News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in.

Amnesty update: Feinstein/Craig illegal alien farmworker measure “jettisoned”…for now

By Michelle Malkin • May 21, 2008 10:33 AM

Sometime in the wee hours of the morning, it happened:

President George W. Bush’s request to fund U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan until his successor can take office hit a rocky patch in the Senate.

Democratic leaders were forced to jettison provisions to award work permits for immigrant farm labor and seasonal workers just hours after beginning debate Tuesday on legislation to add domestic programs to President Bush’s war request.
