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.

On my way to work today, I stopped in to see Mike Gallagher and support his efforts to raise money for the city of Farmers Branch’s defense fund. I caught just the tail end of the show from Blue Star Deli, but I did get a t-shirt and a chance to meet Mike. Gallagher told me they had raised over $5,000 in 2 and a half hours. Great work Mike. Get your own “Speak English” t-shirt and support the legal defense fund for Farmers Branch, TX!
I wonder if the Morning News will write a story about this? They posted Illegal immigrant fight costs more than $50,000, but donations just $122 last night. Better up that tote board there to at least $5,122.
[Update: 12/22 MikeOnline.com has a note saying over $7,000 has been raised so far!]
Via email today:
In less than 24 hours, U.S. Border Agents Ignacio Ramos
and Jose Compean, could be sentenced to 20 years in prison for attempting to apprehend an illegal alien at our border — an illegal drug-runner who is now suing our government for 5 million dollars because he claims his civil rights were violated!
Grassfire is less than 5,000 petitions shy of reaching our goal of 100,000 petitions demanding these two agents receive a full pardon, and we are urging you to take action now to help us reach our goal:
Take a moment right now to add your name to this petition.
WorldNetDaily has the story “2 Border Patrol agents face 20 years in prison“.
From DallasNews.com:
In a blitz that began May 26, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested illegal immigrant gang members, pedophiles, violent felons and others who have sneaked back in the country after being deported.
Just remember, they are only here to be hard workers. Yeah, right.
