President Bush and House conservatives are on a collision course over the contentious issue of immigration reform, Rep. Tom Tancredo (R.-Colo.) said Thursday.
Tancredo, chairman of the House Immigration Reform Caucus and author of the REAL GUEST Act (HR 3333), said he expects Bush to embrace legislation drafted by Senators Teddy Kennedy (D.-Mass.) and John McCain (R.-Ariz.). Conservatives strongly oppose the bill, which Tancredo said is tantamount to amnesty.
Tancredo’s bill instead focuses on enforcement, particularly on companies that employ illegal immigrants. He said once illegal workers are denied jobs, they will no longer flood into the United States.
“If you stop illegal employment in this country—some big, high-profile cases with . . .

Oh, jeeshh...you're kidding...What with the Keystone Kops response to the Katrina disaster, and now the border being even less defended, it almost looks like we're inviting another....well, you fill in the blank...
"...He is miserable on foreign affairs..."
I suppose he would be for a Moslem.
hey "Alex",
sure still smarting from Kerry 'crashing and burning' arent ya?
LOL! Don't even get me started on that list :)
Yeah, before they had to drive the *blank* across any one of hundreds of unprotected dirt roads; now they can just use a main highway. If only Jorge would invite the "vigilantes" back to help us...

Actually, though you are technically correct, we generally refer to bayourod and his pro-illegal alien cabal as quislings.
Stab in the dark since you know them much better than I do. Are these the top five hot buttons which set the quislings off?
1. Tancredo
2. Buchanan (Pat or Bay)
3. Nethercott
4. illegal
5. alien
I see Tom's still trying to be heard despite the fact that there is a national disaster going on. Further proof that Tancredo is out of the loop.

Where is Mecca again?
Albania?
Whatever happened to "Homeland Security"? How much are we paying to have the semblance of security without (as we see both at the border and now in New Orleans) the reality? Bush's neglect of the borders has shaken my confidence in his leadership---his ad hoc approach to restoring order in, provisioning and evacuating NO, using assets (if Iscool's report is correct) that are needed every day at the borders and that are woefully inadequate as they are, has just about shattered it.
Those along with various other keywords like "borders", "immigration" and the like.
A national disaster called illegal immigration. Undefended borders. And he's being heard. Otherwise Bush wouldn't be out all of a sudden promising to "defend the borders" (altho' sounds like he didn't mean it), DeLay wouldn't be saying that immigration reform was DOA in the House until there was border security and immigration enforcement, and immigration wouldn't now be in the top ten issues Americans care most about, and moving quickly up to the top. It's the one issue Bush is most unpopular on. Bush better pay attention to the national disaster of immigration, or it's going to turn out to be a disaster for him politically.
Homeland Insecurity?
I saw photos yesterday and heard scuttlebutt about the BP being pulled... (and mentioned it earlier on this thread). Since they had "stand-down" orders when the MMP was here, and the pols around here have done nothing but interfere and hinder the agents from doing their work, why bother with the pretense of guarding our borders any more? NO is a good excuse. There are probably at least 22 nukes already here - let's get a few more to scare the public into agreeing to the CFR plan to merge our borders into a "secure perimeter" by 2010.
My confidence was shaken with the "vigilante" remark, and all my posters and stickers came down. This NO situation just confirms (to me) what is going on.
Here is the plan for us in case you haven't seen it:

That's what I meant by "inviting." They've got an agenda ready to go in Washington if one, two or 22 of 'em goes off in the near future, which, I agree, doesn't include securing or defending the national borders of the United States.
Yet another quisling pops its head up.
Meanwhile, I get to look forward to being patted down at the airport this weekend and my stuff possibly pawed through. I don't even recognize my own country anymore.
