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.

Yep, creating wealth and sending it right across the border

Wealth creation benefits everybody, except in the minds of those who think the pie is only so big(jesse jackson, hillary, etc.etc)

"I'm making good use of the ICE phone number I got here on FR yesterday and I'm draining the swamp of illegals here on the west side of Bridgeport now..."

That's good. You should report criminal activity and border violations.

But be sure to not send our agents on goose chases. Make certain that you are reporting illegals, not just "people who look like Mexicans."

Don't worry, it's just a nose-bleed.

He'll back on his feet in a moment.

you do seem cocksure of telling others how to run their's, kinda of like hillary...

Thorin, you've been DANED! Now you must live with the shame of being told that you're "kinda of like hillary", much as I must now live with the shame of being told that I want to bring back the Soviet Union.

One-worlder internationalist Bush does do a little window dressing here and there, but overall he is for an amnesty and little border enforcement.

"You show me a person who voted for Bush in 2004 and didn't know how he would come down on this issue and I'll show you someone who isn't ready to be voting."

I'll show you a whole lot of people that went with Bush on national security because Kerry scared the hell out of them, just as Gore did four years previously, but held their nose while casting that vote over illegal immigration. And, now that it's come out in the open, you're hearing about it in droves.

>>>>>>What are you talking about Japan has to import rice for God sakes.

Japan is largely self-sufficient in rice, an impressive feat for a country with its geography. And Australia, a country without mass immigration, is an agricultural powerhouse.

I have no trouble believing that employers should obey the law. Seems like a pretty elementary proposition to me. Or are farmers and owners of janitorial services above the law?

By the way, you ignored my point. In places largely unaffected by mass immigration, janitorial work still gets done--by Americans.

Yes janitorial work still gets done, so why your animus and zeal to control how a janitorial company hires people.

LOL.

Thanks for the pics.

I'm sure these idiots don't notice the irony of their signs.

You couldn't find bigger racists at a Kluxer rally, or an online gathering of Stormfags.

OK Troll The Sequel, get on the ground floor before you chime in. Your little stupid inference doesn't answer my original question. I didn't ask for a definition and I don't recall even addressing you, I asked for what legislation did Bush sign that gives Amnesty?

And that rice is very expensive and they won't let other quality imports in to give the Japanese consumer a break.

Yes Australia is an agricultural powerhouse, but not as much as the American agricuture industry, whom you wish to regulate and oversee like a right wing hillary.

Thorin and Junior_G, you must accept that in dealing with Dane you are dealing with a traitor for money who has no discernible moral values other than a sociopathic kind of greed that is utterly contemptuous of things like obeying the law.

You have to comprehend when you are dealing with someone with the values of a drug dealer or slave trader.

McDonald's in the Ann Arbor Mi. area starts burger flippers at over $10 hr., they always have help wanted signs out.

There are a bunch of $10+ hr. jobs out there going unfilled.

I vote we end all welfare for any able bodied person, ban the unions so employers can fire the slugs, then anyone that wont work we can deport to some socialist country like France.

"One-worlder internationalist Bush does do a little window dressing here and there, but overall he is for an amnesty and little border enforcement."

Internationalistic one-worlders hate President Bush because he went into Iraq "unilaterally" in their minds as well as because he killed the Kyoto Treaty on Global Warming and dissed the Left's dream judiciary: the International Criminal Court.

So you seem to be misinformed.

This is uniting the country, it's one of the only subjects that 80% of the people agree on. The only people it's dividing is the Bush-Bots from the rest of the country.

Your unity is only on the issue of whether illegal immigration is a problem.

There is massive amounts of disunity about how to best address that. President Bush is among those 80%, so your conclusion is a statement of wishful thinking on your part.

Because I love America and Americans, and put the interests of my country and my countrymen ahead of the interests of foreigners.
