End of the line?

I have to tell you. I’m getting really concerned with this year’s coming elections. In my opinion it’s looking more and more like we’re going to shrink the margin the Republicans have in the House, and potentially lose the majority in the Senate.

And it’s not because of anything the Democrats are doing.

No, it’s because the Republicans that I sent to Washington D.C. are no more Republicans than Hillary Clinton is.

For example:
- Immigration reform. What a joke. From all appearances, the House and Senate are going to pass a bill soon that rewards illegal activity, creates a border as porous as a piece of Swiss cheese, and does nothing to protect our culture from a rapidly rising tide of non-assimilating immigrants. One of Texas’ ‘Honorable’ Senators, Kay Bailey Hutchinson is a perfect example of the spineless Washington elite. Up for re-election this year, would you like to take a guess at what her stance is on illegal immigration? If you go to her
web page and check out “SENATOR HUTCHISONON THE ISSUES”, you’ll see that she cares strongly enough about immigration reform to have it listed 12th of 18 issues being debated. 1st and 2nd issues are Hurricane Relief! And her thoughts? Can you spell amnesty? In her words:

“…that we need a guest worker permit program that would allow people to come into our country legally to work and earn a living for their families, contribute to the economy of the United States, and perhaps become citizens, if they decide to, or not become citizens if they wish to remain citizens of their home country.”

Yes, you read right. Perhaps become citizens. So, you want to come to the United States and work and send everything you make back to whoever you want wherever you came from? Come on in. And don’t worry about us teaching you English or learning what it means to be an American. We wouldn’t want to offend you, after all.

Texas’ other Senator, John Cornyn is only marginally better - but then hey - he’s not up for re-election this year. Both Senators spend an inordinate amount of time complaining that they, the MAJORITY, cannot get anything done in the Senate. To me, that is a serious knock on the Senate leadership in Bill Frist; that he cannot get the Republicans in the Senate to toe the line and do the right thing. It’s disgusting to have to listen to the pandering of Chucky Schmucky Schumer and Hillary Clinton and Harry Reid and the rest of the socialists in the Senate when all we should be hearing from them is that they’re upset because the Republicans in the Senate rammed a bill down their throats with their majority.

My solution is easy:
1. Build a wall at the most used border crossing points.
2. Utilize the same unmanned aerial reconnaissance aircraft that we are using with great success in Iraq to patrol the rest of the border.
3. Punish those who come across the border illegally.
4. Punish severely those companies or individuals who knowingly hire illegals - not only are they essentially creating an entrapped class of workers, but they are deflating the monetary value of the American workers who would otherwise be doing the jobs. If caught, there should be severe fines and jail time involved. Make the working environment disappear for the illegals and take their motivation away.

Yeah, I’ll go to the polls in November. But it looks like I’ll be holding my nose while I do it because frankly, the Republicans we have in office now are disgusting me with their worthlessness.
