another right wing lie......every liberal I have read, or heard is against illegal immigration.......and not one has said they favor death row scum over citizens.....where do you get this crap? or do you just make it up?

Wow, where's the Looney Jerk article finding fact checking machine when you need it?


Never mind....I will do it....

80 percent of House Democrats said no to enhanced border security and increased enforcement of laws prohibiting the employment of illegal immigrants. The proposed bill required the use of a basic pilot program, which helps employers determine whether their employees are legal.

• 74 percent of House Democrats said no to national security standards for drivers’ licenses to prevent alien terrorists from getting identification documents. The REAL ID Act aimed at keeping out and removing alien terrorists from the U.S.

• 63 percent of House Democrats said no to strengthening border security by constructing reinforced fences along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Senate Democrats also have refused to reduce illegal immigration. For example:

• 75 percent of Senate Democrats said no to enforcing immigration laws before beginning the legalization process for the 12 million illegal immigrants now in the U.S. By opposing the common-sense Coburn Amendment, many Democrats rejected the American public’s call for immigration enforcement.

• 86 percent of Senate Democrats said no to increasing the number of detention beds, allowing for the confinement of illegal immigrants to ensure their appearance for immigration hearings.

• 84 percent of Senate Democrats said no to funding 800 more immigration investigators.

Compare those numbers to the 69 percent of Americans who said they want illegal immigration reduced.

I lost my mother when I was 10yrs old. How I envied my friends who had mothers. My father was quite foreign, spoke broken english, never re-married. Thank God I had a wonderful 16yr older brother who helped raise me. Dad passed 7mo before I was to be married.

Anyone who has been able to enjoy their parents for a good length of time is the greatest gift they could ever have.....

Care to post a picture of your mother so we can comment? I think you're out of line.

I wouldn't be stupid enough to use a picture of my mother as an avatar- and she is nowhere near that ugly.

You post your mother first Kate.

Smart ass.

I'm only saying that it was pretty crude and cruel to be saying that about someone's mother.

Smart ass yourself.
