So far, the bill is dead. but not so far away there will be another attempt to legalize everyone of the illegal aliens into the country in one grand stroke of the pen.
President Bush made a statement this morning from Germany that he believed the bill is not dead and that Reid should consider putting the bill back on the table, for another round.
The NY Times thought the bill had a lack of real leadership and that is why it was defeated. Of course, to the Times, the leader was Bush himself, or Jon Kyl, but not Reid, nor Kennedy, "
A core group of lawmakers has shown a greater faith in their country
than that. They must keep fighting, knowing that on the central
principles — restoring the rule of law, enhancing security, easing the
pressure on the border and giving immigrants hope — Americans are with
them. Boy, these guys at the Times are good at twisting facts and definitions into whatever fits their goal. At first read you could have thought the Times was referring to what conservatives must continue to do. Nope it's directed at Reid and Kennedy and yes, John McCain the rino.
This is exactly what we conservatives have been wanting the country to finally get, a round tuit
1.
"restoring the rule of law" Enforce the laws of the country regarding immigration.
2.
"enhancing security". Amen to that, close the borders tight as can be, not just enhancing, but having security in the first place to enhance and make better.
3. "
easing the
pressure on the border' How do you ease pressure on the border? By making sure that the illegals know that we are serious about keeping the border closed with fences, monitors, patrols, cameras, dogs, what have you. They will get that idea and stop trying in the large numbers that have been successfully crossing previously. It will take the pressure off the border patrol to keep running from one fire to another.
4. "
giving immigrants hope". All of the immigrants who have patiently stood in line waiting their turn at legal immigration will feel that their wait was not in vain and they will not be punished because of the politicians politicizing the millions of illegal aliens.
The NY Times just listed the 4 point plan.
It's a time out, this is all it is. As the liberals take a deep breath, we conservatives need to take a deep breath too, as the game will begin again soon.
A New Name, but the same game.
