dubya needs to get with the program; he has done little or nothing to ameliorate this problem. anger and resentment is palpable in many western states and more.
i have supported him faithfully, as i believe he has been unflinching in the war on terror, but, for some reason, he has a weak spot where illegals are concerned.
it is possible republicans can lose an election in many states over this single issue. it is THE issue next election.

Struggling to pacify his party's warring wings, President Bush is moving toward allowing illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. before February 2004 to qualify for guest-worker visas. People smuggled in after then would be deported. This insanity must be defeated at all costs. If conservatives, who elect these people into office cannot keep them from imposing unwanted policies on us and the country then there's no use in staying in the party is there?

"Turn yourself in so we can send you back to Mexico," said McCain, throwing his head back in laughter............."
Has he read his own bill? It's every bit the knee-slapper.

I will support this "new" amnesty program if 100% of all Bush family asettes are included in the bill to pay the costs of these lawbreakers..... And the assettes of any other politico who chooses to support such a plan.
But that will never happen - it's not in their personal best interest.
We gripe all the time here about the DemocRATs often blatant conflict of interest/being bought and paid for by special interests, etc. Well, someone please convince me that GW and family are not in the same type of conflict here. They may not personally rely on illegals for their family fortune, but they obviously have friends and supporters (read that financial) that DO use illegals extensively. Otherwise, why would these people be so eager to throw away our nation's laws and sovereignty?
I place the lack of enforcement of our borders very close to the same level of treason as Clintoon's giveaway (sale) of our missile technology.
Right now, I am in favor of a new Joseph McCarthy - but this time, instead of a campaign to expose communists (although that would likely come out too!), this effort would be to expose treason by our nation's "leaders". The Clintons, the Bush family (don't anyone say they are totally innocent), and all other politicians and public figures who support the giveaway of our national sovereignty - regardless of their supposed political party or association.
But - we will continue on the road of "Status Quo" and one day in the not-so-distant future, we will wake up an say "what happened to our country".

Ron Fournier had an orgasm writing this article. He and his DNC bosses know that the illegal alien issue is ripping the GOP to shreds.
I, for one, cannot comprehend how a President who has sworn to upon the Constitution to protect this nation from foreign and domestic enemies can sit back and shrug his shoulders at the dangerous illegal problem.
We don't owe illegals anything. There shouldn't even be discussion of a "guest-worker" program.

The only divide I see is between "we the people" and the congresscritters who infest DC. I got news for them, thinly disguised amnesty programs ain't gonna fly this time.

"It's sad to see Democrats doing what Republicans ought to be doing," Danielle Taylor, 24, a Republican voter in Scottsdale, said during a break from her bank job. "Napolitano may have just earned my vote." The sad thing is this uninformed woman hasn't been paying attention to all the anti illegal immigration legislation "Butch," has vetoed in the last 6 months.

Bush and his advisers are caught between their supporters in the business sector, who believe the economy needs those workers, and conservatives whose priority is to clamp down on illegal immigration.Nice try at covering for him, but that excuse doesn't fly. If the economy needs immigrant workers, then they can come here legally. There is never, ever an excuse for rewarding lawbreakers. The only people who'd be in favor of this are the ones who want to erase the border altogether.

The White House may take the unusual step of writing the legislation or submitting specific language to Congress. The failed President of Mexico, Vicente Fox, will dictate the legislation, of course.
GWBush and those who came before him, with the help of traitors in Congress, have sold America out.

"From construction companies in Arizona to farmers in the Midwest and California, many industries need those cheap and available workers."
Problem is they are Illegal immigrants because they can be fired on the spot with no recourses. Americans need not apply.
My brother is a crew chief and will not hire Americans. Plenty apply but all for naught. If he hires them they want raises for good work, they want extra pay for jobs far away, but worse of all if he fires them they oft times sue.
With the Mexicans he just fires them when they stop working hard or injury themselves. Where as an American gets workers comp.
These are Jobs Americans would love to have but have no chance at. They paid over $20 / hour until they were all replaced with Illegals. Now they par $10 / hour.
Make these illegals legal and they will also demand more money, sue when fired and demand workers comp. At least Americans will then have a chance of getting a job and the wages will go up.
By the way even though wages are way down home cost way more. Only the big companies make more money off these illegals. The taxpayers and everyone else gets soaked.

Bush and his advisers are caught between their supporters in the business sector, who believe the economy needs those workers, ... These are not ordinary, legal 'workers', these are illegal aliens.
Make that sentence "Bush and his advisers are caught between their supporters in the business sector, who believe the economy needs these illegal workers, ..." to see how absurd this sounds. American businesses do not need to be breaking the law to hire these illegals, and the president should not be proposing ways for businesses to profit from their illegal activities.
The president, as the head of the executive, should be enforcing our immigration laws against those who are blatantly flouting them by sneaking across our borders and those who are encouraging them by hiring them (and those who are now trying to encourage them to buy homes with mortgage money that largely comes from the GSEs.)

We're being sold out and the only ones who are even bothering to attempt to address the issue are the frickin' Democrats for pity's sake!
If this crap keeps up, we may as well kiss the White House and the Congress goodbye in 2008.

Conservative House Republicans tend to favor Kyl's tougher approach. McCain mocks it. "Turn yourself in so we can send you back to Mexico," said McCain, throwing his head back in laughter during an interview at his Arizona office last week. "It's not going to happen." The White House seems to agree with McCain. YEH!! McCAin officially put the nail in the coffin of a potential '08 run for the White House - "I'm John McCain, and I want to be your yellow-bellied President to chicken to enforce our laws."
HA!
