"The proposals will be a test for Bush because some House Republicans are skeptical and even hostile to the idea of liberalizing immigration controls...

Good! I hope Congress kicks Bush's butt on this! Bush should concentrate on the 3,000,000 Americans who have lost their jobs since he took office instead of worry about millions of illegal aliens... I voted for Bush in '00, but I can guarantee you it won't happen again.

I don't know if this petition will help (I found here at FreeRepublic), but I signed it and you might think about signing it, too... Thanks

It is time for elected Rs to start standing up for conservative principles. If this propels them into action, so much the better. About time they got a backbone.

So sad that we will again have to hope that Tancredo in the House or Byrd (!) in the Senate can again manage to pull Bush's knife out of our back.

I don't know if this dim bulb in the White House really wants to abolish the USA in favor of a merged state with Mexico, or if he just doesn't care or understand what happens after he panders his way to a second term.

Suport Bush-Amnesty 2007 ! For Illegals Arriving After Bush-Amnesty 2004 The Next Next Amnesty - It's never too early to care.

I signed it.

We need the current laws vigorously enforced and tightened up on. We don't need to make it easier for them to get in. It needs to be a damn sight harder.

Frank Sharry, executive director of the National Immigration Forum, an immigrant advocacy group, said he fears the Social Security plan could be used as an incentive for workers to go home instead of settling in the United States, which could create what he called "a permanent class of temporary workers with no political power."

Sounds good to me. If this is really all about people from a poor country who want to work their butts off for a decent wage then let it be so. They have political power in the countries they come from and their welcome to excercise it there.

There should be a general reply option on this website, I am not necessarily replying to #1.

About a year ago, I started posting my opposition to GWB's policies towards illegal immigrants, and stated that I would not support his re-election.

I was continually scarified by Cool-Aid drinking Republicans. I put up with multiple ad hominem attacks.

Look folks, we stop flights from coming into our country yet we leave a border pourous. Anyone can smuggle whatever nasty into our country through the Southwest.

And GWB does not have the courage to stop it.

Any President who will not address our security is not going to get my vote; I do not care who the alternative is.

GWB is a coward when it comes to dealing with our under belly - the Mexican border.

Glad to see there are others who agree.

At first I thought this was a hoax.

[Conservative_Nationalist]

We must do everything we can to stop this and things like this. If Bush goes ahead with this or anything similar I will definitely not vote for him. We better put as much pressure on these politicians as possible while showing full support for guys like Tancredo. Illegal immigration is ruining our country and I will never vote for someone who supports it in any way at all.

This is where we go overboard and hurt our own cause. The goal is not to stop all immigration, which would result in too few young people paying taxes for too many retirees, as is about to happen in Japan and much of Europe. Instead we want to send home illegals while making sure the existing legal immigration quotas are filled by people who have a history of hard work and clean criminal records in their home countries. And no second class citizens AKA guest workers! But saying "stop immigration now," even just in a web site name, makes us seem like unreasonable hotheads and is going to backfire.

[Zipporah]

Until the administration takes seriously the issue re open borders, Homeland Security is basically.......

[Mamzelle]

Someone please tell me why he is doing this. This makes no sense, and is a betrayal of the American citizen and taxpayer.

[4.1O dana super trac pak]

Why does a popular President with no opposition, a virtual shoo-in for reelection, constantly flirt with liberalism and socialism? It makes no sense.

[Zipporah]

This is absolutely amazing.. IF any of my employees give wrong information on a I-9 (required for employment) OR as employers we do not complete the form in full, it's a federal offense.. SO I see, illegals give WRONG social security numbers .. and that's okay.. ?? Make sense of that?.. sigh..

From the article:

"Undocumented workers now pay billions of dollars annually into Social Security but do not collect benefits because they give their employers fraudulent Social Security numbers."

"Frank Sharry, executive director of the National Immigration Forum, an immigrant advocacy group, said he fears the Social Security plan could be used as an incentive for workers to go home instead of settling in the United States, which could create what he called "a permanent class of temporary workers with no political power."

"The knock that will be put on Republicans is that they want immigrants as workers but not as voters," Sharry said.

Oh yeah, right.

If you are already an American citizen, and you reside in State A but work in State B ... you cannot vote (if you have an upright moral code) in State B where you pay taxes without representation.

Yet the liberals want an illegal alien to vote in State B. Indeed, the liberals are not worried about illegal aliens paying any taxes other than Social Security, as the liberals much prefer the illegals' vote ... and will Tax Credit to the n-th degree in order to get those votes.
