Ask Bush if guest worker program works in Europe, where it is being run over by Muslims.

"Democrats said Bush's plan would create a class of indentured servants, while Republicans felt it rewarded illegal behavior."

Now I call that common ground, a bi-partisan consensus I can support. Bush better get over this nonsense, it might have been a plan when he first ran for President, but 9/11 changed everything and if it didn't change our tolerence of illegals it changed nothing.

Hey, Mr. President, Mo Atta and his 18 (19?) accomplices were ALL ILLEGAL ENTRANTS! Here's $1.00, buy a freaking clue.

Bush needs to get over the idea that Americans want to have their jobs taken by illegals.

Bush needs to get over the idea that Americans like paying taxes to cover Social Security for illegals.

Bush needs to get over the idea that America's foremost job is economically compensating for Mexico's corrupt government.

Most of all, Bush needs to get over the idea that open borders are advisable in a post-9/11 world.

Administration officials say Bush really believes in the guest-worker idea.

Bush also belived in the campaign finance reform (CFR) bill. Look what a mess that is. We even had agencies from the UN monitoring our elections.

We don't need any more Bush screw-ups.

Bush/Rove keeps pushing this.

Congress keeps derailing it.

The vast majority of citizens don't want it.

The vast majority of LEGAL immigrants don't want it.

Is Bush/Rove deaf or just stupid?

"These people looked the administration in the eye and said, 'Drop dead,' " says Mark Krikorian, who runs a conservative immigration reform group.

Thanks to Tancredo and those who said "drop dead" to Bush's CINO/RINO immigration crap, there is still hope for the Republican party. If they don't hold the line against the anti-US proposals [and others like the "New Freedom Initiative"], the R party will in fact LOSE in '08. [Prediction IMO]

We the people were pretty much told by the Senate muckity mucks just how important
a large block of conservative voters are too them...

Perhaps they will listen on closing our borders and getting the illegals out of here and keeping them out...

The protection of our freedom inside CONUS depends upon keeping all terrorists (narco communist and Islamic) all leeches and criminals OUTSIDE... off our education health and welfare rolls...and especially keeping their drug dealers and violent criminals on the their side of the border.

We do not need nor want them here....why tax law enforcement and hurt American citizens
any more than they already are being taxed and hurt?

This only creates a need for more spending, more laws, more bureaucracy and less freedom
for AMERICAN citizens...

The tax payers govt is charged to protect...


imo

Tancredo argued that the president's bill would increase illegal immigration and open the border to terrorists. "Bush tried to send us a pig with lipstick

Increase the Mexican and coastal border patrol six fold and then maybe we can start talking about worker amnesty programs.

"Bush tried to send us a pig with lipstick," Tancredo says. "We told him it would be dead on arrival in the House."

Tancredo acts like he was elected President. Probably thinks he was. Suprise Surpise I'm for the guest worker program. I like workers who want to work. I don't see a down side to this plan and I think it will make it easier to capture illegals who are not registered to work.

Forget it, Jorge. Apparently you worry about a few Hispanic votes with the flawed assumption that they want to be overrun. YOu're wrong. Most vote against illegal aliens. They lose their jobs too. They have their taxes raised thru the roof too. They have their neighborhoods overrun too. He knows this. The question we should be asking is why then does he want it? Why do they all want it? Bible prophecy and one world government coming true before our eyes. No Christian would be caught dead abetting the End Times NWO.

Ridiculous! Tom Tancredo supported PresBush`s reelection. Tancredo also believes in protecting America from illegal immigration.

Bottomline. Bush`s guest worker proposal is an effort in futility.

Three things need to happen that will help to solve America's illegal immigration problem. First, the feds have to make an honest effort at sealing the borders shut, once and for all. Second. There must be full enforcement of existing laws that punish employers for hiring illegals. And finally, the feds must end any and all government welfare funding to illegals.

"Tancredo acts like he was elected President."
No, he acts like he was elected to the House with the duty to protect the American people. Bush might want to follow his example on this issue, seeing as how we're at war.

"I like workers who want to work."

Sure, workers who work for wages that cause them to live several families to a house and bankrupt our emergency rooms. You're a profile in courage.

I like complete Republican control of government, tax cuts, military victories, and abortion restriction. I'm willing to cut Dubya some lack on CFR. He wouldn't have signed it if Republicans in the Congress had not let it out of committee. Lastly, I like the guest worker program. Dubya Rocks!

I doubt it, but if that is the case we are doomed to do nothing about the illegal immigration problem.
