What Karl Rove Should Tell La Raza

White House adviser Karl Rove is scheduled to speak tomorrow at the annual conference of the federally funded, left-wing, open-borders-advocacy group, the National Council of La Raza.

If he does not want his speech to look like an act of appeasement, he should confront La Raza on its opposition to commonsense policies designed to secure both U.S. borders and U.S. pocketbooks.

La Raza, which means “The Race” in Spanish, has denounced as “horrendous” and “appalling” the House immigration bill passed in December, which was sponsored by Judiciary Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R.-Wis.) and supported by the overwhelming majority of House Republicans. The bill, which calls for tough worksite enforcement of immigration laws and 700 miles of border fencing, was condemned by La Raza as a “laundry list of mean-spirited and intrusive provisions concocted by the most radical immigrations restrictionists in Congress.”

Will Rove defend the immigration reforms passed by President Bush’s party in the House and tell La Raza that House Republicans are neither “mean-spirited” nor “radical”? He should. House Republicans deserve Rove’s support.

Your insipid, vapid, namecalling responses should stay in the same puerile gene pool.

ROFLMAO. Were you SPITTING when you posted that, boy?

Reagan Amnesty passed in 1986. The law did not come into full effect for several years after that. Reagan believed congress when it said "we'll fund border enforcement after the amnesty is passed". Bush has no intention of enforcing borders or immigration laws. Bush is telling the same lie that was told in 1986, knowing what a failure the 1986 amnesty was.

Bull squat. The only Republican president to grant full unconditional amnesty is the Gipper. You can dodge and weave but you can't fight the facts.

Gawd, you're pathetic.
Are you twelve or still just eleven and a half?
Go to bed.

Hey Luis!
GOOD to see you.

[garbageseeker]

Ask "kellynla" for that.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Karl Rove is going to give a speech to a bunch of lawyers and business people, most of them leftists.

That's what politicians do, give speeches.

You all in here seem to think that the most powerful nation in the world should be run a la Jerry Springer...that's not the way real life, big time politics works.

[garbageseeker]

Politicians also ask for money at those same speeches.

Allow free movement of people from Mexico & Canada

Reagan himself was a dreamer, capable of imagining a world without trade barriers. In announcing his presidential candidacy in Nov. 1979, he had proposed a “North American accord” in which commerce & people would move freely across the borders of Canada & Mexico. This idea, largely overlooked or dismissed as a campaign gimmick in the US, rankled nationalist sensibilities in the neighboring nations. But Reagan was serious in his proposal. Though he traveled only once outside the North American continent during his first 57 years, he was neither insular nor isolationist. California has windows to the world in Asia, and Reagan thought of the US as a Pacific power as well as an Atlantic one. He also had a Californian’s consciousness of Mexico and an actor’s appreciation of Canadians, who are well-represented in the film community. The dream of a North American accord would drive the successful pursuit of a US-Canadian free trade agreement and a future-oriented “framework” trade agreement with Mexico Source: The Role of a Lifetime, by Lou Cannon, p. 461 Jul 2, 1991

[Texasforever]

You posted it.

[Luis Gonzalez]

OK...and?

[rottndog]

Hey, I'm not defending Reagan's biggest failure (but at least Reagan admitted this was the worst mistake of his presidency). But what's worse--screwing up, or repeating someone else's screwup with the full knowledge of what a screwup it was?

[garbageseeker]

You can write ask her for it.

[onyx]

LOL! I luv ya, Luis.

[Texasforever]

The hell you aren't you graded Bush as the worst and dared anyone to deny it. I denied it and posted the proof. Fr is not a place to make half assed claims an not expect to be called on it.
