Email/Letter writing campaign against The President's plan for immigration
Myself

Posted on 01/07/2004 7:45:17 PM PST by Remember_Salamis

Has anybody started an email/letter writing campaign in response to the president's proposed immigration initiative?

We need to show the president that he can't take advantage of his conservative base.

"tom tancredo looks like the only man in congress willing to fight illegal immigration.

There are at least 50. I don't think it will pass.

LOL! The housing market NEVER dropped, the interests were lowered to fuel corporate expansion, lower mortgage rates were just a side-effect. The Internetr self-destructed because companies lacking any real assets were being traded at a hundred times their worth, a slight adjustment of less than two years is hardly a "failed economy".

"A failure of thousands of businesses causing unemployment to reach a record high"

You've been buying into the DNC's crap for too long.

The rate of unemployment in the U.S. stood at nearly 10% in 1982, the absolute highest rate during the Bush administration has been 6%, hardly a "record high".

Get your facts straight.

You have to see the humorous side to all of this.

We have an ineffective and weak willed Republican majority that can't even put through judicial nominees.

You have a very vocal and outraged elements being whipped into a frenzy by the likes of pat buchanan all screaming to prevent this.

On the flip side you have a platoon of Democratic nominees all deciding that this program isn't enough and a Democratic minority that will do everything they can to push this toward amnesty.

It is very likely that in the end we will end up with...the status quo.

I have said for years to my children " There is never a RIGHT reason to do something WRONG". Illegally crossing our border, for a Mexican or a Iraqi is WRONG anyway you cut it!!! To excuse it is ALSO WRONG. I love DUBYA, but am not afraid to say " YOU ARE WRONG THIS TIME PREZ.......REALLY WRONG!!!"

Have you ever been pulled over for a traffic violation? Were you mad when/if the cop let you go without a ticket?

Check my post at 515 and tell me how it mafes sense for the INS to round up 10 million illegals with less than 1500 field agents.

Those of us advocating a more aggressive role for the INS don't expect the agency to step up its enforcement with only 1,500 agents. Given the INS's important role and the size of the United States, it's ludicrous -- but I fear, not unintentional -- that it's so woefully undertaffed.

I have only been stopped twice in my entire 45 years of driving time. Both times, I was wrong. Both times I got a ticket. If the rules are wrong, change them. Make a statement to outsiders that they are free to come across the borders at will. Give them the free ride. But IF we DO have a law that is being continually broken, it is of no use and void.....like telling our children , no dessert until all the veggies are gone, and then throwing the veggies away each night as they endulge in their ice cream. Hypocritical at best.

I agree. That's what GWB is attempting to change. No different than a cop letting someone go for speeding. Speeding laws are still good, but radically totalitarian enforcement of them (i.e. arresting cops who don't write the ticket, etc.) are not necessary. Same thing here.

"is" not necessary, I should say.

I sent a letter of encouragement to the President and another check to the RNC.
