Typical of this administration. Bush tried to sneak through 245(i) amnesty 6 months after 9/11 in the dead of night through the suspension of rules process in the House. Tancredo made them all vote so we could see who was selling out the country.
They'll try to push this absurdity onto us as well when they think no one's looking.
Bush will get my vote, but he let me down on CFR, he should never have signed CFR with the concerns he had with it's Constitutionality. Thankfully CFR can be revisited by Congress and I hope they do so ASAP
Have a Merry Christmas ALL, I'm off to the shower and then to my brothers for a Christmas Eve drink fest, I'll check in sometime around 2 AM Est.
Till then.... Stay Safe & God Bless
Just before the Presidential elections in 2000 then President Clinton sent tens (more likely hundreds) of thousands letters to Illegal infiltrator non-citizens in California that had a tear off portion that was "proof" that the person with it was registered to vote.
If by some meathod all the illegal votes were not counted, and the Military ones that were denied being counted were counted Bush , would have won by a landslide.
No it ain't amnesty but Social Security, SSI, Section 8, WIC, health care, universities, and lots more! won't know the difference.
IMO the problem is the corrupt Mexican government. When only half of the ILLEGALS are Mexican, why pick on them? It's their corrupt government's policy to dump millions of unwanted citizens here, demand we give them citizenship rights plus, and demand that the ILLEGALS remain loyal to Mexico.
Though it places the ILLEGAL aliens squarely in the middle something like this (below) may convey the attitude of many Americans -- not only about the need for neighbor Mexico's absolute support for our war to defend against radical Islam but also our reluctance to continue footing the bill for Mexico's responsibilities.
The corrupt government of Mexico should be made to understand that their days are numbered. It's time for reform. Then those Mexicans who wish can migrate as others have done in the past, to become Americans. But, alas, Vicente Fox is virtually a co-president to his good buddy President Bush.
"Mexico, the United States and Iraq Time to be counted," Feb 27th 2003, The Economist (print edition - Mexico City)
"One American diplomat has given warning that a Mexican No could 'stir up feelings' against Mexicans in the United States. He draws comparisons with the Japanese-Americans who were interned after 1941, and wonders whether Mexico 'wants to stir the fires of jingoism during a war'". [end quote]
Others have said the diplomats who were visiting Mexico City at the time were Marc Grossman and Kim Holmes.
I'd rather send directly to Mexico the estimated 4.6 billion dollars a year that California spends to support ILLEGALS. You know, that figures out to about $1,000 a piece, more or less.-- no one knows just how many ILLEGALS are here. That figure is state budgeted money only.
Of course, the corrupt ruling class of Mexico would steal the money.
I agree, but it was Bush and Mitch McConnell who worked the deal to challenge portions of CFR and gamble that the SCOTUS would repeal the 1st Ammendment concerns.
I must admit that I thought the SCOTUS would trike those portions down, and understtod why he signed it. But obviously that was a bug mistake and CFR must be revisted
Well I've read the whole article from the beginning and it is what Bush wants, he's wanted to amnesty all illegal aliens since he got into office. He's now under the belief he can twist Congress's arm and get whatever he wants, and the passage of CFR and the Medicare bills provide enough reason for him to think that.
He will pressure Congress to go along with this lunacy, and while you may be right they will not, then again they may unless we the voters speak loud and clear: "read my lips, no new amnesties."
No, what we need to do is deport them.
No an amnesty would not mean the end of the world, not even close. But the old Republic as we've known it would be gone forever as millions upon millions poured in. Thanks to the family chain the amnestied alone could bring in God knows how many of their relatives. This is very bad news to hear that Bush has set his sights on such crappy legislation. But the fight has just begun.
Merry Christmas
Same to you and to everyone.
We'll get more votes here in California on Prop 187 II than George Bush will get for president.
I will vote for Republican Congressman Wally Herger. He supports Congressman Tancredo.
President Bush does great "over there" defending our sovereignty (with a little help from the military) but here he seems to just not give a darn. Cheap labor and votes! Who could ask for anything more?! Uh.. Americans?
BTW to All, Mr. Rove, et al. ought to view these threads as inexpensive focus groups. So, as such, Mr. Rove, et al. need our opinions NOW not after they submitted their proposals to Congress.
Merry Christmas Saber and ALL ! ...
