Bush says guest workers could not stay By Stephen Dinan THE WASHINGTON TIMES Published January 24, 2006

President Bush yesterday said illegal aliens who take part in his guest-worker program would not be allowed to stay permanently. "I do not believe that any guest-worker program ought to contain amnesty because I believe that, if you granted amnesty to people here working now, that would cause another 8 million people or so to come here," he said in response to a question from the audience at a speech at Kansas State University. Mr. Bush said illegal aliens could join the guest-worker program, but they would have to go home just like future temporary workers from overseas.

Oh yeah right. Y'all have to go home now. Wink, wink.
Bush has NO credibility when it comes to immigration. None

No kidding. The illegals "have to" go home now. But they stay because no one makes them go home. Why ever will they go home 3, 6, or 9 years from now? Bush's constant lying on this issue speaks volumes about the shabby state of his character.

The thing is, as soon as the illegals are legitimized, they are no longer attractive to most would-be employers due to their now legal status. Workman's Comp, SS taxes, higher pay, workplace rules, etc., take effect.

Then the cycle starts over again with more illegals coming in.

We're creating an American Caste System.

I won't even start to believe anything Bush has to say until he apologizes to the Minutemen heros for calling them vigilantes. They're doing what he doesn't have the courage to do.

What a load! That's not just any load, it's a full load. LOL Don't believe Bush. He's the king of globalization, and open borders. Haven't you heard about "THE AMERICAS?" It includes Canada, Mexico and all of South America!!

Henry Rollins wrote a song that sums this up. An excerpt:

I’ll hide behind a smile
And understanding eyes
And I’ll tell you things that you already know
So you can say
I really identify with you, so much
And all the time that you’re needing me
Is just the time that I’m bleeding you
Don’t you get it yet?
I’ll come to you like an affliction
And I’ll leave you like an addiction
You’ll never forget me
You wanna know why?
Cause I’m a liar
Yeah I’m a liar
I’ll rip your mind out
I’ll burn your soul
I’ll turn you into me
I’ll turn you into me
Cause I’m a liar, a liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar

I don’t know why I feel the need to lie
And cause you so much pain
Maybe it’s something inside
Maybe it’s something I can’t explain
Cause all I do
Is mess you up and lie to you
I’m a liar
Oh, I am a liar

If you’ll give me one more chance
I swear that I will never lie to you again
Because now I see the destructive power of a lie
They’re stronger than truth
I can’t believe I ever hurt you
I swear
I will never to you lie again, please
Just give me one more chance
I will never lie to you again
I swear
That I will never tell a lie
I will never tell a lie
No, no
Ha ha ha ha ha hah haa haa haa haaa
Sucker

What Bush asserts was true at one time. Mexicans were generally uncomfortable in a culture in which there were so few like them. They would work and go back to their culture. Now As the largest minority (much of that honor stolen) hispanics can now come and are very comfortable as their can find their unadulterated culture in most every area. Few will leave. Bush knows this. Bush is a post-nationalist. We are a region now not a country.

Shout it from the mountaintops and the kneepadders will still refuse to hear you.

I am frankly amazed at the cult of personality he has amassed.

Why didn't someone think of that before?!

Just tell the ILLEGAL aliens that there are rules! Yes! That's it. How simple. Problem solved.

I'm certain that we haven't, but I'm glad that we have now because there is that little thingy called the equal protection clause that I can point you to.

Who's going to make them leave?

This moron won't even ackowledge that we have laws against this sort of invasion, let alone actually inforce them.

Well of course- after all, the illegals are obeying the laws we have right now. Who could possibly think that they wouldn't obey the laws in the future?

And not a single one of them would have an 'anchor baby' born while they are here- the claim that 30% of the illegals now here have anchor babies is xenophobic vigilante hogwash. Just ask the Quislings.

Wells Fargo is already giving home loans to illegals.
Soon, you too can have a flop house in your neighborhood with 25 illegals packed into it.

We might as well accept the fact that people break the laws.
There's no use in trying to enforce them.
