Senate Playing the Game today
Apr 6th 2006RavenBorder Security & Politics & Raven
…and the games continue. I’ll believe this when I see it. As the Senate plays the game, thousands of illegals continue to cross over every day.
Senate Republicans will filibuster their own immigration bill today in the face of steadfast refusal by Democrats to allow amendments to the bill that many conservatives view as granting amnesty to illegal aliens.
I was wondering when the Democraps were gonna step up to the plate with this.
Any way they wish to present this, it’s amnesty.
The new plan would allow illegal aliens who have been in the United States for more than five years to remain in the country working while applying for U.S. citizenship. Those who have been here between two and five years would have to apply for citizenship at a point of entry, but could remain working. Anyone here for less than two years would have to leave the country, but they could still apply for citizenship from their home country.
I like Tom Tancredo’s assessment:
“It looks like we will have enough people in the senate to block what I call the ‘McKennedy Plan’ where, although they want desperately to not call it amnesty - they want to use every word in the world to get around it, to obfuscate - it is amnesty [for illegals].”
I’ll be keeping an eye on how this all plays out today. I don’t have a good feeling.
