Boehner hints a back down on 'amnesty'
The Washington Times ^ | March 29, 2006 | Charles hurt

Posted on 03/29/2006 7:15:28 AM PST by surely_you_jest

House Majority Leader John A. Boehner refused yesterday to rule out compromising with the Senate to expand the House border security bill to include a guest-worker program or provisions that opponents call "amnesty." "Let's wait and see what the Senate can produce," he told reporters yesterday when asked whether House Republicans would reject the Senate Judiciary Committee's proposal to allow the estimated 12 million illegal aliens now in the U.S. to seek citizenship after paying a fine.

Bush is most assuredly not among the 80%. He is among the cheap labor globalist types who want a permanent serf population.

Then all he needed to do was do nothing and say nothing.

Hurling silly labels with no basis in reality isn't particularly persuasive.

I wasn't writing to you and again I wasn't asking for a definition. Point me to the legislation that Bush signed that said to grant defacto amnesty. Bush thinks this, Bush thinks that just doesn't cut it for me, I need to see it in writing.

He's just taking a breather.

At least, that's what D**E tells me.

See, that?

Didn't invoke the name, hence the priority ping rule is invalid.

Heh, heh.

I saw earlier, you were in line for bread. Might have missed it, but facts aren't revelant. You have to get with the current mode of FR, Bush is a bad man, that's why you were in line for bread. BTW, my bread line was only 3 hours.

It's not that Americans can't or won't do this type of work, but that they won't do this work for pathetic wages.

Yeah really those wages of $20 an hour to rebuild New Orleans are really pathetic.(eyes rolling)

" Farmers there have automated. As will American farmers, once they can no longer rely on illegals."

Some crops don't "automate" very well, most that do, have been.

If you have some ideas on how to do it, you should invest a few million into a farm and give it a try.

Is that the going wage for the illegal aliens they've trucked in to rebuild that city?

It's a pity, FR has turned into one of a 100,000 chat sites. God forbid these 'warriors' actually get out from behind their keyboards and actually do something. Oh, but wait! They sent an email(s).

It's the going wage, they need people to rebuild, but it seems the former American born residents of that city aren't interested.

GM had to deal with the last 50 years turned them into a 3rd world company and they didn't even hire illegals.

That's the great thing about having operations in Mexico----all the cheap labor with none of the illegal!

sasafras: "Bush has done jack sqwat."

Southack: "That's not true. "

"Actually Southack..........I don't mean to pile on you....but I believe Sas is correct...I've seen some figures here on FR that were kinda astonishing regarding the numbers of illegals strolling across our borders since 911. I'll try to dig up the post where I saw the figures..."

Sasafras made two points. I'm all for seeing your stats on his/her first point...but my point of disagreement was with his/her second point as shown above.

Show me the disunity among people who believe Illegals should be deported.

There's no disunity among those who believe that all illegals should be rounded up and deported.

Trouble is, nowhere near 80% think that's a realistic option. The 80% who think illegal immigration is a serious problem are all over the board on what do about it. It virtually ranges from "shoot on sight" to "make them citizens now."

There's your unity.

There is no such thing as a successful guest-worker/bracero program, i.e. they come here to work, and when the work is completed they return to their country of origin.

I don't know about "no such thing", but I know this. I lived in several European countries, courtesy of Uncle Sam, in my working days, that had guest worker programs. The offspring of those guest workers, who never left, are now home-grown terrorists and thugs, rioting and assaulting their "hosts" in the streets of those European countries.
