No matter what ths President or the Grand Bargainers do to change the lipstick on the pig, we don't want the amnesty. That is the deal breaker. Our President is arrogant and defiant on this issue. That is why 4000 aliens per day are still flooding our Southern Border and why he has the lowest approval rating of any President in modern times. He is still singing kumbaya with Kennedy and La Raza and thumbing his nose at American voters. Hopefully, there will be enough no cloture votes to kill this bill on Tuesday. This President needs a a lesson for this legacy.

Every time the bill changes, that part just seems to move around more so than undergo significant modification. The last time I saw him this obsessed with a mission was during the weapons of mass destruction campaign that legitimized the fake war that has taken over 3,000 loved ones from their families. He should give the money back to the Chamber of Commerce who wrote the bill because they're never getting in this way, if at all. Funny, I've always gotten along just fine with the Mexican people and probably will continue to after this is over. But this double-barrel trick from the Executive Office and the Senate, combined with a coup attempt by U.S. Hispanic citizens trying to kick the border down and let everyone come over leaves me feeling very insecure. For national security reasons alone, we need to seriously criminalize employment of illegals and start putting CEO's and upper level management in jail, not the foreman or other low level boss who couldn't avoid the crap as it rolled down hill from the executive suites. Stopping the demand will cause the supply to dry up and induce those here now to leave. While doing this, we should seal the border in the most effective way, quick and financially prudent, but also with the assurance that it will be effective. Giving another multi billion contract to Halliburton to put up a chain link fence using illegal labor won't fly anymore. This bill should have never been packaged this way. It's obvious by it's design and the way it was rushed upon us that no one was proud of it. It was a dog they thought they could sneak by us. Unfortunately, Bush has removed some of our one hundred plus year old protections by inserting or removing key portions of Posse Commitatus and Insurrection Acts in Bills last year using stealth tactics. Amazing how only a few Senators notice a major modification to a bill and only one has the guts to say anything. We need some serious improvements in oversight of both the Executive and Legislative Branches. And since Gonzales has been stacking the benches with hand picks lenient on immmigration laws, it looks like we need oversight for the Judicial Branch as well. The Separation of Powers fell down to it's knees this week. Bush seems intent on kicking it to the ground. If the Senators don't have the guts to confront him, we could sustain a tremendous amount of additional damage to this country as he continues to treat our home (I hate the name Homeland, it sounds like Fatherland) like a spoiled child throwing a toy about until it breaks.

Mexico now has more money than do we thanks to them nationalizing their oil and selling it at a great profit to much of the world. So, whether or not Americans are for or against letting illegal aliens obtain citizenship, at this critical time in our history, we simply can not afford that luxury. We have over 40 million Americans living in poverty at present here and so in order to be fair we must take care of them first as charity begins at home. The United Nations must force the wealthy Mexican government to take care of their poor. They are vastly more financially able to do so than are we at present.
