Thankfully, conservatives have been given a reprieve on immigration as Harry Reid postponed a procedural vote on an immigration bill that could lead to amnesty for illegals and citizenship for their families. (click here to read about this) The reprieve may be brief so people anti illegal aliens should call their Senators now.

Republicans who support amnesty are in bed with the wrong people.

The amnesty bill Reid backs is a disaster for our country. (see Redstate post) If we think there is an issue with illegals now, wait until we give amnesty another try. There may be some nice illegals but there are plenty of not-so-nice illegals here, as well.

The Z visa plan will open the door to millions more people, many of whom will burden our social service, healthcare and educational systems.

Republicans need to stand up on this issue and link arms. There can be no giving on this issue. We are in serious trouble if Kennedy's bill passes.

Over the last several centuries, immigrants helped to populate the U.S. We no longer need millions of aliens entering the country. Illegal aliens should be encouraged to leave the U.S. through reduction in access to services. If they refuse to leave and are picked up by any government entity they should be deported and given a lifetime ban on reentry. If employers need workers, our government can open the spigots to people waiting, legally, in line.

Bush has got to wake up on this issue or his legacy will be that he assisted in the exponential expansion of immigration to the detriment of Americans today and in the future.
