WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Bush administration backed off plans to require that millions of visa-carrying Mexicans who make short visits to America and stay close to the border be fingerprinted and photographed to get into the country.

Asa Hutchinson, the Homeland Security department's undersecretary for border and transportation, was to publicly announce the policy change at a Capitol Hill hearing Thursday, a congressional official who was briefed on the plan told The Associated Press.

You've got it all backwards. Statistically, over 10,000 illegal aliens crossed our borders while you've been name calling and personal attacking.

It's all Bush's fault. He had a moral imperative to secure our borders after 9/11 and he refused.

Worse than that, Bush removed the 1,400 National Guard that Clinton had on our borders!!!

A failed Democrat President had more National Guard on our borders before 9/11 than a Republican President has on our borders after 9/11!!!

You, Bush and Rove are all nuts, if you believe I'm voting for that.

Oh, I don't think so.

You are a direct threat to 6 billion people.

You've got the whole world in you hands. Decide accordingly.

You want to play the Ass?

LOL. Don't expect to get a free pass from me.

You're pledging to vote for our enemies- and I'm the one with the attitude problem?

Yeah.... You just keep telling yourself that.

I'll vote for a Conservative candidate, if there's one on the ballot or write someone's name in.

Bush lost my vote and a whole lot of others.

Maybe we'll get another Conservative revolution as a result of Bush's defeat. ;^)

Ahhh... A utopian. Why not just be a communist?

Is that it?

Perfection? That's what you want?

Welcome to the world.

6 Billion people. Choose wisely.

"Liberals don't know any better."

Yep, that describes Bush and Rove to a 'T'. You're starting to get it. Good. :)

Ohh...

Come on now.

You know what your vote is going to do. Don't be playing stupid. You're not a liberal are you? You can't be claiming stupidity as a defense.

So that's off the table.

You've followed Kerry's remarks and intentions just like everybody else. But you, you come to a different conclusion. You come to the conclusion that by electing a man who has pledged to surrender to our enemies, you can claim amnesty by voting for a third candidate?

No, no, no, Homeboy. You know better than that.

Kerry is as good as al Qaeda.

If you're campaigning agaisnt Bush- which you are, be honest here, don't lie- you're campaigning for Kerry.

You. That's you. You're campaigning for Kerry. That's you. That's what you're about. You're for Kerry . When your country needed you most, you went for the odd guy out. That was your contribution. Trying to elect Kerry.

Hey, that's ok. Just be honest with yourself.

But remember. Not being a liberal- you can't claim to be stupid.

You do this with full knowledge.

This was posted by DumpsterDiver on another thread:


Fox said he would discuss plans with Bush to unite North American nations in "a united bloc to confront the challenges of other regions of the world."

He said the first decade of the North American Free Trade Agreement had been successful, but added, "we need to promote new initiative that will bring us great integration and greater growth of our economies."

Oh does it?

So Bush is pro-abortion?

Just answer that one question. All liberals are pro-abortion.

Don't give me that bollocks. There are a wide range of issues at stake here. You want to call Bush a liberal for one issue?

This is reality guy. Reality. Get used to it.

It's the way it is.

"Welcome to the world. 6 billion people. Choose wisely."

Sorry Mr. Globalist, but I'll be choosing my candidate from among American citizens that were born in the United States and not from among the entire population of the world.

Thanks for showing us all exactly who you really are.

ROTFLMAO!

Two articles published in Mexico today:
Bush has proposed a program that stops just shy of amnesty for illegal aliens while the Mexican government has heeded U.S. requests to turn back or cancel flights that have been deemed terrorist threats -- despite the criticism this cost Fox at home.
http://www.guadalajarareporter.com/fullcover.cfm?id=2

Vicente Fox will today arrive Friday at the Crawford farm, in Texas, with the objective to impel a migratory agreement with his homologous one of the United States, George W. Bush, that opens the doors to the regularización of about five million of Mexican which they reside and they work without documents in the American Union.

The goal of President Fox is to obtain, gradually, benefits nongranted to these connacionales, that contribute about 154 billion dollars Producto Interno Bruto (PIB) of the United States. One calculates in addition, that about 14 billion dollars enters every year Mexico by concept of remittances.

For the Government of Mexico a reasonable agreement in the migratory subject is high-priority. Few are the Government and Chiefs of State that have met with Bush in their familiar farm of Crawford, Texas. Between the visitors they are, among others, prime minister of the Great Britain and Italy, Tony Blair and Silvio Berlusconi, thus like the presidents of Russia, Vladimir Putin, and of Spain, Jose Maria Aznar

Fox was upset that...Mexicans would have been photographed and fingerprinted before entering the United States, while Canadians would not.

Hey, Fox is right on this one!

Photograph and fingerprint on the Canadian border too. Canada lets anyone into Canada with no checking on them.

Oh you want to pretend like American soldiers aren't in mulitple theatres in the world? You want to pretend like the freedom of the entire world doesn't rely upon the USA?

Who do you think guards the hopes and dreams of this world? France?

LOL. Come on buddy.

You go out there and track 'em down. Where are our troops? Where are they? Man, I couldn't even list all the countries here. You want to honestly pretend that the world doesn't rely upon us?

You think if you and your ilk elect Kerry and freedom in the USA becomes a forgotten concept that the f--king EU is going to step up? You better wake up to what it is you're doing.

LOL. What I can do or say. I'm just shaking my head. What I'm dealing with here is someone who calls himself conservative and is trying to tell me that electing Kerry is what's best for the nation and world?

Yeah, I guess I'm just f--ked up. I'm just stupid. Kerry is good. Bush is evil. The democrats have been right all along.

I tell ya what. It's late in Scotland. I'm going to bed. This means you have at least 8 hours to think about why you're voting for Kerry and to explain that. Don't be hasty- I'd really like to hear it. Take your time. Explain what it is you think you will accomplish by electing Kerry.

The majority of the illegal aliens and legal immigrants, that Bush is allowing to flood this nation, are pro-abortion, big government, Socialist/Communists.

That's why I say that illegal immigration is the linch pin of all Conservative issues.

We don't have the votes to over-turn Roe v. Wade, now. Keep letting the Liberal, 3rd worlders flood the nation and start voting and see what you get. :(

Oh, that's right, you want to choose the U.S. President from among the globe's entire population.

I recommend you read the U.S. Constitution. You must have forgotten some of it.

LOL!

This President's first responsibility is to American citizens and America's borders. He's blown it.

I'm voting for a Conservative candidate, if I can find one.

It's Bush's own fault I won't be voting for him.

Goodnight to you and your fellow Scottish globalists.

Were you always a globalist, or only since you started wearing a kilt?

LOL!
