Bush, Senators Seek Common Ground on Immigration

Putting the Dems in power will only force Bush to do more undeserable things to keep from being impeached, such as a full withdrawl from Iraq/Afghanistan and having to tell the nation that the war was a "Mistake" when it really was not. Also, Bush will have to allow for welfare to be given to illegals, and will have to remove the Minutemen from the border or face impeachment.

"Putting the Dems in power will only force Bush to do more undeserable things to keep from being impeached, such as a full withdrawl from Iraq/Afghanistan and having to tell the nation that the war was a "Mistake" when it really was not."

You can't actually believe this can you.

I know and I can't understand why the Republicans don't understand that. Do they really think all these illegal immigrants are going to vote Republican?

Most illegals are in the lower income bracket. On the average, people who make low salaries, will vote for Democrats. And we all know why.

If Bush is this weak on Immigration, and Bush wants to keep his image clean for main stream historians, he will capitulate to the Democrats and moderate Republicans on the war issue if the Demorats win in 2006.

[CWOJackson]

Ain't it grand.

[Uncle Vlad]

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi...Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid...get used to it, folks. Sadly, it's an inevitability.

[nopardons]

Miss Cleo...is that you?

What do you use to read the president's mind; an Ouija board, a scrying mirror, a crystal ball, Tarot cards...all of these things?

[nopardons]

*sigh*

[CWOJackson]

So, what label is on the bottle you're drinking from? I'd sure like to try some of that stuff.

President Bush met Tuesday at the White House with a bipartisan group of senators to discuss ways to overhaul immigration, a chat that earned the president kudos from two men normally among his staunchest critics.

And a move that's going to cost him dearly in historical hindsight and with his base. Does the word "lead" ever pop into the president's mind? I'm really starting to think that his "leading" us into Iraq was less out of a sense of resolve and doing what's right and more out of a sense of realizing that it would be popular.

"It is important that we reform a system that is not working. It's important that we uphold the values of the United States of America. It's important that we treat people with dignity," the president said. "I strongly believe that we have a chance to get an immigration bill that is comprehensive in nature to my desk before the end of this year."

How about treating existing Americans with some damn dignity? For a change!

And though the president maintained his opposition to what he called "automatic amnesty" for illegal immigrants already in the country, he also expressed support for "a bill that says somebody who's working here on a legal basis has the right to get in line to become a citizen."

Does he truly believe that most Americans are this stupid?

Apparently so.

[Thunder90]

Just trying to say that we must keep Republicans in the majority. Shake them up by not donating to the ones who are against border protection, and make a big deal about voting for the person (say that you disagree about the immigration issue), but still vote Republican in the fall elections. We must NOT allow the democrats to get power.

[Thunder90]

Just saying that we must get Bush to get some backbone and not give in to big business intrests and the Main stream media media and the far left dims in the congress.

the answer is not to import cheap labor. the answer is to raise the pay of americans to the level that is necessary to attract and keep qualified people. simple. everyone (except george bush and the senate) knows this. (actually, they do, too. but they lie.) even harry reid. my five year old daughter knows this. it is an economic law, immutable as gravity.

Even if the "easy out" is to import cheap labor and it's viable, it isn't worth destroying our nation over.

Honestly, let's just open up the stinkin' borders and declare entry to all that want. Hell, that's about where we're headed here. When the population reaches 600 million in ten years and 25% of our nation looks like a cheap campground, maybe then we'll get the message. Of course it'll be way too late. Hell, it's already all but too late given the speed at which the government does anything even when they do get it right. This country simply can't stand another 20 million plus, from who knows where, here.

Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy called the meeting a "bipartisan coming-together" and said, "We still have a ways to go, but I certainly appreciate the president's involvement and his willingness to be engaged."

Gosh. Who'd have ever thought there was room in bed with Ted the Swimmer...

[savedbygrace]

johnboy,

That's awesome. You ought to send it to Rush, Hannity, etc. Well done.

(Can I steal it?)

[nopardons]

By posting made up garbage to FR?

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Thunder90]

I am just trying to say that we MUST not allow the democrats to take back the congress.

[EagleUSA]

It's important that we uphold the values of the United States of America.

Yes, I agree and the above statement is diametric to what he is doing. He is destroying American values, culture and principle.

[Fruitbat]

Yep!

[nopardons]

No, that really is NOT what you are saying. If that had been what you were saying, I would have responded to you quite differently.
