The Kennedy-McCain immigration bill: that is the subject of this evening's "Talking Points Memo."
It is called the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act (search ) of 2005. And here are the highlights:
? The USA would accept at least 400,000 foreign workers each year. Their visas would last three years.
? Illegal aliens already in the U.S.A., and they number more than 10 million, would have to register, pay a $2,000 fine, clear a criminal background check, and pass an English language exam. If they did that and had a job, they could stay in this country and apply for citizenship in six years.
? The act would also increase fines for employers who hire illegals and strengthen border security.
some of the problems that i have with this proposed bill is:
rewarding illegals for breaking the law.....that's a bad precedent.
what happens if the illegals can't pass an english language test...will they then be deported, as they should be ?
the last part is the only part that i agree with..... fines (don't know if there is any fine for hiring an illegal) should be increased for hiring illegals & boarder security strenghtened even without this bill.
our representatives in washington should hold the mexican gov't responsible fo taking care of their people....it seems to me that fox & his cronies are getting away with not taking the responsibility of providing a better way for it's people.

How is any of this any different than what Bush is talking about? Why does Bush get a free pass from conservatives on his immigration ideas? He calls the Minutemen "Vigilantes" and it angers none of his supposedly conservative followers? I don't get it. If Hillary Clinton or Teddy called them that, it would be replayed endlessly on FOX and talked about to no end from Conservatives on here. Someone help me out here, what am I missing?
and this scenario is repeating itself in iran....

Diplomats: U.N. Lacks Right to Inspect Sites in Iran......
here’s a reassuring little tidbit of information; united nations nuclear inspectors are only allowed to visit iranian facilities that have been declared by iran as nuclear sites: ...lol
U.N. Lacks Right to Inspect Sites in Iran.
VIENNA (Reuters) - Inspectors from the U.N. nuclear watchdog would like to visit a military complex in Iran that an exile group said housed a nuclear weapons site, but they lack the legal authority to go there, U.N. diplomats said.
Iran, which insists its nuclear program is solely for electricity generation, earlier this week escaped possible U.N. Security Council economic sanctions after agreeing to freeze all activities which could be used to make bomb-grade material.
But several military sites inspectors would like to inspect are legally off-limits to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which only has clear rights to visit facilities declared to it as nuclear sites. Access to other facilities must be negotiated and can be highly problematic....

come clean...if you ARE clean...
sounds stunningly familiar....
