Lindsey Graham & Chuck Schumer Set to Introduce Amnesty Bill
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, April 10, 2010, 5:05 PM
Lindsey’s getting ready to tell the bigots to shut up.
Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are set to push their amnesty plan “any day now.”
Irish Central reported, via Free Republic:
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, are believed to be on the cusp of introducing a new bill in the Senate on Comprehensive immigration reform.
The Schumer/Graham initiative combines enforcement with earned legal status for immigrants who are out of status or came in illegally.
Washington sources say they are ready to introduce the bill “any day now.”
God knows the Irish could catch a break on this issue.
The intense lobbying efforts in 2006 and 2007 were successful in changing more than a few Senators’ minds but between the Presidential election and the economic collapse, immigration has been pushed off the front page.
However, a Senate move on this issue could see immigration reform becoming a possibility again.

Mahdi Al-Dajjal commented:
Yet another Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill (3rd in last 30 years). The thing is that if the Fed. Gov’t isn’t willing to enforce it’s own laws yet again, what’s the point?
Robert commented:
Keep in mind that this bill includes
a national ID card with
biometric information on it.
Robert commented:
Re: #2
Just as with airport “security”, American citizens
have to jump through the hoops because of the
actions of others. This permits officials to appear
“politically correct” so that they do not have to
face any controversy.
So because they don’t want to stop illegal immigrants,
we all have to provide a national ID card to get a job.
And they still won’t protect our borders and
our border citizens, one of whom was murdered
last week.
“Do you have your national ID card?”
Dipso Facto commented:
Graham exemplifies the phrase “tin eared.”
The nation rejected amnesty back when we had an economy. The response to this will be truly epic.
It’s all fodder for the the “Throw All of Them Out” movement, of which I’m a charter member.
down with dems commented:
Gotta build the wall first before even thinking of amnesty. Fly some drones over that border and light up anything that moves. Then and only then is it rational to even start thinking about amnesty.
Sickofobama commented:
Is Lynda Grahamnesty up for re-election?
If so, South Carolinians: KICK THE TRAITOR OUT!
The Republicans could take back both Houses in November unless they side with Chuck U and the Rino from S.C.
MGB commented:
I could accept legal status of some kind for those who have been here for a long time, so long as anyone who came here illegally NEVER is allowed to vote. NEVER. That’s the price they should have to pay. Otherwise, go back home and apply to come in the right way. In addition, nobody who came here illegally should EVER be allowed to bring in family members. Otherwise, same deal: Go back home and apply to come in the right way.
Jo commented:
Either they are scared of the Mexican Mafia or they get their crack and weed from the Latin Cartels. Besides racking in votes to stay in power which is nothing to do with Democracy, they are criminals. We should make laws where it is criminal to vote in legislation in which one will gain votes.

bellez commented:
I though Lindsey said if the HC bill passed without Republican support he will not work on amnesty! This was worked on before HC passed I am wondering ..I thought they were on break ..
Opaobie commented:
Why any Republican is supporting amnesty defies logic. Amnesty will guarantee Democrat dominance and change the demographic of America forever. The American culture will disappear. Why are they cooperating, no leading the movement to destroy their own party and power and this nation? The November elections may be the last free elections in America. Don’t fail.
newrouter commented:
bring it on. throw some gasoline on the fire.
Flavia commented:
This is why I vote for or support the person due to their views, instead of automatically supporting them because of the political letter following their name.
exceller commented:
why is Graham so motivated to split the Republicans in two, and deliver a huge victory to the democrats? I really cannot stand this guy. unfortunately he is not up for reelection so he’s free to assume the role of lead RINO.
Jo commented:
Obama is winning. If the entire US does not stand up to this anti-USA infiltrator, the country is over…. WE have a tea party in San Fran on the 16th.
It costs Los Angeles $260,000,000 per month to support illegal aliens for all social services. They come here and demand free everything. They use the grounds that the USA is anti-Latin. Therefore the USA white people are racists. To appease them the white people hand over tax payer monies. Now they want the USA — the whole thing.
bear commented:
I am a LEGAL immigrant, a naturalized citizen, a veteran and an avowed enemy to all rinos. Gramnesty was re-elected by the fools in SC in ’08. He is untouchable.
Even the anti-American mccain has seen the light (and the damage done) by the “gang of fourteen” during the Bush years. He knows the will of the people won’t allow him back in the Senate, and has called for the National Guard to man the borders (at last)! mccain is STILL a phony. Send your money to J.D. Hayworth to defeat the rino mccain!
Citizenship for criminals is a travesty, and a naked ploy by the libs to gather votes to counter the Tea Partiers. It is one more sickening display by the marxists in Congress to destroy our Constitution and our great country. Gramnesty must hear from all of us re his traitorous disregard for our laws and his oath of office!!

Just_Saying commented:
I entirely agree with Bear #17: “Citizenship for criminals is a travesty” — more than a travesty, it is a crime!
I am, not against immigrants, but against illegal immigrants being “favored in” after criminally entering this country!

jainphx commented:
Don’t count on McCain opposing this garbage, Lindsey is his front man. Graham does what his master tells him to do. We can stop this simply by ousting McCain in Nov. No McCain no more RINO garbage, because he’s behind it all.

jainphx commented:
I was witness to a police chase on U.S. 10 just north of Marana Az. The driver of the van tried to ram the police car following, lost control and rolled. There were 20 people in the van, and the ones that could ran into the desert. This happens very often, and the coyotes are getting more violent every day.
reliapundit commented:
the reaction to this will make the reaction to obamacare look like a…. tea party!
heh.
seriously: time to breakout the pitchforks and torches.
Robb76 commented:
Theory: Graham saw McCain get the Republican nomination for president as a compromising Rino. Thinks he can do the same with better result.
ExcuseMe? commented:
If anyone here is living on land which was illegally seized from Native Americans, they shouldn’t ever be allowed to vote.
Chippy commented:
The republican leadership said after HC was rammed through that they would not work with the socialists until after the 2010 elections. They would only work with the socialists if it required, “national security”.

Lindsey Graham is the GOP version of Bart Stupak.

He did claim he wouldn’t work with any Dem after what they did ramming HC through; supposedly it made him that mad.
I think it was Laura Ingraham’s radio show. She reminded him of making that statement and he said he would stick to it.
If you can’t get him this time around, get the next best thing: Johnny Mac. Two peas in that pod.
Write and tell ol’ Johnny that’s what you’ll be doing. Big donations to his opponent thanks to his best bud, Lyin’ Lindsey.
Finncrisp commented:
That dead rancher in AZ deserves better. Immigration reform starts with a fence and the “front door” for those who would legally apply. Lindsey is an IDIOT! The Dems are on the ropes and this mentally challenged senator would offer them a life line. Let’s start sending the message that this cannot and will not stand…
Opus #6 commented:
Amnesty is one of the few things Reagan did wrong. Reagan was elected by a conservative California. After amnesty, California was no longer conservative. The Dems hope to repeat this demographic switch in many battleground states, and it would work, too.

This is crass, but all I have to say is, “a-holes.”
Kevin commented:
#18, thank you for that eye opening you tube video. I have emailed the link to everyone I know.
If they media freaked out over the backlash on the Obamacare bill, wait and see how they freak out when we oppose the amnesty bill.
Kevin commented:
If the media** not if they media** typo.
An important point I forgot to add. When someone ask you what your position is on this issue, let them know that you’re for securing our borders to keep out the MS-13 gang members and the cocaine cartel.
When you make that case to secure the border, it will drive the open borders crowd insane.

Swifty commented:
Well, that whole health care spending bill went so smoothly, why not?
Since the president says the economy is recovering, I guess we can afford to give them even more benefits that they didn’t earn.
Who cares about the “rule of law”? That’s for suckers and is only a talking point when you’re trying to appoint a new Supreme Court justice.
DaMav commented:
How dare they bring this back up when our government can’t even build a dang fence.
This is like the contractor that couldn’t get the storage shed up asking you to hire him to build your house.

Obama needs a new voting bloc. He’s alienated all the Republicans & Conservatives, most Independents, many liberals and some Democrats. The only way he’ll get re-elected is to have a new voting bloc…presto chango…newly minted citizens, formerly illegal aliens.

Opus #6,
California belongs now to Mexico. The libs just try to hang on to power by appeasing them. The radical Mexican racist mafia knows this and will get rid of them once they grab all power.
HENHOUSEFOX58 commented:
We need to hire 15,000 border patrol, not 15,000 IRS agents. We need that fence now. We need to protect our Americans who have property on the border. Repeal the laws that make it illegal to protect your land and house from illegal trespass. AZ makes it illegal for illegals to trespass so they can be sent back across the border. The coyotes should get 20 years to life for trafficking in human beings.
firewifem commented:
Excellent point on the human trafficking #54 Henhousefox58! The lefties of say, Amnesty International, are always crying about “human rights abuses” when it suits them. What about in these cases? These people are so hypocritical it’s almost funny (I must laugh about it or implosion could occur).
Valerie commented:
How about a guest worker program, and cards for the guest workers?
Opus #6 commented:
My former housekeeper’s sister would be alive now if we had a decent border.
As it was, she died of dehydration in June a few years ago crossing the border. Many of these youngsters don’t know how difficult it is and if the weather turns hot, they die.
Rock commented:
They just keep shoveling the crap, while ignoring the majority for no other reason than create a new majority beholding to them. And of course at some point they will be added to the welfare and health care rolls.These Rino Graham is no more concerned about America than Hugo.
Radegunda commented:
Opus #6, do those youngsters not know that it is AGAINST OUR LAWS to sneak across our border?
Was your housekeeper an illegal?
What do you mean by “a decent border”? One with thousands of free refreshment stands and no restrictions on who comes in?
Or how about we do as the Mexicans do on their southern border instead.
Opaobie commented:
ExcuseMe? #26, so who do we give it back to since the Indians our ancestors took it from took it from other Indians who took it from other Indians who took it from other Primitives who took it from…..??? By the way, I was born here, so that makes me a “Native Born Native American”. What about you? If you feel guilty, give everything you have to the nearest tribe and leave the country.
Valerie #56, we had a guest worker program. Thank Ted Kennedy for destroying it along with our entire immigration policy. There is no way it would have a chance today with all the Amnesty forces at work….what a pity.
gus commented:
So let me get this straight.
Our OBAMA CARE will pay for ILLEGAL ALIENS to have ABORTIONS???
Indoctrinate U commented:
Amnesty now or or they get sponsorship later. Either way, we are done because the LEFTISTS will eventually have the votes.
About 4 million “ANCHOR BABIES” are in the U.S. and when they turn 21, they will sponsor their family members, who will then become citizens via chain immigration. Do the math.
Even Katie at CBS knows it – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_ZnX9JRo5M
tdpwells commented:
What a slap in the face to every immigrant who came here legally, including members of my extended family.
He was censured twice already by the state GOP – can we just kick him out of the party now?
sherlock commented:
There is nothing so foul in the US Senate as the odious Schumer, and any Republican who would co-sponsor anything with him should be ejected from the party as co-scum.
jainphx commented:
If I didn’t care so much about this country, I would give up. We fight and come so close to winning, and then politicians stab us in the back.
Viet Nam, Korea, Obama care, illegal immigration and so much more.
We really need to remove ALL Demoncraps and half the Republicans as fast as possible.
Opaobie commented:
I would even favor taking campaign contributions from the “war chests” of all the pro-amnesty politicians to pay to ship every illegal alien back to their country of origin as long as they had a pro-amnesty politician or activist under each arm…and Grahamnesty and Schumer and McLame could go along as their nannies.
SirKnob commented:
Just what we need. 10% unemployment, illegals taking jobs, stealing identies, breaking our laws. The Dems wants the votes, business want the cheap labor, unions wants the head counts. The only good news is our Youth may be waking up http://wp.me/pLGBN-gt . America Rising, I sure hope so.

Barbarian commented:
Graham is an attention whore just like McCain. The RNC should make it publicly clear that NO funds will be directed toward Graham. None.
Tom63010 commented:
I’m not sure if this has been said is that this will be a huge victory for SEIU. The private sector cannot afford to absorb these individuals into our economy. The Federal Government will be glad to pay union wages since running a fiscally conservative business is not remotely what they are about.
They will gladly add the ones who will or cannot work to the welfare roles for a large voting block and SEIU will be glad to give huge donations to the DNC.
There is a large room in hell for these kinds of politicians it is located next to the media room!
Andreas K. commented:
Stop it. Stop this reform. I’m warning you. You will end like Europe. Obamacare is bad enough, but this will turn things even worse. A lot worse.
It will be like here. You don’t want that to happen. You don’t want to copy our parallel societies and soaring crime rates.
Stop this, please stop this.
Liz commented:
Send everyone that came here illegally back to their home country. They need to get to the back of the line. And they can take their American born children with them.
Iconoclast commented:
Ah, jainphx, you are SO on my wave length. They are short-sighted, power-hungry whores who would sell their own family into slavery to acquire yet more power & wealth.
Greg commented:
Many countries in the world have effective immigration controls called work visas. They all hinge of the employers responsibility for the alien. Screw up and the employer and the alien go to jail. Obama took a step back from this when he asked his Attourney General to discontinue raiding the workplace
Veryconcerned commented:
Lindsey Graham = RINO
Republican In Name Only.
Go ahead and switch like your buddy Arlen did and lets make sure you and Arlen, Harry, Barbara, Bart, and Charlie all can retire together and have plenty of time to reminisce about the good times and destruction done to this country by YOU PEOPLE!
greenfairie commented:
Someone needs to announce s/he will run against Graham in the ’14 primary. We also need to pressure the RNC that it won’t get a single cent from us so long as it gives any kind of funds to Graham. We need to isolate this guy and hammer him.
Rosey commented:
Why doesn’t Lindsy (fitting name for a pansy) just admit it already. His hero is Arlen Spector and he’s going to soon come out w/a statement saying “…I didn’t leave the republican party, the republican party left me.” Idiot! I look forward to this guy going in the next election…
