Border Patrol Study Shows Bush Amnesty Attracts Illegals

White House, DHS Tried to Block Information from Going Public

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) and Judicial Watch released previously undisclosed documents from the Border Patrol which show that President Bush’s proposed amnesty plan encourages illegal aliens to cross the border into the U.S.

 

The documents, the result of a lengthy legal fight between DHS and Judicial Watch, are survey results from illegal aliens interdicted by the Border Patrol. The survey asked illegal aliens whether they had heard of a U.S. government amnesty plan for illegal aliens (61 percent had) and whether the amnesty plan influenced their decision to cross the border (45 percent answered that it did).

 

In addition to the survey documents, memos from the Border Patrol and the White House suggest that the survey was conducted for political reasons. The survey was initiated on the day that President Bush announced his illegal alien amnesty plan, and it was supposed to run for six months. Three weeks later, a memo apparently from a Border Patrol source (titled “Casa Blanca Additional Info”) said the survey was producing only 38 percent “positive responses.” The survey was stopped days later, and DHS spokespersons received a memo titled “White House Approved Talking Points” which instructed them “not [to] talk about amnesty” or about the President’s illegal alien amnesty plan.

 

“This is a bombshell. The White House and DHS leadership must immediately address the survey and the way the information request was handled so that the American people know that their government isn’t playing politics with national security data,” said Tancredo.

 

“I have said all along that the President’s immigration plan is amnesty, regardless of what the President calls it. We now have proof that illegal aliens understand that it’s amnesty as well, and that it is an enticement to cross the border.”

No way. Bush said his proposal would not increase illegal aliens entering the US hoping it would be passed into law and they would be legal.

He couldn't have been wrong, or lied to us. Could he have?

Ooooh! This is such a surprise!

[Altair333]

Surprise, surprise- this story didn't make any of the major networks' news broadcasts. Did Fox even mention it?

[CharlieChan]

This crap goes way beyond the envelope.
What value is
Healthcare reform
Social Security reform
Tax Reform
etc etc
When the country is near bankrupt
and is being turned over to the 3rd world.
The joke of the decade is the Bushjr National Security Plan.

What F'ing amnesty??? The only amnesty being offered is by Ted Kennedy and John McCain. W is NOT offering an amnesty. He is offering a work program and an expedited INS process. Start your bitching at the US Senate first.

I'm not happy that W will not simply shut down the border everyplace but at actual regulated crossing points. But this is still not the same as offering an amnesty.

Direct quote from GWB: "This program will offer legal status, as temporary workers, to the millions of undocumented men and women now employed in the United States....."

Do you understand?

Comprende'?

That's amnesty.

Read it and weep.

This announcement by Bush was by design. We weren't getting enough Mexicans crossing the borders illegally, so he goosed it up a bit. He and Fox and the traitors known as the Hispanic lobbyists knew before Bush was elected he would make this announcement. He did it very innocently, of course so the people who voted for him wouldn't catch on for a while. I caught on immediately, so did many others. Unfortunately, most of the media and Internet have been taken over by open border people. That illegal Mexican iron curtain began descending, and has remained in place.

Here's hoping Tancredo and Judicial Watch don't drop the ball, and expose Bush for what he is doing. By the end of Bush's term, Mexicans will dominate every facet of American life, pushing citizens out of their own homes by bankrupting them, with the help of Bush and the open border politicians.

Not an amnesty? LOL. Stick around as a "guest worker" (snicker snicker) for six years, and THEN get citizenship. That's the Bush plan.

Sorry Lucy, Charlie Brown ain't kicking that sucker ball again.
