Well, in spite of the socialist agendas of higher education, one perk from more people being able to get a college education is that some small group of us do learn to think critically in spite of all the professors do to “beat” it out of our heads.

Actually, I was fortunate in that regard. I was more inclined toward the sciences, research, and statistics. I also loved history and psychology (even though there were a lot of theories I didn’t agree with, deviant behavior was the bomb). You really have to be able to think critically in those curriculums or you’ll never survive with decent grades. I managed to scrape through with honors, barely. I shudder to think what those in the arts majors were put through.

You are correct and the fact that we are debating the biil with this much scrutiny at our level of the blogospere shows the people aren’t stupid and we do pay attention. I agree securing the border and enforcing existing laws would go a long way, many would just go home if there is no economic incentive to stay. With folks like AQ and MS13 coming across border security is first!

I looked at this bill, what it says, what it doesn’t say, and thought about all the bills that came before it promising the same things… it’s just another stack of paper full of broken promises… before it even becomes law.

Rush Limbaugh says it right: http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_052207/content/01125106.guest.html

Or rather one of his callers did. The people in D.C. aren’t about the people in the country. They are about keeping their elite status and they see this bill as a way to do that.

We need whole new leadership ,or no federal government at all, and let the states deal with it as individual states. If they’d enforce the laws already on the books, this stupid bill wouldn’t even be a debate, it would be nonexistent. That tells you right there what their real intentions are: they plan to do absolutely nothing except broaden their voter base.

It was cloture to begin debate is all, nothing to be worried about, they will get an earfull from constituents over the break. There are some good things and very bad things in the draft to be debated. It was not a vote for cloture on the bill itself just to open depate on it, there are still a couple hurdles including the House. Once the border is secure we can begin a regularization program for the productive illegals here already and clamp down on their reason for coming, employment. At least Sen.(R. Al.) Sessions from my home state and my congressman in my adopted state are on the right side, security first, then some form of regularization for the decent and productive. I am not a deport all of them now advocate though I have always been a huge advocate for proper border security especially for as an open a society as ours. IMO, Tom Tancredo should run BICE, The Bureau of Immiigration and Customs Enforcement and whatever program is enacted.

I’ve left a call into Senator Burr’s office, but I’ll try calling him again.

He won’t get my support – and this state is really not a republican sure thing. Burr replaced Edwards. His seat can go back to a democrat if he loses much support.

Thanks for the information.

Great job.
