"Conservative leaders who have taken part in private White House meetings in recent weeks said on Friday officials have promised to all but freeze non-defense spending, and assured them Bush will follow through on his threat to veto major highway legislation if Congress refuses to scale it back."

I would like to see the BILLIONS we waste each year on supporting illegal migrants via tax dollars go towards upgrading our rural and interstate roads instead.

We all know it will never happen.

Then back Bush's proposal to change immigration law so that we can control the inflow.

But that's not gonna happen either.

So here we are!

I agree completely. Nothing wrong with spending on roads and infrastructure. I like the way the administration cloaks the issue of illegal immigration, by employing the subterfuge of misdirection, such as: “highway legislation.” etc. (sarcasm)

Also: The securing of our borders is one of the few things that our government is MANDATED -- constitutionally -- to do.

Oh, don’t worry folks: Bush is going to win the election! The Clintons WANT Bush to win! Hilary is waiting to finish the job in 2008 -- God help us! I suspect Ralph Nader may be used as a spoiler against the Dems.

That would mean putting Americans first --- before foreign citizens. Just like $1 billion was included for foreign citizens in the government health care program that used to be for American seniors --- $1 billion that could instead be used to save rural hospitals that are closing must be used to provide free care for people who choose to come here illegally to get it.
