Thread: McCaskill (D-Mo) kicks booty on the Senate floor...

She took the "Masters of the Grand Compromise" along with Bush to task. And she put employers on notice that she will be proposing an amendment that "you will be prosecuted and go to jail" if you hire illegal aliens.

Nice!

Can we count on her to vote NO on the second cloture vote?

If they would ACTUALLY DO THIS it wouldn't take very long to get them in line!!!!

I think McKaskills argument points up the dilemna that socially conservative movements are facing. There is often a conflict of interest with the big contributors. Coors Beer and the Council on National Policy is a prime example.

In this case we may need the financial contributions of larger businesses to acheve a true immigration reform MOVEMENT, not merely legislation! Most of this legislation will bear little fruit without reasonable and cost effective enforcemnt provisions. I don't know if putting CEO's for a long stretch behind bars is the answer; but it is something an anti business DEM would think of..

Anti-dem?

How about COMMON SENSE? Until employers find out we mean business, would you have us continue the status quo? NO enforcement or just a pat on the wrist?

Get real! ANYONE - corporation, business or individual who hires illegal aliens should be fined BIG BUCKS a prison sentence for repeat hiring.
