The Congress and the President are desperate to get this issue off the table, and they will do ANYTHING to America and its real citizens to make that happen. They are worried about votes, not America. Power and control are the top priority in Washington -- not doing what is right for America, and what the WILL OF THE MAJORITY dictates.
Washington is a disgrace and I am sure, a MAJOR embarrasment to our founding fathers.
I can see Bush's finger prints all over what's going on right now. One of his priorities when he ran in 2000 was to normalize this situation.
I've noticed reports in the last year of tightening on the border, with employers of illegals griping they can't get enough workers. This ramps up the pressure on their side to ask for some kind of guest worker program.
Also, It's apparent that the Catholic Bishops have helped organize a lot of these marches. These were synchronized with a full-court-press in the senate by the Republicans. This is like when Reagan worked with John Paul II against the communists. It's good to see Bush has the brains to work quietly with the Catholic church.
All these things didn't happen by chance. Bush is synchronizing a very large effort to turn up the heat on everybody involved so that he can get a permanent and workable fix for this.
The greatest disgrace would be if nothing were done. Bush is making d@mn sure that something gets done. It won't be perfect, and nobody will be entirely happy. But I believe we will be better off if we can get the "illegal" stigma out of the way, and begin to assimilate these people. We simply must do that, or this country becomes Mexico North. Not by "revolution", but with demographics.
If the GOP is so worried about votes they'd do everything within their power to stop this invasion/amnesty, for there's no way in the RNC's wildest dreams that these people would ever vote Republican. ....no matter how enthusiastic their pandering/ass-kissing.
And of course the GOP should be worried about losing a significant number of their traditional voters if they continue to pursue this course. I'm sure they believe that we have "nowhere else to go," but they're dead wrong.
Total agreement here. I would even go a step farther.
The citizens that elect these nincompoops in DC are the real embarassment to our American legacy.
Thomas Jefferson (I think he was the one) said that American soil needs to be irrigated with blood every so often, both the blood of invaders and the blood of patriots.
