On Immigration GOP Senators Betray Americans for Votes

The Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee approved election-year immigration legislation on Monday that is far different from what most Americans had in mind. The bill, which goes to the full Senate, paves the way for millions of undocumented workers to become U.S. citizens without having to first leave the country or pay a fine.



After days of protests led by left-wing groups masquerading as rank-and-file illegal aliens, the Senate committee’s GOP members folded like cheap cameras and voted to strip away proposed criminal penalties for residents found to be in this country illegally. The bill which passed the House of Representatives called for such penalties.



The panel’s vote now allows the bill to go before the full Senate for debate on Tuesday. “All Americans wanted fairness and they got it this evening,” said Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat who played a pivotal role in drafting the legislation along with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), approved 12-6.



Of course, Sen. Kennedy’s sense of fairness has always been questionable. In fact, what he calls fair is unfair to American citizens and legal immigrants who had to endure the pain of dealing with the immigration bureaucracy.



Committee Chairman Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) voted for the bill but signaled that some of the provisions could well be changed by the full Senate, but most observers don’t buy that for a moment. Conservatives knew that Sen. Specter was a liberal and therefore urged the GOP not to give him the chairmanship. Once again, he’s shown the conservatives to be right.

I'm telling you right now that anyone who voted for this bill will never get my vote again for any damn office. I know traitors when I see and hear them and this bill is an act of treason against all 'real American citizens'. Once again the perfidy of the American politician and their insatiable hunger for votes and money it there for all to behold.
