I see. So YOUR solution is to "do nothing", so you've rendered your own posts to meaningless venom.
What is your point?
George Bush took an oath of office to faithfully execute the laws of the land. He is the chief EXECUTIVE. It is his constitutional duty to enforce the laws and he has no right to pick and choose those laws he wants to enforce and to ignore those he doesn't personally like. This is what our self-governing system is all about. It is the people's will as expressed through our representatives in legislation that is supposed to decide these matters.
By his ongoing failure to enforce the democratically enacted laws against illegal immigration President Bush has shown his contempt both for democratic self-governance and the American people. His arrogant refusal to perform his constitutional duty should be met with the one remedy provided by the Constitution to protect the people against the usurpation of their legislative authority -- impeachment. It is now well past time for Congress to assert the rights of the American people to self-governemnt
Good luck with that impeachment - you do realize that "illegal immigration" is not even in the top ten most important issues for most Americans, right?
Yes, I agree. This could be the GOP's Waterloo, if they follow the President down this path. And at the moment, it appears they are doing exactly that.
No, it isn't. Many Conservatives recognize that this is a complicated issue. Porous borders, guest workers, and illegals are different issues. None of which can be corrected with slogans as so many "conservatives" want.
Build it NOW! Build it BIG!!
Beer Makes You Drunk - details at 11
Where is the Congress in all this??? Congress is the government body that writes the legislation and allocates the dollars, and they are the ones that have sat on their hands throughout this illegal invasion.
I see. So YOUR solution is to "do nothing"
That's obviously not what he said. Minimal reading comprehension is all that's required here.
Yes or no: Is making no change to the current policy better than making a bad change?
Please, provide a single example of anyone on this thread, or anyone on this forum for that matter, who's opined that slogans will correct the problem.
Well said.
Good, so maybe you can answer the challenge I posed at #33. I'd wager that we won't be hearing much "speakinout" on it from the one I posed it to. These types are usually all bark and no bite.
What do you think the solution is? Don't tell me that building a fence is it, or that rounding up all illegals is. Both of those are nothing more than slogans.
And I see those posted so many times that I can't believe that you really want me to quote all of them. I'll quote a bunch if that will satisfy you, but I suspect it won't.
So you've redefined the word "slogan" to cover up for your lie. Smooth.
Bush Jr. amnesty betrayal schemes = much larger number of such migrants in the USA, de facto merger with Mexico = very much worse.
When the choice is between nothing and greater harm, nothing is a valid option, and unfortunately until weasel immigration leftists like Ted Kennedy and George Bush are no longer calling the shots, that's as good a choice as we're going to get.
This isn't complicated.
Failed President Bump.
