Bill would speed up deporting illegal migrants (makes illegal entry a FELONY!)

"So, let him veto it."

To quote the President's own words vis-a-vis the UN, he's quickly making himself irrelevant on the issue of illegal immigration and border defense.

Knowing ole Jorge, it would only apply to new entrants, not the 20 million already here.

[Blood of Tyrants]

If Frist has the balls to use parlimentary procedure to get it through, does it have the votes to pass?

[chris1]

Would that not be the biggest kick in the rear! GWB uses his first veto on an immigration bill to hard on illegals???

I can't wait till he is out of there. I prefer the gridlock of the late 90's to this.

Yep, you got it. Same old politics at its usual worst. They'll probably sneak in their payraises too.

[Just mythoughts]

Well Congress finally getting around to passing a 'bill' to do what we allllll thought was already the law, does show who has been behind the allowance and in some cases the encouragement of an illegal invasion.

I do not blame President Bush for taking this "guest worker" approach, as were he to demand the legislation and dollars to send back to country of origin each and every illegal, there would be some protesting he was reenacting Hitler.

I am sure that McCain and Kennedy will make sure there are no torturous barriers allowed along our borders.

When some of the bots claim that GWB is not at fault on this, I really have to laugh. He is. After 9/11 he could have easily tightened everything up and everyone would have applauded. Instead, he is back to his usual garbage and bilge. Honestly, he has only his self to blame for his low approval numbers.

Even though I volunteered for him twice, were someone to ask me right now, I would dissaprove of his performance. Its embarassing in fact that a GOP president would do some of things he has done thus far. CFR anyone??? Drug bill anyone???

WTF???????????????

[chris1]

GWB is worse than Clinton on this issue. In fact, this is the one issue he seems most ardent about. What a joke!

"GWB is worse than Clinton on this issue. In fact, this is the one issue he seems most ardent about. What a joke!"


NOT even close it was the Clintons and algore who opened the flood gates to illegals and even allowed any and all in without investigation, election 1996!!!

Congress did NOTHING about it. Now I am not please with the approach President Bush has taken but I hardly hold him responsible in the manner in which he has responded to what obviously was the willingness of Clintons and Congress.

How many have died in this illegal invasion, and how many states and cities have made it their policy to give sanctuary to illegals??? This illegal invasion has the most religious component to it of allll issues and crisis this nations faces.

Making illegal immigration a felony - with real consequences will reduce the incentive to enter the country illegally. Capacity problem solved.

[Dante3]

And we should remove this crazy law of anyone born in this country, even if the mother was passing through or is an illegal alien, is automatically a citizen

[chris1]

Whatever the case may be, I am disgusted with what it has done to this country.

GWB to me has ZZZEEERRROOO credibility on this issue as he showed his true alleginances after 9/11 and doing absolutely nothing about this invasion.

Its so bad that everytime I go shopping or out, it is like being in a foreign nation. It was NEVER as bad as it has been in the past few years.


Were it FEDERAL policy to get rid of these people on the spot and send them home to THEIR country, the cities and states could not get away with the safe harbor policies you speak of.

Additionally, were you to engage in any of the crimes so often committed by illegals, you yourself would be jailed.

I agree with what you said. I'm in the process of legally immigrating to the U.S. and it is an expensive, time consuming affair where a single, little mistake on a form can have you removed from the U.S. The rules are strict and the consequences serious if you try to do things legally, but illegals are virtually ignored by the system. In my personal opinion, Immigration enforcement is tough on the legal immigrants because they are easier to catch.

[Just mythoughts]

We are talking about human beings, and there is this belief that Republicans could care less about human beings.

Now these states and cities are making their policy in spite of what is federal legislation and then these states are expecting the federal government to pick up the tab.

I would likened it to a rebellion from within. So we have the "humanity" issue being used from the educational, political, and economic institutions not even to mention the religious picture.

Congress was the body with authority to put a stop to it years ago and they have sat silent and refused to address the issue for decades.

President Bush has been likened to Hitler/Nazi like the world over, there is a segment of the leftists that are ready to spill blood in our own streets and that is just a fact.

I have no problem holding President Bush accountable for his lack of leadership, but I assure you he is NOT the most accountable in the grand scheme of things. Let's factor in the Judicial Branch, and Congress as well, they are coequal in our system of governance.

[demkicker]

I hear you loud and clear. W is a one worlder just like his daddy, and there should be no doubt about it after 9/11 and the free flow of illegals and terrorists ALLOWED to enter our country since that tragic day.

Years ago a friend of mine saw a map of the future by the U.N. One of these days, my state, Texas, will be in a "zone" along with Mexico. The U.S. as we know it, will be unrecognizable. Hell, right now there is a border hospital that boldly advertises it serves Mexico AND the U.S.!

Our sovereignty will incrementally disappear as fast as you can say, "No, I'm not wearing a tin foil hat!"

[cripplecreek]

The attorney who advised us throughout the process said that our costs and fees probably subsidize immigration attorneys for at least ten illegals seeking to stay in this country.

[Mulch]

Welcome to the America! We need more people like you who have the decency to follow the rules.

[Plutarch]

Meanwhile, the Senate is expected to pass its own immigration legislation -- including a guest-worker provision...

Come on, Senator Byrd. Do your stuff!
