Wow, maybe Bush should listen to this. It may save a few Republican seats this fall! I, for one, will vote for the constitutional candidate if amnesty passes in the guise of a "guest worker" program. Bush be warned, the people of this country want to retain their soverienty!

[right right]

We need 2 fences. The first one about 100 yards inside the border. Make it 25 fett tall with all the razor wire, glass, etc. with armed guards, dogs, cameras, etc. placed in strategic places. Then a second fence about 3 foot tall right on the border. There would be no guards on this fence. We then put all our prisoners in between the two fences.

Mexico would have to guard the 3 ft fence or let our prisoners into their country. Do you think they may decide to build a fence too? I'm sure there would be a need to keep their poor helpless people away from this 3 ft fence too as they would be fodder for the bad guys.


Hey Vicente, you have NO power in this fight unless our idiot coward Congressmen give it to you.

More from this poll:

Seventy-one percent of Americans asked say they are more likely to vote for a candidate who favors tighter controls on illegal immigration, compared with 11 percent who would be less likely, according to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll conducted in mid-March.

A "We don't want our slaves freed!" ping.

It's MORE than 59%. This is a winner for ANY candidate in 2006... 2008... IF they have the cajones to actively support it! It crosses over well from red to blue states and would eviscerate the Dem's come election time should a Republican embrace it.

I like Rush's comments about us not paying taxes anymore! He has a point!

Freedumb2003's Guest Worker Program

1. Only offer jobs when a potential worker is matched to a true opening at prevailing wages (we could borrow from the Cal State system to determine "prevailing wages") to ensure we don't push down the local economy.
2. Require that the guest worker apply from and in his/her native country
3. Require and that there be regular "breaks" where they have to return to their country for 3 or 4 contiguous weeks per year.
4. No family allowed, except for brief visits here. They worker can visit their native country all they want, within the normal limits of employment agreements.
5. After a certain number of years of following the rules, they could apply for temporary permanent residency and them follow the standard path to permanent residency and citizenship now in place.
6. The employer would be required to offer health insurance, at the most reasonable rates possible, and it would be mandatory for the guest worker to enroll and pay for it.
7. No particular country would be "preferred" and participant slots would be reflective of the respective native country's overall population, with caps established by a commission.
8. I think all this makes too much sense to ever be done

Bush is tone deaf when it comes to his base. Or maybe he only understands Spanish.

Polls: Illegals a Serious Problem in U.S

After what the traitors in the Senate did today the story will be: "Polls: Mexicans say American citizens a serious problem for them in the U.S. "However" said a La Raza spokesperson, "not for long."

[Mogollon]

In addition to the 4437 or similiarly strict immigration bill the U.S. congress needs to pass a federal law patterned after Prop 200 in Arizona. It's a very simple common-sense law that requires a voter to show a valid ID such as a drivers license or SS Card (new non-forgeable) before they vote.

[BlueStateDepression]

Most people in the United States(outside the Congress) think illegal immigration is a serious problem. A solid majority(outside the congress) oppose making it easier for illegal immigrants to become legal workers or citizens.

There, that is better.
