Bush Gives Country Away

Total federal "handouts" to school districts amout to an average of 6% of the various districts budgets and that is the total, not just money for illegal alien students. The Supreme Court has already spoken 30 years ago on the issue. If a kid is here he must be allowed to attend school but the amount to be spent is a strict function of the states.

I really don't deem that interesting enough to employ my time in writing.

However, I appreciate your wisdom from the heart.

Alan Keyes said flatly in a couple of 2000 debates that Bush would not govern as a conservative.

How does Keyes now stand in regard to Bush? Do you know?

[Theodore R.]

Not everything that Reagan did was right.

Also Reagan signed the King holiday bill, elevating King to a status greater than George Washington.

And his enduring legacy is Sandra Day O'Connor.

[Zipporah]

Not sure re Keyes. I haven't followed Keyes since he ran for president several years ago.

The real security issue here is that Americans reject the idea that their job will be put up on the global bidding board. Who the hell wants to see their hours increase and their salary decrease continually? When I was mid level in Silly-con Valley several of the "lords" of the realm told me that my people just didn't work hard enough. These slouchers were averaging about 75 intense hours per week vs about 50 for the bitchers who included every miserable VC. I responded by stopping all real planning or prioritization. Hours went up a bit and the company went down hard due to the increased burn rate.
When it was my turn to be a "lord" I relied on lots of fairy dust (options) and explaining the path to an IPO included bottom as well as top line growth (screw the sandhill crowd). Funny how this path worked better than endless 100 hour weeks!

Honestly I think GW is in a time warp. Karl Rove is the evil hand behind this crap however, GW will have to suffer in order to figure out that KR is as wrong on this one as he was about muslims.

CMAC51, you are one of the only people on these posts that has a brain! You are so right about the liberal courts blocking all efforts to enforce the laws on the books that are already in place to deal with the illegals. No one else has brought up this point, all seem just too happy to bash Bush. DU is delighted over the Bush-bashing over here!

Rmember the whooping you put on the ol' Dawg in that thread, Cat?

Oh, yeah. I remember.>>>>>>>>


Cheers for you Cat !! Sure sorry I missed that whooping 'dawg' surely deserved.

Hard to believe someone RUDE as 'dawg' is from Texas.

Just give it a few years.

Draft Tancredo? Fragment Conservatives across the Republican, Libertarian, Constitution, and other assorted Parties? Teach them all a lesson? Take back the country? Is that you, Pat?

Ah, yes, it's all the fault of the liberal courts. If enforcing our immigration laws and defending our borders were a priority to Bush, he would highlight the need to defend our borders and enforce our laws and point out the great damage caused by illegal immigration. After 9/11, this would not be a tough sell.

Instead, he resurrects the amnesty plan that was in the works before 9/11, warbles about how wonderful the illegals are, and apologizes because our laws aren't "humane." The simple fact is that Bush has no intention whatever to enforce our immigration laws or defend our borders, and he wants to give business the right to import unlimited amounts of low-wage, Third World labor whenever it wants.

Well, you apparently have more in common with the denizens of babylon by the bay than those of us in S California.

Thanks for the gratuitous ad hominem.

Personally, I think you would more likely see rioting in the streets than celebrating. You see, racial profiling is Unconstitutional (thanks to our liberal courts), so the Illegal Alien Task Force would have to check everyone's ID. What, you and your family do not all have Government approved identification on you at this moment? Get on the bus, you are going to the deportation concentration camp!

I thought a lot of people here were opposed to expanding the power of the government. I guess I was wrong.

"Why? We'll never get the number of illegals down to zero and after a while you hit the point of diminishing returns when it comes to effort."

I wouldn't want to be with you in a foxhole, for not only would you quickly surrender, you'd like give the rest of us up, as well. Your logic, employing another example, is this: We'll never get the number of criminals down to zero, so after we arrest some of them, we'll leave it at that. I don't want to live in a society that takes only half measures on issues of critical importance, and then feels faint with what little effort it expended in the first place, and then calls it quits. What you described is France. I don't want to live in France, but you apparently do.

[RebelBanker]

...either you agree with the SF radicals that deporting illegals is a Nazi act, or you are afraid to enforce immigration law because SF radicals are going to call you names....

I support deporting illegals as a matter of law and common sense. What I object to is the massive government crackdown it would take to round up 10,000,000 people and deport them all at once. Also, as I mentioned in my last post (yes, I was being a bit sarcastic - sorry about that) the massive government intrusion would really anger a lot of people.

The immediate political fallout would be to drive all Hispanics into the Democrat camp for at least a generation. Also, anyone who values civil liberties could no longer support an administration that has done this.

"Well I certainly was duped. I honestly was under the false impression that Bush was a conservative.. probably because of his claims of being a Christian"

I don't consider fundamentalists people real Christians. Real Christians are people who follow the NEW Testament, specially follow CHRIST example (humbel/forgiving/meek/accepting/gentel/....). The Evangalicals have basterdaize Jesus example as much as the fundamentalist Moslems have done to the already screwed up Islam. The evaganlical zeal to convert people to Christianity is almost as bad as the fundamentalist Moslems. Granted they don't kill you if you don't convert!

[EverOnward]

You speak with truth, logic and common sense. Expect to get pummeled by the greedy who can only think in terms of $$$$, but hide it by intimidating those who refuse to follow blindly.

"Why no complaint about 8 years of open borders under Clinton? Clinton let them in. Now Bush has to fix the problem. I think he's making the best of a bad situation."

What has Bush done thus far to close the open borders?
