#2 I hope a few people wake up and pay attention to this. This is the most monumentual piece of BS ever legislated. It is staggering in it's stupidity and ability to undermine the US government as it has existed for more then two centuries. Every single one of these asses who has concocted this abomination should be thrown out. There are a special few whom I'd personally love to reach out and rip their heads off..Kennedy, McClain, Hegel, Martinez, Frist, Graham..you know them well. They are traitors to all US citizens.

#3 As much as I hate to admit it Rat, in this case, I'm afraid that Kennedy, McCain, etc. are only carrying the President's water.

#4 Most of Washington just needs dumped in the middle of the Atlantic. In very small rafts. With no provisions.

#5 Ok.. if the raft is made of lead...

Note that legal immigrants often have to have a sponsor - and in many cases (at lest for a fiancee visa) the sponsor must sign a Affadavit of Support saying that they will support the person until that person has been working for 10 years as long as they are in america.

If the immigrant signs up for welfare or any other 'means tested' program the Feds can go after the sponsor for the money.

Illegal aliens would not have a sponsor.

In other words the illegal aliens get yet-another-reward for violating our borders and breaking our laws. They get to cut-in-line in front of the law abiding people who are patently waiting for their visa AND they can sign up for welfare without having to worry about having someone else pay for it.

WTF is this?

#6 The long-term cost of government benefits for the parents of 10 million recipients of amnesty could be $50 billion per year or more.

Words escape me.
