Immigration bill's demise suggests many are OK with status quo

[Sofiyya 1,687]

There's a lot of simple minded rhetoric coming from pro-illegal venues, and the argument that those who are against this porous bill are for the status quo is one of them. The staus quo is that we don't enforce the law, and I'm against that. One of my idiot senators and a sponsor of this lame-brained bill, Ken Salazar (whince!) used that talking point just the other day in his repudiation of his opposition. His staff is sick of hearing from me; I call them every day to remind them that, unlike their illegals, I consistantly vote.

The problem with Congress is if they aren't debating and passing new laws, they look like they're not doing anything, so they want to look like they're doing something. They're quickly bored by the laws they already passed. This is what we get for that dicotomy; do-nothing laws by two-faced, do-nothings.

"amnesty amnesty amnesty" is all we here from the so called "conservative" anti-illegal crowd. not simple minded rhetoric.

Do not make the mistake of assuming that all of the anti-illegal crowd are conservatives. I'm not.

What's wrong with calling the proposed amnesty what it is? Just sitting there claiming that it ain't one doesn't make the fact that it is one go away.

I used to date a girl named Amnesty, but I ended up breaking up with her because of her shady past.

Her deeds were done long before I met her. I tried to look beyond her past, but I let others' impressions of her drown out all reason.

I thought the whole problem with the recent bill is that it was the status quo...

A conservative view is typically one that is guarded against change - status quo. You don't have to necessarily vote in that direction to have a position that is conservative (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

Have you shared with Jinky yet that you would oppose her maybe wanting to sponsor her parents down the road but rather give that now existing opportunity to some business that is just looking to turn larger profits?

Still waiting for Steven's answer...
