Imagine Senator Kennedy flailing his arms, and hailing with his gravel voice, that a deal has been struck between The White House, Democrats and Republicans on an amnesty bill.  Oh really. Have another drink, Senator. There’s a lot of work to be done in the days ahead before this argument is a done deal. There are grassroot organizations as I’m writing this who are urging tens of thousands of their constituents to call their reps and senators, to oppose or at least delay passing of this so-called amnesty which will allow approximately 12 million illegals to gain immediate legal status,rights and benefits—and a path to citizenship. But wait, there’s more! Kennedy does not have the final word on this. We do. Remember, we’re part of the process. We don’t just sit around and accept what’s going on without analyzing, discussing, formulating our own opinions, and then acting on them.  No matter what your opinion of this is, I urge you to read all you can about this bill. It’s in all the headlines today, Washington Post, MSNBC, Reuters, and all the talk shows, of course… Make up your own minds, and take action. I’m giving you a list of key people to call besides your reps and senators. These key senators are the decision makers, and they’ll listen.

If you believe what Senator Kennedy does, that this bill is “the best possible chance we will have in years to secure our borders and bring millions of people out of the shadows and into the sunshine of America”, then tell the Senators you agree.

If you oppose it, tell them not to pass it.

Personally, there were enough conservative foes who built in so many complex compromises, that it would take years before substantial numbers of “illegals” became citizens. For example, illegal immigrants’ access to long-term visas and the new guest-worker program would be contingent upon border crackdown. The government must deploy 18,000 new Border Patrol agents and four unmanned aerial vehicles.  200 miles of vehicle barriers, 370 miles of fencing, and 70 ground-based radar and camera towers!! The government must provide funds for the detention of 27,500 illegal immigrants A DAY; and complete new identification ways to help employers screen out illegal job applicants.  So at this point, I don’t see what all the conservative talk show hosts are getting their boxers twisted over.  This border crackdown policy could take years.  In the meantime, our borders are still being flooded with thousands of illegals daily… think about that. This is what the government should be dealing with first. Tighten up those borders.
