    No Way, No How, but Specter Says Immigration Still Has ‘Momentum’

    What is Sen. Arlen Specter thinking? Barely a month has passed since the Senate immigration overhaul collapsed, yet here comes the Pennsylvania Republican, proposing to restart the debate.

    Specter circulated a draft last week that would go straight to his colleagues’ sore spot. He would allow the more than 12 million illegal immigrants to receive legal status but would stop short of offering them a path to citizenship, believing that that small change will mollify Republican critics who dismiss legalization as “amnesty.â€

    Specter is a typical Northern liberal pretending to be a conservative.

    I'm from Pennsylvania and I assure you that this moron will not serve another term. He barely beat Pat Toomey in the primary (1.5% margin) in '04. He has only made himself more hated by the Republican base. He plans on running for another term in '10 and I guarantee you that I will communicate with every person I know and educate them about this guy.
    Hopefully Toomey will run again and this time the old goat will lose. If he does win the primary, he will go down in the general election. We may as well have a liberal democrat as there's no difference!!
    I attended an immigration rally a few weeks ago and a couple of the speakers railed on about this jerk, so people are definitely insensed about what this guy is doing. He has lost the people concerned about immigration and this time will be his Waterloo.
    Good riddance!

    Keep us posted on the Penn. politics 31scout. I know Specter has been raising some $$, but I hope Penn. voters send him a message. And even though even amnesty Jon Kyl is skeptical of Specter's plan right now, we'll have to keep a watchful eye on it and the pro-amnesty forces.

    Can you imagine, Specter wants to legalize the 12-20+ illegals (i.e., AMNESTY) PLUS apparently (based on the limited details available) the full continuance of "family reunification" (not even a small move towards skill-based immigration like the most recent amnesty plan had). NO!! The American people will NOT be fooled by such a transparent scheme!
