Graham's on now right before supper.

Oh the Irony!
Let's hope everyone is having a nice pot roast for dinner.

Dorgan yields...

To Jim Webb (D-VA);

Now Webb is speaking - it sounds like he is going to support Dorgan's Amendment. Who is speaking for the hard-working people of our society?
Who is speaking for them?

Corp. profits at an all time high.
Wages are stagnant or declining.

Wages of low-paid workers are being undercut but an underground economy.

I support giving status to those that came here illegally at one point.

But,the bill is designed to increase complexities of what we're faced with.

(etc).

[Summary, he supports amnesty, but won't support GW program - ie. will support Dorgan Amendment which will effectively nix GW imports to around 0]

This is the party is that is supposed to stand up for the hard-working people of our society...

Yields to Specter...


Specter speaks:

I urge colleagues to reject Dorgan Amendment.

(Blah, blah - wants to have GWs - doesn't like Dorgan's position).

Specter ends.

Yields back to Dorgan...


Dorgan: Offers time to Fatboy...

Mr. Ed is only concerned about illegal aliens getting worker rights. That's his whole argument. "Unless you legalize them all - they will always be exploited".

How bout you don't come here...then you won't be exploited Einstein.

When one is screaming and says "chicken pluckers" it sure can easily sound like something else

Kennedy is yelling again.

Who in their right mind would believe a word this man says?
Credibility zero!

Kennedy:

1965: "The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs."
