After the White House news conference this morning, Bill Kristol on Fox News praised President Bush's remarks about "immigration reform" as "eloquent." Beg to differ. The president's open-borders statements were empty, garish platitudes strung together sloppily like cheap Christmas lights:
Illegal aliens "do the job Americans won't do." President Bush used that dog-tired phrase about a half-dozen times during today's press conference as he defended his impending illegal alien amnesty plan. Mark Krikorian effectively puts this mindless rhetoric to rest here.
"Family values don't stop at the Rio Grande." Uh huh. Well, terrorists and gang members and drunken murderers and cop-killers don't stop there either. And based on past and recent experience, granting amnesty to 13 million law-breakers will only result in more illegal immigration, not less.
We need immigration reform that "recognizes reality." Rank-and-file immigration enforcement officials give a real reality check on the amnesty debacle here, here, and here.
As immigration enforcement veteran/former U.S. prosecutor Peter Nunez put it:
[W]e need to stop the talk of a coming amnesty, or of a guest worker program, both of which, by themselves, serve to encourage additional illegal immigration. What kind of message are we sending when we dangle that possibility before people desperate enough to put their lives at risk? Doesn’t this kind of talk also indicate that we really don’t care much about law breaking, that we don’t really care that much about the rule of law, that these immigration laws exist only as a token objection to the violation of our sovereignty? Now, that is eloquent.
You're a fraud.
Dubya is out there making speeches and supporting legislation even though he obviously hasn't even thought about immigration nor been advised of the facts. He's so stupid.
If that's not what you meant to say you should re-examine your words. That is how you sound.
Merry Christmas to you too, Joe.
another keeper. dagnabbit laments the Kerry loss.
Thanks for the bump!
Again - don't just vent on FR, call congress and encourage others to do the same. I called today and was told they're getting calls on this.

Or directory assistance for the district office number.
Tell them your schools, safety, hospitals, language, culture and right to live work under American conditions are more important than George Bush's bizarre need to pander to the Mexican government and others.
Congress has defeated Bush's previous underhanded attempts to sneak through amnesty. Help 'em defeat this one too.
Family values don't stop at the Rio Grande.
Yes his advisers are failing him, and we are failing him by NOT persuading him to tighten the borders...

Or just use the same list you used a weeks ago when you failed to stop The National Intelligence Reform Act of 2004. Or the same numbers that failed to stop Specter from the Judiciary Chair. This message brought to you by Sprint!
Tell them you are a kook. Talk about conspiracies against the purity of national identity. Say King George. Swear and quote the Bible a lot. We need your help.
Thank you for supporting the effort to protect our borders and to enforce immigration law! Keep up the good work!
Again: To help stop the Bush Amnesty scheme
