Alas, I think you are right about most if not ALL Republican Senators. Their sole interest is the perpetuation of their sinecures and the best way to do that is not rock the boat.
This is one of the reasons we need term limits.
Good quote:
“This country must remember that it is based upon the concept of the rule of law. We are a nation of laws - we must abide by the laws we have adopted to deal with the problems of immigration, drugs, and terrorism."
"It is not enough to pass laws in Congress or in the state legislatures and then ignore them because we are afraid of offending special interests or because of notions of political correctness. And there is no way a country can fight a war against terrorism when it ignores its borders, refuses to enforce its laws away from the borders, and provides sanctuary or informal immunity to those who have broken our laws by coming here illegally or staying beyond their welcome.” ~Peter Nunez;
- former United States Attorney, Southern District of California (1982-1988), Chairman of the Board of Directors at the Center for Immigration Studies.

...risk is already apparent when Muslim prayer blankets and copies of the Koran have been found in the brush along the Arizona border with Mexico. It is even more alarming when members of the Mexican Government have admitted selling passage with immigration documents to middle eastern people who cannot gain entry into the US by any other means. Syrians as well as others who were apparently on watch lists contacted this offical who issued them visas for a healthy price. The current trend is to assimilate these middle easterers into groups of illegal immigrants, teach them to answer the Border Patrol in spanish and help them to enter undetected through the wide open Arizona border.

Couple that with La Raza members being nominated to the highest law enforcement position in the Nation and to head the Transportation Department and we can see that Americans are fighting a losing battle. La Raza lists their mission statement openly, La Raza translates to "The Race"... "For those within 'the race,' everything; for those outside 'the race,' nothing." This is what they preach. This is strictly a "brown separatist/supremacy" organization. It is about as racially discriminating as it can get.

The biggest slap in the face to the American public occurred when President Bush stood right here in the Valley of the Sun at the Presidential Debates in Tempe and claimed that he did not support AMNESTY for people who have broken our immigration laws. The administration could not even wait for the inauguration, Colin Powell was paving the way for Bush to go make his back door deals in Mexico with the corrupt government of Vincente (I can't fix my own problems) Fox setting the stage for AMNESTY under the guise of a new guest worker program. With no third term to worry about and no backlash from taxpaying Americans, President Bush is ready to sell us out and open the door to reward those who have broken our laws. Guest worker is just another word for Amnesty.
Here are his actual words: "My attitude is this: My attitude is, so long as there is a willing worker and an employer looking to hire somebody, we ought to have a system that allows for temporary work in America, in an honest, open way; in a way that talks to the values of our country. I oppose amnesty, loud and clear, because amnesty will encourage further illegal immigration; amnesty rewards somebody for breaking the law. On the other hand, I do want to change a system that has ignored reality and allow a willing employer to be matched with willing employee in an honest, open way."
Honestly Mr. President, you immediately went to Mexico and sold us out as soon as you could, your credibility is gone with us.
Instead of an answer to a simple question you come up with silly insults. Brilliant.

And if another attack occurs on US soil and it turns out that any of the attackers crossed the southern border there will be no one to blame but for W.,
...I give you an insulting response. Stop pinging me.
No.
Exactly the type of response I expected.
Don't tell me, Tell the American Taxpayers in California , Arizona, New Mexico and other states who carry the Economic Burden of Bush's policy on the Mexican Border.
Bush could change the whole mess with one order.
Ahhhh, to have such profound wisdom...
Now for some serious "preliminary" thought:
Why doesn't the Mexican Government simply become an employment agency and farm their people out to employers in the US who need their services? The Mexican government could bill the employers for their services and be payed directly - with the Mexican Government then paying their people.
This would give the Mex Gov an incentive and a large bureaucracy (jobs in Mexico!) to manage and to collect funds out of the employer payments to cover their people's social programs, etc.!
My muddled thinking continues - maybe more later - now got do some work and earn a few bucks!
Actually the law is probably still on the books, it was issued in the mid Eighties to get rid of Illegal Aliens in the Construction Industry.
The Fine by the Federal Govt. for a first time offense was $10,000.00 dollars. We were required to report any employee who was in violation, even if they were in the union and the country for 30 years or more.
No one will ever know until the Bush administration gets the will and courage to try.
Borders, language and culture bump.
New poll up!
Do you believe the Bush Administration should inform Mexico's interior secretary that there is no 'right' for Mexican citizens to work in the United States?
Yes 96% 2204 votes
No 4% 98 votes
Total: 2302 votes

Well, well, I found your "proof"..........
Only one problem: it's a lie:
"Alberto Gonzales served with distinction on the board of directors of one of NCLR’s oldest and most respected affiliates, the Association for the Advancement of Mexican Americans in Houston, Texas," she said.
Now, what does this EVIL Association for the Advancement of Mexican Americans do?
Founded in 1970, the Association for the Advancement of Mexican Americans (AAMA) is committed to the advancement of at-risk and disadvantaged youth and families through innovative programs that provide alternative education, social services, and community development. Key programs include the George I. Sanchez High School, the first Hispanic-accredited alternative high school in the state of Texas; an Alcohol and Drug Abuse Program; an AIDS Awareness Program; and Barrios Unidos, a gang intervention program. Other programs focus on elementary school youth, adult literacy, abused and homeless children, and economic and community development.
Hardly the boogeyman you made it out to be -- and hardly a "high level officla with LaRaz" you and Michelle claim he is.
You have yet to offer any of us one whit of proof that he was a HIGH LEVEL official with LaRaz or that "He support La Raza's agenda - he probably helped draft it. "
Now, I have found proof that disputes your assertions about Alberto Gonzales; you show me some information that backs up your wild accusations or admit you are wrong.
I gave him all afternoon and he's got nothing to show for it. He still gets an F.
Excellent post.
