I do not like this. Our open borders are going to be a problem in the near future.

Instead of guest workers, how about they earn their way through military service? All able bodied illegals can earn their way through military service.

If this is what he wants to spend his "capital" on (and I think he knows that it went over like a lead balloon with those who voted for him despite this policy), so be it. It'd be nice if he showed a little respect to American citizens who get their wages depressed, their ERs shut down, their schools diminished...and who send their sons to fight his war.

He has yet to explain his crazy infatuation with Vicente, but I guess it defies explanation.

We need to start martialing opposition--and I think we need to develop a legal theory for the civil courts. It's time to start suing lawbreaking employers for citizen discrimination.

Good. We've got to do something about the 6-10 million illgals already here. You and your Border Patrol pals blew the coverage the last 10 years. We've got to do something to atone for your incompetence.

Guess he doesn't mind blowing any political capital he gained, for a non-starter. So be it, any politician who promotes illegals will get their arses handed to them on a silver plater. And any politician who votes with Bush on this issue will be out of a job next election cycle, In fact, if there is anyway to recall them before then, we will see to that also.

Americans and America first, anything less is anti-American.

W also needs to send his good buddy Vicente a bill for the cost his people are causing for services rendered. Our hospitals and jails are going bankrupt because of all the wetbacks, oops I mean undocumented workers.

Immigration is the one issue that would ever cause me to abandon the Republican party.
The D.C. Republicans have no idea what is happening to us out here in flyover country. Our jails are overflowing, our hospitals are on the verge of collapse, and are schools are busting at the seams.
The few American property owners left have watched their taxes swell for a decade to fund the lifestyles choices of "undocumented workers". In my home town we have had to build a new jail, a new high school, junior high and 5 elem. schools. We now provide breakfast, lunch, and afterschool snacks. Our town is now 60-70% "immigrant", crime has soared, businesses are closing, and the people who can afford to simply leave. Our downtown now looks like Tijuana on a bad night, gunshots ring out all over the "eastside" barrios, assault, robbery and rape are becoming rather common and people don't go out at night.
Even the restaurants are Spanish speaking only. The our drive throughs at McD's and Burger King are Spanish. "Yo quero el Whopper, por favor"

It's beyond the point of ridiculious, it's become a comic tragedy what we have allowed happen to our communities.

Why doesnt Fox take care of his own people instead of pushing them and his problems off on us?

With our looming deficit how can the government have anymore of a strain on its budget and states budgets which appear to have serious problems as well, why put more of a financial drain on Americans and America for Fox and his country?

5 million of them?
Before there is any workers program shouldn't the borders be better protected and not allow anymore in?

Wouldn't it be better if the police were able to arrest and deport the illegals that are here now? Conduct A operation roundup and get them out of here.

The so-called immigration reform doe not make any sense at all its like a bandaid on a cancer plus
they are a security risk AND a financial drain, I had heard that they cost states $15k or more per individual of which we pick up the tab
.
When did we turn into the biggest nanny state with all these giveaways? So greedy companies can hire CHEAP labor BUT we have to pay for them getting the benefit of cheap labor, they sure DONT pass the savings on to us the consumers!!

I am mad-as-h*# and something needs to be done about the administrations attitude toward this terrible mess. ENOUGH already!

5 million ILLEGALS! Doesnt that just make you be able to sleep nites and feel much more secure? NO! NOT!
Round them up and send them to Iraq first to help out our troops there and than maybe they will EARN a right to live and work in our Country. Imagine sending 5 million of them to Iraq, boy we sure would get that war over quick and it wouldnt cost the government much at all. Thats a great way to support our hardworking troops! They claim that we need more troops well there you go a SOLUTION!

Than we would see how fast all 5 million illegals would suddenly disappear. POOF! I can see them now trying to sneak back into their country.

Why don't we just scrap "Homeland Security" and stop wasting the money.
On this issue Bush couldn't be more wrong and he is spitting in the faces of most of the people who put him back in office.
The only way we can thwart bush's position is to Hammer Congress to pass the right laws to control the borders.

Even if Bush vetoes a good law his veto can be trumped by Congress.

I voted for Bush.

Your suggestion to send them to war is exactly what was done to the Irish coming here at the time of the Civil War and they were drafted a put in the Army.
A great many of them died during the war and never saw their families again.

I think your suggestion is great , GREAT.
When they are sent to Iraq put a democrat under each arm.

"I told President Fox that I had campaigned on this issue," Bush told reporters....

He did not campaign on this issue. He knew better. What BS. Blackbird.

Enjoy your fantasy delusions.

There was one Marine killed in Fallujah last week who will probably get the Congressional Medal of Honor for hording a grenade and saving his fellow Marines. Sgt. Rafael Peralta was a Mexican citizen. No doubt the border-wedgies will decry any such Congressional effort to accord honors to 'foreners.'

On Sunday, Bush conceded a point that Fox and his aides have been making: that legalizing the flow of large numbers of immigrants would free the U.S. Border Patrol to concentrate on terrorists, drug smugglers and other security threats.(my emphasis)

That's it in a nutshell. Their mutual goal is uncontrolled massive immigration from Mexico!!!
