Republican Yays
Chafee (R-RI) Colemans (R-MN) Collins (R-ME) Craig (R-ID) Dewine (R-OH) Domenici (R-NM) Frist (R-TN) Graham (R-SC) Gregg (R-NH) Hagel (R-NE) Lugar (R-IN) Martinez (R-FL) McCain (R-AZ) McConnell (R-KY) Murkowski (R-AK) Smith (R-OR) Snowe (R-ME) Specter (R-PA) Stevens (R-AK) Voinovich (R-OH) Warner (R-VA)The provisions of this bill give illegal aliens benefits which Americans don't have. To start with they get to decide which 3 of the 5 years to pay taxes, they get instate tuition, get a guaranteed wage to be in sync with union wages, the employer can't fire the illegal, the employer can't inquire if a worker is illegal. Those are just a few of the gotchas in this bill.
Oh and where ever the fence is to be built, the Senate decided that Mexico needs to agree to the fence! No wonder Mexico's Fox thinks this is a great bill.
All in all, I see these Senators as traitors. They have betrayed the American citizens.
Dammit … Specter … AGAIN!

Both of my lefty moonbat Senators voted for it as well. Not that it makes me think any less of them. I’m not sure that anything can.

Warner of VA is a Republican, but not much of one, IMO. He gets elected because his opponent is always much more liberal.
Also, Senator Warner is buddy-buddy with CAIR. That friendship lowers him in my eyes.

Yup! Good ol’ CA voted for it, of course. So wrong, wrong, wrong!!

I am a former 20-year resident of South Carolina. I still have many friends in that state who voted for Lindsey Graham. I have watched him as he has gradually moved to the left on issues critical to the stability and freedom of the Republic, such as this treasonous “comprehensive” bill. I am resolved to make every effort to convince my friends to “make another selection” when his name next appears on the Republican primary ballot. Fact is, they are intelligent and politically savvy enough so that it is not going to take a gigantic effort to convince them that Senator Graham is not the “man of the hour” he seems to think he is.
I held him in high esteem when he was elected to the Senate. The high esteem has been replaced by disgust.
That goes for the rest of these “gutless wonders” of the Republican majority whose “cave-in” is nothing less than spectacular. If this bill is allowed to become law, our neighbors south of the Rio Grande are the conquistadors of the 21st century.
Thank God for the two senators from North Carolina who stand tall on this issue. Would to God that we had more like them.
