...At some point, the president of the United States will have to get behind the Statue of Liberty or Tom Tancredo's wall.

It should be clear to everyone now that for Bush there are no walls.

"Family values don't stop at the Rio Grande" he's fond of saying. It may be true but certainly for millions of people honoring another man's possessions (this country which belongs to Americans) does stop at the border - with tacit approval by Bush.

If the following quote doesn't tell you where Bush stands and has stood for over five years now, you are not paying attention. I know some of you are tired of seeing this but I also know that every time I post it someone sends me an e-mail or posts how had they known about Bush's disdain for the "old America" in favor of the "new America" where spanish becomes the lynch pin of his legacy, we would not have voted for him.

Bush has decided to end debate over this issue. This is not the America we want. There should be debate. And, since this is our country we should have a say in who comes here. It is not up to Bush. Yet, he has decided for all of us.

We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.

Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

My Bush Epiphany:

(The article says it for me)

Let us be clear that W. is not (as Republican politicians including Reagan have done for decades) celebrating immigrants from diverse backgrounds on the assumption that they are becoming part of our culture and way of life. On the contrary, he is applauding the expansion and the increasingly dominant role of the Hispanic culture and the Spanish language in this country. He is explicitly welcoming the very things that are making America less and less like its historical self and more and more like Latin America.

Immigration ping.

There seems to be no problem with aiding the Dominican Republic with their wall/barrier.

Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
