Boehner hints a back down on 'amnesty'

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.

What is your point? You seem to want to fight with me over your identifying with the term "menopausal bushbot housewife league".

ROTFLMAO! I love it.

"We have many who attend our church and actually dress up and their children are well-behaved, unlike some of the Anglos. I also have had contact with them in restaurants and in landscaping work I have had done, and they were the hardest working people I have ever met."

I have had the same experience.

I think the sending them home to apply for guest worker status is a non-starter. I think we will end up with some type of legal status for those that are already here and my hope is that the fence is built to stop the flow of illegals in the future.

[Coop]

Okay, understood. And I'll keep an eye out! We're probably heading up for a visit Saturday evening.

[Coop]

From reading some of Coop's posts, he sounds like he can handle whatever comes his way.

You're starting to catch on. :-) Did a buddy FReepmail you?

"Are you said keyboard coward? If not, I'm afraid I'm not following you."

Still have that problem of not being able to think through logical processes?

"I meet our brave troops virtually every day. "

Now is your chance to meet them in person and express your heartfelt feelings towards them.

---

"I'm not picking a meeting place until you set the agenda"

The meeting agenda is to present you with a lifetime reminder of the respect our fighting men deserve.

"Sweetie"

Again with the gay stuff?

[Coop]

Now is your chance to meet them in person and express your heartfelt feelings towards them.

Thanks, but I do that quite often without your assistance.

I dunno. Still sounds kinda like a threat. You're really not very good at this, are you?

No, should they?

[Coop]

Yeah, someone probably should help you out, before you get the rope fully knotted around your neck. Let me feed you a few more feet of line...

Apparently not, long time member with very few posts. :~)

Hey Danny Boy, I never said that I was in favor of amnesty. I simply asked you to outline how you would implement a program. You are wound up a bit too tight, dude. Take a pill and chill out. I'm gonna go and get some air.

I didn't read where you said you were against Bush's and the GOP proposals, either.

Yours and the GOP's solution is to give the lawbreakers what they want.

My solution is to start actually enforcing the laws already on the books. Like the one that fines employers $10,000 per day per violation. Want to take a stab at how many fines were levied by Bush's ICE last year?

The Border Patrol rounded up and deported 422 illegals in Temecula in 2004. It sent shockwaves through the illegal community and their apologists.

Did the Bush administration support the Border Patrol's actions? They did NOT. Instead, Bush's man at ICE, Asa Hutchinson stopped the sweeps and repremanded the agents responsible. (Union official: Frustration grows at Temecula Border Patrol station, Bush official slammed for stopping illegals sweeps)

Asa said that while the sweeps were legal, they violated policy because they hadn't been cleared through Washingon.

This is the GOP solution to the problem of illegals. And from what I can tell from your musings, it is your solution, too.

If I'm wound up, it's because of yellow-bellied sap-suckers like you and the GOP who throw down your weapons and throw up your arms at the sight of 12 million Mexican illegal aliens.

Remember the Alamo?

I guess Santa Anna won after all, didn't he?

Don't mess with Texas, indeed. More like, TexansKissMexicanButts, if you ask me.

"If the people on the border don't believe that the wall will have the effect that people here think, then we ought to reconsider it," he said.

The first time that anybody has ever listened to the people on the border and this is all that he got out of it?

[Coop]

Remember the Alamo? I guess Santa Anna won after all, didn't he?

Yeah, Santa Ana had a pretty decisive victory there. A+ for your history knowledge, C- for its relevance.

Bump of support

You're welcome to the first, and cry me a river on the second.

[Rokke]

Please take me off your ping list.

Uh...I would not call the Alamo a "decisive" victory for Santa Anna in the least. While it is true that he killed all the defenders and took the old mission...what he lost in order to do that, both in the march to the battle, and in the battle itself was a horrendous cost.

And that is not to mention the ire of the people he raised against whom he was fighting that ultimately contributed to his overall loss of the war, and Texas.

I would. It was put into the context of the Alamo... period.

Yes, he won the battle but lost the war. Muis bien!

You do not believe that such a showing of the American flag was a disgrace? Or that is has any meaning?

While its overall relevence may be questioned at this point (but I do not believe it will be in the long run because as more Americans see it and are made aware of the true nature and extent of the problem, which that flag raising punctuates, they will be motivated to act), it is still a highly affrontive and disgraceful act on its own.

[Coop]

Of course I do. Again, context. Lumping that photo in with a salute to veterans is also a disgrace.
