Thread: BLACKMAIL: Instant $4 billion for border security?

$4 BILLION offer: Are the pro-immigration bill Senators trying to BLACKMAIL the non-supporters of the immigration bill with this $4 billion dollars carrot for BORDER SECURITY?

1. Sign along the dotted line, and we will instantly provice $4 billion for
border security.

2. If you don't sign along dotted line, Bush will NOT provide the $4 billion for border security.

3. Question: Why can't BUSH provide the $4 billion immediately even if the Kennedy immigration bill fails in the Senate? Why must the money be tied to this AMNESTY immigration bill?

4. BLACKMAIL: It sure sounds and looks like BLACKMAIL to me. mirse

I think they are threatening these Senators by threatening to run campaign ads or mailers against them in the next election saying "Senator _____ refused to support border security!"

Another thing that is being said is that the fines and penalties paid by the illegals once they are legalized will pay back the money appropriated for this border security. In otherwords, we can't have one without the other. Yes, it is blackmail plain and simple!

Duncan Hunter says the same, "Border security shouldn't be conditioned on amnesty."

Duh
