John McCain Joins Ted Kennedy to Push New Fast-Track Amnesty Bill
By Jim Kouri
Dec 26, 2006

The latest scuttlebutt on Capitol Hill is that Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and his friend Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) are planning to introduce a new immigration bill that is even more liberal than their past "amnesty" bill. They're calling it a fast-track to citizenship for illegal aliens.

US Border Patrol agents haven't been happy with Senator John McCain (R-AZ) since he voted for the first Amnesty Bill (S. 2611). And they're not being quiet about their collective anger over the senator's actions and remarks.

But, according to members of the agents' union local 2544, Senator McCain has never been a friend to rank-and-file Border Patrol agents. Local 2544 represents US Border Patrol agents in Arizona, McCain's home state.

"He routinely ignores correspondence from Border Patrol agents and often gives the impression that he is just too big and too important to deal with us," they said.

"He attempts to undermine our mission at every turn and actively supports the criminals who violate our laws. He always trys to downplay the fact that illegal aliens knowingly and willingly violate our laws, and he is a close ally on immigration matters with Senator Ted Kennedy, who we believe is the biggest disgrace of all time in the United States Senate."

These law enforcement agents point to Senator McCain's "imperious attitude" towards rank-and-file Border Patrol agents and his complete disdain for their mission has been evident for many years.

"We will not bother listing his website [for citizens to write to him] because it's obvious he couldn't care less what the average American thinks." McCain is the frontrunner for the 2008 GOP presidential nomination and he's been touring the country trying to convince conservatives that he's one of them.

And these agents aren't just singling out McCain for their ire. Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA), who chairs the Judiciary Committee at least until January, is also in their sights. They point to how Senator Specter, at the last minute, put a clause in the Senate's shameful immigration bill that forces the United States government to "consult" with Mexico prior to planning or building any fences or barriers on our border.

"Not on Mexico's [side of the] border, but yes, on United States soil. We can't wait to see this fencing project after the "consultations" take place. Maybe they can even appoint "Congressman" Raul Grijalva to lead the "consultations" for the United States of America."

The agents said that this is the same Mexican government that sends millions of Mexican citizens here illegally to steal jobs and send billions of dollars back to Mexico. This is the same Mexican government whose soldiers smuggle drugs and shoot at Border Patrol agents. This is the same Mexican government that is corrupt to the core. This is the same Mexican government that uses its consular officers to sue the United States government.

"Great move Specter. Talk about the "FOX" guarding the henhouse."

The Senate passed a shameful immigration bill at the urging of an equally shameful George W. Bush, fresh off his dune-buggy riding jaunt in Yuma surrounded by a bunch of adoring, star-struck Border Patrol managers, quipped the agents.

"This bill cheapens citizenship in this country (again), it throws the rule of law out the window (again), it places unconscionable burdens on DHS (verifying the identity of every illegal alien in this country within 90 days), it repeats, and at a minimum, quadruples the worst immigration mistake in the history of this country.

"it sells out our sovereignty by forcing the American government to "consult with the Mexican government" before planning or building any border fences, it encourages more widespread fraud than this country has ever seen (you'll see what we're talking about if this actually passes the House), and it is completely unenforceable and will overwhelm the system," the agents said in a statement submitted to the US Senate.

"You [McCain, Kennedy, Specter, et al] have succeeded in placing the morale of frontline Border Patrol agents in the toilet just when we thought it couldn't possibly get any worse."

So what do we do now,are they going to shove this amnesty bill down our collective throats no matter what we do? We have a couple of months before they try this, what is the best thing for us to do, what is it going to take to wake up these leaders? Why, if poll after poll shows 70 to 80 percent of American people don't want this amnesty to go through, are they hell bent forcing this amnesty bill on us???

i called the phoenix office this afternoon and told them that americans do not want any kind of reform or amnesty in any way shape or form and
since mc cain thinks he wants to be the Republican nominee for 08 i let it be known that if he votes for this, that he will NEVER have my support
no way, no how, no where

Bush, McCain, Specter, Kennedy - disgraceful! They are part of a growing trend in DC to systematically ruin this country from within. These are very dark days when our leaders will not support our laws or legal citizens. If our leaders won't enforce our laws why should illegals or citizens for that matter? Respect is near gone for politicians anyway, no wonder. Respect even for our country is declining worldwide. The future of this country does not look good in so many areas, not just illegal immigration. We badly need some heroes before it is too late.

Yes, this was on the radio today. Have been waiting for them to 'slide' it into the news at a time when most folks are too busy to compute.

Today was such a day what with massive sales at the major stores and Christmas exaustion.

Good thing we're on the ball

Thanx CRUSADER, for the update!!

I believe it is up to us, a unified group of Americans, to be the Hero. I ,at this point, see no Hero looming on the horizon. I do see many predators.

This nation is screwed!!!

Now that the traitorous Socialist Democrats are in power, they along with the RINO Republicans are in the process of systematically destroying the sovereignty, and culture of this nation.

And it seems the electorate in this country have been well conditioned by the Socialist Left to betray every value we used to hold as American citizens, and for the rule of law. Most great societies have been brought down from within. This nation it seems, is no different.

And as soon as these traitorus Congressmen, and this traitorous President push through this legislation, the America our forefathers fought for will be dead.

We are all on a sinking ship.

As one poster said.... What will it take, to make these traitors in Congress pay attention to the American people?

I'm beyond frustrated!!

Yes things do look bad. I think we need to pray that these men will open their eyes to the fact they were by the Grace of God placed in their positions and that the evil they now consider to do to America and Americans will not go unpunished by Almighty God.
They in so considering this deny their oath of office, they open America to foreign invaders. They proclaim the laws of this nation mean nothing, they proclaim that in so doing they mock all our ancestors who fought and died to keep America a shining beacon of light for freedom and justice under the LAW. They proclaim that it is no longer We The People and they defile the Constitution of The United States. I can almost see the Founding Fathers with tear in their eyes at this pending abomination.
