That's the point of this! GWB could care not a bit about average Americans other than in rhetoric and patriotic speeches. This plan is meant to drive down wages across the board to bring them in line with Mexico, South America, and Canada.

I feel so dumb to believe that after 9/11 and 3000 of our citizens died that a "conservative" GOP president would have taken care of one our most obvious and pressing issues affecting national security.

"If you are a willing employer (and) you have somebody looking for work and you can't find an American, there ought to be a legal way for you to employ that person,"

Obviously there are many crimes which Americans are unwilling to commit, since 30% of our prisons are populated with these wonderful, hard working "immigrants".

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT GAINING CONTROL OF OUR BORDERS???

Five minutes after a massive terrorist attack or an American Beslan is determined to have been initiated by terrorists who walked across the border.

What a sad joke that nonsense is. Employers also love illegals because they know an illegal be less likely to recourse or redress if they get screwed out of wages or gets hurt on the job.

Don't feel dumb. Read Fr; a lot of people were taken in by the system, and ARE being taken in.

Fact is, politics is run by the golden rule: he who has the gold makes the rules. The banks and the big corporate suits pay for election campaigns. We do not. The math is simple.

I can not believe they are still repeating this. Do they have any idea how much this pisses people off?

It doesn't piss off his circle of friends and allies. Those who pay the REAL salaries call the tune.

"Our soldiers are fighting terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan and getting killed and hurt doing it, yet those lunatics can just stroll right in here from Mexico at will if they so desire."



This is why the war is turning into a mockery and those of us who used to support Bush can no longer do so. We were betrayed within a couple of weeks of voting for him when he called the Minutemen vigilantes, and went right back to his best friend Vincente. Read this to see Bush's true agenda: http://www.eagleforum.org/column/2005/july05/05-07-13.html

Meanwhile, he is only allowing a PC war controlled by liberals, instead of going in and nuking/seriously bombing the scum, our young men - the hope of our nation - are dying, and for what? for what? Anyone can just stroll right across the American border. Not even stroll - they can drive the nukes or whatever over. Muslim prayer rugs and books have already been found plenty of times in the desert down here, there are hundreds of thousands OTMs running loose, and we are in a war? Most of us can see through the lies now, unless one is still brainwashed by the globalist agenda.

Meanwhile, the numbers of illegals crossing skyrockets every time a mention of the non-amnesty happens. Seems they know exactly what this means and are all rushing in for a piece of our pie.

Its called CFR plan to integrate the hemisphere and totally ruin any chance at securing our border.

Bush agrees with them on integrating the North American countries, there's no doubt in my mind. The fight to stop the insanity will be in Congress.

The only "excuse" the government has for not upholding Federal Laws is fact lobbyist pay checks.

And that is a fact of life in modern American politics when you need millions of dollars to get elected to Congress.

If I were Emperor of the United States, all campaign contributions would be considered bribery and 10 local cable channels would be set aside so that political candidates could talk themselves blue in the face free of charge.

The lobbyists now bribe Congress-critters to ignore illegal immigration because they need a certain number of workers in certain occupations that they just can't get in the U.S.

Bush's guest worker program addresses that economic need and illuminates the lobbyist need to bribe Congress to ignore illegal immigration.

That's exactly what it's aimed for, not for minimal wagers, they'll continue using illegals (why would they stop?) but for the higher end employee positions, utilizing people who aren't going to be running across the border and who are limited by Congress mandated H1-B levels. Kiss it all good bye.

they will do that of course, the jobs in those areas they already don't have plans to offshore of course.

if this passes, its the end of the US private sector middle class. our middle class will consist of government workers.
