In Your Face, Mr. President

From the LA Times comes word of what House Republicans are doing to show their contempt for the president and his shamnesty.They have are introducing legislation that would bar illegal immigrants from gaining legal status in the U.S., require tamper-proof birth certificates for Americans and make English the nation's official language.

That's the kind of bill we need, not the vehicle driven by Kennedy that will take the whole country off the bridge this time.

However, this bill will never see the light of day. The liberals long skilled at killing promise before it can be birthed will never let this legislation advance.

The bill's authors, Reps. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) and Peter T. King (R-N.Y.), said it was meant to challenge the immigration bill the Senate planned to return to this week.

That measure, King said, goes "against the wishes of the American people."

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) has also introduced a resolution calling on Bush to enforce existing immigration laws in order to halt "the lawlessness at our borders." That too will be allowed to die, but at least it highlights the fact that our president is failing to protect us.
