WASHINGTON - In a meeting with members of Congress, President Bush said he needs to do a better job explaining his position on immigration changes, House Majority Leader Tom Delay said Wednesday.

"He admitted he hasn't done a very good job in being clear to the American people where he's coming from, and he's going to try to do better," said Delay, who attended the White House session where the president discussed his legislative agenda.

I still believe in "the melting pot" & think all should be able to LEGALLY immigrate to the US.

Fine, then let every Mexican freely immigrate to the US. Problem solved.

Bush has blown it big time on illegals immigration, I don't trust him at all anymore,

He's blown it on everything but judicial appointments and it's taken him five years to get his ass in gear on that.

BS .. he's been crystal clear.

He's just been one wrong-headed and bull-headed SOB.

"Keep in mind the amnesty bill that may clear the way for alien / non-citizen voting."

Also keep in mind that, when and if that happens, the federal government becomes an illegitimate government.

I just did a little research....Cornyn has also gotten tougher on the illegals/border issue.

It'd be nice if they realized that as well.

I'd prefer he didn't talk the talk.

Talk the talk!

J,J, & M. He's on the tube every damn day lately and never says anything worth the time.

He obviously knows he's (like Dad) in deep doo doo, but other than social issues he's a total loser!

I predict a large setback for the GOP in 2006, based on the fillibuster failure + immigration. I think the GOP conservative focus in 2006 will be more in defeating RINOs than Democrats.

BINGO!

Unfortunately, you are right. The GOP gets crushed as conservatives throw in the towel:

1] GOP failed to protect our national sovereignty

2] Spineless once again on the filibuster, et al.

You know what our hope is now? Our only hope is that Free Republic.com and other sources of conservatives lead us into a 2nd American Revolution. Our only hope is with the people of this nation--grassroots conservatives, taxpayers and decent people who love freedom--to step forward and demand our nation be returned to us.

If we fail to have a 2nd American Revolution, we lose it all. The GOP has thrown up the French-like white surrender flag.

Yeah I am clueless. Wejust had a hospital close near me because illegals were not paying for care. Hundreds of jobs were lost. I see, this is a good thing.

The GOP can still save themselves. Whether they save our nation, is another issue completely. 2006 will be a pivotal election year.

You are right.

Even Tancredo says do a guest worker program and then when done, they go back to their home country?

Say what???

How many people are in this country illegally since they have failed to return after their VISA's ran out? I dated TWO women in this situation before I found out they were illegal.

There is no politician in this nation that is on our side. Even Tancredo has thrown in the towel and wants illeagal aliens to work here.

It is time we all start thinking about a 2nd American Revolution. We no longer have representatives who are fighting for our survival as a nation.

Free Republic.com was founded originally to help impeach Bill Clinton. I hope Free Republic gets a new Mission Statement and that we are part of a groundswell of Americans who want to preserve our nation, reclaim our nation, and prevent our nation from the pending third-world status we are heading for, and the only way to fo this is through a 2nd American Revolution.

We need to realize one thing--we have no representatives--NONE-- who are fighting to preserve our nation.

I live in NY on the Bronx border. I see 100's of these people every morning blocking traffic, j walking, and just changing the whole landscape. Everyone I know is fed up, yet we get stupid idiots whp try to convince us white is black and black is white.

These invaders are doing what the Soviets never could on their own.

Iscool could be right.

That poll you showed refuting "Iscool" can't be taken seriously.

Think about this--80% of the counties in the nation are red. However, the election in 2000 and 2004 was the closest ever/very close.

The point? If you took a poll among taxpayers and third generation legal residents, I bet 80% do believe what "Iscool" said. The poll refuting those numbers include how many illegal aliens, or second generation people from illegal aliens, and how many bums or nontaxpayers?

Second, how was the poll worded?

Example:

"Do you agree that President Reagan was correct in bombing little old helpless Libya?" 42% agree.

"Do you agree that Libya infringed on international waters and provoked our warships in the region and Reagan was correct in defending our right to internation waters.?" 88% agree.

Get the point? Polls are only as good as their wording. Before you refute "Iscool", think about these two points. BTW, while at it, add a third point--most grunts who work for polling companies are more than likely RATs, as the type of job and pay puts them in the RAT constituent-likely category. How can you even trust a poll knowing that RATs probably are dishonest about the answers they are given? I'd say about every poll is 5% biased against the "conservative side of the issue" simply due to fraud internally by polling people doing the grunt work, or in the case of NBC/CBS/ABC/ NYTIMES etc liberal/socialist organizations, fraud at the very top.

If CBS twists the truth (Bush memo) for their own political beliefs, can we not assume they twist the truth on the polls they take?

For the record, "Iscool", I would believe your figure is correct since 80% of the counties in this nation are red, I would believe 80% feel that way about this issue.
