Border Patrol Agents Warn: Bush Plan is a Trojan Horse --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Jim Kouri May 18, 2006
In a joint statement, members of the US Border Patrol, Local 2544, called President George W. Bush's border security and illegal immigration plan a Trojan Horse.
"Every day that President Bush and the Senate hold real border security hostage to their misguided amnesty program, thousands upon thousands of illegal aliens continue to flood into the country. Make no mistake, most of them get by us. We are losing this war, and it's not even close. Contact your senators and congressmen now. Tell them to secure the border and tell them to reject amnesty programs (so called 'guest-worker')," said member agents.
The agents said that Bush and the US Senate don't "get it," but Republicans in the US House of Representatives "get it." The American people "get it."
Border Patrol agents point out the illegal immigration problem is a simple issue to solve: Shut the border down to illegal aliens crossing into the US, then begin "hammering" the greedy employers who hire them.
"It's not complicated, folks," they stress.
Promising more amnesty is not going to dissuade anyone from coming into the US illegally.
The Border Patrol agents then turned their ire towards the President. They say his post-speech propaganda trip to Yuma, Arizona is a carefully planned PR stunt. There are a lot of very wealthy farmers in the Yuma area who dominate the local economy and have been using the cheap labor of illegal aliens to build their wealth for many years. Bush speaks their language.
The agents add, "The American people should also know that any 'statements' or 'comments' from top-level Border Patrol managers should be taken with a grain of salt. They say what they're told to say. Period."
The Border Patrol also noted that "President Bush is doing back flips to assure the hypocritical El Presidente Fox that America will not 'militarize' the border."
"We didn't realize that Fox was running things here. Is the Mexican government paying for any of this? Of course not. Further, Fox has already "militarized" the border. Mexico has plenty of troops on the border. We know this because we see them all the time and they shoot at us with rather large .50 caliber rifles. All we can do is hope their aim is bad, run from them, and then watch as the cowards from our government hide from the issue, and their government lies about them even being there.
"So........if Fox is so concerned with the 'militarization' of the border perhaps he should start on his side of the border. Fox needs to learn that the United States of America is a sovereign nation and has the absolute right to secure its borders. Fox does not have the right to dictate our internal policies. He uses his consulate officers to harass us, file lawsuits, and use every trick in the book to undermine border security so he can continue to send millions upon millions of his citizens over here to send millions upon millions of dollars back to him."
According to Senator Ted Kennedy, Americans support amnesty for illegal aliens. "Hey Teddy, we are Americans, and we don't support anything you're doing. You are a disgrace. Make sure you count us out when you lie to everyone about the "broad support" your amnesty plan enjoys,"said the Border Patrol agents.

Translation from the union: "We want higher salaries."
Well now, that's the one thing you won't hear out of Congress or the White House. I suppose the proper tribute has been paid.
Or 'Gimme some too...'
I regret deeply, campaigning for bush in 04. Whoever runs in the third party this time gets my vote. pubs & dems both worthless hacks.
FYI

I am no fan of unions. Why are the unions not speaking out against illegal immigration? Seems the unions are losing membership possibilities if illegals consume the jobs. The Farm Workers Union should be the most vocal opponent to illegal immigration. Anyone know what is going on here?
It seems nobody but McKennedy is buying the Bush amnesty
I liked the border patrol, right until I learned that they are unionized.
But, but, but the Republican's are going to send you off the cliff at 10 MPH rather than 60 MPH....
Huh. Is it appropriate for these agents to criticise the President like this?
Sounds more like they want to be able to accomplish their mission and secure the border, and they're tired of being attacked from the rear.
I never heard of anyone saying they would vote for someone they hadn't even heard of yet.
"There are a lot of very wealthy farmers in the Yuma area who dominate the local economy and have been using the cheap labor of illegal aliens to build their wealth for many years. Bush speaks their language."
They should be voluntarily paying a luxury tax as an offset to the social cost. Put it in the SS system. If they are audited and haven't paid the tax, treat em like drug dealers who don't pay their tax. Confiscate their stuff. The agent's right. It's not complicated. Close the border and hammer employers. just don't bitch when the inflationary pressures of paying more for citizens to do the work coupled with rising enrgy cost ushers in another 1970's. Oh joy! Paul Volcker can you hear me?
Yes. LE Protective Associations can do that. Good thing in this case.

Senator Allen from Virginia made good comments against amnesty. Too bad that Senator Warner, also Republican from Virginia, is all for it - that the same senator who was briefly married to Elizabeth Taylor. He is a mean-spirited guy.
Are these agents Democratic voters?
