The words, 'comprehensive' and 'omnibus' should be banned inside the Beltway of Washington DC.

I don't know about y'all, but in my ole' head -- our Congress always seems to create the most mischief when they create so called Comprehensive or Omnibus pieces of legislation.....

I present as Exhibit One - the 2000 page Obamacare comprehensive health care act.

These folks stood in line and came in legally!

As Exhibits Two to One thousand - the plethora of Omnibus spending bills (which legislators pile everything on, including the $5000 kitchen sinks) passed over the years....

And now, as Exhibit #1001: I present the 'Comprehensive Immigration Reform and for other purposes." proposed Senate Bill S.744. just passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee and sent to the full Senate....   I kid you not --- part of the title is really "and for other purposes"...

I don't reckon I'll cut and paste all 1921 pages of this foolishness, but I dare you to go look at it by clicking here!

Yep, I said 1921 pages...

Why in tarnation don't they pass a: 'Secure the Borders Act'?

Then pass an enforceable and controllable 'Bracero Act'?

And finally pass an acceptable act that will straighten out our whole fouled up immigration/visa system?

Finally - pass appropriate legislation to solve our illegal immigrant population problem?

These didn't!!

I guess we all know the reason why -- 'Cause the actions promulgated in each of these bills is dependent on the give and take of the different liberal vs conservative mind sets in the Senate. (those that still have minds under those manes of silver hair, that is)  

There has got to be a better way -- and I am moving rapidly into that body of thought that thinks that term limits is the only way to go. And since them folks won't term limit themselves, it's about time the American Voters started term limiting them at the ballot box. 

Those that remember to vote and know the name of their legislators that is -- not those who just pull the D or R switch.......

I was going to address Gerrymandering and how it is bringing down the House of Representatives year by year.... but since this item is about the Senate - I'll save it for another day!
