US/Mexico Border fence

Build a wall/fence that secures our borders first. Without that, current immigration law and proposed reforms won't work.

[doc]

"Bottom line - Bush and McCain are both immigration leftists, are both for amnesty and both for the eventual merge of the USA with Mexico."

Everyone needs to realize that once these immigrants are here, illegally or part of a guest worker program, they are NOT going home. They can obtain false documentation that even the FBI has a hard time deciphering its authenticiy. If a mexican is here on a guest worker program for a year, what is to stop him from taking off 50 weeks into the year and disappearing only to resurface under a new name with false identification?

Do not accept a guest worker program. Vote Tancredo or the constitution party before it is to late.

I don't know what you read in any of my posts, that suggest, that I'm anti Bush, or as you posted: "GW IS the worse thing to happen to our country in it's history, I believe."

Before you stick your foot in the wrong place...again, I recommend you go back, and re read what was written in my posts. If you've been flamed because your a George W. Bush hater, that's your problem. So don't attempt to dump your anti Bush rant onto me and expect sympathy.

To further clarify where I'm coming from, I'm a Conservative Pro-Life Republican, that believe in God, Family and Country. I support President Bush, Dick Cheney, our military, the war in afghanistan, Iraq, and yes, Wal-Mart and Haliburton too.

In conclusion, I suggest, you find another web site to post your crap, because the Free Republic, is as advertised...Conservative Republican.

How do we round up a few million illegals and send them back? We'll still have non guestworkers.

Enforce laws against hiring illegal. Soon the invasion will stop, and slowly by attraction the illegal population will be reduced.

Damm and I just wanted to lurk. LOL

George W. Bush hater, [...] dump your anti Bush rant [...] expect sympathy.

Wait a minute! Are you here to discuss politics or to promote your love to the leader? Why should it matter so much whether someone loves or hates GWB or does not care about him?

Does this mean that we will be paid SS in Pesos?

I believe the questions are: Are you for, or against America; Are you with, or against us. Are you A. Pole a Bush hater too?

If you are all of the above, then, go to hell!!!

OK, I am for America and I do not care very much for Bush. I do not hate him and I do not love him.

If you are all of the above, then, go to hell!!!

So should I "go to hell"?

400,000 worker permits, but anyone who applies will have immunity from deportation during the application process. Since the process is likely to take years to complete, effectively anyone who applies, and I don't see any reason why they won't, will be covered. Unless of course they can not work until the application is approved, but that would be silly because they can stay but must starve.

In your dreams..........I was born and raised in a Yellow Dog Democrat county, and I can tell you there is no difference in them and the blind obedient following of the RINO's that populates this board.

……..who think the economy needs the workers, ….

The agricultural plantations of the 1800 needed slaves to maintain their economy.

Should we bring back slavery? OH never mind we have, only they are now called bacerros(sp) or guest workers.

Good idea we should expand slavery into all business sectors.

While we are at it maybe we should only count the population of the boarder states as 2/3(not sure if correct fraction).

How could I have been so wrong in my thinking thank you GWB for the enlightenment.

[Smartass]

The original posts started with "illegal immigration," of which I disagree with the administration's handling thereof, and evolved into Bush hating...Ridiculous how words and sentences are parsed, then end up as hate. You came into this thread defending a Bush hater! I've stated my position, and You've stated part of yours, so what is the rest of your point, or that has to do with "illegal immigration"?

[Aquakat]

I still say - let's dump our newly released criminals into Mexico - and let's see if Vincente Fox doesn't suddenly try to work something out to stop us from sending our undesirables into his country!

About four years ago in So Cal, a sheriffs deputy was shot and killed by a Mexican citizen (think illegal not sure) who was once deported. After the killing this person escaped into Mexico. The government of Mexico is refusing to extradite him because he will be subjected to the death penalty or life imprisonment. The Mexican government thinks that 8 years is the max that should be given.

Doesn’t seem to me that Mexico cares who lives in their country to me.

BTW, after repeated attempts by the wife of the late deputy, GWB has refused to help.

Trolls should be ID'd and booted!!!

Smartass, Where do I begin? OK, so I'll stick my foot in in the wrong place again --IMHO GWB IS THE WORSE THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR BEAUTIFUL AMERICA IN OUR HISTORY.

He has managed to allow II's to take over a majority part of our education system in many states, allowed II's a 30%+ stake on our prison system, the majority of public funding for uninsured medical claims is going toward II's, millions are streaming across our southern border yearly and no one knows how many are terrorists. I voted for GWB twice as TX gov, and twice as Pres, but based upon his actions/lack of action while in office, I do not believe his is intelligent enough to clean my cats liter box. The real sad part about this whole fiasco is how many of our elected officials are turning a blind eye to our problems with II just as GWB. FOLLOW THE MONEY

[Aquakat]

even though we would allow them to stay.

Why???

If I stole a candy bar (not a felony) from the store because I was a diabetic. I now have been crime free for X years do I now have claim to that candy bar? Is that candy bar owed to me am I entitled ?

[Smartass]

The thread and issue was "Illegal immigration." Your off on unrelated issues that have little or nothing to do with the illegal invasion of our Southern border. I disagree with him on this one item also. But please don't mix up, or equate disagreement with hate.

I believe many people fail to realize, that G.W. Bush has a lot on his plate to deal with. We're in a life and death world war, much different than WWII, Korea, or Vietnam. We could have gas, and food rationing instead of guns and butter! However, back on subject, there are no excuses for an unguarded Southern border.

[Happy2BMe]

I see there is much strong debate over who is for or against open borders and why. This debate must occur before and until the problem is either fixed or those who refuse to fix it are removed and replaced by those who will.

In the interim, our nation is literally being colonized by a foreign nation.

Actions (and inactions) speak much louder than words folks . .

"This is your immigration control program Mr. President."

Politicians--Democrat and Republican alike---who fail to heed the anger of the people concerning this issue will soon find themselves "former elected" officials!

Bush wants a guest worker program and a border secured against terrorists. Any thing else will be window dressing and will be actively worked against after it is enacted.
