I hope Bush & company are closely observing what's happening within those marches and protests.

I promise I will do all in my power to help oust asinine politicians who enable those of other countries who dare, in protest, to fly foreign flags on American soil while burning a US flag with the blessings of foreign powers.

If they in Washington have no will to oppose such insurrection among foreigners, they've no business in any public offices of America.

I see no difference between them and those aiding traitors.

"....even to threatening to overthrow the US government."

ROTFLOL! "They" certainly need to try. "They" would be buried beneath the soil of their lost "conquista".

"Okay LaRaza! you've got enough clout to take Washington! Gofurit!"

[Conservative4Ever]

I live in a town where the city fathers publicly display the American flag on Cinco de Mayo. Go figure.

"This is about cheap labor."

It's not just cheap labor; it's downright slavery.

[NJ_gent]

"Does the POTUS make the laws?"

No, but he's supposed to enforce them. Hence the whole, 'Executive' thing. The laws on the books say illegals are supposed to be stopped at the border and deported when they're found to have gotten past the border. That isn't being done with any significant effort.

"Has he initiated amnisty?"

He's using his influence in Congress (what little is left) to push for amnesty.

"I thought that was Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton."

Actually, President Clinton did a lot more for border security than President Bush has done (see: Operation Gatekeeper, Operation Hold the Line, et al). President Reagan, frankly, had bigger fish to fry. He was sold on the amnesty once and be done with it plan which ended up failing miserably. President Bush is trying to sell us on the same plan we've already seen fail. How dumb is that?

As it stands, I don't think we're at the point where the President should be impeached. However, if a House-like version of the immigration reform bill goes to his desk and he refuses to sign it, I will drive down to Washington myself and start screaming through a bullhorn for Congress to draft articles of impeachment for the Executive failing to secure the United States of America, and I won't stop shouting until he's removed from office. I sincerely hope that the President's first veto is not used on this very worthwhile legislation.

[McGavin999]

Ah yes, so all those brand new citizens who were sworn in right before Clinton's second election were the product of "Project Gatekeeper".

Don't try to snow me about what a great job Clinton did, I live in Arizona and I know full well how many illegals were coming in here during his term. The safehouses were full to overflowing. If anything, things have been getting better because these safehouses have been getting raided on a pretty regular basis in the past few years. The problem the administration has is there are so many santuary cities. You tell me how you "enforce the law" when cities won't cooperate, when schools refuse to report illegals, when the INS is full of Clintonites who are fully protected by the unions?

[McGavin999]

He's not refusing, he's trying to turn a massive bureacracy around, hiring new employees and trying to do something with those who are already employed and protected by the unions. If you know ANYTHING about government, you know that you can't just fire people.

I really have to laugh at all the people who think you can just snap your finger and suddenly new technology appears, trained border guards are on duty, prisons are erected to hold the illegals who have been caught. Bush has been trying to get congress to work on immigration reform since he entered office. In the meantime, he has this little thing called the war on terror to conduct, Iraq and Afghanistan, Katrina and a few other minor details to occupy his mind. If this was such a pressing issue, why weren't you pushing it during Clinton's term, he had absolutly NOTHING of importance going on.

and is free of a criminal past

that is the rub - there is no way to verify lack of criminal behavior in Mexico. The State Dept isn't verifying it in any meaningful way right now for the hundreds of thousands of annual visa recipients who come into the country legally from Mexico

[SmoothTalker]

Of course it is supported. Their economy depends on the breaking of our laws.

[willyboyishere]

Yes, they are in the country illegally, but just wait until the time when they are officially or semi-officially
"sanctioned" as some kind of "special" or provisional "citizens"---then everything they are doing so boldly, and flagrantly now will be done with equally officially "sanctioned" representation, including yet MORE mayors of major cities, yet more law offices finagling for trumped-up "rights", yet more voluble spokesmen appearing anywhere and everywhere, too eager to play the race and ethnic card to a gullible new constituency. The only way to OFFICALLY deal with stridently obnoxious illegals is to deport them, the way it is done in Mexico and other countries. We won't do that , because our politicians ON BOTH SIDES find more of value in pandering to NEW constituencies than the OLD TRADITIONAL ones: there is so little difference between the two parites on this issue , I can only assume they both have a serious , critical eye on that 1%-3% that always sways an election. But it is the 50% that DON'T VOTE that decide our futures, as is proven by the heavily compromised actual policies that finally get voted into law. SOMETHING TO CHEW ON, and it pays to restate it: the 50% that DON"T VOTE actually hold the key to unlocking the true , always-evasive, changing- by -the -second character of American politics. It is the biggest single party of all ---the Apathy Party.

"Has he initiated amnisty?"

He's using his influence in Congress (what little is left) to push for amnesty.

---

Amnesty means to grant a pardon, and a pardon is defined as the excusing of an offense without exacting a penalty. Under this reasoning, the refusal of the President to enforce the laws effectively excuses any criminal from receiving any punishment for the committed crime and can thus be construed as granting a de facto amnesty.

[McGavin999]

And yes, he could snap his finger and stop this problem by putting the military on the border and stopping this invasion

So you want us to pull the military off the war on terror just so they can patrol the desert? Why don't you do that? No skill is needed, just get out there with your buddies and do something. Our warriors are busy.

[skeeter]

Let us face facts the only Americans left are in the Southeast, south of the Potomac River and stopping at the Rio Grand.

I'm guessing you don't get out much. Otherwise you would know just how ignorant that statement is.
