Bush nephew backs off on INS
Arizona Daily Star ^ | 8/27/2004 | Ignacio Ibarra

Posted on 08/28/2004 3:49:03 PM PDT by 4.1O dana super trac pak

Presidential nephew George P. Bush, campaigning in Tucson Thursday, backed off his weekend charge that the U.S. Border Patrol's use of pepper-ball guns is "reprehensible" and "kind of barbarous."

In Mexico City Saturday, the youngest George Bush blamed the policy on "some local INS guy who's trying to be tough, act macho."

Bush did not apologize Thursday for his remarks but acknowledged that he misspoke in Mexico City, because there is a formal policy and agreement between the United States and Mexico covering the use of these less-than-lethal weapons. He said he didn't fully understand the U.S. policy when he attributed it to some local tough guy in the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

"I made an error and I accept it, but I think the larger issue is that it is something that shouldn't be happening, there shouldn't be this use of arms," he told Tucson reporters after a rally at the University Marriot for his uncle's re-election.

"There needs to be substantive reform so that folks can move back and forth, work and pay taxes and achieve the American dream. The amount of violence on the border is terrible and we just need more focus on this issue."

I didn't know moving back and forth over borders was part of the American dream.

Doesn't matter, nephew Bush. We won't forget. And your political future is toast, sucker.

Wonder who told him to remove his head so that his view would not be blocked by the crick in his colon?

This lad needs to have a serious conversation with Komrade Kerry about stupid mistakes made in your youth coming back to haunt you.

Family politics: George P. Bush, nephew
of George W, also delivered a bilingual address

He will speak at the convention.

George P. "Kennedy" Bush: "There needs to be substantive reform so that folks can move back and forth, work and pay taxes and achieve the American dream. The amount of violence on the border is terrible and we just need more focus on this issue."

Let's elect George Bush, then let's revolt and let him know we will not stand for the raping of America.

This nephew is an idiot, and President Bush is an idiot for his open border views.

But we must elect idiot George Bush because John "Traitor and Fake Purple Heart" Kerry is even worse.

It is God awful shameful that these are our two choices.

Will I EVER be proud to vote for a politician again? Where are our true American heros and leaders? Where have you gone, Ronald Reagan? Conservatives turn their lonely eyes to you.

George P. is turning out to be a twit.
He certainly won't be the next generation of Bush politicos, unless he follows the Rockefeller pattern and switches to the democrat party.

That is for sure. Unless Mexico continues to take over America.

What a total ass. Jorge P. Bush, apparently campaigning to become Caudillo of Aztlan - sort of a Bush family version of Juan Peron. He bitches about the BP using pepperballs while the Coyotes, drug smugglers, Mexican Army units (over 120 times in the last decade) and an undetermined number of OTMs (most of whom are middle eastern males) cross the border with impunity carrying full-auto AK-47's, which is how they killed a park ranger in Organ Pipe Catctus NP last year.

This moron should be tarred, feathered, packed in a DHL crate and sent to pal Vincente in Mexico City. Jorge P. is nothing but a treasonous piece of coyote dung. The stupid party strikes again.

Oh yea?

When was the last time you saw George Bush slam his hand down and say he will not stand for the invasion from Mexico and the trashing of our culture?

Like uncle, like nephew.

They both are traitors when it comes to protecting (or talking about) American sovereignty.

Vote for the lesser of two evils--vote for Bush for president.

RE: W's position on immigration

1. Stories concerning ME terrorists coming over Mexican border.
2. New UAVs to be used along Canadian border to keep terrorists out.


Connect the dots........
