You may remember my outrage on the insertion of an amnesty for illegals plan into the Emergency Funding Bill for US Troops.


Well the conservatives won! The language is no longer in the bill!

Now we just have to make sure any amnesty legislation gets defeated on its own merits. Illegal penetration of our borders is one if the biggest dangers facing America today. It needs to be stopped.

Thanks to UMSC_Vet over at Blue State Conservatives for raising the issue to me, and for the kind follow-up e-mail. Much obliged!

The e-mail:

You all surely remember my angry rant over Congress slipping amnesty into the Emergency Funding Bill,
Well…according to Roll Call, the Senate is stripping all immigration language from the Emergency Funding Bill!
Can The Blue State Conservatives share in a victory dance today? Who knows and who cares?!?!
Do you think they felt the pressure? Again, who knows at this point. Let’s just take this as a Victory and let the bills stand or fall on their own merit, not on the backs of supporting the troops.
Three cheers for the US Senate, no matter how they came to such a decision!
Cheers!
