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.

...What politician in his right mind is going to infuriate the fastest growing bloc of voters in the country?...
How stupid is pissing in the face of 87% of the population in favor of 13%, many of whom are crimalien frauds?
If anyone had a rational plan for actually doing something about the border instead of just anti-immigrant BS, I would be angry too. What realistically can you do about it. Ultra conservatives won't allow Bush to take even the first steps.
Just closing the border will not work. It would just become violent.
If you want to cripple the Republicans, go ahead. I'm sure hillary and her cohorts will shut the border down immmediatly!
A truer statement has never been made. W has sold us out, and probably the Repub party. I believe we will see sweeping Dim wins in the next election.
[purpleland:] I DEMAND the writer, evidently a mindreader, give reasons why Bush is ignoring the border crisis. [...]
The border crisis did NOT suddenly appear after Bush's presidency followed the Clintons' 8 years.
Why don't you DEMAND the reason why Clinton was "ignoring the border crisis"?
*It's obvious the CLINTONS' with the aid of its loyal MEDIA pursued their own self-serving interests, and suppressed portentous critical issues such as global terrorism. During the Clintons' years, the border issue, as so many consequential issues, never rised to the top for citizen scrutiny.
Are you a supporter of Clinton?
*I dispise Hillary (Soros) Clinton beyond any measure known to man. SHE was the shadow president for 8 years. Without Hillary to direct him, Bill Clinton is just a good old dough-boy con artist politico whose demagogic ethos moves like a weather vane. Bill Clinton is a superficial opportunist BUT Hillary Clinton is a ruthless megalomanic dedicated to augmenting HER power in the world.
It is very evident the Clintons' (dual) presidency operated against the best interests of America and its citizens. The so-called economic boom during their presidency was an illusionary balloon that was destined to burst, and it did.
Pres. Bush positively affected its rapid recovery, e.g., through his tax cut policy.
No matter what socio-political ideology it is based upon, a vast global, borderless society governed by a centralized "new world order" could only be controlled by an omnipotent totalitarian police state. Put the components into an equation and the end result is irreversible doom.
You asked, "Are you a supporter of Clinton?"
Nope, I don't support the devious Clintons. My allegiance is to the precepts of America's Declaration of Independence and of its Constitution. Nor do I believe that a position taken against legalized Abortion defines conservative political philosophy.
Spoken like a true RINO. Threaten the unhappy base with thoughts of Hillary. I for one am sick of these threats, they don't mean squat if the RINO's act the same way.

"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'"
Mine was a rhetorical "demand" begging the question which you graciously answered.
Exactly. The RINO's are socialists the same way the dems are, but are one wee bit less. They always trot out the Hillary boogiewoman threat like what is going on now is any better.
If she were Prez and the House and Senate were still GOP, she would get nothing done anyway.
On many levels I agree with the writer's sentiments. What are borders for if we pretend they don't even exist.
I have not come to disagreement with that, but a story that came out of the wake of Katrina, brought home something Bush understands about the many illegal immigrants who come here.
(I will tell you the story from memory, so I may make some mistakes) There was a group of illegal families in New Orleans caught in the pre-storm scare about Katrina and had to decide what to do. By the nite of Saturday before the storm they decided they should try to leave, but a few of the women were working in downtown hotels in the maid service and their bosses demanded they go to work Sunday morning. The women went work and the families waited. By noon Sunday the hotel managers decided they would close and told the workers they could go home.
The families collected all the stuff they could fit with them into three or four old cars they had and they set out in a convoy for Houston. They were sure of one thing, they needed to stick together. Along the way to Houston they ran out of gas money and slept the nite in their cars and on the ground at a park. A Christian church gave them money for gas the next day and they did finally make it to Houston.
They got into one of the evacuation centers in Houston the nite the storm hit New Orleans. After the storm they tried to figure out what to do and what assistance they could get. At every step of the way they never lied to anyone about their status. They did get some food but in being honest about their status they turned in their Fema assistance papers telling the volunteers the truth, they had no green cards.
Someone among the volunteers told them about a Salvation Army or church group that was helping evacuees. With little gas left they got back in their cars and did make it to that Church center. They got to shower, sleep on cots and a days worth of meals at the Center.
Knowing their status, the church was limited, except through their own means, as to how much they could help. The group decided they needed to get to Memphis (I think it was Memphis) where one of their group (about 30 men women and children) had a relative. But they had spent their last money getting to the church center.
The church took up a special collection and gave them $200 per car for gasoline. They spent the next couple days driving to Memphis, sleeping on the road and just praying they would not get stopped anywhere.
They made it to Memphis and to make a long story short - with help from their one connection there, and that connection's church and individuals at the church, within a week or two most of the adults were working and the children were in day care.
I know, I know the adults are illegal.
But, you know what, these people are survivers, self-reliant survivors - unlike a large % of the poor in New Orleans. Did they and do they get help? Yes. But they got help that was offered and they were not expecting any entitlement and they were not waiting for some entitlement. They had no idea what was waiting for them in Memphis, but doing something, anything, rather than waiting for a handout is in their blood. How can we be surprised when many of them walked a good part of the distance from their villages in Mexico to the Rio Grande.
It sounded racist when Vicente Fox said it (Mexican immigrants take the jobs blacks won't do), but he was right. The one difference is that it is not race, but culture - the entitlement society that liberals built for the "poor".
Not being part of that, the immigrants are not locked into it, so they will take the risks, bear the burdens, live through the stuggles it takes to move from minimum wage unskilled labor, to having a skill, and beyond. While unemployment in the urban ghettos remains high.
How do we encourage young poor men in our urban cities to move out into the country and take the risks that the immigrants are taking? Proping up the infrastructure of the ghettos is not going to do it and government forcing the creation of unsustainable jobs in those areas is not going to do it either.
I know it sounds like a lack of compassion, but in the long run, for their own benefit and for the benefit of their children, the urban poor need to leave and become immigrants to the areas of the country that are growing and building. They need to leave their liberal welfare blue states and move to the southern growing red states.
What is strange is that we do not mind saying that when it is a choice that a wealthy or middle class family is making because of changes the parents are forced to make, but we are ashamed of suggesting that the poor gather themself up and make the same choice - move.
No disagreement here.
It is a sign of weakness, IMHO, for us to waste our time fixing blame and pointing fingers.
We created a political majority for the party that claimed to represent US. Once in power, they have proved themselves to have no agenda but to remain in power at any cost to our nation.
It is time for bold leadership to secure our borders, deport invaders, end foreign and corporate welfare, and return government to it's proper role as "servant of the people".
Unfortunately, our "leaders" don't agree.
Hey the reason for ignoring borders is the same as for ignoring levees - follow the money.
"He's [Bush] not representing the will of the people, he's just running the country like the whole thing is a game.'
Perhaps you haven't noticed that career congressmen play America like a monopoly gameboard. America is *their corporation* providing endless revenues with which to diddle and speculate. It is CONGRESS, not Bush, who betrays American citizens. The more often career politicans are re-elected, the more they betray. With each new term, they establish an increasing constituency of lobbyists, special interest groups, ideologic sycophants and PACs.
For a convenient example, good old SHAM FULL Gary Condit.
Oh yes, I have indeed noticed.

Agreed.

You lost me here. It's all of them. Nobody in the executive or legislative branch is exempt from willful malfeasance and treason to the wishes of the citizens.

Yep.
With each new term, they establish an increasing constituency of lobbyists, special interest groups, ideologic sycophants and PACs.
Indeed.
For a convenient example, good old SHAM FULL Gary Condit.
Yep. And about 500 others. I agree with you on most things, except Bush's benevolent innocense in the whole bastardized process.

I forgot that I hired an illegal alien to post what I was too lazy to post. Then I took a shot of caffeine and posted it myself too. Hence the double post.
Just goes to show you that us citizens aren't as lazy as GWB says we are.
...and don't forget children. Bush hates the children.
Look at how much ex presidents make from giving speeches.

Agree. Nationalism must be disposed of. Flood the country with others that could care less about American ideals and nationalism. Put America on the same level as most other countries. It's happening right before our eyes. It is the clear direction we are headed. None of it good.
Argument from emotional language. Such a hate would not likely be demarcated between illegal and legal emigrants, so it must be a mentality you see as inherent in Mexicans as a group. So what is it you stand for that Mexicans hate I wonder?
