I voted for George W. Bush both times and campaigned for him.
And I think hes a great president.
In some ways.
But in some others, hes a failure as a president. Like this statistic: Since George W. Bush became president the number of illegal aliens in the United States has increased by almost 25 percent.
In hard numbers, more illegals overwhelmingly from Mexico have come into the United States during the first four years of the Bush Administration than there are legal Americans living in Alaska.
Or Arkansas.
Ditto for Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming.
Enough Bush illegals have snuck into our country to populate a medium-sized state.
The Bush record is 150,000 Americans in Iraq and almost 3 million illegals in America. In terms of true national defense, how does he stand?
By the end of his second term, it is expected he will have allowed the number of illegal aliens in this country to have grown by half.
Or more. Possibly quite a bit more. Because instead of talking about a crackdown on our southern border, hes talking about an amnesty and looser immigration rules.
George W. Bush has been the catalyst for illegal immigration primarily from Mexico into the United States. Consequently, he has been part of a problem which is a greater threat to the stability and security of the United States than terrorism ever thought of being.
And that is all the more troubling considering the fact that he, as president and commander in chief, has the ultimate responsibility to protect this nation. It is a responsibility, in this regard, in which he is utterly failing.
The future of this nation, particularly in the Southwest and West, has been unalterably changed for the worse because George W. Bush has been asleep at the switch.
Weve stopped illegal immigration into Iraq from Syria and Iran, but weve done nothing to stop illegal immigration into the United States from Mexico.
It is almost an act of treason. He has acted as an odd modern-day Quisling. We are being invaded and he is siding with the invaders.
Again, Im a Bush supporter. Im Republican to the bone. The Democrats would be worse, but this Republican is bad enough. The impact of Bushs immigration policy is catastrophic.
It is incomprehensible that this president should so clearly and resolutely understand and respond to the threat of foreign terrorism, but ignore and reject and ultimately be complicit in the threat of foreign invasion via illegal immigration.
Last week was a good example.
In a meeting in Waco, Texas, President Bush denounced the Minuteman Project and called its members vigilantes.
Which is a direct quote from prior statements of the Mexican government.
What is the Minuteman Project? A volunteer effort, through the month of April, to patrol a stretch of the Arizona border with Mexico. Regular Americans, most of them taking vacation from their jobs, will ride, walk or fly along the border. When they spot people crossing into the United States from Mexico, they will alert the Border Patrol.
They wont stop the people. They wont harass them. They wont have any contact with them whatsoever. They will merely report their presence to the authorities. Its like a Neighborhood Watch, except that volunteers will carry food and water in case they find injured illegals who have been overcome by the desert heat.
All these people are doing is watching and reporting.
And the Mexican president has attacked them for that. Sadly, so has the American president. The Administration has chosen to ignore our southern border, and it seems angered that the citizenry hasnt.
The policy of the Mexican government is clearly to foster and encourage illegal immigration into the United States. Sadly, the policy of the American government seems to be exactly the same. Words may be different, but deeds arent.
And the daily degradation and ruin of the United States is the consequence. This pattern of illegal immigration is nothing other than an invasion of territory and a pillaging of wealth. America has become Mexicos welfare system and Mexicos dumping ground. The people Mexico is too backward to employ or care for are herded north to become somebody elses problem and the foot soldiers in a cultural conquest.
They lower our wages, live off our welfare, weaken our society and send our money south.
They are a threat to national security and survival.
And George W. Bush is doing everything he can to encourage it. He showed that last week when he stood by the Mexican president and against the American people.
The people of the Minuteman Project and the millions of other Americans who are alarmed by what is going on are not vigilantes. And they are not the problem.
The president is.
And so is the silent Congress which likewise turns a blind or complicit eye to this crime against our laws.
I am a Republican. And I have voted for Republicans and worked for Republicans and donated to Republicans. The voters of America have given Republicans the power to lead and protect our nation.
And this is what we get.
With Republicans in charge of the Senate and the House and the presidency, we have the Mexicans in charge of the border.
Bump, and bookmark
It's real simple. If you want to engage in Wilsonian crusades and out-Democrat the Democrats on Medicare, agriculture, and education, but you don't want to raise taxes, then you need to do two things: (1) inflate the money supply; and (2) expand the tax base.
BUMP
Originally, I held great hope that a solution
could be cemented between the two leaders, but
that was dashed on 9/12 when POTUS did not seal
both of our borders.
Then illegal immigration can't possibly be an important issue to you...
bump yo your post^
Correction. He transformed what the reporter wrote to fit his conjecture. That is not informative. That is disingenuous.
But I am impressed that he is important enough to have a social secretary.

It's a big step on the road to Balkanization, and CW2.

We live in interesting times, indeed.
I don't think that the combination of a totalitarian police state with the invasion of illiterate barbarians has ever occured simeltaneously. Usually the tyrants either lock down the borders (to keep folks in), or the barbarians prevail and install their own regime.
If nothing else, it will create a "bad guy rich" environment.
Our present "leaders" who are allowing this barbarian invasion will be responsible 100% for the outcome.
U.S. Constitution Article 4 Section 4:
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,
Too many of them are already probably here to avoid that.
U.S. Constitution Article 4 Section 4: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion;"
The powers that be seem to take that section of the Constitution about as seriously as they take the rest of it.
I agree, but the more that come, the worse it will be.
