Hey he finally brought forth immigration and social security for us to debate. Both have been problems for 20+ years. It is up to congress to do the right thing. And we can do something about what congress ends up doing by putting pressure on them.

Maybe we have more to spend. It hasn't changed your life one iota.You spend your money then. It may not have changed my life directly but my children will be paying off Bush's spending spree their whole lives.

Excellent idea! If illegals and their fat-cat employers get to ride the wagon while US taxpayers pull it, it's time we all get into the wagon and see how long it rolls then. It's way past time that the US taxpayer stops being stuck on stupid. We pay the bills for everyone else and are branded "racist" by RINOs if we dare to protest that we are getting the shaft.

my children will be paying off Bush's spending spree their whole lives. Wrong. The dollar is backed by oil. We can print and spend as many dollars as we want so long as the price of oil keeps going up. The world has no say in the matter.
That can only change if the oil producers start preferring Euros, or gold. We have longstanding agreements with Saudis and others to price oil in dollars so that is not likely to happen soon.
Iran, Venezuela and Russia could try it but they won't succeed as long as we have a strong military and the will to use it in defense of the petrodollar.
BUMP.

I no longer give him the benefit of the doubt and believe he needs to be held to account like any other public servant who works for we the people.
I have said it many times on FR, GWB went downhill in January 2005 when he decided to spend his "political capital" on a shamnesty for millions of illegals wh collectively, have probably murdered and killed more people than the terrorists did on 9/11.
Lee Malvo anyone????

His voice was harsh and attitude elitist when he spoke of any opposing illegal aliens and "guest worker" programs - which is just another rerun of the 80s "amnesty" No wonder it's called Faux News.
To: GarySpFc
Too many of both IMO. The SSI program is half taken by legal immigrants.

"If we had to do it again, we probably would lead with enforcement," a White House official said(Expletive deleted!!)why does the president have a staff composed of blockheads with sh&t for brains? I'm glad these bums aren't ER docs. They would be bandaging scratches while their patient died from a sucking chest wound.

President Bush needs to take Karen Hughes from whatever she is doing now,Isn't she special envoy to the Mideast with the mission of getting them to like us?
To: The Ghost of FReepers Past
No Bush does have a principle.
Kerry wanted to make America part of Europe. Bush wants to make the US part of Latin America.

No, I don't believe that for a second. It is the illegals which are the problem.

There is NO doubt left to give.
His plan is clear and its devolving the US into a damned Socialist Community of North American, on the way to global governence.

Fred Barnes called everyone who opposes illegal aliens invading the USA "racist" on live TV - and he was quite strong when he said that.
If that is the case, then Barnes has either lost his principles or never had them to begin with. This is a point which is tragically lost on those who would encourage illegal immigration: if you want to distinguish yourselves from liberals, start by not using their tired old canards--only to say later that liberalism is vacant and doesn't win elections.

That's what a "deficit" is - we're spending money we don't have. Kind of like using a credit card when you don't have any savings - in this case, the main creditor is Communist China, from whom we are borrowing over $1 billion a day.
And yes it has changed my life, since I pay a mortage. Bernake will likely have to jack up interest rates in order to placate the foreign investors who are keeping us afloat, thus jacking up my monthly mortage payments.
