Eh, I doubt it. The fact that DeLay is out there being so aggressive probably means that he represents the position the White House will take. I assume that Bush will quietly support a very tough reform policy. Admittedly, I never thought that up until I read DeLay's remarks. More often than not DeLay represents the President's point of view. I rather suspect this position that Tom is taking is designed more to get the Republicans through the mid-terms. If tough legislation isn't passed, signed and enacted BEFORE the mid-terms then you can probably be assured that there won't be anything favorable after the elections. Instead you will likely get an amnesty (aka guest worker) bill that Bush will be all too happy to sign. Get your part FIRST or be left holding the bag once again.

DeLay has been given the task of mollifying the anti-illegal group with tough words. They will be betrayed of course but they only have to be fooled until amnesty is passed.

I wonder if anyone has been arrested, and or deported? I believe the Republican leadership is beginning to realize the huge uprising in their traditional supporters for immigration law enforcement. Sooner or later someone will HAVE to address this issue, which I believe is the most critical issue we as a nation face at the current time.

You nailed it with your comments. As I mentioned in another response, the leadership is realizing that the traditional support is extremely upset at the lack of enforcement of our immigration laws. DeLay is blowing smoke until amnesty is passed.

Someone else seems to be speaking out now! That sounds very good. However, in the CAFTA agreement and the one that is coming down the pike, FTAA, any country that seeks to prohibit goods, services and people who come into the country to take advantage of these, can't be deported. Unless the so called "impartial tribunal of free traders" would agree to deportation.
I like his idea of withholding funds from cities who give sanction to illegals. I'd like it more if he'd stop Bush from redistributing our wealth to Mexico through out sourcing of high paying jobs, and welfare for every illegal in Mexico or the US.
Also, nothing will work until a lawsuit is brought up against the anchor baby crap. That's something these Republican politicians don't think the common American knows about. But we do!

DeLay said that if police rounded up illegals, the federal government would find places to house them. Man, I got all excited until I got to this part.
House them?
How about bussing them? Immediately. To the border. Dump them there.
Housing costs: zero.

Yes. Let's see if has the guts to actually stand fast on that issue.
My guess: Watch him run for the tall grass if GWB goes around berating this as "soft bigotry" or "vigilantism"...

...they're looking at the wrong solution. You can round up and deport illegals forever, they'll just come streaming back across the border.When worshiped with the same fervor as dogma, this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I find those theoretical contributions not very helpful; indeed unacceptable.
If we are forced to spend unnecessarily, I want at least to decide what to spend on, not to allow the criminal to add insult to injury.
I say spend it on the endless bus ride. One way. Towards the border. As many times as necessary.
Let the Mexican government pay for the hospitality facilities.
On their side of the border.
It may not be cheaper, but it can't last forever. And I have some satisfaction in at least feeling I have some say in the process.

Surely you know since you consider it to be a determinative number that will jolt a person awake.Sophistry.
Clearly, it is non-zero, and more a qualitative statement that a quantitative one.
Any answer greater than zero is unacceptable.

Too late.
He either pursues this, or he's done politically.

That is probably the worse, most self-damaging law we have.Correction.
At the risk of hijacking the thread, it is the most damaging interpretation of a Constitutional provision that we have.
There was a brief period in history when sanity prevailed and the provision was not deemed to apply to foreign nationals, illegal travelers and foreign agents.
Consider this scenario: Achmed travels (illegaly) with a pregnant woman deemed his wife. His mission? Kill as many Americans as possible. If that woman drops a little Achmed at any time before or after the deed, most here on FR and most courts would consider little Achmed a legal anchor baby.

Hopefully both DeLay and Tancredo will escape media attempts to destroy them and coast to reelection next year.

Round them up? In Texas we aren't allowed to even ask people if they are citizens before they register to vote.
Glad to hear some things may be changing.
