"President George W. Bush has told his Mexican counterpart he campaigned for re-election on immigration reform..."
The Mexicans followed the U.S. election quite closely. Sometimes it almost seemed as if Bush and Kerry were running for Presidente... and nobody down here heard anything about this.
Some of us don't look forward to a merged USA-Mexico, which is where politicians like Bush are taking us, with their deceitful schemes that always promise enforcement "later" in exchange for amnesty now.
Bush: Raise limit for Mexico - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics - August 07, 2004
"I support raising the quotas on certain population groups, like the Mexican nationals, on who can become a citizen," Mr. Bush told a convention of minority journalists. "In order to solve the logjam for citizenship, Congress has got to raise the quotas."
That's a very interesting thought. Apparently the investiture of that fantasyland called 'multi-culturalism' is more important to both parties than the threat of terrorism and the destruction of our culture and heritage.
Maybe he only peddled his amnesty in Spanish-language campaign ads?
Perhaps we can ask that Bush extend his Latin American tour for another four years?
They want to turn THIS country into Mexico. I intend to not let that happen. They've ruined california already. New Jersey is also nearly ruined by illegals, here from all over the globe. Asians the Brits would call them.
This is DONE. Bush better think up something better to spend his politcal capital on. Or does he think he won it all AWAY from us?
Hadrian built a wall too. But the Roman empire is no more.

"I don't want anchor babies though."
That needs a constitutional amendment. Can we tie that in with the Right to Life cause? Hmm, just thinking.
Dubya also tried to avoid other issues that are divisive like abortion and tried to focus on issues that unite moderates and conservatives like taxes and national defense. He did talk about immigration on the campaign trail and I have provided a link to one story in post 43.
Got that right. There is damn little enforcement. Here on the border they play catch and release – no meaningful penalty. Even if they get caught committing crimes against American citizens, the usual policy is just a quick deportation. When was the last time you heard of an employer getting aggressively nailed? Not if he's a campaign donor...and I'll bet he is now. It’s all carrot and no stick.
Maybe we need to hang a few politicians by their heels from lampposts and use them as piñatas. That might beat some sense into them.
Right now it's the people who live along the border getting the piñata treatment -- just so various greedy jerk-offs can have cheap labor.
I notice Bush has never mentioned who pays for the health care and free education his "guest workers" and the extended family they'll bring over will be receiving. I assume he means to dump the costs of them onto the taxpayers --- the employers certainly have no intention of paying for them --- if that were required --- they would just bring in even more illegals.
Yes. We need a Maginot line to keep out the enemy!
Pretty much --- yes. But we could hope he's really stringing Vicente Fox along -- and not us. Fox will be out of there in 2 years --- if not sooner. Mexico is making leftist turns in all it's recent elections --- either PRI regains it's power or PRD gets added seats --- Fox's party PAN is losing big time.
The parties of corruption versus the party of Lenin. What a grand set of choices.
He sees and understands a problem that needs attention.
He suggested a basis to do that, but no real specifics.
True that if you look down the corridor of the next 100 years, you see potential for the U.S and Mexico to do any number of things. I don't think merger is likely, but I really can't predict. Right now, it could be war.....or anything.
But, we gotta do something to control this and it seems our hands are tied as far as enforcement and that is at least one reason why the 86 Amnesty failed in its enforcement provisions.
Even accepting the fact that Carter and Clinton did nothing to control the border or businesses that hire, it seems that when we do try to do something, as we have done, it fails.
So in the end we do nothing and the illegals have obtained protections of law through the courts.
I cannot come up with some simple statement like "control the borders" as an answer to this, because it just is not feasible to do so.
Something is going to get done, and I believe Bush will do it. The proper thing to do is to help write the legislation rather than keep it on the "to do" list and continue to complain that nothing is done.
You and Bush can surrender another country to foreign invasion. Not mine.
