This immigration debate currently going on in the Senate is looking more like a three ring circus than anything else.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona says it's "un-American to be selective about whom we let into this country."
What the hell does that mean?
He's spending way too much time with Ted Kennedy.
All I know is
amnesty does not work. Let us all remember 1986 when we voted for amnesty thinking it would solve our immigration problems. Now, twenty years later, we have over 12 million illegal immigrants and the problem getting worse.
Michelle Malkin calls it "
The Most Important Debate Of The Year"
An extraordinary exchange just took place on the Senate floor over the last 40 minutes. It's the most important debate of the year, in my opinion.
The questions are these: Who do we let into this country and how many?
On one side of the debate: Democrat Sen. Jeff Bingaman of N.M. and Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama.
On the other side, the blubbering open-borders duo of GOP Sen. John McCain of Arizona and Democrat Sen. Teddy Kennedy of Massachusetts.
Bingaman is offering an amendment to cap the number of visas for legal permanent residents at 650,000. The current Senate immigration bill essentially obliterates the current employer-based green card cap of 140,000. Spouses and children currently count against that cap. Under the Senate bill, that would no longer be true. There would be, in effect, no limits. Bingaman's cap would be four times the current rate--yet both McCain and Kennedy are responding hysterically as if Bingaman has proposed some human rights crackdown on the world.
Hot Air has the video. It's a must see.
McCain compares guest-worker tax treatment to Jim Crow.
