Tancredo praises Senate voteImmigration overhaul implodes

Jun 7:
Senate vote puts 5-year limit on guest worker programAn immigration reform measure that appeared to die in the Senate on Thursday could return next month, Sen. Ken Salazar, one of the measure's chief architects, said today.

At a press conference at his Denver office, the Colorado Democrat said Senators would turn their attention to the energy bill next week, but that he is hopeful they will return to immigration reform in July.

"Failure on immigration reform is not an option," he said. "For this Congress and Washington not to deal with immigration reform is an abdication of responsibility."

If action is not taken now, Salazar said, immigration reform may have to wait up to five years.

This is why we have to keep the pressure on! Keep kicking down this terrible monster amnesty bill down the road, closer to the prez pimaries. The elite pols know this is not popular with most Americans, especially those who vote!!

Don't believe the "JULY DATE".

It is likely to be within the next two to three weeks, according to what I heard on the radio tonight. (Hugh Hewitt with Jon Kyl).

The John and Ken show had Congressman Ed Royce on today. He said there will probably be secret meetings again to try to figure out how to bring this bill back soon. He also talked with some senators (didn't say who) that admited to having rec'd thousands of calls (all against the bill) so they had to take their phones off the hook. Royce believes the bill went down due to public pressure plus the recent meeting of the Assoc of Border Patrol officers denouncing the bill. So he suggested the public keep the pressure on. Also mentioned they are all on recess during August.

Keep the pressure on Congress, Senate and White House... We just won the first round... We have to keep punching the beast....

I do agree with you.
That D____ bill is coming back in the next few weeks.
We need to keeping calling.

We need to stress we want a bill that gives no amnesty, enforces our laws with the goal of attrition, gives state and local police more authority, builds the 800 miles of fence etc. No more writeing legislation behind closed doors with special interest groups and a president who has no bussiness writing legislation, its not his branch of government.

FAILURE to represent the American People is an abdication of responsibility and to pander to illegals is a disgrace Senator. I am SO ashamed that you hold office in my state. I, along with other Americans will make sure you are relieved of your duties as soon as possible.
