#2 I think the time is coming very soon for the second Constutional Convention. Apparently these politicians just don't get that the people they're supposed to respresent don't like it and won't have it.

#4 Part zero. Border Security: Take all means necessary to secure our borders; in particular to stop the invasion from Mexico.
Funny, while this is a main concern of constituents, it is totally ignored by the "masters of the universe".

#5 I have no basic problem with reconsidering individual pieces of the bill, and doing so with proper time for discussion and amendment. The fact is, our immigration problem is actually many problems; address the pieces we can.
For instance, more than a few immigrants have already served admirably in our military, mostly legally, but no doubt some fraudulently; that service earns bonus points from me. Discuss farm labor issue independently and I suspect an acceptable compromise can be reached - not a blanket amnesty. On educational opportunities - maybe a merit-based system that requires something in return (service, useful major, etc.) Improvements to the legal immigration system have long been needed - for instance we just can't find enough techically competent young engineers and other scientists - our kids just are not doing the work it takes to excell in those challenging fields. If we won't grow our own, and we won't import what we need, then we will for sure export the work to India or such (even more than we already do.) Again, some compromise may be needed to protect working Americans, but it should not be a blanket condemnation of all immigration legislation. What we have NOW is already broken and needs to be fixed; the problem was that the proposed comprehensive reform bill was only going to make it worse.

#7 You don't understand, certain senators have already been bought and paid for. Their wives have new furs and jewels, cars, yachts and vacations. This is no time to waver. Their new masters, big chicken and big celery are waiting for eager workers as promised.
I see a line of 45 senators bowing to big chicken and saying 'we will serve you now, master' 'first we must take a few trucks to town and pretend we have construction jobs waiting, then you will have all the help you need.'

#8 It is time to start taking pieces of certain senators. Good lord the fuckers are proving to be completely corrupt and ignoring THEIR bosses. Us. Remember dingbats, we have killed leaders before for less than this. We just really still believe in the process of democracy too much to let loose on you morons yet. You are dangerously close to us completely losing it.
