Left-wingers Turning on Amnesty Bill

Via the Washington Times:

Labor and Hispanic groups yesterday told senators to scrap their immigration bill and go back to the drawing board, saying that the proposal now before the Senate has become too harsh on illegal aliens and a poor deal for U.S. workers.

In separate press conferences, the Hispanic rights groups and labor leaders, including the AFL-CIO, joined a growing group of critics from both the left and the right who say current law is better than the immigration bill that President Bush and a small bipartisan group of senators are pushing.

"This takes a problem we have and, instead of solving it, makes it worse," said Richard L. Trumka, secretary-treasurer of the AFL-CIO. He said the temporary-worker program that the bill sets up would hurt U.S. workers by providing a source of cheap labor that would depress Americans' wages.

Meanwhile from the immigrant-advocacy side, a handful of Hispanic groups yesterday said the Senate bill started off poorly, became worse after the first two weeks of amendments and is now unfixable.

1 HEH..this is great.   For once the ends of Cons meets the means of Libs...  Their methodology is a bit funny though: "saying that the proposal now before the Senate has become too harsh on illegal aliens and a poor deal for U.S. workers.

heh...like saying: "I want to eat my fucking DEVILS FOOD CAKE WITH DOUBLE CHOCOLATE FUDGE ICING SMOTHERED IN CARAMEL AND TRIPLE WHIPPED WHIP CREAM...but I DON'T want it to have any calories....DAMNIT!~!~"

libs are bunch of  backward ****s aren't they..

2 I'm an eye surgeon on a far-away Pacific protectorate of the US, the island of Saipan.  The possibility of implementation of a federal immigration laws is rocking this island to its core.  One sane opinion is posted at Marianas Eye.

3 David, you are obviously a bit of a narcissist. Also, your blog is a snoozer and please stop using the Jawa Comments to promote it.

5 Well take it from a good ole boy from Washington DC Mississippi! Why give me a good ole electricified goat fence any ole time! When any  unruly talk-radio-listening members of the RNC try to give me any grief over immigration, I say just pop 'em in the balls with that li'l live wire!

Sincerely,
Trent Sux a LOTT

8 David: A funny one. I fell into the bar pool at the Hyatt Regency, Saipan fully clothed. Had a friend. The one that pushed me, go upstairs, get me my swimsuit, changed in the pool and no one noticed. Now thats class. Love bird island. Nice casino on Tinian and the islands favorite sport. Just don't tell anyone. I will announce my next trip there. Perhaps, I can buy you a drink.
