Thread: OBAMA AND McCAIN REACH AGREEMENT ON AMNESTY

I have not seen this posted yet. Harry Reid has said that Obama and McCain have reached an agreement to move forward on "immigration" which we can reasonably assume means amnesty. Also, note that Reid says he's "got McCain" and "a few others" and he doesn't expect "much of a fight at all" on this issue.

Reid says Democrats to tackle big issues
BY DEBORAH BARFIELD BERRY • GANNETT NEWS SERVICE • November 23, 2008

WASHINGTON -- Buoyed by more Democrats in the House and Senate and a Democratic president-elect, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he expects lawmakers next year to take on hot-button issues from immigration to health care.

The Nevada Democrat also said Congress will try early on to undo some of President George W. Bush's recent executive orders, including ones on environment policies.

Last week, Reid discussed his priorities for the next Congress.

QUESTION: What are your priorities for the first 100 days of the session?

ANSWER: We're going to have to take care of a lot of nominations. ... We have to finish our appropriations process. We have a number of issues to repeal -- presidential orders (Bush) put in in the last few weeks. ... On the environment, for example, we're looking at clean-air regulations.

Q: Will it be an easier pitch with more Democrats in Congress?

A: Yes, next year it will be much easier to do. ... I'll have a larger majority here; so will ( House Speaker Nancy) Pelosi. We'll have a new president. And I think the Republicans come from the same states we come from. They have a lot of issues they need help with.

Q: What failed efforts disappoint you?

A: I wish we would have passed the speculation bill dealing with oil. I wish we could have gotten more money for infrastructure. We got quite a bit. But ... we should have a major infrastructure development program in our country.

Q: With more Democrats in the Senate and the House and a Democrat in the White House, how do you see congressional efforts playing out on such issues as health care and immigration?

A: On immigration, there's been an agreement between (President-elect Barack) Obama and (Arizona Republican Sen. John) McCain to move forward on that. ... We'll do that. We have to get this economy stuff figured out first, so I think we'll have a shot at doing something on health care in the next Congress for sure.

Q: Will there be as much of a fight on immigration as last time?

A: We've got McCain and we've got a few others. I don't expect much of a fight at all. Now health care is going to be difficult. That's a very complicated issue. We debated at great length immigration. People understand the issues very well. We have not debated health care, so that's going to take a lot more time to do

Well, are our anti-illegal immigration organiation leaders organizing to give Obama and Congress "the fight they don't expect" on amnesty legislation? I surely hope so.

There's going to be a hell of a fight, mark my words.

Seems Harry Reid is a senile idiot. 20 million Americans will be out of work, our economy is being sucked into a black hole, and he wants to give 20 million illegal aliens amnesty?

A: On immigration, there's been an agreement between (President-elect Barack) Obama and (Arizona Republican Sen. John) McCain to move forward on that. ... We'll do that.

Birds of a feather........

On immigration, there's been an agreement between (President-elect Barack) Obama and (Arizona Republican Sen. John) McCain to move forward on that. ... We'll do that.

Who died and left McCain in charge of making agreements for the Republicans in the U.S. Senate? To my knowledge McCain does not hold, nor has he ever held, a leadership position within the party's Senate caucus. Does someone know something I don't? Being a failed presidential candidate does not automatically qualify one to assume a leadership position.

Yes there will be No giving up and NO giving in.

Why, Harry Reid should be especially knowledgeable on the immigration issue----being from the state with the consistently highest violent crime rates:

World: North America
Nevada is the most violent state

The fastest growing economy in the US also has a burgeoning crime rate: Nevada marks its third consecutive year as the most violent state in the Union, according Morgan Quitno Press.

Thursday, March 22, 2007By Spero News
According to a study released March 22 by Morgan Quitno Press, Nevada was named the nation’s most dangerous state. This marks the third consecutive year that the Silver State has earned this designation.

The announcement was made in “Crime State Rankings 2006â€

RE- Illegal Immigration...

Mr. Harry Reid
US Congress Member and Speaker of the House.

Mister Reid,
As an American Citizen, i DEMAND that you not try to shove amnesty for illegal aliens down the throats of the american people again. You had two attempts in 07 to shove this amnesty crap down the american citizens throat that we stood up and SAID HELL NO both times, including crashing the phone system of the US Capital so that you and other members COULD NOT get or make phone calls. and by god, im here to tell your sorry ass that we will be doing it again. With the american economy sucking big time, the last thing america and american taxpayers need is to give amnesty to 20-30 million illegal alien lawbreakers. it does not matter if they come across the borders illegally, OR overstay visas of any kind. Illegal is illegal and that means lawbreakers.

ENOUGH with the talk of screwing the american people and saying the american people want answers to this problem... I HAVE THE ANSWER ALREADY HARRY------ ENFORCE LAWS ALREADY ON THE BOOK that you and other members in DC have refused to enforce. we do not need new laws when the laws are already on the books. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. please tell me your not this stupid and not this senile to think america is going to accept this garbage or anything that allows illegal alien lawbreakers to stay in this country. A country that my real father, adopted father, numerous uncles and cousins fought for.

STOP SCREWING WITH THE US
