Dean: Comprehensive and Compassionate Immigration Reform Needed
March 29, 2006
Next week, Republican Senate Leader Bill Frist is likely to introduce a harmful immigration bill on to the Senate floor that will criminalize good Samaritans, including church members and clergy, and does not provide a larger, comprehensive framework for reform or a path to citizenship. Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement on President Bush and the Republican Congress's failure to lead on the issue of immigration:
"President Bush and his Republican Congress's failure to offer comprehensive solutions on immigration reform and their attempt to use the issue to divide Americans is contrary to our values as a people and does a disservice to all who live and work in this great nation. The hostile anti-immigrant bill passed by the Republican House and now being considered by the Republican Senate is not the answer. America needs comprehensive immigration reform that protects our borders, keeps our communities safe, and brings America together.
"Criminalizing families and the work of clergy is not the way forward. A comprehensive and compassionate approach must protect all U.S. workers and their wages, prevent exploitation of immigrant workers, and offer immigrants who have earned it the opportunities and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship. The American people want change, not more of the same scape-goating and ineffective, piecemeal immigration reform Republicans are proposing."

Show me one post where there's a criticism of a Republican by me today? You don't get it, you live in some fantasy world where it's always "us versus them", as if running the country is a football game. When it comes to immigration the GOP has its share of RINOs unfortunately and I'm going to fight back no matter who it is selling us out.
Again in your fantasy world. What are you talking about? Do you agree with Bush, Dean, Ted Kennedy about guest worker amnesties yes or no? If you had noticed they're all in the same ballpark on this.
If ever there was a village idiot, this guy is it.
Gee sorry you find the true of your actions so painful to hear.
The fact you won't the answer question shows you to be the political hack you are. Do you yes or no support the Bush/Dean/Leahy/Kennedy guest worker amnesty?
Gotcha.
I was kinda thinking about how much worse a bad sunburn and Montezuma'a revenge might make that little excursion.
Here's a comprehensive plan. Each illegal gets his own personal bureaucrat with a corner office in a New York skyscaper.
Support our Minutemen Patriots!
Be Ever Vigilant!
Actually Dean's idea may not be all that bad. We send back all 11 million of them. And once there, we tell them 'F*** Off, now stay there'.
