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.
I regret deeply, campaigning for bush in 04. Whoever runs in the third party this time gets my vote. pubs & dems both worthless hacks.

It seems nobody but McKennedy is buying the Bush amnesty
I liked the border patrol, right until I learned that they are unionized.
Huh. Is it appropriate for these agents to criticise the President like this?
"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?

I've been wondering about this myself. Why would anyone allow huge floods of illegal migrants squatting in their own country? What's the advantage? What's the motive? The obvious lessons from history demonstrate the large numbers of people moving into your country without some sort of official policy of assimilation leads to the destruction of the original culture. I don't have any answers at all for this. It doesn't even make sense in a short-term manner. All I know is that as soon as an unassimilated mass of people squat on your land, there is war, disruption, and, in many cases, takeover of the original culture. I'm sitting here thinking about the Carthaginian takeover of Spain... followed by the Romans moving in... followed by the Visigoths and the other "barbarian tribes"... followed by the Arabs... you can't just allow people to move into your country as squatters and expect nothing to happen. In this case, the Leftists are correct in their appeal to white guilt - the takeover of North America by the West was certainly the product of unassimilated people simply moving in for jobs, land, and opportunity. (This is different from what happened to my grandparents, who were obligated to learn about the United States, speak English, and were pressured in many ways to become part of their new country.) I also think about the Roman approach to citizenship. When citizenship (in the Roman manner) was hard to get, it was valuable and appreciated.
I just don't understand what appears to be cultural suicide by my leaders of both parties. I don't get it.
Like we didn't know it was a Trojan horse from the get go.
Border Patrol Agents Warn: Bush Plan is a Trojan Horse
I just got up and am still a bit groggy, but I've reread the article several times, and do not get that the Border Patrol is saying anything different than the majority of Freepers have been saying. They are against amnesty in any way, shape or form. I came away with the slant that they are seeing a massive increase in illegals entering the US since POTUS's Monday speech, and want more power to stem the flow. Apply pressure to The Hill to say NO to the temporary worker clause, and arrest employers who hire illegals.
The border agent is probably one of the many DU trolls and disruptors posting here lately, and is obviously a Bush-hater.
Sadly, these days I must add a "/sarcasm" to distinguish this from an authentic response.
