Why is the IMMIGRATION bill being rushed through the Senate this week?  I'm watching C-SPAN2 right now and something is WRONG.  Call it intuition or 'phenomenon' but what is happening right now seems to be the result of coersion or some real, strong (lethal?) arm twisting. Could it possibly be through the info gleaned from the illegal wiretapping over the last years that have put senators in the hot seat by their conduct susceptible to blackmail and bribery.*  [One of the reasons illegal wiretapping has to go through legal channels is because anyone, including Congress, can be bribed or blackmailed from on high through information obtained by unlawful wiretapping.  It's too bad this isn't covered by our media.  I hope some of you will call your representatives about this.] What do certain VIPs have over the Senate as far as "dirt" on certain senators that may have been brought into play in order to push through any legislation that the American people have strongly opposed?  AMNESTY is NOT an accepted option for Americans.  Now the majority leader, Sen. Harry Reid, D-NV, is only allowing certain amendments to come to the floor that were put together last night.  Senators are complaining about not having the opportunity to read these amendments. 

With all the unsettling issues going on in the country at this time, why did they even decide to pick up this issue THIS WEEK?

Is it because the body politick knows Americans have a so-called 15-minute attention span and think the matter has already been settled and put to rest?  And won't be re-visited until next year - as it had been announced through the media?  

What makes our administration believe that this amnesty deal will succeed when the last one was totally ignored?   

Who benefits, and for what reason, from this bill being pushed through this week?  Does it have something to do with the upcoming '08 presidential election?  It was revealed last year that the number of people in a state determines how many representatives a state has, and who knows whether the illegal immigrants are actually voting in our elections? 

We have just learned about Californian Zoila Meyer who won election to the City Council of Adelanto who may be deported for illegally voting.  Why?! Because she's not an American citizen!! She never became a citizen after being brought to this country from Cuba when she was a year old. 

How many other illegal immigrants have been voting in our national elections?

What political party benefits by these possible illegal votes?  

The Party that takes up their cause!!  That's who!
