BUSH'S OPEN-BORDERS PLATITUDES
MichelleMalkin.com ^ | March 25, 2006 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 03/25/2006 3:06:09 PM PST by Boston Blackie

We are not a "nation of immigrants." This is both a factual error and a warm-and-fuzzy non sequitur. Eighty-five percent of the residents currently in the United States were born here. Sure, we are almost all descendants of immigrants. But we are not a "nation of immigrants."

(Isn’t it funny, by the way, how the politically correct multiculturalists who claim we are a “nation of immigrants” are sooo insensitive toward Native American Indians, Native Alaskans, Native Hawaiians, and descendants of black slaves who did not “immigrate” here in any common sense of the word?)

Even if we were a “nation of immigrants,” it does not explain why we should be against sensible immigration control.

Good 'ol Fox New Channel...the LEAD stories are the murder in Tennessee and the murders in Seattle. Get your priorities straight, you idiots. To the nation as a whole; these murders are irrrelevant. The situation in the Southwest threatens us ALL, along with YOUR children and grandchildren.

In terms of security what people forget is should someone want to come to America and do us harm and should they find our borders to the north or south impenetrable all they need to do is get a boat.

Bush's fault, literally. His second-term is circling the drain over this issue.

EXCELLENT characterization of the situation! Worth repeating:

Bush's fault, literally. His second-term is circling the drain over this issue.

You forgot "vigilante militants".

You forgot hate-filled, fascist bigots and oppressors of the innocent peoples of color of the third world.

No flames from me. Reasoned observation and experience trump inexperienced keyboard hyperbole. Welcome to Texas. Are you just visiting, or is your FR homepage incorrect? Most Texans that I know are not screaming for a wall, machine gun nests, or mass deportations. We want the people that desire to immigrate OR work as alien residents, that follow the law and process, to be given the respectful treatment that they deserve. Those who choose to pay the coyote should not be given priority. They should have the option of "getting back in the line" to obtain legal status. In a perfect world, they would have to repatriate to their homeland. Since our world is not perfect, there should be a means of getting back in line. And there is, if one looks in the phone book. Immigration attorneys abound, even if they are about as highly regarded as the coyote.

Don'tcha love the part of his speech when he says "jobs Americans won't do", as if he's talking about a bunch of spoiled toddlers who won't wear their bibs.

Isn't it interesting how a group of genuine American patriots who put everything on the line to defend the country in places like Iraq and Afghanistan immediately become a bunch of lazy, illiterate deadbeats with a chip on their shoulders and their hands out for a freebie when they come home and return to civilian life.

I know I will get flamed for saying this, but Bush is a horrible President.

You get no argument from me. There was a time when I thought G.W. Bush was eligible to join those fine Presidents on Mt. Rushmore. No more. I voted for him twice and am sorely disappointed.

You are right, there are some good things accomplished in his administration, but this illegal/border problem overwhelms the good things. This is truly awful.

"The real reason there is a so-called labor shortage in the U.S. is because of abortion."

There is no labor shortage here. That is a bald-faced lie. There are currently 12 million able-bodied US citizens of working age either unemployed or on entitlement programs. Most would return to gainful employment in short-order were it not for the deflationary wage pressures created by illegal immigration. There is NO job Americans won't do provided it pays enough to take care of the bills, and keep the family fed. There is NO job currently unfilled due to a lack of manpower.

I'm the first to admit, I too would run, jump crawl or do anything to get out of that above ground cesspool known as Mexico/Latin America.

But when I was caught and sent home, I'd certainly understand why.

Import the Third world, become the Third World.

"But let's be careful to segregate the many difficulties cited above from the vast majority of the illegal immigrant population. I feel much better and safer walking through a group of illegals and their families having a very nice protest march than I would with a bunch of leftists. The leftists would happily physically attack me. These folks are the salt of the earth, and I'd trust them with my life."

Actually, both probably posess inherently criminal mindsets. Please do go to LA, and say anything to the effect that criminals are actually criminals during the middle of this ILLEGAL immigrant rally, and you're likely to be torn limb-from-limb. Don't fool yourself, or try to fool anyone here.

Someone who has broken a Federal law likely has even less respect for the rest of our legal code, our society in general, or the individual American citizens who compose it.

Please do consult with some American citizens who've worked along-side illegal aliens. The majority of them bear ill-will towards American citizens and America. They may lick the hand that feeds them now, but they'd gladly bite it if they could get away with it.

"Apparently, since you believe that this immigration problem is ALL "Bush's fault", then it must have begun after he took office."

Nope. The present situation is Bush's fault because he's failed to take action even though his party controls both houses of congress and the executive branch, has for a number of years, and he failed to take action to address the problem even after 9/11.

If he gave his approval, serious reform would take effect in less than a month in the form of passage of HB 4437.

No kidding.

If it weren't for the "right"-and I enclosed that word in quotation marks for a specific reason-then we wouldn't have the disastrous situation we're facing right now, i.e. 12 million-AT THE LEAST-illegal aliens roaming around this country ad libitum.
