Is this a spoof or just more token gestures? ;-)

WASHINGTON - Caught between business supporters who need foreign workers and conservatives clamoring for a clampdown on illegal immigration, President Bush tried on Saturday to give his temporary guest worker plan a nudge by promising strong enforcement......................................................................................................... That is what we have had for 20 years: Promises to US Citizens who have to pay for the costs of these aliens. Threats against the aliens. Any comment about the employers of illegals? FOUR prosecuted last year.

Now, most of the 900,000 illegal immigrants from Mexico who are caught each year are immediately escorted back across the border.

Most of the illegal aliens from Mexico aren't caught and it is rare to see any illegal alien from Mexico get deported.

And, here it comes...

As we improve and expand our efforts to secure our borders, we must also recognize that enforcement cannot work unless it's part of a comprehensive immigration reform that includes a temporary worker program. If an employer has a job that no American is willing to take, we need to find a way to fill that demand by matching willing employers with willing workers from foreign countries on a temporary and legal basis.

As Secretary Chertoff told the Senate this week, our goal is to return every single illegal entrant, with no exceptions. And this bill puts us on the path to do that. For Mexicans who cross into America illegally, we have a different plan, but the same goal.

Illegal alien Mexicans - the protected class. The "different plan", of course is to let them stay, all 15? million of them, and there won't be a thing to stop the next 15 million from coming in after amnesty is granted.

What happened to the promise several years back that "there will be no more amnesties" for Mexicans?

A critical part of any temporary worker program is ensuring that our immigration laws are enforced at work sites.

It's so critical that we had zero enforcement last year against employers. I expect his poll numbers to continue their free fall as he peddles this winner.

To defend this country, we have to enforce our borders. When our borders are not secure, terrorists, drug dealers, and criminals find it easier to sneak into America. My administration has a clear strategy for dealing with this problem: We want to stop people from crossing into America illegally, and to quickly return the illegal immigrants we catch back to their home countries.

El Presidente Jorge is preaching to the choir. WE have KNOWN and been CONCERNED sine 9-11. The ONLY reason he's doing this now is because he has lost the support of many party faithfuls over his inaction on the borders. It may be too little too late. You can't close the door AFTER the fox is already in the hen house! The damage is already done! The fox can pick off the chickens as he gets hungry for a long time.

We will not put illegals in prison, too many of them, cost, court, police, etc. We’re not going to seal the borders either, too much politics as usual. Do what you see fit in the voting both.

Here is an idea that I expanded to the following little manual:

All arrested illegals and their families should be put on charter jets, flown to the capitals of their home countries and bye.

The cost of such an operation, including but is not limited to, police & court hours, lawyers, first class hotel accommodations/room service till flight time, transportation cost, etc. should be doubled and charged to the company which employed them. The company has to pay the bill in 30 business days or face extra financial penalties and closure. The management will get a strike-one warning.

If the same company commits the same offence, quadruple the cost and halve the time to pay the bill in 15 business days. This second strike is the right time when managers will face charges and jail sentences.

Third time,..............Carry on, you know the drill.

LE agencies should hire top lawyers to sue the offending companies and insure winning the LE cases quickly against taxpayer-paid public defenders. After all, the offending companies will pay lawyers’ fees for this luxury.

The above solution will solve the illegal immigration problem by dealing with its roots and relieving the taxpayers’ burden:

1. No tax burden. After paying expenses, the rest of the money should go in the public coffers to reduce property taxes, hire more police and border guards.

2. The law is on our side therefore; enforcement of existing laws does not require any interference from activist courts like the 9 th Circuit or the SCOTUS. If the offending company appeals its meter will continue to run and settling out of court becomes a certainty. If the management doesn’t settle, let them face the shareholders and Wall Street. There will be no more challenges after one such case in which judges couldn’t go against the 14 th Amendment. This will also solve the problem of liberalism infestation, i.e., never being able to change the invented local pro-illegals’ laws (sanctuary cities’ crap) overnight or ever.

3. The demagogues and their MSM allies who charge racism will cease and desist because several arrested illegals will be OTM and could very well be WHITE Westerners, Russians, East Europeans, etc. Everyone will be treated equally; booted out that is.

4. This is an incentive for legal workers (Americans, legal residents, work visa holders, etc.) to report the illegals in order to keep their jobs by simply keeping their employers viable. Legal workers who are afraid of the pro-illegal cabal’s charges of racism will have nothing to fear.

Since when has the government EVER done something on a "temporary" basis?

Bush's problems with Rove, Libby and Miers might turn out to be our biggest ally in the immigration battle. Bush desperately need an issue to pull him out of the pathetic slump that he is in. Sealing the borders and deporting all illegal invaders would help secure his legacy. I hope Bush and the republicans realize this.

ICE ping

President Address: this bill also provides $3.7 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement so we can find and return the illegal immigrants who are entering our country.

"For Mexicans who cross into America illegally, we have a different plan, but the same goal. Now, most of the 900,000 illegal immigrants from Mexico who are caught each year are immediately escorted back across the border. The problem is that these illegal immigrants are able to connect with another smuggler or coyote and come right back in. So one part of the solution is a program called "interior repatriation" where we fly or bus these illegal immigrants all the way back to their hometowns in the interior of Mexico. By returning illegal Mexican immigrants to their homes, far away from desert crossings, we're saving lives and making it more difficult for them to turn right around and cross back into America."

As we improve and expand our efforts to secure our borders, we must also recognize that enforcement cannot work unless it's part of a comprehensive immigration reform that includes a temporary worker program. If an employer has a job that no American is willing to take, we need to find a way to fill that demand by matching willing employers with willing workers from foreign countries on a temporary and legal basis. I'll work with members of Congress to create a program that will provide for our economy's labor needs without harming American workers, and without granting amnesty, and that will relieve pressure on our borders.

A critical part of any temporary worker program is ensuring that our immigration laws are enforced at work sites. America is a country of laws; we must not allow dishonest employers to flout those laws. So we've doubled the resources for work site enforcement since 2004.

We have much more work ahead of us. But the Homeland Security bill I signed this week provides vital support for our efforts to deal with the problem of illegal immigration, and make all Americans safer and more secure.

Thank you for listening.

I see we are trottong out the same old dog and pony show called , "Guest Worker Program". At a time when both parties are beginning to jockey for being a hawk on illegal immigration, we have the President promoting amnesty, he can call it what he likes, for Mexicans who are easily transported back across the border while at the same time they are setting up "expediated proccessing' for non-Mexicans who will have to be flown back home at a much higher expense. Typical Washington math I'm afraid.

He's on the wrong side of this issue, and he will burn much political capital in this fight much like the Meir's debacle. In the end he will lose this fight because the American people are sick of open borders. It's almost like 9/11 never happened.
