Well, here we go. A brave new world. That is a world that will be made of rewarding invaders by giving them cizitenship and voting rights for trampling over our borders. Reward them for stealing Social Security numbers and other forms of identity theft, while still being eligible to receive said benefits. Of course, that would also mean that they would be eligible for SSI benefits. Seeing that this program is among the most abused and easily obtainable of all gov't programs, we can see far more than $54 billion in lawful American citizens tax money go down that rathole.
This is one of the most shameful days in the history of this country's Congress. House or Senate.
A few tidbits from this story....
"I am so proud of the Senate," Minority Leader Harry Reid said as those around him smiled broadly. "This is the way we should legislate -- on a bipartisan basis."
In other words, do what the Dems want. That is their and Vietnam Media's definition of bipartisanship.
Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican, said yesterday he has been amazed by the Senate's inability to do what voters clearly want.
"There seems to me to be a sense of surreality here, where people in the Senate just are not listening to what the American people are telling us," he said. "We've tried, through the course of the amendments that have been offered that people standing here have offered, to highlight some of the problems that we have identified and which I believe are responsive to the concerns that we've heard from our constituents."
Preach it, man!
Immediately before the final vote yesterday, conservatives suffered what they viewed as one final insult. Buried in a 125-page last-minute amendment was a requirement that local, state and federal officials in the U.S. consult with their Mexican counterparts before they can start building the fence.
Next, we will have to consult with these ass-clowns about how many square feet the next Taco Bell franchise shall have.
I am glad that the Times, (as usual) got both the story right and the headline right.

Senate OKs citizenship for illegal aliens

The Senate yesterday easily approved an immigration bill that allows 10 million illegal aliens to become citizens, doubles the flow of legal immigration each year and will cost U.S. taxpayers an estimated $54 billion over the next 10 years.
The leaders of both parties hailed the 62-36 passage as a historic success.
Majority Leader Bill Frist said the vote represented the "very best" of the Senate.
"This is a success for the American people," the Tennessee Republican said. "It is a success for people who hope to participate someday in that American dream."
Four Democrats -- Sens. Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia, Byron L. Dorgan of North Dakota, Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan -- joined 32 of the chamber's 55 Republicans, including several members of the GOP leadership, to vote against the bill. Three of the four Democrats who opposed the bill face voters in November.
Opponents said that the Senate is ignoring clear public will and that the bill would have disastrous consequences for decades to come.
