Oh well it was fun while it lasted.
I hear from buddies still in the biz (in Cali) it's traditional for Mexican drywallers to poop in the wall before the last panel goes on....

Yeah, he's got it about right; that's about how high the stack of votes your candidates have gotten would be.

Here's my email to the President today -

TO president@whitehouse.gov

I'm a loyal Republican Mr President, but I have one word for you regarding your Guest Worker Program.

NO Hell NO!!!

You have to start listening to the people Mr President.

See this thread at the largest Republican Forum on the Internet.

Prediction doesn't have much to do with it.

That's just all there is to say.

"...Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah, said he was pleased Bush 'called for an immigration system that deals with the influx of illegal immigrants realistically...'"

Hmm, I didn't hear any plans for incarceration or deportation or both. "Realistically" "deal(ing) with "illegal immigrants" should involve both. Hiring them as employees, giving them taxpayer dollars and various other gifts thanks to the largesse that exists because of citizens, is NOT "deal(ing) with the influx of illegal immigrants realistically."

I also think it's sad that Bush thinks the country "can't function" without illegal aliens. They're here illegally, they're violating the laws, and thus, he might just as well say that "crime pays, and we need it."

What's wrong with a 90 day guest worker program for all illegal aliens, prior to deportation?

There is just no.way someone who has been in the U.S. for TEN YEARS is going to "leave the country." They're not going to leave.

THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LEAVE. They will stay without benefit of "papers" and convert their lifestyles to yet more of an underground economy than exists now. They will not leave, AND THEY WILL BE EXTREMELY RESENTFUL AT THE IDEA OF BEING EXPECTED TO.

Thus, 'guest worker programs' are going to: increase and expand an underground economy and increase and expand by more millions the illegal alien population in the U.S. AND they will create increasing social disturbance because after being here in the country, they'll continue to amplify their demands for more goods, benefits and services. They are not going to "just leave" after ten years. Or even after two years, or one.

It was fun while it lasted. We were in a whole different tax bracket back in the mid 80's. We pulled up stakes and moved to Montana.

it's traditional for Mexican drywallers to poop in the wall before the last panel goes on....

That is soooooooo disgusting.

I have no doubt he will. Surely he must know that, which makes it all the more confusing why nothing has been done. Americans have been screaming about closing our borders since 9-11 and have only gotten back excuses or silence.

Tomatoes were picked for a long, long time before illegal aliens appeared under with the ruse that they were doing the work that Americans won't do.

And corn was harvested. And fruit was picked and steps were swept and cars were washed and children were raised and meals were cooked and...still are.

I always ask when people say this as to who do you think was doing the work BEFORE illegal aliens arrived? Everyone was doing the work, each and every day.

A lot of highschool kids can't find summer jobs today because most of what they'd be doing is taken by illegal aliens. Same with parttime workers, retirees and such. A lot of people are available to work but most labor is now filled by illegal aliens. I know most clerks in the local Target stores don't speak English.

Howlin, you're forgetting how great it is to lose on principle. Incrementalism be damned - there is no more glorious feeling than to look around at the end of the day and realize that you have gained absolutely nothing.

That explains why I haven't seen him, thanks. I'm surprised he lasted so long. :-)

So, you're admitting that Bush hasn't done a thing about the border?
