure on Washington to do whatever is necessary to enforce immigration and control the borders. Stiffen penalties for illegal entry. Make penalties for employers hiring illegals unbearable. Disallow chain migration. Dry up jobs for illegals. No public assistance for illegals. And the list is not done. Forget amnesty and do the right thing. We don’t need anything called comprehensive. That is a political term for stiff the citizens.
