Bush selling out America
By: FREEMAN SAWYER
George Bush cares nothing about the security of the United States. He is selling out our country every day. No matter what some may say about his efforts in other areas, he continues to destroy our country simply out of greed. The national security of our country is critical to our survival, and no explanation can justify the president's refusal to defend our borders.
When Bill Clinton sold U.S. classified computer technology to the Chinese, we vowed to never forget his crime. Bush's continuing treachery is every bit as bad, or worse. When did party loyalty become more important than saving our country? True patriots put country before party.
Normally, I am the last one to give up on a person, and I have been secretly hoping for the president's conscience to kick in before it's too late. However, I cannot continue to stand idly by with the stakes so high and the danger too close.
Perhaps there are still a few Republicans out there who will continue to wear their blinders as our country becomes populated by masses who come here full of hate for us and what we stand for.
I can hear their excuses even now: "I know Bush was wrong on illegal immigration, but look how tough he stayed on Iraq."
Winning in Iraq won't mean a thing if we lose the battle at home. One without the other is not victory. George Bush has already begun the destruction of the Republican Party because of illegal immigration. The survival of the party will be meaningless if we become another Mexico ---- corrupt and impoverished. How would you like Nuevo Laredo to be your hometown?
Information about Bush's latest "guest worker plan" is starting to seep out. Those now in the country illegally get a free pass to stay permanently. New guest workers will be allowed to stay for six years before they go home ---- but who will make them go? For the past five years, Bush has failed to deport people, even when he knows they are here illegally.
Who will have the political courage to deport guest workers after they have been here six years? Most Americans are demanding no guest workers "who only come here to do jobs Americans won't do because they just want a better life for themselves and their family." More than 80 percent of Americans are demanding Bush seal the border at once, but his plan does no such thing because the rich contributors to the Republican Party have become addicted to cheap labor.
Does anyone really believe Bush's plan will solve the illegal immigration problem? This plan only proves that greed is a higher priority than the opinion of most Americans, their common sense and their national security.
And, what about those who continue to cross illegally? There is no provision in the plan for how long it will be until they are granted amnesty.
Bush's appointment of a highly underqualified person, Julie Myers, to head Immigration and Customs Enforcement is just one more example of the arrogance of this president. The primary duty of ICE is to apprehend alien terrorists. Why would he select a person lacking experience to head this mammoth national security and law enforcement agency if his plan wasn't for it to fail?
Did he not learn anything from the FEMA debacle? Of course, he did. Failure is what he wants, because failure to enforce our immigration laws is what he most desires.

Well put.
Hence, nothing is going to change. And I'm speaking as a legal immigrant from Canada.
" I'm gonna have to agree. "
I'm with you !
I think maybe the greed he is talking about, is not necessarily personal, individual profit.
You are correct! We fought hard to finally gave the RINO's the power to change things. For the most part, all they have shown us is they are merely more hogs feeding from the trough.
Simple minds think alike.
I give up. Who?
Many things that this administration has done has surprised the conservative wing of the party, overspending for one, the rest of it, the illegal immigration issue, welfare for the katrina evacuees,katrina and cruise ships, homes built special for katrina evacuees, all of that is making a lot of people nervous.
What a loon. Bush bashing in the morning...smells like defeat!
"I wish the writer had given a reason that Bush would want to do this." -Carolyn
I DEMAND the writer, evidently a mindreader, give reasons why Bush is ignoring the border crisis. I do not attribute "greed" nor powerlust to Pres. Bush' character nor to his subconscious motives. The border crisis did NOT suddenly appear after Bush's presidency followed the Clintons' 8 years. However, after 9/11 terrorist attacks, securing the borders should have been an immediate response. Of course, if Bush has done so, "our" liberal-leftists aka as Democrats would then scream "nazi-fascist-racist police state". To the pathological Left, national security measures translate to a "loss of freedoms" and imposed fascism. Patho-logical = diseased logic.
"It would be more accurate to say that government has been and is still selling out America."
Yes, obviously. I suspect both parties.
Now THAT'S the truth, IMO. And I'm getting really sick of supporting them in the style to which they have become accustomed.

"New guest workers will be allowed to stay for six years before they go home ---- but who will make them go? For the past five years, Bush has failed to deport people, even when he knows they are here illegally."
For any Bushbot to claim this disaster is not amensty is simplying lying. By all measures illegal immigration has increased under his watch because of his pronouncements that they will not be shipped back.
"It would be more accurate to say that government has been and is still selling out America."
I'll second that notion! All problems point directly to CONGRESS and its self-serving tenured career politico-demagogues. Advocate Term Limits!
Both parties are complicit in this and they have made it nearly impossible for an opposition to become a legitimate challenge. The two parties are doing a divide and conquer towards a unified goal.
Great answer. You defended Bush position brilliantly!
After 9/11 he could have, should have, and had an obligation to secure the border. To always blame the libs for our not doing what should be done is tired, lazy, and infantile. GWB has become simply not credible anymore because of this.
How in good conscious can he talk about the Iraq border while ours is a sive?
Look on any corner or go shopping in any mall, these invaders are slowly suffocating us to death like the frog in ever increasingly warm water who dies a slow death.
Definition of greed: Excessive desire for more than one needs or deserves: acquisitiveness, avarice, avariciousness, avidity, covetousness, cupidity, graspingness. Informal : grabbiness.
Though his border policies are not acceptable, greed does not strike me as a motivation. Would that trait not have shown up earlier in his life?
Articles like this which presume an unproven motivation hurt as much as they help, since they sound like the left's mantra and risk being ignored.
