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.

True leaders do what's right even if a few disagree and call them names.
If the Dems were not the Dims, they would co-opt the Borders issue.
Why don't you DEMAND the reason why Clinton was "ignoring the border crisis"? Are you a supporter of Clinton?
Won't happen. We're toast.
Maybe it's so his wife can get through customs easier...
I'll modify the quote a little, and say...'demanding something from someone on an anonymous web forum, is a good way to hear God laugh'
"The real reason is globalism. The borders must be erased."
That is one hell of a big global corral in which to herd the unwashed masses. Isn't the utopian "new world order" a nefarious BNW one-world government dictated by remote elites? A totalitarian extension of the United Nations?
I hope diverse peoples within humanity will always seek to draw its own lines to secure its individual sovereignty/self-rule. I cannot imagine any greater terror than an imposed one-world government no matter what "-cracy" it is called.
Well, I have always been told that courage is being scared but doing it anyway.
Bush needs to show as hard of (or harder) line on immigration as he has on Iraq. It does seem, in hindsight, that Iraq is a distraction. Not a distraction from the War on Terror, but, rather, a distraction from everything else.
If the Bush team reads this post, here's a simple list of things to get done and right fast:
1. Open up ANWR and the Gulf of Mexico immediately.
2. Close the border to Mexico, starting with support for (not the tearing down of) citizen patrols like the Minute Men Project.
3. English is the language. No more forms, books, etc. in 14 different languages or even 2. English. Speak it or get out.
4. Finger in the air and in the face of every leftist group that is trying to tear America down from the inside. Start with the ACLU.
5. Re-fund and restart innovative projects like Able Danger, find the terrorists, and kill them. Don't arrest them, don't detain them...KILL THEM!
Cindy Sheehan and Code Pink already call George Bush a war monger, a terrorist, etc. Far as I'm concerned, Bush should give them a little "You think that I'm a war monger now, wait 'til you see what happens next" attitude. The old "wait 'til they get a load of me" approach.
Just afraid that Bush is doing too much talkin', not enough walkin'.
Maybe I'm just in a rut? Maybe it's just me? Unfortunately, I don't think that I am. I guess it doesn't help that I paid $3.05 a gallon this morning.
Do all of you folks *honestly* thinks that the president and his family have no investements, no trusts, and receive no compensation from the private sector once they leave office?
Come on, guys. Use your head. The companies that lobby make a ton of money from cheap illegal labor, and the lobbyists make the laws, not elected officials.
Bush is just a bad president who doesn't really give two and a half s**ts what anyone else in the country thinks.
He's not representing the will of the people, he's just running the country like the whole thing is a game.
A portrait of the author.
It's all about the North American Community. The merging of three nations into one third world armpit, supported by the taxpayers of the the former U.S.
They have already won, since you can pile up the evidence in mountains but you can't get a FReeper to look.
No chance of awakening the sheeple.
That's right pal, the RINO's are going to get shredded by the rank and file Republicans come election time. A divided party we now have, and the RINO's are to blame. To blindly support President Bush no matter what he does is loony. My congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave is too busy meeting with Cindy Sheehan to do her job. She took an oath of office just like the rest of them to protect our country. She can take a hike also. I will not vote for her ever again, no matter what. I'm not leaving the party, as the RINO's would like. I'm going to be a huge pain in their butt come caucus time.
"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."
The greed the article is talking about comes in as donations to the RNC from businesses that like the availability of quasi-slave labor. It lowers their costs, increasing their profits. Since they are the largest contributors to the RNC and congressmen individually, the incumbents are swimming in cash from business contributiions.

There can be found the truth.
They are so confident now that they publish the plan.
They are right, no one will read it.
>>>Did he not learn anything from the FEMA debacle?<<<
You had my attention, Freeman Sawyer, until you included that idiotic statement. Mike Brown was one of Bush's best choices. Next time stick with the facts. We have had enough innuendo from the leftist media and their lapdogs in the democratic party.
I think V. Fox must have threatened war if we close the border. I say we do it now.
Careful, FRiend! I got my flame retardant underwear tested almost to the destruction point for saying the same thing.
Points to consider:
1) The logistical nightmare of trying to round up and deport a couple of cities worth of illegals boggles the mind.
2) Just how militarized do anti-immigration folks want our borders? Should the Border Patrol be joined by the Army and given orders to shoot illegals on sight?
3) A substantial percentage of Hispanics regard this sort of thing as racist, i.e. 'We don't want any more of THOSE people in OUR country.' What politician in his right mind is going to infuriate the fastest growing bloc of voters in the country?
Do you really think there is that much differece between some people here and the DU'rs? They all argue that someone or something else is evil and not just (in their opinion) wrong. And what's pathetic, they believe it. They're all potential brownshirts for some demagogue.
"...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".
True leaders do what's right even if a few disagree and call them names.
*I agree. However, America has (entertainment is us) a MEDIA MONOPOLY which influences public opinion by beating the drum and providing the bandwagon for the loud leftist minority's partisan propaganda/hate speech/disinformation, etc. TRUE LEADERSHIP would proactively diffuse the firey leftist crap and educate citizens for their own sake as exampled by Ronald Reagan when president.
