Officers of the law being told not to enforce the law. What a country.

Quote:

The above map shows illegal aliens apprehended in southwest U.S. Border Patrol sector from January to March, 2004, as compared with the same period in 2003. A 51% increase occurred along the east and central Arizona border, coupled with a 60% increase along the southwestern Arizona border and a 38% increase in San Diego.

What...no cash restitution? My sympathy to the men of the HPD.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Whoever drew the map knows little about the locations of McAllen and Laredo, Texas.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Or Tucson.

Bush yesterday criticized people who expressed their concerns regarding Alberto Gonzales as a Supreme Court nominee.

This is ominous.

The fact that he and Bush are friends has absolutely nothing to do with his qualifications for office.

I guess Bush isn't getting the message and this illegal invader problem which the leftist press continues to falsely label an "immigrant" problem is essentially a Federal issue.

The Federal Government has the authority and power to stop it, and to bring pressure to bear on local jurisdictions which ignore Federal laws on illegal invaders by withholding Federal aid funds.

Gonzales is clearly a proponent of this program as he has refused to effectively utilize the power of his position of attorney general to take steps to stop this situation.

He must never be appointed to the Federal Bench.

As Bush appears deaf to complaints about Gonzales, we must bombard ALL our Federal reps with letters opposing Gonzales to the Federal Bench. When writing Repubs, identify yourself as a Republican. When writing Dems, do not mention any political affiliation, or describe yourself as an "independent".

after an incident last month prompted an outcry from an immigrant rights group.

They mean illegal immigrant rights group. Illegals have rights too. The right to a swift and humane deportation with the possibility of future legal immigration forfeited.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

What I heard was President Bush defending a friend, not a Supreme Court nominee.

[ZULU]

And the criticisms levelled against Gonzales were as a Supreme Court nominee, not as a human being or friend.

Bush had better get the message.

If Jeb Bush has any aspirations for the Presidency, a miscalcualtion by his brother on this sensitive issue will kill it.

And a clear message to our elected representatives about who we want or don't want in the SCOTUS is a Constitutional right.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Let's see who he nominates before you decide to string anyone up.

He may have more than one SC Justice slot to fill.

[ZULU]

Time will tell.

But I don't care if Bush has nine vacanies to fill - none of them are suitable for Mr. Gonzales in my opinion and I have every right to tell Bush so, and my representatives.
Presidents shouldn't be appointing people to positions on Federal Bench based on personal friendship.

And I'm not "stringing up" anybody. Reports of Mr. Gonzales' position on a whole host of issues are numerous and unsettling, and his handling of border collapse as Attorney General is appalling.

[Godebert]

"What I heard was President Bush defending a friend, not a Supreme Court nominee."

Too bad Bush doesn't protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America with the same zeal.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I wasn't talking about "stringing up" "Attorney General Gonzales.

I was talking about this rush to bash Bush.

[ZULU]

I'm not "Bashing Bush".

I voted for him twice and campaigned for him.

But he's the President, not an Emperor, and subject to criticism when he is wrong and prise when he's right.

His handling of the border situation goes beyond gross incompetence. His continual pandering to Vicente Fox is nauseating. And his failure to more vigorously explain to the unwashed masses again and again the very valid reasons which justify our presence in the Middle East is inexplicable.


I hope he uses the recess appointment to get Bolton into the U.N. and does something to muzzle those renagade Judases inhis own party like McCain.

Thread got HIJACKED!

Cops taking pictures of potential law-breakers has been routine everywhere for 50 years. Not only is it a deterrent to those photoed to cause problems, it gives the cops a photo to show a witness in case someone does act up.

The cops apologized (?) and won't do it anymore! I never did glean from the article what the actual bitch to the cops was. Intimidation? Whatever, it's PC BS.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

......His continual pandering to Vicente Fox is nauseating........

Specifics please.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Amazing, isn't it? We're subject to cameras and face ID but illegal immigrants must be sheltered! Outrageous!

U.S. citizens mobilize to protect portions of the U.S. border being inundated by foreign illegal invaders.

The Mexican government mobilizes ITS army - to DEFLECT their illegal invaders from those sections of the U.S. border so protected, to other areas of the U.S. Mexican border which can be more easily violated. Conspiring and acting to violate the borders of another country is an act of war. What has Bush done? Nothing.

The Mexican government provides asylum to illegal invaders of the U.S. who have killed American citizens and what does Bush do? Nothing.

The Mexican government provides information, aid and assistance to its own nationals and those of other nations who seek to violate U.S Borders and what does Bush do? Nothing.
