[My Favorite Headache]

Press conference starts at 2:45 EST....get the prilosec out...we are going to need it.

[BureaucratusMaximus]

This is a Republican forum.

I must have been out sick...didn't get that memo.

[adam_az]

weird why didn't rush/clearchannel cut in??

[MineralMan]

"You won't even taste the Kool-Aid, trust me."

KoolAid, KoolAid, Tastes Great!

[Weimdog]

"The military has better things to do than play border guard."

Kinda like Korea and Kosovo?

[SaveTheChief]

man... here it comes

[My Favorite Headache]

Bush speaking in Spanglish kinda tone already...nice flair!

[Age of Reason]

maybe it's the pay [that stops American citizens from picking fruit]

If illegals didn't undercut American citizens, picking fruit would pay a living wage.

maybe it's the back breaking nature of the work.

Americans work underground in coal mines under threat of cave-ins and poison gas.

Americans work as garbage men, outdoors in all kinds of weather, each man lifting several tons of stinking, leaking garbage every day.

Americans work in sewers and Americans work hundreds of feet in the air walking steel beams.

And you think Americans won't pick fruit?

There is no job American Citizens won't do

[Neets]

So many complaints..so little time.

[adam_az]

is there a live url??

[Miss Marple]

Over the generations we have received optimistic pepople from every part of the world. By tradition and by history we are a welcoming society. Every generation of immigrants has reaffirmed assimilating newcomers.

Between 1891 and 1920 we received 18 million men and women from other nations. The children of immigrants helped liberate the land of their ancestors.

[My Favorite Headache]

My stomach is in knots over this

[dben]

The Mexican headline reads '8 Million Mexicans to get Visas'

[Rebelbase]

"Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism republicans on the web." Is that what you are referring to?

[Steel Wolf]

The U.S. Military: We only guard other people's borders!

[primeval patriot]

14% of nations workforce is foreign born

[RightWhale]

I don't see many Americans picking fruit.

Neither do I. But then, it's 20 below zero in January in Fairbanks, so it's not a total surprise.

[Constitution Day]

BOHICA bump.

[Miss Marple]

I am typing as he speaks. He said a few words of Spanish to a couple of people. Lighten up Frances. He is speaking in English.

[Southack]

"I am pissed...and rightly so."

Rightly so? Check yourself.

Are you upset because of what the media has been claiming that Bush will say, or have you heard some specific comment in President Bush's speech today that has upset you?

The difference is not subtle. In one case, you've simply been manipulated. In the other, you would be justified.

...but he only just now started speaking...

[ohioWfan]

Just to correct your lousy attempt at humor, the President only spoke Spanish to introduce the Ambassador from Mexico.

I guess you hear what you WANT to hear, eh?
