There is a rally set for 1 p.m. today in Washington, D.C., that seeks to push Congress to act on illegal immigration.

With Obamamnesty heating up, you can expect a very busy border over the next
year or so. And just think, they will be able to get subsidies for Obamacare!
What a country!

Title: I question....

Will the INS be at this CRIMINAL RALLY to ARREST and DEPORT to Mexico City,

Title: interesting

perhps it just my distrust of anything federal, but I have to remain
skeptical on this proposal. on the surface it sounds good, but knowing Chuck,
there’s something more to it that hasn’t come out yet. Biometric ss cards may
be nice, but that in effect becomes a national ID card. not sure that will
square with liberty. the other three proposals seem straight forward and
should be done without additional legislation.
