"Legalization for aliens a 'must,' Bush announces"
I cannot think of a better way to fire up that ole base Mr. President.
Sheer unadulterated friggin' grade A Genius.
Reagan later admitted he was wrong. He was also wrong about AIDS and he later apologized. Reagan knew he was fallible and so he aimed to self-correct. GW Bush will never admit he was wrong except to say he appointed somebody wrong for a job.
Now GW Bush ought to know that the 1986 Amnesty was a failure and his current push for 'comprehensive' blah is also wrong. But he cares not for Reagan followers and so he will 'stay his own course'. If it were not for the fact that the democrap party has been taken over by leftist dimwits and corrupt grafters, GW Bush would never have seen a 2nd term.
But he is thinking as a globalist just like his father. They have a 'plan', a plan for the North American Union.
And then there is a follow-on plan for a 'Union of the Americas'.
And yes it is entirely possible for a great percentage of the 20 million illegally here to go home.
Five years ago it was three million, then it was thought to be eight million, now twelve million but in reality it is probably 20+ million.
The twenty million will go home as they find it difficult to make a dollar in America. Local towns are now leading the way, later it will be the States. Congress will be irrelevant.
Amen. I understand that the President said he wanted to be more like Ronald Reagan than his dad, but with all due respect to the Gipper, I wish he'd be more like Ike Eisenhower. Ike took a year to deport a million illegals during his Administration. I resent the President (and McCain) insinuating that they're morally superior because they don't want to make illegals follow our laws (or suffer the consequences). Rather than making the President (and those who support him on this) look more "moral", their words and deeds on ILLEGAL immigration make them look like petty partisans (alternately afraid of, and pandering after, the "Latino vote", which they're not getting anyway).
Suck on post 22 Mr. Amnesty
For the life of me, I don't understand why Bush is trying to destroy America. The public has made it clear that we don't want any kind of amnesty, and for him to make these kind of reckless statements it is going to hurt the GOP. IF the RATS gain control, they plan to impeach him. They've already said so. I don't appreciate what he's doing to our country.
You do have to wonder, don't you? The RNC is putting money into the Senate races (where "comprehensive amnesty" has already been approved), and not doing squat to support Speaker Hastert and the House (which has been the bulwark against illegal immigration). Limbaugh said that he tried to talk Rove down from supporting amnesty, but the boy wouldn't budge from his pet theory that the Republicans are doomed if they don't get that "Latino vote".
I see he's rolling out the red carpet, again.
An apalling and shameful dereliction of duty.
better yet..get in the closet and wring your hands...We'll take care of it for ya.....
President Bush must understand that most of us do not consider our borders to be the door to Les Nessman's office - it's not just a line of tape on the floor that you can cross at will.
Until that happens, and more politicians realize that this kind of solution is unacceptable, there will be no meaningful immigration reform.
Yep. Get ready for a civil war... because it is coming... a great number of the Mexicans are not loyal to the USA...
Let them go to Mexico if they want to be Mexicans...
Dwight Eisenhower, 1954. "Operation Wetback"
That was before the modern media - before the modern world. And it was 1 Million out of a population of 150 Million, versus twelvle million out of a population of 300 Million.
Mass deportation is not a practical answer. For starters, the Courts would stop it. Second, it wouldn't have Congressional support. Third, once the bad politics started to become clear, supporters would turncoat just like they did on Iraq.
The approach I prefer I like to call "soft deportation."
1) Build a fence.
2) Pass laws which make illegal life much harder. I'd start by targeting remittances back to their home nations.
But anyone who thinks that mass roundups could happen today is out of their mind. It's not politically feasible and sticking to it leaves you out of the practical debate.
Also, I'll add, that this story is written as as distorted a fashion as anything out of the MSM - it's simply slanted against the President in a different way.
To be "respectful to our heritage" we'd need to flood the country with Europeans.
I don't know what "law" he's talking about. Must be the illegal invader amnesty law yet to be passed.
DUH! Psst...Einstein! Because Reagan signed an amnesty!
What's your solution--NOT enforcing the laws on the books? Retard.
Yes, I'm Mr. Amnesty--which is why I criticized Reagan for signing an amnesty into law, you moron.
