Shamnesty Lives
Michelle Malkin reports that shamnesty lives, and without overwhelming voter response, we may well have illegal alien amnesty by Independence Day.
Michelle rounds up excellent reporting from many including an email from Steve Elliott from :
President Bush and the Amnesty Republicans are attempting to convince about a dozen Republicans to support “cloture” on Bush-Kennedy in exchange for a commitment that a set list of amendments will be considered — thus, “amendments for amnesty.”
Also, Bush and the amnesty leaders are strong-arming conservatives into accepting the “amendments for amnesty” deal or face being banished into Senate oblivion.
Amnesty Republicans have already submitted their list of amendments to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Once the “amendments for amnesty” deal is finalized between Reid and the Republicans, the bill will be quickly brought back to the floor. The amendments will be defeated and amnesty passed…
Lucianne.org has this great quote from Theodore Roosevelt:
“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith
becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated
on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage
to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.
But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American,
and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here.
Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all.
We have room for but one flag, the American flag..
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language…
and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”Theodore Roosevelt 1907
