His speech started about 8 minutes ago. You can listen live at http://760kfmb.com/listen_live/
I wondered about that very same line... I'm not sure who "people" are anymore. It sure isn't ordinary American citizens to whom he has paid attention.
Great tagline!

Yes, those numbers tell it all. It has to be a planned, coordinated effort to have done so little.

Thanks, I stole it...I mean, borrowed it...from an online article.
Aren't there enough political soap opera fantasy threads for you? What are you doing on a thread where real issues are being discussed?
His statements today will simply spur an increase in attempts to cross the border illegally. They will obviously have little problem succeeding.
Lol! You have the best graphics!! (And of course, I'm copying and saving them...)
Speaking of not pressing 1 for English, whenever I use an atm card or credit card and the machine asks me to pick a language, I skip that step. IF the default language ever comes up as NOT english, I will quit utilized that establishment! (Hasn't happened yet)
The issue of a guest worker program is completely separate from the issue of illegal aliens.
We have a guest worker program. It may need to be reformed but illegal aliens are those who have not applied to be guest workers. There are 11 million of them. (or more) The only thing needing reform now concerns illegal aliens and border security. We need to enforce the existing laws respecting the presence and employment of illegal aliens and border security.
Border security is the number one problem in this debate. The flood of illegal aliens is a major factor in relation to our lack of border security but it is only one factor. There is also a matter of national security in a time of war and in an age when terrorists have set their sights on inflicting mass destruction on our society.
After the issues of border security and millions of illegal foreign nationals on our soil the matter of guest workers is very small. Until the first two problems are thoroughly and firmly addressed the guest worker issue should not even be discussed.
Immigration and a guest worker program are separate issues from the above.
The President the Senate and the House need to get that message with unambiguous resolve.
Secure the border!
Crack down on employers!
(The dog-and-pony show catch-and-release won't cut it either.)
No anchor babies!
Deport illegal aliens.
Bring in immigrants who have been waiting for years with papers in hand!
Nothing else will do.
Now is the time to put the pressure on!"According to this new bill that's tied up in the Senate, illegal immigrants who can prove they've been here for two years would be allowed to stay. So follow the logic here. If you can prove you broke the current law for two years, you've protected under the new law." --Jay Leno
MarineInspector was saying that the ICE funding was cut at some point. Can't remember when though...
AM, Can you please add a link to the full transcript at post #539 to the original body of the thread? TIA

If these numbers are correct, it's downright embarrassing.
He is simply wrong on the borders, wrong on illegal aliens and vague on immigration reform.
Bush had a line in the Q&A session just for you:
"We got people who aren't willing to -- they want to play -- they want to make the other person look bad, as opposed to make the country look good."
Keep trying to make Bush look bad. You and the liberals of the world just might succeed. My money is on President Bush because most of our citizens still understand what is necessary to be the leader of the free world.
Did we win this thread?
