Businesses and cities that accept identification cards issued by Mexico to its citizens in the United States do so at their own risk because the documents are not fraud-proof, Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said Wednesday.

The Mexican IDs are under review by a White House-led panel to determine if they pose a security risk and whether the cards should be accepted as proper identification.

So we are sheeple, and Bush is part of a vast conspiracy to destroy the Bill of Rights. Just like Hillary. 1. Americans are stupid. 2. A big conspiracy.

I'm done posting on this thread, but I'd hate to see FR come down to this.

Bush has either signed or promised to sign legislation which violates most articles of the Bill of Rights.

Since these decisions were likely made with the input or assistance of other people, yes, that makes it a consipiracy, as defined by their own laws.

For example, by supporting the Assault weapons ban, Bush is conspiring to violate the civil Rights of 300 million Americans. That's a federal crime.

Just like Hillary.

She's all for destroying the Bill of Rights also. She should be in jail now on numerous charges, but isn't (gee, I wonder why? Who runs the DOJ?) The elites protect their own. They are above the law.

I have a right to a gun. I don't have a right to a submachine gun.

I have a right to freedom of speech, but I can't go out on the street and make profane comments.

I have the right to assemble, but I still need a permit.

And Ashcroft is a liberal.

I'm going to ask Admin. Moderator whether I should continue to waste my time.

"There seems to be some mayors and financial institutions that are accepting it. For the time being, they do at their peril," Ridge said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Wonder what the hell that means? Further dismantlement of US has to take place before all risk is removed for the banksters and their traitorous thugs?

Thanks Governor Dean.

How cleaver.

Strange comparison. I've never heard Governor Dean say deport illegals, troops to the border, and reduce legal immigration all things that I support. I would say that Governor Dean and I have little in commom while Dean and GWB would be in agreement on the issues mentioned.

Ridge is setting you up for Amnesty. The argument will be made that we need to legalize the Illegals and document them, as a security matter.

This is a Trojan Horse for Bush and Rove's Amnesty, nothing less.

I have a right to a gun. I don't have a right to a submachine gun.

And your basis for this is......? If you don't like the 2nd amendment, change it through the Constitutional process of getting 70% of your fellow Americans to agree with you. If you can't get 70%, don't try to usurp the Constitution by enacting edicts with only the support of 40% or 50%.

As to the specifics of the 2nd amendment, it enumerates the Right to keep and bear arms. Since it's an individual Right, that means it applies to any small arms weapon that can be operated by an individual. Be it a handgun, or automatic rifle.

I have a right to freedom of speech, but I can't go out on the street and make profane comments.

And your point is....?

There is no 'prior restraint' concerning speech. Unlawful speech, is dealt with only AFTER an act has been committed. Not before. Gun laws should be the same way. No "prior restraint".

I have the right to assemble, but I still need a permit.

Do you keep that "permit" with your permits to go to church, or permits to take a walk around your block?

And Ashcroft is a liberal.

Ashcroft is a statist who favors an expansionist government and total police state (read Patriot Act II if you doubt this fact).

And he's also incompetent if he can't defeat a bunch of islamic terrorists on our own soil using existing laws-- the same laws that were good enough for us to thwart the Soviet Union here, and THEY had much better technology, as well as paid spies at the FBI, CIA, and likely in Congress as well.

I'm going to ask Admin. Moderator whether I should continue to waste my time.

Are you going to ask him if it's okay for you to use the restroom as well?

Some Latino groups are awaiting a position from the White House on the debate over the cards, which they say will be a measure of his commitment to Hispanics.

That kinda says all we need to know, Joe. The fix is in. Welcome to the war between the 1st and 3rd world, coming soon....live and in color.

That explains the Latino group throwing eggs at him today. Time to change the tagline.

People on both sides have been mislead as to Arnold's current views on Illegals.

You should have read the link at the tagline more closely. In Arnold's own words, from Sean Hannity's show last week...

Said Proposition 187, the 1994 measure that denied many services to illegal immigrants, was "history" because it has been largely voided by the courts. He supported the proposition at the time voters approved it. "Now we have to move forward with the whole thing and to look at it, what we're going to do with all the people that are undocumented immigrants here in this state. What should we do? Should we have them to stay here, which I think is the right way to do, but how do you then include them in our society, how do you make it official, how do you make it legal?" he said. He added he would try to team up with other states with large immigrant populations and lobby the federal government to address the issue.
LINK

Arnold wants to lead other states in an effort to lobby Washington for the legalization of Illegals.

His words, my friend, and they add up to: Amnesty.

But the Hispanics today don't want Arnold elected. (just like and you and the Patsies)

The 'rats are really going for broke here, hoping to swing illegal voters into an unbeatable block, like the PRI in Mexico, before they are swept out of office.
