We have to do something about this...This problem is destroying our country. Tom is one of the few politicians who even talks about!......
That's it in a nutshell yet it is like the Elephant in the corner - No one will spell out what they are going to do about it.
I agree, it seems no one in this administration is taking border control as a security issue seriously!
bttt
Tancredo is right.
No doubt the usual race pimps will show up soon and accuse him and we who agree with him of being racists.
The racists are the ruling class of Mexico, who are happy to rid themselves of the Mestizo population and prosper their corrupt regime in the process.
Mexico needs regime change.
This is the #1 issue I oppose George Bush on, even more than Campaign Finance.
I have ZERO confidence in the government to resolve this issue. Given the government's well established track record how can we possibly trust them to enforce ANY of the new proposals being bantered about? In addition to that, it seems incredibly naive to believe that all illegals will immediately conform to any new legislation that is passed. The only way to deal with this is to seriously pursue and prosecute those who hire illegals. It's the only way the government cans stand to regain our trust. Remember Reagan's 1986 betrayal - talk about deja vu!
I was taking part in a thread last night that got out of hand and was pulled as these threads sometimes do.
One point I tried to make is that by some estimates a full 5% or more of our population is of the illegal immigrant variety and there are those in this country that are just fine with that.
What would these same people say if they woke to a news report telling them that overnight an invading force of that size entered the country. They would be screaming for our elected leaders to do something to get them out of here.
Rove in a streak of brilliance has triangulated Bush as some messianiac liberal cult leader, cutting off the lefties from their spiritual honey pot, but this is only a short term benefit and it is for Bush and his cronies only, we get the bill when these people head off to Davos to live in their well guarded villas.
Yes, is is a divisive issue and not one for the thin-skinned. Rush Limbaugh is right in his estimation that this stands to fracture the party. It pits those who put respect for the law first against those who put economics above all else. I'll maintain that a sound economy can only exist when built upon a just and trustworthy legal system - Witnessing our our legal and moral integrity eroding at an alarming rate, I'm clear about which which side I'm on.
Bush better do something before most of our middle class and working class jobs are destroyed along with our economy. There is a crisis looming like no other crisis.
That's the rub...Republicans won't go after the businesses and the demoncats don't care because they want their vote......leaving the taxpayer to deal with it all...Bullshit comes to mind.......
Tom, please re-read the Constitution.
Article I, Section 8 Powers of Congress, Cl 15
To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions:
You and the rest of members of Congress don't have to wait for the President to "commit troops to the border."
Step up to the plate and begin to insist that your fellow members of Congress do the job they were sworn to do and call up the Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California militias to repel the invasion.
On Immigration Tom Tancredo is much closer to being Right
than President Bush is.Irecall someone claiming they would
rather be right than President,once. As for the Bush comment about the Mexican nationals taking jobs Americans
wont --I can recall when one could go to any motel and the
staff all spoke the lingua franca(English) now--in Denver
it is difficult to find any hotel where the staff-with the
singular exception of the reception desk,most often speak
Spanish.Borders ,Language, and Culture are a p poor tradeooff for cheap and easy to abuse labor from Mexico--
nobody every explains WHY that old Fox will not provide work for his own people.
It's corruption on both sides of the aisle.
This sums up the problem pretty much. Also how unstable does the USA have to become to keep the corrupt Mexican oligarchs in power.
Southern California is already gone, as anyone who lives here knows. Talk about an invading force; formerly attractive, middle-class neighborhoods are becoming gang-infested, blighted, graffiti-riddled turdholes at an alarming rate...mine included.
How many more states fall before our so-called "leaders", so secure in their ivory towers, finally get it??
