What's a war on terror with porous borders? Get on the stick Prez!

This is going to kill the GOP in terms of conservative turnout in November.

One question, and not in defense of anyone : what did Clinton's border policies do; thrill people? Did you approve of it? They were just as or even more porous during the Clinton administration. Where were the complaints then?

[VU4G10]

Well, everything changed on 911.

Another question: I hear alleged conservatives threatening to "vote democrat in '08 if that's what it takes to seal our borders"; who can name a Democrat in recent history who's tried sealing the borders, rather than passing state legislation giving free health care and college tuition to illegals?

Get on the stick Prez!

Nope...it's get on the stick Congress. Bush submitted his proposal in Jan 2004 and again in Nov 2004 and Congress declared it DOA both times. From what I have heard, Cheney has also been lobbying them to pass something. If they don't like Bush's proposal, then it is up to them to come up with one they can all live with. That is where you need to direct your rants people...

The former governor of Colorado, Lamm(sp?). he is one of the very few, though.

To the point though, the inaction and push for a guestworker plan without first implementing tougher enforcement measures is disappointing.

[FerdieMurphy]

I hate Clinton.

I'm just POed at GWB!

As another pointed out 9-11 happened.

If you don't like the Bush policy on letting illegals become citizens then do something about it.

Its free.

We are the nations premier grass roots anti illegal immigration group. We phone fax and email our representatives.

We got the law out of the House that was hailed as a surprise victory for America.

The next battle is the Senate. They have it in their minds that they will pass an amnesty program.

I am willing to bet that when they get 175 thousand phone calls, faxes and emails every day (while they consider this legislation in March) that their minds will be changed too.

Join us and have a ring side seat in the fight that you participate in with your voice as a citizen!

See my post #9, your frustration is misdirected. Whether we believe he is right or wrong in his proposal, we have to give him credit for at least trying to do something, that is better than Congress has done.

"Well, everything changed on 911."

No it didn't, because I distinctly remember the "close the borders and build a wall" crowd complaining that porous borders were the REASON for 9/11: "If the borders had been sealed, those Arab terrorists wouldn't have been in this country to perpetrate it" {paraphrasing]

[jackbenimble]

Whether we believe he is right or wrong in his proposal, we have to give him credit for at least trying to do something, that is better than Congress has done.

Baloney. President Bush has at his disposal a whole body of existing current law. If he really wanted to try to do something, he could try enforcing it.

[dagnabbit]

No. Doing nothing is better than Bush's schemes to tear the border even wider open with his permanent amnesty and global labor market for all American jobs.

Bush deserves scorn and derision, not credit, for his dishonest machinations to abolish our only homeland in favor of a merged state with Mexico.

We just dont want any more. Get it? How tough is that to grasp.? Who gives a damn about cheap labor if it costs our society billions in government benefits over the life of our new "citizens". How about a deal- they learn english, they wait in line and then they sign a waiver to ANY government welfare program over their lives?

"The former governor of Colorado, Lamm(sp?). he is one of the very few, though."

Waitaminute....isn't Denver Colorado the city which has an Hispanic majority?

[cake_crumb]

"That is where you need to direct your rants people..."

As with Democrats, their definition of the powers of the Legislative and Executive branches differs according to their personal gripes.
