That is EXACTLY what I was told..I said WHAT?? He confirmed what he told me. For those here who has said this is what Bush should've done .. so it can be DISCUSSED in Congress.. guess what? NOT GONNA HAPPEN!

[CalKat]

I agree with you. I think one of the most infuriating things about this amnesty program is that Bush can stand there and tell us it's not amnesty. Like because he says it's not amnesty means it's not amnesty, when it is clearly, to anyone with a dictionary, amnesty. And some people actually believe him!

[CalKat]

Doh. Of course the people you refer to will say that border agents are instructed not to talk about amnesty with the media because this isn't amnesty. And I didn't have sexual relations with woman, either.

Before or after the election, do you know?

I called an a very nice lady, told me she has gotten calls from all over the US. I told her I would pledge money if he ran, and she said lots do, but never follow thro, with the money promise.
I told her she could take it to the bank, I would not have pleged money if I did not mean it.
She said because Flake has so much money behind him, that Russell did not think he could win.

I am asking every one if you want change, then call his office and tell them you will pledge x amount of dollars.
I live in Washington State, and if there are canidates out there that have the same views on illegal immigration, then I will support them.

We have to start building our crew, one brick at a time, until we are the majority, not the minority.

And I know the President ran on this, but 3 years ago, we had a few illegals, but they did not impact the schools, etc. And yes I voted for him, but all he had to do, was say, ammensty, and they have come by the 1000s.

There is an old saying, it all depends on whose ox is getting gored, whether you pay any attention to other peoples problems.

I believe this effectS towns all across this nation, it is not a big city problem any more.
You can help out all the small towns, by calling and faxing your congressmen and women, and senators, also the president, just stating ENFORCE OUR PRESENT IMMIGRATION LAWS.

Sorry, I was so shook up over the news, of An Executive Order, I just lost it, it looks like, but this is suppose to go to Marine INspector!!!
This pertains to Russell Pearce running against Flake in Arizona.
I think I will just read, and forget trying to post!!!

[Zipporah]

I don't know.. he didn't tell me. I was in a state of shock!

[Cold Heat]

So an Admin spokesman confirms it, but you will not consider that you may be wrong?!?!

Oh really!

Those secret documents are available via the internet and is public domain.(although they are often a bit behind)

There are no details of the plan because they, (congress) has not debated or written a damn word of it yet.

I doubt seriously whether they will this year. I would expect some committees to be lined up in the interim.

So you see, this article is nothing but controversy food. It is obvious that the dept, heads are anticipating some media scrutiny and is setting some standards or dragging out the rule book to remind employees what there responsibilities are.

Yea sure! It's a big nasty cover-up! "hello!"

"Details my rear end"

[Cold Heat]

I would be very careful about passing this BS around. You realize it is total paranoid hype..............(don't you?)

LOL! I have seen everything now!

Well almost everything.................................

"Some border officials fear the new offer will tempt more illegal immigrants to flood border crossings, especially in the Southwest."

Well DUH! Ya think?

"Last week, several border patrol stations on the country's southern border received a survey, listing questions that should be asked of anyone caught entering the country illegally."

And I'm sure they will answer honestly. < /sarcasm >

"they already worked in the word "amnesty" depiste everything the President actually said."

amnesty: A general pardon granted by a government, especially for political offenses.

He can call it a field trip for all I care, it is still amnesty.

[sweetliberty]

""Do you plan to apply for amnesty if it is offered?"

But if it isn't really amnesty I wonder why they'd use that term on official government papers. Hmmmm....could it be because it IS amnesty?

[Happy2BMe]

"But if it isn't really amnesty I wonder why they'd use that term on official government papers."

Bush, Tom Ridge, and the entire INS just got caught with their hand in the taco.

You know Vicente Fox would never agree to having 20 million of the Mexican citizens coming back to Mexico!! Of course it's an amnesty --- it's pretty clear that in 3 years they will not be going back, there is nothing being done to improve conditions for these people back in Mexico --- and there will not be any over the next 3 years. The last thing the elites there want is these people coming back.

FRIGHTENING PING IF TRUE

[JustPiper]

Ping!

[RiflemanSharpe]

From what I hear here and else where, its true. GWB is quite good at controlling the flow of information
