Giving Jorge the Byrd
Senator Byrd, who hasn't been heard from often since his wife passed away, is on the floor of the Senate now.... he is shaming the Senate, and Viceroy Jorge, for passing amnesty under a false name. Byrd says the House, and the people at large, have it exactly right.
This is the first actual surprise and genuine shock in this whole mess, and given Byrd's seniority might actually have an effect.
No, it won't. Viceroy Jorge won't betray his oath of loyalty to Emperor Vicente.
Byrd is always memorable, whether he's right or wrong, and this time he's right:
"Amnesties undermine the great American promise of equal enforcement of the law."
"This is a slap in the face to responsible immigrants."
"Amnesties encourage other undocumented aliens to circumvent our legal process."
"The result is always the same. For every group allowed in, a bigger group follows."
"This bill would actually pardon employers, and repeal provisions in current law that forbid low (in-state) tuition for illegals." (I didn't know that!)
"This bill would allow aliens to bypass State Dept checks in their country of origin."
"It only took 19 illegal visa holders to unleash the terrible destruction of 9/11."
"6000 guardsmen without the power to enforce laws are not going to make a difference."
"Our experience shows that we cannot play games with American borders."
BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO.
