Reid moves Amnesty vote from WED to next MON night

From Roy Beck, Numbers USA


All of your calls and faxes are helping to block the amnesty deal.

Senate Majority Leader Reid (D-Nev.) had insisted that he would force an amnesty vote Wednesday morning in an attempt to push everybody to come to an agreement.

But the negotiations broke down again tonight and it was clear that the amnesty vote would have lost tomorrow.

Reid says there is a lot of progress and he hopes the White House, Sen. Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Sen. Kyl (R-AZ) will agree to the details of the amnesty by next Monday night.

And Senate Minority Leader McConnell (R-KY) is saying tonight that negotiations continue tomorrow and that he is very hopeful the amnesty will come together by Monday.

So, we have our work cut out for us.

For now, we at NumbersUSA are going to get a good night's sleep.

We will get back to you tomorrow on next steps that need to be taken.

I understand from the GOP debate tonight on TV that Sen. McCain (R-Ariz.) again reminded us all why this country is in such a mess on immigration -- the ability of major political figures to do a combination of massive lying and self-deception. McCain was the author of last year's bill that would have given permanent residence to nearly all illegal aliens, but he said tonight that he has never supported amnesty! As Rosemary testified, the bill that McCain has pushed has the same basic outline as the bill in 1986 that everybody agrees WAS an amnesty!

I am half wondering if the Dems told him to back off. There seems to be a lot of support lately on getting rid of the amensty proposal. This due mostly to the finding of the New Jersey terrorists. I think maybe he has been told to back off from the Dems. Lets hope so. They have to know that this is something that could kill the Dems in 2008. It could also be said it will kill the Republicans. I don't think anyone except stupid McCain who must be getting paid the bucks would endorse this idiot bill.

The day after tomorrow, Thursday May 17 will be the pro-invader march in Los Angeles part II. We got to be on our A game because all the open-border groups will be demanding amnesty at that march.

You can bet all the cameras will be there for them.

I'm confused when is this happening tonight or next week?

This may just be a cooling off period.
They might be hoping that we will run out of steam by the weekend and move on to other interests and then the Senate will have the weekend to forget the mayhem and be more persuadable on Monday morning.
More incentive for us to keep the pressure mounting not declining all week long and make sure they come in monday morning to stacks of faxes and emails!

Awwww, that's thoughtful. Now the Senators have time to read the 700+ pages, in the next 5 days.

That's a good point Dixie. Wasn't it on Lou Dobbs where he asked Senator Jeff Sessions how many senators he thought actually read that shamnesty bill they passed last year and he said probably .01% or something like that. Scary to think senators vote on bills they don't read. No wonder this country is in such a mess.

BINGO!!!

The big push by the American Legion recently in opposition to amnesty may have prompted them to cool it for a few days. They don't want to so obviously oppose veterans. So they will delay their dirty business for 5 days in hopes that the vets won't notice. LOL, these politicians are so d--n stupid.

Good Morning everybody! This may be old news by now, but I got a link to a summary of the lousy bill (S-134 that got removed from the Thomas Law Library site yesterday. If you are interested it is at:
