Bush's Ridiculous Speech About Immigration Reform

RightWingNews ^

Sorry, there are no law-abiding illegal aliens.

You are confusing anti-illegal immigration with anti-immigration. I am not opposed to immigration; I am opposed to ILLEGAL immigration.

As for "judging by the good, not the bad," I'm afraid we'd have no laws at all in that case. No need for them.

[BushisTheMan]

Don't think so...I'll be too busy praying at the mosque.

[He'sComingBack!]

Delta-Tango, you are RIGHT ON!!! What happened yesterday on talk-radio accross the nation was EXACTLY what an article in the last issue of National Review pedicted. That is, Pres. Bush would give a pro-immigration speech and that PUNDITS and CONSERVATIVE TALK SHOW HOSTS would all hail it as WONDERFUL NEWS!!! Michael Medved, Larry Elder and Rush were all gawking yesterday about about Pres. Bush's courage and this great policy improvement. Give me a break!!! And of course, political hack and spokes-hole David Dryer (who I once respected until he was ALWAYS on the radio defending every Bush policy!) was falling all over himself about this great, bold immigration policy improvement. Shame on them all!!!

General thoughts here to all:

So do the Bush-Rove Amnistia rules apply ONLY to illegal immigrants already on US soil up to and including 7 January 2004? Up to and including the date of the passage in Congress? Up to and including WHEN?

I.e., illegals that stream in tomorrow, or next month, or a year from now, next year, or during the Dean Administration, whenever, etc. etc., (since we are not going to close the border overnight), are THEY ALSO eligible for Bush-Rove's plans?

If not, then How the Hell we will know when an Illegal Came Into the USA, since they are "undocumented?"

How the hell can you match "willing workers" with "willing employees" when the "willing worker" needs a drivers license to buy a car to drive to work...and drivers licenses are not to be given to non-legal residents?

For a legal immigrant right now in the US going through processing and additional interviews with INS in order to be legal, get Green Cards, he/she may be called upon to present even more federal documents or pay more fees. These are documents, background checks and processing fees NOT required of ILLEGAL ALIENS. And yet the President lied to us and said "those who came illegally should have no more benefit over those that came through legally." There's a blaring inequity right there!

There is a WHOLE SLEW of things this retarded crew in the White House never considered before they went ahead with this.

"Employers must not hire undocumented aliens or temporary workers whose legal status has expired. They must report to the government the temporary workers they hire and who leave their employ so that we can keep track of people in the program and better enforce our immigration laws. There must be strong workplace enforcement with tough penalties for anyone -- for any employer violating these laws."

...and that question is, "why can't we go ahead and do that NOW"? If we did this today, most of the people who are here illegally would go home because they couldn't find jobs. So why do we have to wait until after we've made all these illegals who don't respect our laws into citizens to do this?

bump for a truism so simple, you weep at the knowledge that some continue to overlook it.

bump ;)

President Bush is turning out to be a country club, Rockefeller Republican. He has done well on the tax cut and the war on terror. That's it. He hasn't stood behind the federal bench nominees because he is only giving lip service to the we conservatives. He doesn't want a conservative bench anymore than does his pal Ted Kennedy.
The President has shown his colors on the immigration front. He has put himself into the came catagory as the nine dwarfs from the Democrat party seeking their party's nomination. What a shameful fraud he has become. He is Nelson Rockefeller with a Texas drawl.

How do those boots taste? (The PG version of my first thought).

[swarthyguy]

Does drinking Sake improve the clarity of your thinking?

Yes, there are no cutoff or optin or optout dates.

Very good points.

Beyond belief!!

so many of us warned of this four years ago about Bush on FREE REPUBLIC, that he would turn out to be one big RINO with a Conservative veneer. yep, "compassionate" conservatism. and he sure hasn't disappointed us in that regard. all the while, all we got from Bushbots at that time was "you gotta vote GOP! you gotta vote GOP! you gotta vote GOP!"

balderdash (for next time). we don't gotta do anything, 'cept vote patriot and vote our consciences, next time out.

i for one will not soon forget 7 January 2004

And the names they would call you, too! Sometimes it's best to just keep your opinions to yourself around here.

[fightu4it]

I've got a proposal for Limbaugh and Hannity.

The next time you have a caller on the phone who thinks it's alright for these illegals to keep comming into this country, interrupt them after they have spoken only a few words. Then ask them to hang on while you take a call that just came in. When you return to them, repeat what you have just done and keep interrupting them and asking them to hang on while you take a call that just came in.

When they finally get pissed off and start letting you know about it, you can simply say "oh, I didn't think you had a problem with people jumping to the front of the line."

I wonder how we find the funding to enforce our current immigration laws? How much would cost to protect the thousand of miles of boarders between Canada and Mexico and all of our coastline?

I'm also curious as to how the American farming industry would recover from the major wage increases it would face when it had to pay average citizens higher wages plus benefits. Then of course I'm hoping someone could explain to me what would prevent the average consumer from turning away from expensive American produce when they could just purchase produce grown from some other country that would cost 1/3 to 1/2 less than the American grown produce????
