More, more, I want more...

"renegade Mexican troops = vs mexico or mexicans

Islmofasist vs muslims

Why do they always focus on some limited aspects of the actual problem...

--Just another example of overblowing the issue.

Do you have any vacation time saved up? ;-)

We've been there and done that before.

a Bush proposal to create a program which offers temporary worker status for foreign workers in order to combat illegal immigration.
Hey, maybe we can use this same logic to combat crime here in Alabama! We will eliminate the criminal code so that nothing is illegal and there you have it; Alabama will be a 100% crime free state!

I'm glad to see someone in a government somewhere who finally has the guts to call it what it is - a war.

The antiwar crowd would be right there, Cindy Sheehan, human shields and all.

He's a nice looking man. I think he looks very presidential. If only, in my lifetime, we could get a strongman in there. Then we'd fix'em.

Bush is a determined little fellow and its clear that there isn't anything he wont do to push as many illegals through the gate as possible. Whether he needs to insult the American worker in speeches, ignore unlawful incursions by Mexico military, or create secret programs to award people who break long standing immigration laws. You name it he'll do it.

[John Jorsett]

The demonstration was organized to protest a Bush proposal to create a program which offers temporary worker status for foreign workers in order to combat illegal immigration. The Senate is expected to debate the plan soon.

Does it also offer Temporary Soldier Status for the invading Mexican Army troops?

[joesnuffy]

Renegades my achin' butt...these are the real deals... The Mexican Army's main cash machine...drugs...and smuggling whatever,whoever,wherever,whenever..

No job too big...or too dirty...

If it's muy malo for el norte...we like it even better...maybe we even do that one for free eh?...well..maybe not entirely for free..we got expenses too...

imo

I believe it is more dastardly than that. He is determined to push the FTAA which will pretty much officially eliminate our Northern and Southern border.

I have no problem at all with LEGAL immigration, but border jumpers are criminals. PERIOD. When a government (Mexico) sets up an office who's specific job is to help it's citizens violate our laws with immunity, then it is time to break all ties with that government and seal the border.

The most basic function of the federal government is to secure our borders. Without secure borders, nothing else matters.

To me, aiding and abetting a hostile foreign power is treason, which is an impeachable offense.

Agreed on every one of your points.

1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.

[Flavius Josephus]

Believe me, the borders will never be eliminated going North to South. It's a one way deal. They get to come here and rob us blind, and we get to stand with our hands in the air and shut up.

Shall we ping him? Dane, that is. What ever happened to his little buddy?
