Have you noticed lately that the Democrats accuse Republicans of politicizing on every single issue before Congress?
It
is clear that the Dems strategy here is to show the American people
that Republicans care more about retaining their seats in Congress than
helping the American people. This is a bold-faced lie. Further
immigration legislation has been introduced by Republicans in the
Congress, but cannot get voted on because Democrats are having their
‘waste-of time’ sessions every day. Murtha now wants a vote on
no-confidence on Donald Rumsfeld in the House. Didn’t we just go
through this in the Senate? If Democrats stopped introducing idiotic
legislation and concentrated on tackling the real issues, then maybe
something could get done before November. But they can’t and won’t get
anything done before November. It is clear that if any major vote
transpires between now and November’s election it could change the
results.
They decide to attack Republicans on the issues they
know can grant them [the dems] a better chance at victory this fall,
the Iraq War, stem cell research and health care. Unfortunately, the
debate on these 3 examples will be going on long after the Nov.
election. The Democrats refuse to allow a vote on immigration bills
that are sitting before them. The issue has completely stalled in the
Senate, which is why you never hear about it anymore, and it is being
attacked in the House for being ‘too tough’. But it did pass, Democrat
lawmakers want to amend it to match the Senate’s version.
First,
since when is going after people who break the law considered ‘too
tough’? Are our police forces ‘too tough’ on the murderers, thieves,
gang members and rapists that are roaming the streets today who do not
have citizenship in this country? If you ask me they are not tough
enough.
Second, if everyone agrees on border security, which
they should and will because it’s the #1 thing all Americans agree on,
why can’t they at least pass one piece of legislation on this issue in
the Senate? Oh wait, I know, they are still talking about the bill that
was a horrible excuse for immigration reform. The one that grants
Social Security benefits to illegal aliens; for restricting the ability
of local police to detain illegal aliens; and for requiring the U.S.
government to consult with Mexican officials before building a border
fence. Apparently they think these are good ideas, but the vast
majority of Americans do not, hence why Republicans have decided to
rework the legislation.
They cannot allow illegal immigrants to
collect social security when no social security is being paid by them.
Why should we restrict our local police forces from apprehending people
who enter this country illegally? Maybe we should not have police. Why
in the world should we consult with Mexico on what we wish to do in our
own country? Did Mexico consult with us first before handing out maps
to its citizens on how to cross the border into our country, illegally?
The
Democrats amaze me. They continue to deceive the American by backing
legislation that greatly endangers our national security. If the
majority of Americans knew what these bills contained they certainly
would not vote for Democrats in the fall. They are the ones truly
playing politics, by keeping them out of site until November, so that
if they take control of congress they can pass their weak bills that in
the long run will greatly injure this country.
Perhaps they should analyze their own actions before being critical of the actions of others.
