Chappaquiddick Update
From Federation for American Immigration Reform:
Senators Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and Larry Craig (R-ID) have vowed to enact an amnesty program for millions of illegal aliens, even if it means holding every other piece of Senate legislation hostage to accomplish it. The two senior legislators have promised to attach their Agricultural Jobs, Opportunity, Benefits and Security Act (AgJobs) to every Senate bill for the remainder of the year. Their first target is the Defense Authorization bill now being debated in the Senate.
The AgJobs bill would allow virtually every illegal alien who has worked in agriculture in the U.S. to gain legal residence for themselves and their families. Based on the language of the legislation, and past experience, millions more people would likely gain legal residence fraudulently. Among those who fraudulently gained amnesty under a similar agricultural worker provision of a 1986 law were two Egyptian terrorists and New York City taxicab drivers—Mahmud and Mohammed Abouhalima—who later participated in the 1993 World Trade Center bombings.

This is an outrage! We are fighting a war on terror and these two idiots want to give American citizenship to people who don't respect our laws.Our government couldn't find a guy who wanted to blow up a shopping mall in Columbus, OH amongst the petitioners for amnesty; what makes Teddy Boy and his RINO pal Craig think multiplying the number of applicants is going to do?
Immigration reform that doesn't include serious border protection is worthless. And if these two fools want to hold up the business of the nation while they whine about wanting to put this country in more danger; they will pay the political price for doing so.

Andrew Stuttaford on the NRO Corner reminds me that Sen. Larry Craig (RINO-ID) held up Air Force promotions during a time of war until he got some pork for his home state. Real classy guy...Mark's Remarks
So much for serving the interests of the American people, of doing what is best for the most! This drunken murderer and his crony are holding the American legislature hostage, they are holding up the business of the people because of their own interests and shameless interest in power of the good of the American people! Write them! Bombard them with the castigation these morons deserve...of course, Teddy will have to have it read to him, as he is usually too drunk too read.
