President Bush "And so I'd like to tell the American people we are a nation of law, but that doesn't preclude us from being a welcoming nation. I think a system which forces people underground and into the shadows of our society, which causes people to have to sneak across our border and risk their life, is a system that needs to be changed. "
OK, so we are the problem.. we cause people to sneak across the border. LOOK.. The system that is broke is the system in Mexico!!
President Bush's comment is so lame it needs no clarification...
You're so right, but this country is breaking FAST!
Sounds like an argument against law and order to me. Our laws force people underground? What people, lawbreakers? Our laws force people into the shadows of society? So we should dispense with our laws, rather than the lawbreakers?
And what madness is this? Our system "causes people to have to sneak!" "Causes people to risk their life." We have laws against burglary that cause people to sneak and risk their life---if they choose to burglarize houses.
And if the system---i.e., the laws---force people into the shadows and cause them to sneak, etc., etc., we should toss out all the drug laws for the very same reasons. All the nation's addicts and crack whores can come out of the shadows too!
Yes, sir, laws are bad. Without them we wouldn't have lawbreakers, right?
And tomorrow, Mrs. Bush will say we're all racists. We were sexists about Harriet Miers and this is a thousand times worse.
