The president to be McCain or Obama are going to swamp America, with another AMNESTY proposal. That will legalize millions that taxpayers will be forced to support. Then millions more from third world countries will hop the border, looking for free handouts and nothing on earth will stop the rush.
Backroom discussions continue on whether to de-fund effective efforts that deter illegal immigration
U.S. House leaders continue to gauge whether next Tuesday (June 24) they can escape public wrath if they take funding away from a couple of the most effective enforcement procedures resulting in illegal aliens leaving the country.
No. 1: 287(g) program allowing and equipping local agencies to arrest and detain illegal aliens of all kinds.
No. 2: Arrests of any illegal alien encountered while looking for criminal alien fugitives.
You can continue to phone committee members at 202-224-3121, asking for expanded funding for the 287(g) program for local immigration enforcement.

Mr. Hussein will be our next President.
We should pray that God gives him the wisdom and strength to lead our country.
President Obama - finally a president with a vowel ending last name (score one for the Italians - Mario Cuomo!). I hope that Senator Obama picks Joe Biden for Veep. McCain, if he is smart,will choose Romney - that insures he will win Utah and keep it in the republican column. I can't imagine Obama winning here in Nevada. The cow counties are scared to death of a black man (even though he is half-white) in the White House. Those voters will turn out in record numbers to vote McCain - alive or dead. It is up to the democrats in Clark and Washoe to get out everybody, and I mean every registerd democrat to overcome what I think will be at least a 40K - 50K vote plurality for McCain in the rural areas. Go, Obama, Go!! Another thought - Obama could gain with a strong Gibbon's endorsement of McCain. HA HA!!
