I think you are right about it. He really never has talked about illegal immigration until these past two days. I always wondered why since it is a hot button topic for conservatives.

Time will prove the wisdom of the Bush policy.

The reality is the illegals are here, and have been for years. Many are the guests of Americans like you.

What Bush needs is political cover to nail those illegals to the wall who will not officially reveal their existence and play by the rules.

By giving them a fair chance to provide the best of their presence, the willingness to work at entry-level jobs that Americans shun, and removing the worst, which is their unregistered and illegal status, Bush is once again achieving the heroic and legendary.

Freepers will embrace this policy with time.

I'll be patient in my counter-criticism because I believe emotions and not common sense are guiding the initial reaction.

Now you understand!

Bush will deal with the illegals and those who fail to register, HARSHLY.

After the enactment of this policy, any remaining illegals will be considered to represent a potential security threat to our great nation.

Here's the plan, but remember, Bush inherited this mess, so while it isn't perfect, it is a great beginning. Follow along:

1. Provide a means for those aliens already working in legitimate jobs for American companies or private families, and who truly deserve an American future, to properly obey and respect our laws, and let us also be kind to their families too. These are the high-profile sympathy cases that could destroy the GOP presidency if lumped in with the worst of the aliens. These hard luck stories will otherwise fill the airwaves, and many GOP and independent voters will feel the legitimate pain and suffering of such refugees. Call them the "Elians";
2. Provide a more efficient means for the next wave of good people to apply legitimately for access before they too become illegals. Call them the "Pre-emptives";
3. Bear down HARD on the remaining illegals, and begin to treat them as that: ILLEGAL. Without remorse and without shame, get rid of them. Call them the "Osamas". For the first time, given the cover of a legitimate and efficient access pathway, THERE WILL BE NO EXCUSE FOR THEIR BEHAVIOR.

So, keep the Elians, work with the Pre-Emptives, and dump the Osamas.

Come now, Freepers, you can get there, if you try.

I called my representative here in GA (Isakson) and spoke with a staffer to express my displeasure with President Bush. I told him that Bush has lost my vote unless the house Republicans stop this insane amnesty. The staffer I spoke with mentioned that their office was getting a lot of calls like mine and that there was a lot of anger out there.

Fellow conservatives, don't get discouraged - keep calling and writing until they get the picture. We conservatives put George Bush in the White House, and this Novemeber we can take him right back out.

"The staffer I spoke with mentioned that their office was getting a lot of calls like mine and that there was a lot of anger out there."

I read in an article off Google News that other Congressman's phones were ringing off the hook from their constituents.

I'm sure that's due to my post - ;)

PS: Did Isakson say how he was going to vote on this issue?

''I'm not saying make them citizens,'' Ridge said. ``They violated our laws to get here. You don't reward that kind of conduct.''

Yes. INstead we'll just give them unlimited three year citizenship renewable forever. AMNESTY by another name.

What possible reason is there to believe this? He's chosen not to enforce immigration laws for three years. Why would he start?

Ridge and Bush are both working hard to get their new word definitions into the dictionary.
