Press conference starts at 2:45 EST....get the prilosec out...we are going to need it.
The president of the United States, George W. Bush, will present a plan of migration reform which upon approval of the Congress of the country will give temporary employment for three years to some eight million undocumented workers. The great majority of these are of mexican origin.
To the surprise of the hispanic community in the United States and the Congress and to the pleasure and satisfaction of the government of Vicente Fox the ambitious Bush project will benefit the White House's estimated eight million undocumenteds.....
"We have been analyzing the importance of covering an economic necessity. Immigration laws ought to cover our economic needs, if the employers are offering jobs to Americans that they don't want, then we have the obligation to offer them to citizens of a[nother] country that want them" said Scott McClellan, Bush's spokesman....
In a special White House ceremony in which he will be surrounded by 150 Hispanic Community leaders of Republican affiliation (primary ethnic minority in the United States consisting of 38.8 million persons, 60 per cent of which are mexican or of mexican origin), Bush will announce this immigration law reform project, which has been the dream of Vicente Fox: an integral migratory reform to regularize the status of more than three million undocumented mexicans who live and work in the United States for several years. "President Bush has retained his opposition to a general amnesty", according to the White House spokesman....
Bush "will speak of the necessity of matching the desires of employers with workers. This is a discussion which he initiated in February 2001 with President Fox, when President Bush visited Mexico (in San Cristobal, Guanajuato) and forms part of our efforts to make a more orderly, secure and humane migration policy" according to McClellan....
Most wanted criminals in the early 20th century in NYC were probably Italians and other immigrants. So what? Does that mean the US should have ceased immgration from Europe?
Well, if he said so, it must be true.
Uh could you please show me where Americans are going to Mexico and buying slaves?
Sheesh they want to work here, maybe instead of incessant bitching you could try to export the free market ideal to Mexico.
Agreed...I experienced this first hand just recently when trying to assist a friend's boyfriend because he was unemployed. He wanted me to buy him tools so that he could get a construction job (I had already been paying their rent so they wouldn't become homeless, they owe me about $2000). Since there was a brand new Walmart across the street, I told him to go apply for a stocker job and then he could support him and her while getting his tools at an employee discount as well as getting benefits for them in the meantime. His reply was "I build Walmarts, I don't work in them". Enough said...I told him I was not giving him anything. Now they are homeless...oh, well...
I hate bigotry.
It is ugly every time - no matter who is its subject or its author.
And will wait and learn the truth of Bushs plan in the weeks ahead, instead of relying on Closet Bush haters, 3rd party recruiters, and DU spies to to intepret or misinterpret what he is trying to do.
Not to say anyone who disagrees is one of the above, but there are plenty here who are imo.
I'm very impressed with your logic in this matter. Kudos to you!
¿Qué? Bush is disregarding our immigration laws. Illegals are here because they came here illegally, breaking our laws. And, instead of the deportation they deserve, Bush is giving them documentation and legal status. Who says crime don't pay?
When did being conservative become a matter being "too far right?"
