Unbelievable. I would never thought I would see this. What the hell is Bush doing opening our borders to terrorists? What is he thinking? How does this make us safer? How does this protect America?

Bush is Foxs litle puppet...

I do not know what a mobyite troll is, so I cannot say if I am one. I do know that today is my first day at Free Republic and this was my first post. I did not shorten the article to change or disguise its meaning. I was trying to be brief, and not use up too much space. Which I thought was one of the reasons for the requirement for posting the url. Anyway, in the future, I will be sure to post the entire article.

Actually, this was announced several days ago. It was not something that Bush conceded to Fox at their meeting.

From what I understand about this, it only applies to Mexicans who have obtained a permit to regularly cross the border to work, attend school, etc. This way they will not have to be photographed and finger printed every single time they cross the border. Doing so would clog up the border checkpoints so bad it will be a parking lot 24/7.

well, isn't that special?

And the following is just too, too precious:

Bush and Fox spoke at lecterns set up with a pastoral background. Both wore dark blue jeans, boots and big, shiny belt buckles, Fox's spelling out his name in capital letters.

When Bush spoke about how his immigration proposal would strengthen the economies of both countries, he glanced at the Mexican leader, who nodded vigorously.

I do not know what a mobyite troll is,

A mobyite troll is a person who supports Kerry or liberals in general who is going by punk rocker Moby's remarks about a month ago to post on conservative forums as outraged conservatives, when they are actually liberals.

Punk the Prez?- Moby's anti Bush remarks

I understand that but there is a space to check before you post articles specifically stating if what you are posting is an excerpt from an article.

Anyway, in the future, I will be sure to post the entire article

Actually some news sources aren't allowed to be posted in their entirity on FR due to a suit brought by the Washington Post and LA Times.

Articles from the Post and LA Times, their affiliates(Newsweek, MSNBC, etc.etc) and other newsources(Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun) are to be excerpted. I don't have the complete list and there is thread stating all the news sources, but I do not know the exact title of that thread to find it on the search engine.

The White House is just plain failing to promulgate the truth. It used to be that actions spoke louder than words. In America today, words speak louder than actions.

I think it's because when the U.S. is colonized with enough Latinos to give them a majority, Bush will still own his ranch and probably even expand it and he will be an acreedor politico under the new America's government.
