GOP raises White Flag on Immigration, RIP America?

Reports are flying that the an agreement has been reached between the Bush Administration and Senate leaders. As usual, Hot Air has good coverage: Breaking: Bush, Senate leaders reach immigration agreement.

After first hearing about this pending disaster on Hugh Hewitt’s show last night. I let the GOP leadership (McConnell, Lott, Kyl) hear from me that I was not on board with any plan that did not give us Fortress America with a very secure border that would keep terrorists and illegals out BEFORE we have any discussion about immigration reform.

This is what the majority of Americans want. We want to be secure and have out country defended. What sense does it make that we send our best off to fight overseas and the leave the doors wide open at home for anyone and everyone to come in?

Allahpundit said it best at Hot Air:

We had a Republican Congress and a Republican White House for six years. Six years, and it’s come to this.

The GOP better start praying that they still exist in 6 years. This issue is that big.

Update: Michelle Malkin It’s here: The Bush-Kennedy amnesty Report: Potential cost = $2.5 trillion. Also, vote Hell No! in her poll.

    So I'm inconvenienced by a "no left turn" sign every night when I drive home from work. It would be so much easier to not go a block out of my way if only I could make the left turn. But I don't because the sign was placed there for a reason. However, tonight, I think I'm going to make that left turn. And hopefully others will, too, and maybe if enough people start making the illegal left turn, the city will take down the sign, regardless of how dangerous the intersection may be or the reasons as to why the sign was placed there to begin with.

    Yeah. I mean, if illegals have no regard for the laws of this country, why should I? I think I'm also going to stop paying my taxes, too.
