Farah is on target, and he doesn't even dwell on the most radical part of the program, the part that would allow massive new immigration (with no numerical limits) for all jobs (including formerly high-paying ones) Americans are unwilling to do at minimum wage or below-market wages. This will drive down American wages, create many more foreign enclaves in our country, and add fuel to the fires of multiculturalism and political correctness.

Farah is also on target about the other outrage: the willingness of some so-called conservatives to find excuses for what Bush has done.

That's why I just cancelled my subscription to the Wall Street Journal. Their editorials support this outrage. Anyone who puts money or political opportunity before country deserves contempt.

I will not make excuses for Bush. I think he has done wonderfully on the WOT, but this immigration proposal is one of the worst things I have ever seen (LBJ's "Great Society" was the worst in my lifetime, and I'm in my 50s). I am even beginning to questions his choices on the judiciary, what with the recdent ruling of that DC judge (appointed by GWB) who just ruled that the Second Amendment doesn't say what it says, and that there is no consitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. Bush is losing his base quicker than Bill Clinton dopped trou. The massive bureaucracy and bankrupting abomination known as his prescription drug benefit is another terrible blunder. And if he signs a AWB when the present one sunsets, he's finished as president. He will have pissed off too much of his base. My God, he's going to follow right in the footsteps of his father: He is going to squander a seemingly unbeatable approval rating and will lose in 2004 to some left-wing dingbat. I voted for him in 2000, and proudly. I cannot in good conscience vote for him in 2004.

Bingo, and this forum has more than a few. Reagan, before he was elected, often said "A country that cannot control its borders, is not a country." Something happened to change his mind on this.

Maybe it was the same leadership that forced him to accept George Sr. as his VP. I remember the convention well, there was no clear choice for VP and the battle raged on til the wee hours, finally RR came to the floor and endorsed Bush Sr.

Maybe I am just a one issue radical, but we could use an Eisenhower about now.
