I aim to please.
Of course, Republicans aren't the only ones influenced by big businessmen. *coughSoroscough*
Why isnt the War on Terror important to W any more?
It could be said that sleazy George has already given amnesty to every illegal Mexican in the United States through his endorsement of the matricula card. Mexican illegal aliens with a matricula card have really gotten a covert amnesty and are pretty much good to go here in the USA. His latest overt amnesty, really just gives them the added bonus of a worry-free crossing of the U.S. "border".

Nope, no pattern there . . move along, move along.
Welcome the poor gardener, Welcome the poor gardener...
I honestly don't think he cars about his job. He is just keeping promises made.
I just moved from an apartment and neighborhood that, ten years ago was a reasonably safe place to live. Now, every summer when the window units are cranking and the anchor babies are out of school, the neighborhood is swarmed with car burglars. Our apartment installed a camera in the garage: every time someone was videotaped in the garage nosing around, it was a Latino kid; when a neighbor chased some kids out of the garage, it was Latino kids; when kids are seen breaking into cars IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, it's Latino kids. They're like a plague of locusts.
That's why the only solution is a total sealing off of the borders. Don't let ANYONE in this country from ANYWHERE for at least a couple decades. That should be sufficient time to Americanize the ones that are already here. If we don't, our culture will be completely destroyed within a generation. And considering the effect that open borders has on national security (see 9/11), we might not have much of a country left either.
Immigration
We affirm the integrity of the international borders of the United States and the Constitutional authority and right of the federal government to guard and to protect those borders, including the regulation of the numbers and of the qualifications of immigrants into the country.
Each year some 972,000 legal immigrants and hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens enter the United States. These immigrants — including illegal aliens — have been made eligible for various kinds of public assistance, including housing, education, Social Security, and legal services. This unconstitutional drain on the federal Treasury is having a severe and adverse impact on our economy, increasing the cost of government at federal, state, and local levels, adding to the tax burden, and stressing the fabric of society. The mass importation of people with low standards of living threatens the wage structure of the American worker and the labor balance in our country.
We favor a moratorium on immigration to the United States, except in individual hardship cases or in other individual special circumstances, until the availability of all federal subsidies and assistance be discontinued.
We also insist that every individual group and/or private agency which requests the admission of an immigrant to the U.S., on whatever basis, be required to commit legally to provide housing and sustenance for such immigrants, bear full responsibility for the economic independence of the immigrants, and post appropriate bonds to seal such covenants.
The Constitution Party demands that the federal government restore immigration policies based on the practice that potential immigrants will be disqualified from admission to the U.S. if, on the grounds of health, criminality, morals, or financial dependence, they would impose an improper burden on the United States, any state, or any citizen of the United States.
We oppose the provision of welfare subsidies and other taxpayer-supported benefits to illegal aliens, and reject the practice of bestowing U.S. citizenship on children born to illegal alien parents while in this country.
We oppose any extension of amnesty to illegal aliens. We oppose bilingual ballots. We insist that those who wish to take part in the electoral process and governance of this nation be required to read and comprehend basic English as a precondition of citizenship. We support English as the official language for all governmental business by the United States.
How the heck can I acchieve "Illegal Alien" status??? ;-))

The toughest job is to unite the country. If that means giving T.Kennedy and the democrats nearly everything they want...well it's gotta be done. The U.N. is "good at writing Constitutions." And "our society is a good, solid democracy because of a good, solid media."
FOXNews.com - Politics - <b>Raw Data:</b> Text of Bush Interview
HUME: When you look at other presidents, apart from your dad, sort of identify with them, or think about what they would have done? Who comes to your mind often?
BUSH: Lincoln, who I've got on the wall over there. The reason why is because I can't imagine what it would be to be president when the United States at war with yourself. People killing each other here in America on a massive basis. Just can't imagine what it would be.
HUME: Have you asked yourself, what he might have done, or how he might have handled the situation?
BUSH: Well, I think -- he inspires me because from this way, throughout his entire presidency he thought about the United States of America, and the toughest job for a president is to unite the country, to achieve objectives, and I believe the president must set big objectives. And I set big objectives. And -- and yet, when you read the other presidents' writings, they always complain about the press and the fact that Washington is too political, it's not very civil. In other words, it's a hard task to unite the country. Lincoln kept it united. And so -- he is inspiring, from that sense. I mean, he helps me recognize that one of my most important jobs is to set big goals and unite the nation to achieve them.
HUME: The refrain you keep hearing from others is a larger role for the U.N. You have consistently spoken of a vital role...
BUSH: A vital role, right.
HUME: ... a vital role for the U.N. Would you be willing to grant a larger role to the U.N. in the political developments there to make way for a resolution?
BUSH: Well, for example -- I'm not so sure we have to, for starters. But secondly, I do think it would be helpful to get the United Nations in to help write a constitution. I mean, they're good at that. Or, perhaps when an election starts, they'll oversee the election. That would be deemed a larger role.
HUME: When you were governor of Texas, you always had a reputation of being an easy going guy, got a long very well with the Democrats in the state of Texas. Now you have -- there's a certain virulence in the things that they're saying about you.
I mean, you had Senator Kennedy the other day accusing the administration of the fact that you were bribing foreign leaders, of a fraudulent war. This is pretty strong medicine in a town that you -- where you hope to change the tone. How do you account for this intensity of the Democrats' feeling about you?
BUSH: I don't know. I should be asking you that question, I guess. But I do -- I'm disappointed in the tone of some of these senior statesmen.
I mean, Senator Kennedy, who I respect, and with whom I have worked, should not have said we were trying to bribe foreign nations. I mean, my regret is -- I don't mind people trying to pick apart my policies, and that's fine and that's fair game. But, you know, I don't think we're serving our nation well by allowing the discourse to become so uncivil that people say -- use words that they shouldn't be using.
HUME: How do you get your news?
BUSH: I get briefed by Andy Card and Condi in the morning. They come in and tell me. In all due respect, you've got a beautiful face and everything.
I glance at the headlines just to kind of a flavor for what's moving. I rarely read the stories, and get briefed by people who are probably read the news themselves. But like Condoleezza, in her case, the national security adviser is getting her news directly from the participants on the world stage.
HUME: Has that been your practice since day one, or is that a practice that you've...
BUSH: Practice since day one.
HUME: Really?
BUSH: Yes. You know, look, I have great respect for the media. I mean, our society is a good, solid democracy because of a good, solid media. But I also understand that a lot of times there's opinions mixed in with news. And I...
