immigration bill goes down in flames

A massive defeat to the Immigration bill today. This is the second time that the bill has been defeated and as a spectator I was stunned how there was such a forceful attempt to jam the bill down the throats of the American people. Now if anyone in the government is listening the message is clear. Stop the insanity. This is not about immigration, it is about illegal aliens. Our educational system, our health care system, our legal system are all drowning in our schizophrenic society where we can't bring ourselves to make the decisions that ultimately we must make.

And those are:

1. Secure the borders.
2. Allow work visa's to fill documented need for workers.
3. Deport illegals, their families and their little dog Toto.
4. Do not provide non-emergent health care or education to illegals or children of illegals.
5. Enforce penalties against companies that hire illegals.
6. Make sure that all those granted immigration status are healthy and educated in fields that the United States needs.
7. Speak English.

Try it for 10 years and let's see if things are better.
