The illegal aliens and the criminals who hire them and the criminals who harbor them are getting out in the street making their desires known. It is way past time those of us who support the rule of law and secure borders did the same.
Join Veterans for Secure Borders, The Minuteman Project, Latino Americans for Immigration Reform, Mothers Against Illegal Aliens, and other groups protesting amnesty for these criminals, and demanding the government protect our borders.

FReepers should be at this rally in strength. Saturday, May 6, in Crawford, TX.
Michigan has one of the worst economies in the country and we've got plenty of illegals here already. Maybe he can explain why we need guest workers to do jobs that don't exist.
Like the ports deal Bush is on the wrong side of this issue with the voting public. He can push for it all he wants but it's doubtful the GOP House will go along with it, especially in an election year.
What is wrong with first "stopping" the leak at the borders, and then dealing with what to do with the illegal immigrants already in this country? One thing at a time, please. We did the amnesty thing in 1988 and swore never again. But here we are where we were then, millions of illegals, so now the Republicans want to reinstall a tried and failed policy. Also, 100% of the poor people I know will take any job; what is this about jobs Americans will not do? What is that about? So we should pay welfare to Americans who will not take jobs, and then hire illegal immigrants? This equation does not compute! What happened to upholding the law?
F.O.S.
Needs work:
we must remember there are individuals here illegally, doing jobs that Americans will not do,
Hmmm ... still needs more work:
we must remember there are individuals here illegally, doing jobs at a rate of pay that Americans can't live on,
Almost there:
we must remember there are individuals here illegally, doing jobs at a rate of pay that Americans can't live on, and many of the business interests backing me make a killing off of that.
Now THAT is more like what the underlying issues are here.
Get rid of welfare and there would be no jobs for illegals to take.
With all due respect for your job on the WOT....
UP YOURS JORGE!
It's kind of hard to weld the pipe unless you stop the flow first. All this guest worker, amnesty, green card, etc, issues are just a ploy to keep the congress from doing anything about the ILLEGAL migration of immigrants to America. We have existing laws already on the books that allows immigrants to get temp. work visa's and we have laws on the books that makes it illegal to work here without one unless a US Citizen. If ANY employer is caught with workers that don't have the current SS card or temp. work visa then they are in violation and should be punished to an effect that hurts their business. If the feds would cut the freebies, free health care, welfare, etc, then that would help stop the flow of illegals that have no intention of getting the current temp. work visa to work here. I'm not sure why there is any mention of "guest workers" since temp. work visa's are already on the books and is the same thing but all they have to do is enforce it and make it work.
And they're right!
To be considered as a GUEST you must first be invited.I do not recall sending out INVITATIONS!
The failure to get amnesty for illegals (under any name) was the reason GW got re-elected. Had he pushed it through during his first term, John Kerry would have been inaugurated in January 04.
Now that GW is not facing re-election, he is sending a clear message to his supporters who are against amnesty for illegals (under whatever name GW wants to call it). That clear message is: "Up your!"
The more Bush II speaks on this subject, the more he sounds like his failure father - a closet liberal.
There will be NO discussion of "Guest Worker" programs, or immigration reform until the Borders Are Secured..
Border Security is Priority #1....
Not "Economic Vitality"...
Not Immigration Reform...
It's National Security...
Deal with the immigration laws that presently exist and ENFORCE THEM...
National Security depends on Secure Borders..
There ....fixed it.
As for the "guest workers" take a look at how many "guest workers" now reside in Germany now.
If Americans won't do the jobs then that will promote innovation in technology and make the economy stronger.
A guest worker program will not help the illegal immigration problem - "Oh, they've got a guest worker program, so that means I'll decide not to sneak in now." It's nonsense.
