#1 They say the bill would double the number of Border Patrol agents. But if the agents are unarmed, emasculated and forbidden by the Champ from arresting anybody what good does it do to double their number?

The problem, (dis)honorable Senators, is that you have compromised your credibility to the point where nobody believes you anymore. There are those of us who remember how you lied about immigration in 1986 and so we figure you are lying now. So you can take your new bill and shove it up your butts. We don't need new laws. We need to enforce the laws that we already have.

#2 Here's an idea. Let's go top shelf! Contract border security out to the IDF.

#3 it's another promise they'll fail to actually perform. The only sure thing in this is the amnesty

#4 Don't forget that 'They will have to wait 13 years to apply for citizenship' provision.

That too is a bold-faced lie. Homeland InSecurity will be writing up exemptions right and left until everyone is eligiable - right in time for the '14 election.

#5 Same offer during Bushies term. Never built more than a few miles of real fence extended by a 'virtual' fence along with maybe a couple dozen BP personnel. Lies from the start. Lies to the finish.

BTW - can't you just count down to the 'it's the sequester that stopped us' lie?

#6 The protection + expansion of the US Welfare-Nanny State + Socialism ranks above all.

As a class, come 2015 they think that the US Debt burden will legally, or as a matter of accounting, be passed on to the OWG + GFU e.g. NAU, etc. UNFORTUNATELY, OWG OR NO OWG THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY STILL WANT THE US-N-ONLY-THE-US TO PAY THE LARGEST SHARE OF CONTRIBUTIONS + DEBT.

IOW, the US will still end up being responsible for its Debt no matter ow the DemoLefties + Aligned try to hide it or pass it on.

#7 US Debt stands roughly at 17.2Trilyuhn, US Congresscritters + Politicos are still using the old number of $16.7Trilyuhn on the MSM-Net, + I S-T-I-L-L don't see Mexico, Canada, Greenland, etal. in any rush to help pay or reduce the US Debt.
