Commentary:
The Failure of Immigration Reform Has Created a Living Hell. What’s Next?
By Frank Sharry

I am an immigrant advocate. I have worked in the nation’s capitol for more than a decade in pursuit of comprehensive immigration reform legislation that would enfranchise millions of undocumented workers, reunite families separated for years by restrictions and backlogs, and admit needed workers in a way that would protect their rights, and do so in a way that would restore the rule of law to our nation’s dysfunctional immigration system.
A year ago I predicted that an admittedly flawed comprehensive immigration reform bill would clear the U.S. Senate, get improved and approved in the House of Representatives, and be signed into law. I was wrong. In June of 2007 the Senate bill crashed and burned before the House ever had a chance to take it up.

The so-called “grand bargainâ€

Sharry of course, like all the rest of the open-borders, pro-amnesty liberal nuts...ignores the violence, crime going on at our borders at the hands of the illegal alien human traffickers and the drug cartels.....the fence has to built and we must have COMPREHENSIVE BORDER SECURITY as well as COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. Amnesty is clearly off the table....AMERICANS can see through all of the LA RAZA, and its allies tactics to change the "language of the debate" ....high-paid spin misers can't fool Americans who want our laws enforced and respected and our borders secured.

see.. thats the point, there is no GRAND BARGAIN.... we will not tolerate ILLEGAL ALIENS ENTERING OUR COUNTRY

Killing Citizens
Maiming citizens (DUI)
GANG activity
Raping women and children
Drugs by the Tractor Trailer Load

and then you want citizenship Demanding AMNESTY

Get the F out of here ... are you mentally handicapped or is the 7th grade education showing through

You politicians better get it and get it soon, there will be no amnesty .. if you cant understand that millions more will come into the country the next time around ... just the same as they did this time then you are a moron and do not deserve to hold political office

YOU WORK FOR US... Not Special Interests groups, Not the Lobbyists, NOT the Chamber of Commerce, Not Laraza... you work for us. If you cannot do what 80 percent of America demands.. don't touch anything... bow your pathetic head and walk away from office

We the people will fix this if you don't pull your head out of your fourth point of contact - Your A$$

only 12 Republicans voted for a bill designed to attract their votes.

we are doing everything in our power to get rid of these 12 Republicans and put them in the un-employment line

I'm not a right wing extremist......The days of 'developing' countries languishing in last place, economically, politically and socially, when compared to America and Europe are drawing to a close. And with it the rationale for using industrialized countries as a safety valve for uncontrolled population growth. These are the times when industrialized, Western countries are taking it on the nose with outrageously high prices for raw commodities like petroleum, metals, and even food. And also when their existing industrial base is being challenged by far less expensive imports from previously impoverished countries. The competition that a small nation like Japan has posed for the United States will seem minuscule compared to what is coming from China and India.

These are not the days of dictator controlled, 'banana" republics, or of sleepy pueblos, or of naive, quaint, indigenous cultures. These are, instead, the days of worldwide Internet access, modern media that lets people know what is happening half a world away, and relentless popular efforts to bring about more democratic structures. These are not days of an isolationist United States, nor Europe, minding the home fires and trying to shut the world out. These are days when ordinary people in these countries take an active interest in bettering the lives of people they have never even met, and show willingness to travel thousands of miles to do that, and without violating those other countries laws in the process.

Mr. Sharry's arguments are positively old school--a sort of amalgam of tired welfare state policies, race baiting jingoism, disdain for cultural self-determination, inflammatory rhetoric and 1970's technology. Just as domestic welfare policies eventually proved too much of a burden for even the Democratic Party to stomach----- so will Sharry's pleas for a defacto international welfare apparatus. He says he is "all ears" if anyone has a better way to go. We'll see.

There is a problem on both sides of preaching to the choir. He is trying to reach out to the general populace by... limiting permanent immigration. Hmmm They are starting to realize where the American majority beyond the activists on both sides really stands.
