"...appears on the surface that the outcry against this is motivated by selfishness, anger, and a whole lot of xenophobia - none of which are feelings that a Christian in a state of grace should have. Yet, many of you who express these things are the most vocal about your Christianity"

How Christian is it to break through barriers (law and borders) and rob your neighbor? How Christian is it to take money from your hard working tax paying citizens to prop up the corruption emanating south of us? How Christian is it to allow the corrupt narco-traficing govt. to our south continue to drive out their own people from their own land? Jesus said to protect the poor and helpless, yet, vicente and crew go on, secure in knowing they've got people like you to protect them. After all, they're not the problem, it's those selfish lazy Americans fault, right?

The mexican govt. is not only totally corrupt, they're marxists. Yet, you say it's not "Christian" and it's racist if we resist rolling over for it? Nuts!

Here's what Michelle Malkin has to say about the speech last night:


On immigration, Bush offered the usual platitudes:

America's immigration system is also outdated -- unsuited to the needs of our economy and to the values of our country. We should not be content with laws that punish hard-working people who want only to provide for their families, and deny businesses willing workers, and invite chaos at our border. It is time for an immigration policy that permits temporary guest workers to fill jobs Americans will not take, that rejects amnesty, that tells us who is entering and leaving our country, and that closes the border to drug dealers and terrorists.

No recognition at all here from Bush that the vast majority of Americans favor stricter immigration enforcement against both "willing" employers who have put profits over national security and the willful illegal alien lawbreakers they are employing. No word of support for House Republican efforts to push for secure identification and asylum reform. Even Hillary would have done better.

Perhaps you missed this sentence of mine. Or, maybe you're deliberately not commenting on it.

Many of you FReepers on this very thread complain that immigrants (not just the illegal ones) drive down our wages and take our jobs but then you simultaneously bitch when business OWNERS take their capital and move it into another country, creating jobs there.

So, which was one was it, my fellow believer in Christ (assumption)?
