According to our friends at The Hotline On Call, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH), speaking to a private gathering of the Republican Rapid Responders last night on Capitol Hill called the Senate's immigration compromise bill a "piece of shit" even though he promised President Bush he would not publicly oppose the bill.
"I promised the President today that I wouldn't say anything bad about ... this piece of shit bill," said Boehner.
On the same day as the small outburst Boehner released a statement with no foul language saying:
"The Senate agreement appears to recognize that additional border security measures and more effective immigration law enforcement must come before any other issues are addressed, but I have significant concerns about parts of the Senate proposal -- particularly provisions that would reward illegal immigrants who have consistently broken our laws."
According to Hotline: A senior Republican official said yesterday that while the chances of the bill are "50/50" in the House. The White House will probably spend its resources lobbying Democrats to achieve a majority of votes needed to pass the bill.

I do Agree, this compromise immigration Bill S-1348 is a piece of shit, the SOB's that made the Bill, Betray the American people. I like my Senators so I will give them another chance to change their vote.
Please read.
Dear Senator Hutchison:
Your vote against Sen. Vitter's amendment to strip amnesty out of S. 1348 is perplexing to me, particularly since you voted the opposite way just last year.
Senator you are a traitor, I'am sending this letter to my contacts to give you a chance to defeat this Bill.
Friends, if you are an American and love our country as I do, you must be so mad that you want to defend our country yourselves from the invasion of illegal aliens. We must give the politicians in Washington an opportunity to do their job, if they fail to defeat this ridiculous immigration compromise Bill S1348 we will punish all the traitors that voted in support of this betrayal of the American citizens.
Your job is to send them a warning and remind them who they suppose to represent and who send them to Washington.
He is the list of the traitors.
THESE SENATORS ARE NOW ON RECORD AS FAVORING AMNESTY AND REWARDS FOR 12-20 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS
If your state is on this list, you have your work cut out for you. Please do not let any of the Senators off the hook. They voted NO on the Vitter amendment.

A long-time supporter,
Mr. Juan Reynoso
P.S. Senator, the compromise immigration Bill 1348 must be defeat it.
The will of the texas voters is not amnesty or any immigration reform. We want to see that Homeland Security enforce the law.

I strongly support immigration reform, and better sooner than later, while we have some control. The numbers are only going to increase.The borders must be secure, but also we must track all the illegal immigrants who are already within our borders.I believe we can work on both areas at the same time, but both political parties must come together soon and stop playing games, this is a serious issue.My parents came here from Mexico to work over 40 years ago, became legal residents, then citizens.I was born here and became a voter, and local politician. I was blessed to have been born into this great country.My in-laws are from Texas, still Mexican, but were always citizens, due to the country's border being drawn/set a few hours north of where my parents came from.Let's make decisions based on facts and reality, not emotions or fear. We need order, safety, and a plan.We need a strong leader to take the lead.This is a huge responsibility.
