Here’s a video of Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) speaking on the Senate floor minutes before the cloture vote on Thursday: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Pjt2-WdqMg4 Also, “What part of No don’t you understand?” http://youtube.com/watch?v=waoQekLKSGE

Says Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC): “This idea of ‘Just do the enforcement,’ there are no votes for that.” Last year, the Secure Fence Act, which mandated 854 miles of border fencing, passed the US Senate 80-19, passed the US House 283-138, and was signed into law by the president. There did seem to be some [...]

Another apparent failed car bomb attack at Glasgow airport. These guys are so incompetent Bush will probably hire them to run TSA, ICE, or DHS.

No organization was as instrumental in killing the Bush-Kennedy amnesty as NumbersUSA. Its over-400,000 members are now a lasting force on the political landscape. Why not join NumbersUSA this weekend? We’re going to need all the help we can get to make Presidente Jorge Arbusto’s gang build the border fence that’s already mandated by law…

The Ross Report by Richard Ross of Conservatives with Attitude! From a senior Metropolitan London police official: The impression we’re getting is that it was probably a ‘left-field job’ involving people who don’t tie in directly to prior intelligence. In other words, so far, there is no indication of involvement of people previously identified in [...]

Good analysis here on how the younger, more in-tune with America GOP Senators defeated the Old Guard – the older, crusty, been in Washington to long elitists from both parties: Sen. Edward M. Kennedy could establish a new civil rights legacy to rival his brothers’; Sen. John McCain could show leadership and accomplishment by standing [...]

Right near the Senate floor! Day laborers from the Washington area gathered in the Senate to wait for the results of the immigration cloture vote. The shameless dishonesty of the open borders fanatics is appalling. By the way, note the visitor passes these illegals are wearing. Those were given out by some Senator’s office. Article [...]

Byron York, on how a victory turned into a rout: It seemed clear that a few senators were going to switch to “no.” But there was no guarantee there would be five. And no expectation of more than five. And even if there were five, there were worries that Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) had [...]

Yesterday, I noted DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff’s griping, and said that he should just enforce the law. Today an NRO Editorial lays out specifics of what he could do: As divisive as this debate has been, it did reveal a consensus on the need to enforce current laws. The president should accept that consensus and [...]

Mickey Kaus: Bipartisanship! Indeed, the coalition opposing the bill was slightly more bipartisan than the coalition favoring the bill. In the crucial cloture vote, only 26% of the 46 Senators in the minority voting for the bill were Republicans, while fully 30% of the Senators in the majority voting against the bill were Democrats (or [...]

Given that the amnesty bill is now dead, probably until at least 2009, where does that leave us conservatives? A few observations: Sam Brownback is a big time political coward. Red State’s Leon Wolf would defend just about any elected Republican for just about anything. John McCain has slipped into political irrelevancy for a cause [...]

Reader Dan: If George Bush had half a brain, tomorrow he would fly to the border, fly to where the border fence is being constructed, pick up a shovel, and start digging a hole for the pilings needed for the fence. Let the image of him digging a hole for the fence be broadcast. Let [...]

Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) has been the best champion we could have hoped for against the Bush-Kennedy amnesty. When his fundraising totals for this quarter come out, we need to be sure that the numbers demonstrate that opposing amnesty does not mean forgoing campaign funds. So please make a donation to Senator DeMint’s re-election campaign [...]

Illegal Immigrants flooded the phones of Pro-Amnesty groups with calls of concern, disappointment and fear: Phone calls flooded advocacy groups across the state yesterday as distraught illegal immigrants tried to come to terms with the implications of yesterday’s failure in the Senate of a bill that would have legalized some 12 million unlawful immigrants. Some [...]
