WATCH "The Cafferty File":
Dems drop the ball?If you had the Senate floor, what amendment would you make to the immigration bill?
All immigrants must be able to communicate (speak, read, write) in English.
--Brenda, Springfield, Virginia
The first thing would be to immediately cut all federal assistance to cities whose mayors declare themselves "sanctuary" cities and immediately take away tax exemptions from all churches, including the Catholic church, who commit treason to the United States by flaunting U.S. laws in order to protect illegal aliens.
--Laura, Niles, Michigan
All immigrants, age 18 to 45, would have to serve two 15-month tours of duty in Iraq and/or Afghanistan.
--Kirk, Apple Valley, MinnesotaDid the Democrats drop the ball by backing down on a deadline to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq?Yes, they blinked and that is definitely not what we paid them to do. The American people let us know in November that they are disgusted with this war and want our troops out.
--Pat, Naperville, Illinois
Two issues drove me to vote Democratic last year: the war in Iraq and illegal immigration. The Democrats have given in to both issues and have lost my support in the future. God, to have a strong third political party!
--James, Oklahoma City, OklahomaDid anyone in his or her right mind think that the congress would not drop the ball? Obviously there is not enough support to override a threatened veto.
--Steve, Apollo Beach, FloridaWhat can be done to improve the United States' trade deficit with China?Stop buying knick-knacks at Wal-mart. Once we realize the Chinese are using the dollar thus earned to buy up and do joint ventures on oil and gas around the world, it might sink in that this is more complicated than saving a couple of bucks here and there.
-- Peter, Manitou Springs, Colorado
We might try stopping trade with China for a year or so and label everything that comes here from China: "Made in Communist China." Maybe that will remind us of what we have been going to war over for the past 100 years in the name of Democracy.
