Zound Bites: The Senate resurrects the immigration bill; Venezuelan President vows war against U.S.
Today the Senate resurrected the immigration bill designed to eventually legalize millions of illegal immigrants, but it still has the same problems.
Conservatives succeeded in delaying until Wednesday consideration of a package of amendments designed to pave the way for a final vote on the bill by using Senate rules to insist that the entire 373-page package be read aloud.,
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., agreed to postpone action on the amendments.
Probably no one has read the whole thing and it might take weeks for the rambling bill to be read in its entirety.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-MA, called the vote "a major step forward for our national security, for our economy and for our humanity."
National security? Add a couple more miles of fences and what...expect the illegals to turn themselves in? We keep losing the ones we catch.
President Hugo Chavez urged soldiers this weekend to prepare for a guerrilla-style war against the United States, claiming the U.S. government is using psychological and economic warfare as part of a campaign against his government. Note that some of that immense oil money has been spent to purchase $3 billion (U.S.) worth of arms from Russia, including 53 military helicopters, 100,000 Kalashnikov rifles, 24 SU-30 Sukhoi fighter jets.
Heck, they can just fly up to Mexico, cross the border, and fight us here--and probably win. Then maybe we can make them pay for school and road improvements in the Southwest.
