Be nice , folks.

I know how these kind of threads can tend to get a bit intense.

Thanks.

the President stated the current immigration situation is a “bureaucratic nightmare” and the Border Patrol is “overstressed” due to “people [illegal immigrants] streaming across [the border].”
The ONLY “bureaucratic nightmare” is his consistent determination to eliminate our southern border while looking like he cares about it to his core constituents.
While I do believe he is a good man in general, he is an ardent globalist with little or no regard for or national sovereignty.
The very basic function of the federal government is to protect us from invasion - something his administration absolutely refuses to do.

Cordially,
GE

Just received a phone call from the RNC, asking for an emergency donation of $150.

Although it pained me to say it...can you guess what I told them?

Bush can't figure it out. He should just shut his mouth about immigration. It is doing him more harm then good.

I don't know if there is anyway to compile the statistics but if you were to do an analysis of the discussion here at Free Republic about his SOTU speech my guess is that you would find that about 80% of it focused on his immigration policies and about 80% of the posters in those threads were negative about what he had to say. We are his base and most of us are bashing him for his immigration policy(deservedly in my opinion) rather than supporting him for the 95% of his SOTU speech that was pretty good.

By now, he should know he is going to get that reaction. He is his own worst enemy. By shafting us on that one issue he gets an angry base that is not inclined to support him on anything.

What can anyone say? President Bush has earned an A+ in the War on Terror, but an F- in immigration.

Probably because without secure borders EVERYTHING else is a side issue.

We are being prepped for the big news that is coming within 10 years - the Canadian and Mexican borders are soon to be gone and we will be one country - North America.

Bush and Bush Sr. are globalist through and through. Do you remember the Bush Sr. speech to Congress immediately following the victory in Iraq during the Gulf War? Do you remember the mantra - the victors represented the New World Order. This victory is heralding the age of the New World Order. It was &%cking blasphemous.

GW is purposely NOT DOING ANYTHING about the illegal immigration problem. He's got his marching orders and he's not going to do anything to truely deter illegal immigration and interrupt the course of the New World Order.

All you TRUE AMERICANS had better learn to shutup and comply with the New World Order, or else.....

So did I. We must be on the same phone list. I told them I realize it takes money to develop a globalist, one-world, open-border utopia filled with ruling elites and poverty-stricken wage slaves to service them.

I also told them I was already doing my part, paying for "free" health care for illegals -- excuse me, undocumented guest workers doing the jobs Amercans don't want to do -- in California with my tax dollars.

I gave at the office.

The problem with our border security and immigration policy in the US is that we haven't had one for over 30 years. And, there is nobody in a position of power in Washington who gives a damn enough to do anything.

We are essentially being invaded by Mexican military personnel on the payroll of the drug lords and we do NOTHING. I just don't understand why the US military is not patrolling the border. They are shooting at us!! I had two friends that were full-time Catholic missionaries in Allende Mexico which is about 45 minutes South of Eagle Pass, TX. I was more scared for their safety as I was for my soldier friends in Iraq. At least in Iraq, the soldiers can kill anybody that shoots at them. In Texas, the border agents are essentially sitting ducks.

The average poor Mexican would not cross the border and challenge the military. Only the druggies and bad guys would take us on. At least that would finally put us head-to-head with the bad guys.

I am currently reading Tom Clancy's book "Clear and Present Danger". The cool part of this book is that the President finally had the manhood to attack the bad guys coming into the US. Clancy was way ahead of his time in his analysis of the border situation. In the book, a US fighter jet patrolled the border and shot down the druggies.

If we want to say we are at war with Drugs and Terror. We should at least defend ourselves from these attackers at our most vulnerable place.

Why does this seem so obvious? If the bad guys are coming in there - we have to go there to stop them!

Yep, I want to cry.

Oh, but all of that illegal help is providing some employers with huge profit margins, and our economy is booming. And yet the president doesn't see the damage being done to the country in so many areas.

I didn't see the Tuesday night address, but I understand that it could have been given by the late Nelson A. Rockefeller as far as the content. Is that correct?
