Well since you are so clairvoyant, maybe you should take over for Ms. Cleo.

This puts immigration into the debate, call your congressman, I'm not stopping you, but have the debate once and for all. This issue can't be swept under the rug and and you can't wiggle your nose and all the illegals are gone. It ain't that easy, and the less you depend on your knee jerk reactions, the more you maybe can understand that this is a difficult and complex issue.

No. He evidently got clued in to the substance of Bush's proposal and revamped his initial kneejerk reaction.

Nope,

He is spot on.

Bush believes a man is defined by his actions, not his words. This is not a 4 yr old problem, nor is it one he has been working on short term. He has been working on it for 12 yrs. It sticks in his craw.

And what an icky issue to take on. Immigration is a hot potato anyway if you are conservative. But this has runners prying into Homeland Security, Social Security, Welfare Reform, Racism, and Class Warfare.

And still he takes it on! Why?

Well it is a major issue that's why, and when he a sees problem status quo is just not an option.

And he will get my vote for it, here's why.

Despite the hype stories about Social Security fraud, and abuse of the medical system, the majority of this issue can be summed in a brush pile. The one behind my house.

You see it is about a few truckloads worth of 2 yrs. accumulation of yard debris thrown off by my acre of landscaping and 20 trees. All I needed was to have it loaded up into a trailer so I can haul it. No room for machinery, not even a bobcat, so it needed to be done by hand.

I took a long look at it and decided this legal american wasn't going to do it. So I went to the next best legal worker. Some neighborhood kids. Offered them $8 an hour. Well I guess X-Box is a lot more fun, they quit the job afer an hour.

So I turned to a temp labor joint, a call, paperwork and $12.50 an hour later and I had a legal citizen, but none to excited about the work. After working a bit I could see he would not finish in one day. Many breaks, few trips to the trailer. Fired.

I gave up on legal work and went down to the local "corner" where illegals hang out for a job. I told the gentleman what I had to do and offered $8 an hour. Nothing of it. He preferred to wait, turns out the rate that day was going to be $15.00 an hour.

I aggreed he was done in 6 hours. I paid him $100 even for the hard work.

He wasn't here to steal a job from some american. He got a job no american would do properly! Not only that but demand was so high for his services he could bring $15.00 an hour.

It is very prevelant in the Southwest, but really it is nationwide, from Minnesota to well... Texas.

Maybe speeding up naturalization, or reducing regulation, or tort reform, or protectionism, or erecting a 13 foot wall on the Rio Grande might be more palatable options to us right wingers. But politically they will never happen. The Bush proposal is a step to the right, and a step in the right direction.

Don't forget the Reagan Amnesty. Bringing productive, hardworkers with a good value system to the U.S. is a Republican Value! These workers are everything your average Joe Conservative is. Independant, Sweat Equity, Family Values, Meritocracy, God Fearing, and he probably roots for the Cowboys too!

Our party should welcome them!

For Pete's Sake we are the ones hiring them to begin with, they may as well vote republican!

"Rush is definately trying to pull damage control for Pres Bush here."

Did you actually absorb any of the transcript? Rush is 110% right. It just took him 24 hours to come around to this position.

Why haven't you and the hundreds of other whiners gotten it? It looks like the DU moved in here. ;^)

I must admit however, that if Bubba had pulled this in his 4th year, I'd be foaming at the mouth.

I don't see this as damage control. I do see this as being perceptive about reality.

Rush is spot on about this being only a proposal. If this were clinton amnesty would have been by executive fiat.
