Roger is sitting in for Rush today. He is reading Zogby Poll right now. Talking about Immigration Bill.


http://www.wmal.com/listenlive.asp

Reading Kate O'Beirne's comments from National Review. Cloture needs 60 Votes. Chambliss and Isaakson said yesterday will vote NO on cloture.


He is reading the list of Senators who need to be persuaded.

Now Roger is speaking on the amendments

Talking about family members brought in who immediately go on social services due to age, whatever.

Merit based doesn't kick in for 8 yrs.

The "CLAY PIGEON" issue- take cloture vote, amendment vote next (22), entertain no others, then cloture vote, 50 plus 1 on the end of that day

if take cloture vote first, hard time coming up with 60 votes

Playing speech by Bush - from few days ago

Bush made speech to builders and made statements - there will be benchmarks for employers to comply with law - employers do not want to be document checkers Bush said

Roger talking about the amendments are to give cover to the senators

Cornyn filed 30 amendments - none made it for the cut

Watch Senator Grassley - he and Obama have amendment -

Bill requires anyone getting a job to have real id

MSNBC have done a story on fake papers easy to find / in Juarez, Mexico reporters got offers for documents within 15 mins. "look a like document" will pass unless looked at carefully

talking about Ramos and Compeon - former Border Patrol agents -

Bill requires anyone getting a job to have real id

If that means Americans ....that is BULLCRAP
The Whole damn bill is BULLCRAP

We should be aware of Aug 20,21 the AMERICAN SUMMIT, Security and Prosperity deal goes on

Bush, Prime Minister of Canada, and President of Mexico will gather again and figure out ways to increase trade between countries

NAU is the goal of this union - no illegals, because we all join together

4 Lane Highway from Mexico to Denver - part of infrastructure

increased trade good Roger says, but on agenda things that dilute our citizenship

we need to be citizens of North America, to compete with European Union and China, the SPP proponents believe

we have a unique constitution, we do not need to be part of this union

redbadger, I believe we can look at the Grassley, Obama amendment. I saw it on the list.
