Cautious Optimism about the Senate Shamnesty Bill

N.B., Is it possible that, for whatever reasons (because this involves politicians *spit* I naturally ascribe any apparently good act to base motives) somehow the idea that rewarding outlaws and punishing citizens just might not fly in the Senate this term? Maybe…we’ll see, won’t we?

“The bosom of America is open to receive not only the Opulent and respectable Stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all Nations and Religions; whom we shall welcome to a participation of all our rights and privileges, if by decency and propriety of conduct they appear to merit the enjoyment.” — George Washington (Address to the Members of the Volunteer Association of Ireland, 2 December 1783) [emphasis added]

Today’s cloture vote (to cut off debate on the thing) on President Fifi Bush’s (Mexican President Felipe Calderon’s lapdog) shamnesty bill falied… by a vote of 53 against the Bill from Hell–13 more than needed. Eighteen senators who voted for cloture the other day… switched.

Now? Keep the pressure on, folks. Let your Representative know as well that you oppose amnesty when current law is not being enforced (because of the law enFARCEment policies of Fifi Bush–Felipe Calderon’s lapdog–and his treasonous desire to surrender our borders). Let them know that enforcement comes before ANY consideration of visas for illegals.

Push this button long, hard and often. Use the resources available at NumbersUSA–phone numbers, addresses, email addreses and FREE FAXING. And let them know you are firmly behind making English the one and only official language of the U.S.

“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But. this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag … and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty, and that is a loyalty to the American people.” –Teddy Roosevelt, 1907
