I don't think there's a need for a national ID. Just make sure that the states cannot issue drivers licenses and other forms of ID to illegal aliens.
I'd say that pretty much sums it up.
And as far as the train wreck of a "country" that gets left in the wake of this sort of insanity, I don't think that, frankly, he gives a damn.
He and his buddies will have absconded with the payola, and be headed for sunnier climes. Hopefully where the extradition laws don't apply.
But then, laws don't apply to this guy, so why would he worry...
Then I will take some of their things away from them on behalf of the common good...
Bush/Clinton/Globalists.
yeah, unfortunately.
As it is, no business in America has an excuse for hiring an illegal, IMO.
Anyway, it's a voluntary program and we still won't have any worksite enforcement, so anyone who wants to hire an illegal still can.
Unfortunately yes. And I'll same the same thing again. With these comments he has lost my support, on everything.
I no longer feel that he has the best interests of this country in mind just his own agenda.
I'm done with him.
Uh, no. The reason the border patrol is there is to stop the "good-hearted people". Because it's our country, not theirs. PERIOD. Not the Bush family plantation, not the employment agency for Vicente Fox's problem children, not the dumping ground of the planet.
Our country, our home. Open only to those we accept, under the terms we demand and they agree to.
The way he says it makes it sound good. However, how does he know terrorists won't sneak across the border under cover of this partial amnesty? How does he know that Americans won't do certain jobs? Perhaps its because the jobs are offered at wages only illegals (and maybe guest workers) will accept, because there are illegals and guest workers there to accept them at those wages.
I'm done with him.
Better change your handle. :-)
You're not alone. His slide to the left has been a great disappointment to many conservatives who trusted him.
I'm sick and tired of hearing this line. Americans did the jobs in the past and will do them again if the cheap Mexican labor wasn't driving the job market down.
I'll gladly pay a few cents more for a head of lettuce to get Americans working again.
Ditto.
African-Americans drowning in wave
of illegal immigration
By TERRY ANDERSON
THE black community has made great strides in the last few
decades. Racism has certainly not been eradicated, but it is no
longer accepted with a wink and a nod as it once was. We are
proud to see Secretary of State Colin Powell, even when we do
not agree with everything he does. The same with Condoleezza
Rice, the president's national security adviser, and many others.
That's the good news.
The bad news is that in some regions we black folks are so
overwhelmed by the huge numbers of immigrants that we are
being displaced in our schools, jobs and neighborhoods.
That may seem a harsh thing for a black person to say against
brown people, but I don't see it that way. I am an American,
proud of both my nation and my race. What I see in my
community of South Central Los Angeles -- where I have lived
nearly all my life -- is thousands of Mexicans who care nothing
about our traditions and culture, and only want to impose their
way on us. That's not immigration, that is invasion.
It is sad what has happened in my neighborhood. This was a
respectable, blue-collar area of hard-working black folks living in
their bungalows and going to their jobs. In just a couple decades it
has become almost entirely Mexican. They live several families to
a three-bedroom house and keep chickens in the yard, but the
city doesn't care about the zoning violations or the noise of having
so many crowded into a small space.
According to the Census Bureau, nearby Watts is now 60 percent
Hispanic, and it was previously the black community on the West
Coast. No longer.
The immigration situation is really hard on our young people. A
17-year-old kid on my street couldn't get a job at McDonald's
because he didn't speak Spanish. Another young neighbor boy
was thrown into a bilingual classroom at age 8 and was forced to
listen to Spanish all day long. His six-hour school day was turned
into three hours. When his mother asked for an English-only class,
she was told "there are none."
Would you believe that I, a black man, have been called a racist
many times for speaking up against this invasion? I have a radio
program on the subject and therefore hear from a lot of people,
even some in Mexico.
When they call me a racist, I put this question to them: What if a
hundred thousand Vietnamese were suddenly dropped into
Guadalajara? And what if those newcomers didn't speak Spanish,
and further insisted that their children be taught in Vietnamese?
What would you think if they were happy to work for half the
normal wages for any job they could get, thereby putting
thousands of your local Guadalajarans out of work? Would it be
racist to say there was a problem?
When people of good will and good sense hear the situation put
that way, nearly all understand and respect my viewpoint.
Now if only they would listen in Washington. America's political
leaders are the problem. They have been selling out this great
nation for real and imaginary political benefits while ignoring the
dangers. Even after Sept. 11, nothing has been done to plug up
our borders. Another terrorist attack could be 10 times worse,
and it would likely happen because Congress and the president
learned nothing about the need to keep the nation's borders
secure.
If I sound angry, you hear right. Like other Americans, I want
immigration to be legal, controlled and reduced. But as a black
American, I see that the burden my people must carry is heavier
than for many others. I am sure that if Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,
were alive, he would understand the fundamental unfairness to the
black community of allowing more immigration than the nation can
handle.
If you aint mad, you aint payin attention!

Heck, give them a new 'bracero' program to fill the need for seasonal agricultural labor. That Americans refuse to stoop in a field picking vegetables all day during artichoke season I can buy.
But bussing tables, fixing cars & building houses are jobs Americans won't do? Just what exactly has happened in the past twenty years that caused this?
Only a complete rube would believe this.
Trust me, it's not the winning issue the witch thinks it is, she is attacking her own base, not bright.
And that's a jive sell for the rubes as well. Labor costs are a small price of the overall retail price of boutique crops. But since they can maximize the profit by using squat labor, they do.
And best of all, they dump all the social costs on us. And our towns look the worse for it.
Works for Bush. Maybe she's just taking a page from him.
When Bush starts attacking Christians give me a call.
