President George W. Bush is likely to get a large welcome from the county's highly vocal anti-illegal immigration activists when he comes to Irvine on Monday morning to pitch his immigration plan.

This question made sense: "If we throw out the current farm workers, are freepers going to pick strawberries?"
No amnesty, deport them all, secure the borders. And, oh, yeah, vote third party in Nov if they don't fix this situation by then.
"OC is something like 1/3rd Hispanic"
So? Being hispanic doesn't make one part of the open borders lobby.
"As to the so called amenesty issue, guess what, something like it is going to happen."
I BEEEEELIEEEEEVE!
"The majority in this country will not stand for massive deportation. And the courts won`t go for it either."
And the courts would stop it how?
No one, for the 100th time, is advocating deporting all illegals. You crack down on employers, jobs dry up, the magnet ends and they deport themselves. Secure the borders and most can't come back.
"If we throw out the current farm workers, are freepers going to pick strawberries?"
Depends. Are they able-bodied, on welfare with no job? Sure. If they're a teenager? Sure. I don't see how the question is relevent to those who are employed with decent paying jobs.
If the pay was good, your darn right I'd pick 'em. On the other hand, thats like asking if your maid gets deported, will you clean your own house? If your landscaper gets deported, will you cut your own grass? ad nauseam. These jobs will get done. Get the illegals out and replace them with legals. Build the fence, do it now.
No wonder you spend so much time denigrating Tancredo. Your basic OBL agenda is showing.
Bush will speak to the Orange County Business Council between 8 and 9 a.m. at the Hyatt Regency Irvine, 17900 Jamboree Road, according to Myal Greene, spokesman for U.S. Rep. John Campbell, R-Irvine.
Do we need 12 million strawberrry pickers?
Where are you going to be?
So, the answer is "not for that pay"?
De acuerdo. The problem now is strictly 'damage control.' We can slow down "Hispanification." It is too late to stop it.
Program elements: Strict border control, SOME deportation, some attrition of those who will return home and then not be able to get back in, an absolute end to government services for illegal aliens, and an end to birthright citizenship.
Will Bush get the message in time to pull the Republican Party back from their self destruct mode?
"Will Bush get the message in time to pull the Republican Party back from their self destruct mode?"
Based on what he is doing and saying now, I don't think so.
People are madder than I have ever seen them over the lack of willingness to enforce our laws.
For every 1 Hispanic vote the GOP picks up they will lose 3 votes of people here.
The "law and order party" will get tossed out on their asses.
I hear a lot of "well, are you going to vote for a DEMOCRAT, then what will you have?"
Look folks, the average person on the street blames Bush for high gas prices! They aren't that sophisticated! But they ARE mad as hell.
Bush's pants are on fire and he's trying to put it out with a bucket of gasoline
This is from another post on this thread:
Bush will speak to the Orange County Business Council between 8 and 9 a.m. at the Hyatt Regency Irvine.
The president has repeatedly said he favors a comprehensive approach to immigration overhauls, one that strengthens borders and includes a guest-worker program that matches "willing workers with jobs that Americans won't do." That position puts him at odds with many Republicans in Orange County, including Campbell, who plans to attend the Monday event in his district.
