They have no desire to attack their Democrat Governors or Democrat Sheriffs or Democrat Mayors.
whenever we try that here in MN, dimocRATS whine that we're
mean and unfair if we put anything on drivers licenses that
would indicate you're an visitor and not a citizen.
The local police chiefs and police unions complain that's not their job and if they don't kiss immigrant ass, the
immigrants won't turn in fellow immigrants for crimes they commit. Sooo, basically nobody will take the blame ,but if they accidenally stumble across an illegal committing a crime, they'll fight each other to see who can take credit on TV news first.
It's a mad,mad,mad,mad world.
I am serious about immigration reform and enforcement. It is not exclusivly a Democratic issue or a Republican issue. Many Democrats are wrong on this issue. Kerry would have offered amnesty too. If you study some of the groups Teresa supports you will find that she is for open borders. The point is some in the Republican Party and the Dem party are right on this issue. And many Dems and Republicans are wrong on this issue including Teresa, John Kerry and Rudy. We need to do what's right for America, this includes stricter immigration law enforcement, cutting off welfare to all people here illegally, and resisting all calls for amnesty.
Bump.
bayourod I am quite clear on your motives and purposes. You would like to see the border open wide. You are one in twenty here. Does that give you a clue?
You're slipping, you didn't even call us racists this time. Shape up, troll.
"You are one in twenty here"
Try 1 in 1000 and you might be getting close!
No. support President Bush's policies, which include siginificant tightening of border security.
What I oppose are the DU, Buchanan/Tancredo, White Supremacists, and other posters whose real objectives on FR are to raise money for their organizations and attack President Bush.
They are easy to recognize. They post obvious lies such as, "Bush is a traitor", "Bush has an open borders policy", "Bush has done nothing to tighten our borders", "Bush lied to us during the campaign", etc...
Are you part of that group?
"Bush has done nothing to [significantly]tighten our borders",
Are you part of that group?"
YEP!
And if you're not, you need to extract your cranium for your posterior and look around.
So doubling the number of border guards isn't significant in your opinion, but changing the laws in ten states that permit illegals to get driver's licenses would solve all our problems?
That's the way people think who are more interested in attacking President Bush than in solving the immigrant labor problem.
Well I see Bayou boob is back. What is posted is great and I can see Sheriff Deaver rubbing his hands now with this law and the confiscation funds he'll add to the county coffers. I can also see Gov. Jihadi Janet el NapoleonReno, al Calde Don Edwardo Pastor de Azatlan, Don Raul Grijalva de Me.Ch.A., KogressKritter Kolbe, and Sen. RINO McCain crying "That's not fair!!!!"
Spin doesn't get it. We need results.
BTW: You seriously need to think about changing your meds.
I didn't say a word about approving of illegal permits for driver's licenses.
WTF? LOL! Trying to link all these together, are we? Show me some facts. Otherwise STFU. (Tancredo is a great member of Conrgress, imho).
I don't care to be in a forum with white supremacists. I've asked you before, identify them or stop with your racist name calling. From what I read of the rules you are out of line.
Does anyone enforce these rules, or are they like our illegal immigration laws?
If nothing else you are persistent. The only person who is hurting President Bush in this discussion is you. Your posts make it sound like all these people didn't work their butts off supporting him and you know most of them did, or you have a very short memory. If you are what his support system is he is in deeper doo-doo than I thought. President Bush may be dead wrong on immigration, but he would never lower himself to be happy to be supported or represented by a bayouRUDE.
