We should also repeal clean air, clean water, 40 hour work weeks and child labor and arrest more people for prison factories. Then at last we can properly compete with the Chinese.

Amen, brother, Amen.

Large groups of illegal aliens enter the US with ease every day.


They leave a trail of trash that extends for miles.

As long as the borders are the wild west ANY amnesty will produce another (bigger) tsunami of illegals.

He argued that his proposal for a "guest worker" program is good for employers and illegal immigrants who want a mutually beneficial relationship. What illegalities will he tolerate from U. S. Citizens, I wonder?

I am not entirely against a fair guest worker program. However, this claim that there are jobs that Americans won't do is an outright lie. Its a way to avoid free market enterprise and flaut the marketplace laws. Quite simply, these are jobs that refuse to pay market price for labor and instead go to the black market, and even encourage the black market.

Exactly. I get harassed over a seatbelt and these people are welcomed with open arms?

There are so many things I would like to say to GWB right now, but won't because I don't want to get banned.

Right now, the Government has a Catch 22 because some of the illegal immigrant laborers are need and there are no legal replacements.

Sorry, no illegal immigrant laborers are needed and there are plenty of replacements.

Help Americans?

How is letting 1.5 million undocumented people into the country a help?

How is forcing taxpayers to cover medical care and housing for people who are here illegally and don't pay INTO the system a help?

How is it a help that 340,000 pounds of drugs were confiscated in one month alone by border control agents a help considering that most of the drugs gets into the country?

How is it a help that Mexican gangs are committing violent crimes in this country?

Is there not one Congresscritter with a national name going to have the guts to stand up and admit we have a problem?

On the illegal alien issue, he's earned it. It can't be harsh enough.

Make that three now. Although I certainly will never ever vote for a RAT, I find it hard to fathom working for the GOP any time soon again.

CFR plan to integrate the hemisphere

But there's no freaking integration. That's the crime. We can't go there. We can hardly even go there to vacation any more the crime against Americans is getting so bad... I wouldn't go there. But they can sure as he!! come here! I can't go there to work or own property but they can sure as he!! come here! It's all one way. That's not integration. That's not cooperation. That's not bringing them up to our level. That's bringing us down to theirs. Welcome to the turd world, friends. Not just for the next neighborhood over any more, I suppose.

Guest worker programs for law-abiding foreigners should be encouraged.

By the way, I am a foreigner myself, but I have a BIG issue with illegal immigration / breaking the law.
