We are a nation of laws.
OK, I'll bite, As you know, every issue thats been important to this president, he has taken his message on the road and asked the American people to support his agenda. Very much like he did with his Tax Cuts, Energy, War on Terror, Education, Forest Fire Protection, and drilling for oil in ANWAR.
Can you post a single road trip where Bush "pushed" for 245(i) ?, and please post the quotes, I've seen the official White House statement praising Congress for addressing the issue of 245(i).
I understand you live for these debates, and enjoy making condescending remarks to those who don't share your negativity, but believe it or not, you don't know what this administration will propose, and you can site your hypothetical predictions all you want, I will wait for the facts
Good question.
Agreed. And it will happen, the ACLU et al would be screaming discrimination, and would sue for equal access to all jobs in the workplace. Construction, assembly line, delivery jobs and I'm not talking pizza. Bush will alienate every blue color worker out there. I can't believe he is pushing this before the election.
It doesn't matter anymore. It's party over country, it's party over law, it's party over the constitution.
I hope he doesn't legalize these guys --- let them keep coming and going as they please. Some of these criminal gangs are getting very bold. They're real nuisances:
Anapra gang linked to thefts

Traveling under the cover of darkness and using a series of arroyos, desert trails and drainage ditches nicknamed the "highway," groups of burglars from Anapra, Mexico, have struck in West El Paso in recent months, police said.
The burglaries have largely stopped since increased efforts by the Border Patrol, but police continue to find undocumented crossers committing crimes in parts of El Paso near the border.
Police intelligence suspected some of the West Side burglars possibly belonged to a violent Anapra street gang involved in the beating of two FBI agents during a 2002 train robbery sting in Sunland Park, according to the November newsletter of the police Westside Regional Command Center.
"They told us they were here (in El Paso) for (the) purpose to score some cash," said Officer Henry Slack Jr. of the West Side Tactical Gang and Special Ops Unit, which interrogated some of the burglars who were arrested.
The pattern began on an October night when eight cars were burglarized in the 300 block of Waymore, said police, who found a trail of dropped stolen goods, such as CDs, leading from the neighborhood to arroyos and trails on hills between it and Interstate 10. Fingerprints at the scene were linked to a wanted Anapra man.
Police suspect the burglars used the Buena Vista bridge -- a bridge over Interstate 10 that "leads to nowhere" -- and drainage tunnels to cross over or under the highway.
The burglars were believed to have been on the U.S. side for six hours after crossing on the western edge of Mount Cristo Rey, where a border fence ends, according to police intelligence and analysis units.
On Nov. 27, three undocumented crossers were caught trying to steal electronic equipment and musical instruments from Roberts Elementary School in the Upper Valley, police said.
And in an unrelated case Dec. 5, police arrested three undocumented teenagers breaking into parked cars in the Lower Valley.

Whew! thank God! I thought you were going to say we are a nation of cynics!
So what's your way on things... gives millions of illegal aliens amnesty?
You might want to take a look at the polls, about 70 to 80% wants illegals deported and the laws enforced. If Bush were to do that he would make lots of people very happy. It's not just conservatives upset about massive illegal immigration.
A breath of fresh air my friend...
Poor little us, all forlorn, dejected, disenfranchised, victimized, ignored, oppressed, kicked and spat upon, were taken over by some foreign occupation army, sitting on the Washingtonian throne like the Vandals from Mexico City, starting another Dark Age in North America, where we have no political voice, no political will, no rights, no freedoms, humbled and enslaved by our new masters, all hopeless and despairing and utterly helpless we are as we eat the dirt they shove into our faces.
The system ensures that European immigration remains at a trickle compared to the Asian and Hispanic floods.
It's probably going to be a Bush "free for all" for the entire globe. I mean how could Bush only offer this to Mexicans only? That's not fair, so I'm sure the "plan" is to just speed up the incremental distruction of our sovereignty and offer up the country to who ever can get here.
We are a nation of laws.
How did you arrive here, Joe?
Legally. How about you?
