With all the controversy in Congress...?

...if anything, it will be a wake up call to those who didn't think this issue effected them.  All it will take is a ton of illegals and their apologists ranting and raving about "their land" and "their rights" to show average Americans that their nation is under assault.  The thing is, this whole deal was unnecessary...but the politicans wanted their neat little minority voting bloc all tied up in a pretty bow, so here we are, tip-toeing around the issue and discussing how to make 12 million LAWBREAKERS legal, knowing all the while we'll be right back where we are in less than 10 years.  All I know is that I'm stocking up on ammo.

It is almost impossible to find real questions in this category, because they are crowded out by the 9-11 conspiracy questions (at least 10 per day), questions from kids trying to get people to do their homework for them, and questions from trolls trying to elicit a reaction.\nVery frustrating.\n\nI will probably have some questions for you around March or possibly in June. I am conservative, and I want to see how the new senate and house members conduct themselves for awhile so that I will have something to ask about and discuss. \nMany of them are new, and they may have some good ideas. I am hoping that they are not all going to toe some specific party line, and are capable of independent thought/voting.

It's all rederick and useful propoganda to use against one another during election time (especially) but it's all screwed up right now because the Republicans are getting most of the heat because of the War, and all the problems that have arisen from that alone are huge, and a big deal to the overall majority of Americans so it's great ammo to use if your a democrat and a politician trying to run a successful campaign to Win a seat in office....dont you think? (even though we know it's all the same BS from both sides ) If your a Republican your going to use the fact that Liberals support immigration and some sort of work program as a sign of being whimpy and not protecting our borders ....its all BS. What have the Republicans done to protect our border? what have either party done thus far?? Nothing in my mind. I think it is up to the American people to stand up and say " Enough Already!" Demand real answers, a real plan, real priorities they have set aside, when it becomes a blame glame match it is up to us to be the mediator and to stop it. We really need to overall demand more from the people we elect in office so these kinds of blame games dont happen as much or as often, and they stick to the issue or topic at hand! Period!

Nothing, the Republicans can't get together on this issue. They are the majority in both sides of Congress, and I say they are stalling because of the election in November.

If citizens voted on all of the issues, what would Congress do?  They're put in office to represent their district's votes.  If people voted on every issue (good luck with that), then it makes Congress useless.

It is indeed a sad commentary on the 'average' US citizen .. and the Congress ... that no one is raising red flags!!! ... The citizenry is more interested in who is winning on some idiotic reality tv show. and the Congress is more worried about getting re-elected and keeping their cush-jobs than they are in preserving the standards of freedom that this country was built on and that, supposedly, our military men and women have fought for and are fighting and dying for.  But it seems all we get is rhetoric and no action.

When the Senate figures out how to get around the Constitutionality problem their bill has right now, or when one of the alternatives being introduced come up for a vote.\n\nYou could write or email your Congressmen to find out, and let them know of your interest.

The president is always in the "lime-light." Therefore, he is the one to get blamed. Whereas congress is two seperate bodies of many people.  Plus people like a fall-guy.

I'm with you there!!! Some people get a charge out of controversy I suppose. Others need the attention. There are those few, and I do say FEW who truly don't know any better. Have mercy.

The Dems are in a tight spot alright.  They can't be seen as bullies or cowards.  Now that they have control of both Houses (barely in the Senate) they have allot more responsibility for Iraq, the economy, the environment...etc.  I'm hoping for a more bipartisan atmosphere in all branches of the federal government, but not really expecting it.  Even if everyone in D.C. cooperated (which they almost certainly won't) two years isn't enough time to fix everything.  Personally I think making reparations to the people of Iraq for the s**t storm we stirred up could and should take generations.  The most the Dems can hope for under Bush is to make things better enough for enough people to not get blamed for making things worse.

Its always important to have balanced info.  I think both sides could use a little balancing act before the election.  Will it happen?  NO.  The repukes are dead-set against being honest.

The problem is we elect these poeple and we need to all pull together and do something about it. All of this has gone to far and it is time to do something about it. VOICE what you have to say to congress!! you can write these people, and everyone needs to start!! It is time for America to come together and get these people to work for us not for what they want!!

please it is president Clinton, and though people are going to say it is just politics it is the same issue. if it is wrong now it was wrong then.  if anything there has always been a double standard between Democrats and Republicans.  people are screaming about an illegal war can not remember president Clinton asking congress for any wars he got us in. but you have president Bush who did go to congress.

Good question.  Keep the pressure on the politicians.  There are millions that feel as you do, you are not alone. In fact this may be the one issue that brings US citizens together.  This issue crosses all parties and most are mad as hell.

Who cares......should we be squabling about such stupid issues when our country is turning to crap right before our eyes and its less than a week from the mid terms?\n\nWhat about the real issues, doesnt anyone care about those anymore? I guess not...so keep talking about the has-been massachusetts senator.\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aq0C.67XVjo.7b1As2KgAmbsy6IX?qid=20061101082507AAR5uWz
