What is suprising is that any of these guys could vote for it again after knowing what a failure amnesty has always been! It only leads to more illegal migration across the border.

What surprises me is that Kennedy and McCain voted against it. I though I heard Kennedy voted for it all those years ago. But I know this has to be right. I found this in Lou Dobb's website.

whats even more funny is Kennedy helped write the damn 86 bill
and still voted NO on it.. makes no sense

I know, even Craig voted against it. Crazy, huh?

Traitors voted AGAINST it because they thought they would actually ENFORCE part of it.......the part about employer sanctions.
