An article posted on the Conservative message board I belong to. I strongly agree with most of this article.
But I have to say, that I support those true Conservative Republicans that at this point in time, are holding the line on this illegal issue. But woe be it to those politicians that fold and join the rest of the pandering crowd.

Harlingen, Texas,
May 27, 2006:

When it comes to pontificating about
the righteousness of their actions, there is nobody who can hold a
candle to members of the United States Congress. Things that are
clear as crystal to everyone else in the country are in the view of
our legislators really cloudy and misunderstood by the masses. At
this moment these mournful souls are singing us a very sad song about
how 280 million people fail to see the actions our Senate has taken
on immigration are really in our best interests.

It will be a tough sell, because most of the country sees the
immigration legislation for what it really represents....
prostituting our security for political advantage. In the case of
the Senate bill, many see it as a complete sellout. Republicans bowed
their heads and submitted as Democrats pandered to the extreme left
of their party and the Hispanic hoards screaming in the streets.

The Republicans did some pandering of their own. They sold their
souls to those business interests that fear fines and legal action
should they be charged with hiring those who illegally enter our
country, forge documents and claim benefits that are not rightfully
theirs. The GOP senators also pandered to those crowds in the
streets waving Mexican flags.

All of this is taking place at a time when American citizens are
demanding national security and an end to the stampede we are
witnessing from south of our border. Congress has once again
ignored what is happening and continues to sing us another sad song
about the impossibility of rounding up those millions of illegals and
returning them to their own countries.

Those overpaid pompous prevaricators who haunt the halls of Capitol Hill
have no thought in their heads about protecting the American people.
They have sold themselves for campaign funds, support from their
political party and votes so often and to so many special interests
that they have lost touch with reality.

Credit must be given to the House of Representatives for passing a
tough security oriented immigration bill. We can only hope that when
the two bodies meet in conference, that the House does not cave in to
political pressure and let a watered down version emerge as law.

In point of fact, the House provision that employers be fined between
$10,000 and $40,000 per violation should be made a rock solid item of
any final bill. However, you can bet your money on more pandering to
the special employer interests when that portion of the two bills is
place on the table.

Anyone who can do the math will tell you that when hiring
undocumented employees becomes too expensive for business, those jobs
will disappear. When the jobs go away, so do those who illegally
seek them.

Even the House did not vote in enough miles of security fencing or
enough troops to man the borders. The 750 miles of fence they placed
in the bill is only 25% of what is needed to cover 3,000 miles of
real estate. The Senate wasn’t even that generous, that body only
voted enough security fences to cover a tenth of our southern border.

It would seem that if the American people wanted to fill all the
seats in Congress with spineless beings, they should just purchase a
large aquarium filled with Jellyfish. That is really what we have
now, but this brand of the species costs us a lot more money.

In the meantime, we must continue to put up with this sorry
collection we have placed in the highest offices of our government.
They keep selling themselves and selling out the people over and over
again...and we keep hearing their Academy Award winning theme
song...”Its Hard Out Here For A Pimp”.
