   Good. Rule of law is what these guys are supposed to be about. I don’t care D or R right is right and wrong is wrong. Hopefully we’ll get some security along our borders.

   Well I sure hope this is one lost soul who makes it to the light before the demoncrats guide him back into the darkness.

   I had a feeling there were a few of these Democratic Nicodemus’s out there but haven’t heard from many in a long while.

   He’s an NC rep. He’ll get thrown out if he isn’t for securing the borders. In NC only about 20% of people favor amnesty of any kind. . . that is one of the reasons Rudy will have trouble here.

   I blogged about this as well.

   There is one major potential problem I have with this bill. This may infact bloat government substantially. I have not heard the specifics of how Shuler plans to prevent that.

   That said, if this bill gets a full and fair debate, then that problem can be worked out. It is the job of people like us, who abhor illegal immigration, to demand that this bill see the light of day so that people can debate it so that it can be improved.

   I am also a bit concerned that I couldn’t find anything about it on Shuler’s site. If he isn’t publicizing it himself then how is the rest of the country going to know.

    We should stand for the rule of law and what is right. We cannot, we must not, and we should not reward those who have broken the law.

    Wait… their job is not to do whatever it takes to get future dem. voters into the country? Well now I just don’t know what to think.

    Not exactly about the proposed bill, but someone sent me a forward today with this 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 1919

    In case I wasn’t the last person to receive this, I thought I’d share it. I looked up some other things Roosevelt had to say on immigration, there’s some great stuff there.

    Mr Shuler is a former University of Tennessee quarterback. In his years under center he was used to fighting adversity. Maybe that experience will do him some good in his quest to do the right thing and not just be a “follow the herd” democrat.

    #14 – I know, I rely heavily on the preview button (for obvious reasons)…I hope it’s only temporarily out of service. In the meantime I guess I’ll just use Word and cut and paste, but that clearly didn’t help with my quote.

    This immigration issue has make numerous strange bedfellows. Regardless of party, there has been mixed allegiances on the immigration issue. Others simply want to enforce the rule of law.
    If one of the democratic candidates had the guts to be tough on illegal immigration, he’d surely gain on Hillary.

    Both parties should own this issue, The Democrats for the jobs and the middle class and the Republicans for the sovereignty and the rule of law.

    Americans benefit should always come before foreigners and the loyalty of our leaders should never be in doubt.

    The public has had it with politicians selling our interests out from under us.

    Heath is from the Asheville area in Western North Carolina. As he is my US Rep., I am glad to see he is on the right side of this – he is supposed to be a “Blue Dog” Democrat. I believe he signed the Limbaugh Letter, so I had just about put him into the “Running Dog” Democrat category. I may have to rethink that!

    30 pcs of silver said in a earlier comment, “Dems are on the chopping block.” Tru, even a large number of dems want illegal immigration stopped. For my comment, I would revise that to “Dem Shuler is on the chopping block”…and his fellow dems will be holding the act. If this proposal of his gets any legs, they will punish him in some fashion.

    Heath Shuler was also a QB for the
    Washington Redskins … suspect he got some insight as to what was going on in DC while living there …

    I see your concern but if the agencies that are already in place start living up to their responsibilities and doing their jobs by enforcing ALL the laws already on the books there won’t be a need to add a bunch of new bureaucracy …

    and you would think that living here in california, they would be especially aware of the damage the lack of enforcing laws has done to the educational system and the health care system. NOPE.. They just keep on pandering to the foreign interests…

    It doesn’t do me any good to fax my representatives, they are the ones usually leading the charge for amnesty. I just wish that the rest of California would wake up and stop voting for these democraps.

    What’s happened to Michelle’s web page? Is anybody else getting what I’m getting… all text, no HTML (except links)? It’s been this way since yesterday.

    I’ve reloaded page, rebooted Firefox, rebooted computer. Still the same. Other web pages are coming in just fine (including Hot Air).

    Also NO PREVIEW BUTTON!

    Have not the fires in California shown us anything about over crowding in the USA?. How long must we have illegal immigrattion. It has to be controlled because I don’t even think most Democrats want this nation to be as crowded as India or China. Legal Immigration should be slowed and Illegal immigration has to be stopped but I don’t think it will because there is already too much of a fifth column here now.

    Sad to say I see E-Verify as something that is marginally helpful.
    To pass it a worker just needs matching information; if E-Verify comes into broader use, there will simply be more identity theft UNLESS an additional check is added – that being how many other employers are making payments into the account.
    The applicant is asked for 7 years of employment history (including current);
    if for example applicant says “not currently employed” and enhanced E-Verify shows the SSN has been paid into recently, the check fails.
