"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."

Sucker born every minute.

Ping. Support your position.

"In a nod to his conservative base, however, the president has rejected a part of the McCain-Kennedy bill that the White House believes would put illegal immigrants on an automatic track to citizenship, the officials said."

This is good though.

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.

What, they come in with a time stamp? How can an administration and a congress be so dense? McCain is right we can't just deport them but we don't have to, they will deport themselves once all aid (health, education, welfare, etc) is cut off and the job market dries up. The real solution is with the employeers. Make it was too expensive to hire illegals and we won't have the problem we have today.

It's time to send a DIRECT message to the Republican Party...
YOU'RE NOT SHOWING UP FOR US, SO WE'RE NOT SHOWING UP FOR YOU!

I will not go to the polls until the Republicans act to INFORCE OUR LAWS. It begins this November 2005 with the elections here in California. Even if we passed Arnold's Props, the liberal courts would block the voter's will. It really doesn't make any difference anyway, so why not send a clear message to the Republican Party. If turnout was in the single digits, I think they might just get it this time.

It is sad really. It's like you can see the train coming, and no matter how much you yell at your friends, they will just not get off the tracks.


This party is DETERMINED to be a minority party. They are practically DEMANDING to be trounced in the next two elections.


Someone pass the popcorn. Baby! Get me a beer, I don' wanna be sober for this.

[Czar]

Not good enough.

This government cannot be trusted to follow through on whatever it promises involving the invasion of illegal aliens across our southern border.

Neither Bush, Homeland Security, nor the Hispandering GOP Big Tent of RINOs, liberals and moderates can ever be trusted on this issue.

_Intelligence agencies fear terrorists could slip into the U.S. through Mexico.

_Hundreds of illegal immigrants die each year while trying to enter the U.S. Those who make it often fall prey to criminals and opportunists.


Two convincingly good reasons for constructing a linear border structure - immediately.

[Tench_Coxe]

The answer to President Bush would still be 'no'.

[balch3]

It's important for Congress not to get out in front of the President on this. He's the head of the country and the party. They should let him take the lead.

"...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."

Without DOCUMENTATION, how can an illegal alien prove that unless he/she gets an employer to admit to a felony? Besides, if they claim they just walked over the border and weren't "smuggled" in - do they get to stay?

Grasp for another straw.

[Fawn]

Why isn't JEB doing anything about illegals? And some people suggested he run for prez? I like Jeb for many reasons...but he is married to an hisapanic who steals and does nothing to hinder the illegals in this state.

[Condor51]

McCain is a plucking ashhole.

First he mocks Kyl's plan:
"Turn yourself in so we can send you back to Mexico," said McCain, throwing his head back in laughter

And THEN he thinks this will work:
"McCain's bill would require the undocumented workers to register with the government, pay all back taxes and a $2,000 fine, then go through a series of background checks...

Now excuuuuuuuse me you pecker wood, but if the illegals won't do the first, they SURE AS HELL 'ain't' going to do the last. And that's because McBrainiac - THEY'RE freaking CRIMINALS, Law Breakers you *&^%head!

Besides the immigration violation, on a DAILY BASIS they commit: Mail Fraud, Bank Fraud, Wire Fraud, Identity Theft, Tax Evasion, Forgery, and 77 gazillion state and local traffic law violations the minute they start "their car" - and those are the "hard working", so-called 'law abiding' ones! Furthermore, if a U.S. citizen, or lawful legal resident alien committed the same crimes WE'D be dong 35 to life in state and Federal prisons!

And Mr "all knowing 'senator' from GD Bizarro World, just were the HELL do you think an illegal making $8.00 to $12.00 an hour is; 1) going to GET the money to pay tens of thousands (hell maybe even a $100K for some who've been here decades) in back taxes AND 2) a $2000.00 fine. Huh from where? What are you going to give them "government grants"?!?

( I hate your slimy guts you maggot)

[Raider220]

When the Whig party refused to deal with the issues of Union and slavery in 1860, they were usurped in their position as a major party by the republicans.

Now that the republican party refuses to deal with the important issues of the day, MOST importantly illegal immigration, who will take their place? Where can a true conservative go to be represented in their beliefs? How do we make a momentum towards what the vast majority of us believe, and if not change the party lines, then at least force the republican party to be serious?

We're suffering from success right now. Why change the MO when we're winning elections? The Democrat party is dying of itself.

[philetus]

I'm curious what everybody thinks the 8 to 12 million illegals in the U.S. will do if Bush said they had to go?
