I was prompted to ask: “HOW ABOUT A BROWN THANK YOU?"... to the American Taxpayers who are forced to financially support the multitude of social services that provide (free-to-immigrants) - legal or otherwise - medical care, education, food and housing. Oh,and thanks for providing NO incentive to learn English. It’s so much easier to make the American Taxpayers speak Spanish.

double wtf.

Actually it is the taxes being paid by those immigrants that will probably save Social Security.

I've got a brown thank you....come and get it.

GEO,
do you have ANY factual data to back up your claim that illegals pay taxes on that magnitude ?

or are they paying on a stolen SSN ??

yep geo when you get your tax return checked and find out some illigal was using your ssn and may have paid some to ssi but then you owe more in taxes as they had 8 dependents and now you get screwed big time.

Badges?

We don't have no badges.

We don't need to show you no badges.

We don't have no stinkin' badges!

Tana - what are you, another Bush-hater? Didn't you get your Bush tax cut like the rest of us?? If not, then too bad...don't come crying.

I'd like a "Thank You" from all the rightwing Christians taking my money to pay for THEIR kids education.

I'm a homo and you hate me.

I want to thank criminal illegal Mexicans, living near N.E. Denver, who registered with their phony INS documents, voted, and nullified the votes of blacks living in N.E. Denver. Kudos also to Webb, Shamnesty Salazar, and Billie Mae Owens. Webb (happy Negro) tripled the property taxes of blacks living in the Five Points area, and chased them out. Shamnesty (SAG), secy. state, and Billie, conspired to do a slick Texas-style redestricting in N.E. DEnver, as a part of their plan to nullify the votes of blacks, who they knew would be out-numbered by voting criminal illegal Mexicans.

It worked! For the 1st time in decades, there are no elected blacks on RTD's board of directors (13 whites/2 Latinos). Salazar's and Billie's reason for this Bull Connor tactic, was to render blacks in N.E. Denver, "voiceless", while $14 billion in federal money was being spent (jobs and contracts) in the T-REX, Fas Tracks, CBMS, and Fitzsimons (Mormon Church cash-cow) redevelopment projects. T-REX and Fas Tracks were cash-cows for Mexicans (legal and illegal).

SAG Suthers is investigating Rev. Phillips (black-democrat) for his alleged fraud of $500K. All of the federal funded projects listed above, are steeped in GOP (Tauer, BoPeep, Brimhall, Cason, Shore, Allard, Owens, Shamnesty, etc.) racism and federal funds fraud, waste, abuse, coupled with RICO violations. Again, blacks are being busted for pennies, while Mexicans and whites walk-off with the whole da-- bank. Wahtever happened to Neil Bush (dyslexia)? Without a shot being fired, Neil Bush and his home-boys, robbed Denver's Silverado Bank of more than $1 BILLION. The Colorado SAG never filed fraud charges against him. The Denver DA didn't file charges either.

Well, Mr DDIAFV, know you know how badly whites got screwed to favor the blacks. Bias and racism is bias and racism no matter where it comes from.

“HOW ABOUT A BROWN THANK YOU?".

Tell me again how the "illegal immigration" issue is not just a vehicle for channeling racial bias for political gain.

For now, cities can continue to break federal law without consequence. They can order their police not to report illegal aliens, even though federal law say such orders are illegal. The Clinton and Bush Justice Departments have refused to enforce the law. And tonight, 52 Senators decided against threatening the loss of federal funds if those cities don't end their sanctuary policies.

THE PROTECTORS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS

This was an embarrassing display by the Democratic Party.

All but one of the Democratic votes protected the ability of outlaw cities to protect illegal aliens from detention (and, thus, to protect the oulaw businesses that hire them).

Only Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana broke with the Senate Democratic leadership's almost constant endorsement of illegal immigration.

The rest of the Democratic Senators who have tended to break with Democratic leadership and vote against illegal immigration in the past deserted us tonight. That would include Senators like Tester (Mont.), McCaskill (Mo.), Webb (Va.), Dorgan (N.D.), Nelson (Neb.), Byrd (W.Va.).

What this tells me is that the constituents of those states failed to rise up in sufficient numbers today to make it clear to those Senators that this was a vote that really counted -- and that was really being watched. And it indicates that these Senators are starting to feel a little too safe on immigration issues. Yes, they voted against the giant amnesty in June. They deserve much credit for that. But that doesn't give them permission to take the illegal aliens' position now.

Joining the Democrats were six Republicans who almost always can be counted on to support illegal immigration: Specter of Pennsylvania, Lugar of Indiana, Hagel of Nebraska, Stevens of Alaska, and then Collins and Snowe from Maine which is essentially a sanctuary state.

FIGHTERS FOR THE RULE OF LAW

All but five of the Republican votes favored Sen. Vitter's (R-La.) amendment to deny the federal "COPS" funding to cities who continue sanctuary policies for illegal aliens.

Plus, Sen. Landrieu (D-La.)

Six Senators did not vote: Clinton (D-NY), Inouye (D-HI), Isakson (R-GA), Kennedy (D-MA), Obama (D-IL), Warner (R-VA).

Our allies in the U.S. House have tried to pass this amendment against sanctuary cities for several years. The amendment lost overwhelmingly the first couple of years and only finally passed this year. Tonight was the very first try in the Senate, and the amendment almost passed!

The entire leadership of one of the Parties was on our side. For 20 years, the leadership of the Republican Party has been lukewarm to our concerns or, in the case of the last several years, openly hostile. So, the united Republican leadership was a very positive sign, and certainly accounted for such a strong Republican vote in our favor.

Most of the Republicans who last year and last spring were part of the dozen open-border stalwarts in the Party ended up voting with us against sanctuary policies. Particularly gratifying was to see the support we got from these hard-to-get Senators: McCain (Ariz.), Brownback (Kan.), Martinez (Fla.), Bennett (Utah), Lott (Miss.), McConnell (Ky.), Voinovich (Ohio), Coleman (Minn.) These Senators have changed on this vote (some last June) because those of you in their states have thrown your full efforts into activism to show them the need to change. I don't count on their support in the future. It will come only if you keep the pressure on. But how nice to have it tonight.

I'm sure that Presidential campaigning kept Senators Clinton and Obama from voting tonight. But I also like the fact that your heavy calling made it so unappealing for them to rush back to the Capitol to cast their usual votes for illegal immigration.

The open-borders folks didn't come even close to getting 60 votes in defeating our anti-sanctuary amendment. That sends a powerful message that if they try to push through something bad and our allies filibuster, they are unlikely to get the 60 votes necessary to pass something over a filibuster.

START PHONING AGAIN FIRST THING WEDNESDAY --DREAM ACT AMNESTY VOTE MAY BE WEDNESDAY

The Senate now takes up the Labor spending bill.

There remain strong rumors on Capitol Hill today that somebody will try to add the DREAM Act amnesty to the Labor spending bill.

Phone your Senators and tell staffers you are opposed to any consideration of the DREAM Act Amnesty.

Phone 202-224-3121

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO PHONED AND FAXED TODAY.

PLEASE DO IT ALL AGAIN TOMORROW.

Should you call you Senators if you support the Dream Act Amnesty?

7:55

No! You should be calling 911 because you seriously need help.

Let's all have a pity party for draftdodgingisntafamilyvalue (aka 40acresandmymule aka Lt JJ Tennant, USN, retired). For this gentleman, everything is blacks against everyone else . He is still embittered that Colorado chose to outsource (to companies which offshore work) a job that he felt he should have gotten simply by virtue of his being a retired vet with some years of IT background. There are literally millions (over $300 million as I recall) that every taxpayer in Colorado should be angry about the waste (not to mention every qualified IT person whom the state passed over); however, while the gentleman believes he had the qualifications to do the work, was he any more qualified than any other IT worker who wanted the job?
Here's a tip, sir: those of us who are still employed in IT for major vendors & corporations are facing offshoring (which may be immoral - and is definitely questionable as far as national security is concerned, but is certainly not illegal) in ever increasing numbers - although I have seen some backlash from customers, and smaller companies are now reverting in "insourcing" (yep - hiring local talent). In addition, whether the only person someone in IT actually manages is himself/herself, frequently we are classified as managers and have little protection from forced mandatory OT. Last year, I "ate" 2 weeks vacation and worked over 2500 hours (and as a salaried employee got paid for 2080) - and this year is every bit as bad.

What draftdodgingisntafamilyvalue chooses to ignore is the fact that business (private or government) gains when it succeeds in getting the workforce to blame members of subgroups (men vs women, minority vs white, Christian vs non-Christian, etc) instead of rallying together to say "enough is enough".

Business is directly responsible for the influx of illegals and the lowering of the base wage - and for convincing Congress to do NOTHING to secure our borders and deport the illegals. Business is responsible for chosing to make this country less secure (for the unaware, on 9/11/2001, the AIRLINES were responsible for checking carryon luggage - and boxcutters were never legal in carryons). Business is responsible for wage stagnation and the eroding of the economic worth of a middle class while making sure upper management ends up with "rock star" compensation. Business is responsible for responsible for offshoring jobs, often to countries which do not have the same manufacturing safety standards as the US, then APOLOGIZING to a country like China which is caught manufacturing goods with high levels of lead (which at worst can literally kill a child, and at best can cause brain damage & other health issues) because the company didn't explicitly state what lead levels are acceptable. (Please - the US has had limits on lead in all products since the 70s - and I suspect that Chinese manufacturers knew exactly what those limits are.) And - when AlQaeda (or any other terrorist organization) figures out that it takes only a little knowledge to do a lot of damage with software (imagine if you will lights in both directions going green simultaneously - hit a few major cities with that during peak traffic volume times and the death toll on 9/11 will pale in consideration - or identity theft bankrupting half of a city), business will be responsible for hiring terrorists to destroy the country at no risks to themselves.

Stop whining about "pity the poor black vet" - business has all of us legal workers in the same boat.

The agenda will require the complete bankruptcy of the USA, the complete depletion of all US armed forces, followed by either UN troops or private contractors (mercenaries) being called in to keep order in the streets. All important manufacturing will be off-shored, and as many farms as possible brought under corporate control, in order to starve the citizens of the USA when that part of the agenda comes to fore. Global Socialism is what the agenda is all about. The elimination of Christianity, and the elimination of the rule of law (Constitution) will be demanded for this New World Order.

You cannot separate race from politics in this one. On one side there is La Raza (the race) and on the other "gringos" (a racist mexican term for the rest of us). "The Race" expect the gringos to pay for them. I heard an illegal say this morning on TV. "We are poor and uneducated. You are educated and should pay for our doctors".

As to illegal aliens paying taxes, even La Raza is soft peddling that canard. An illegal not paying taxes brings home as much as the American who used to have the job. As to a thank you, just go home wherever that may be. You are thieves and are not welcome.

Time for me to go take a "brown thank you"

Illegal immigrants are a plague on this country.

Deport them all, however long it takes.

The supporters of illegal immigration are traitors.
