More than an hour before Bush arrived, protesters from the Minuteman Project the volunteer border patrol group whose co-founder ran for Congress in Orange County were chanting "Go back to Mexico" and "God Bless America."

Across a driveway, a cluster of demonstrators also chanted and waved peace signs to protest:

the Minuteman group,
Bush's immigration policy and
the war in Iraq.

LOL!

WHATEVER it is, these guys are against it!

[fhlh]

Wait? I thought they liked the fact Bush wants illegals to get amnesty (guest worker)... is it just the fact they hate any and all things Bush? The DNC/Liberals are sooo f'n lost.

[cripplecreek]

They aren't the same group. There were minutemen there protesting but there were pro illegals protesting as well as the anti war crowd. They aren't together.

It seems rational to me and logical to me to say, 'OK, fine, you can come and do a job Americans won't do for a temporary period of time with a tamperproof card,'" Bush said

. I hate that saying more than pretty much anything short of Allah Akbar. What a crock of you know what!

[EagleUSA]

The entire situation is shocking. And it all falls in the lap of Washington. Without question.

OK, when do we start building the fence???

Nearby, anti-Minuteman demonstrators chanted "We didn't cross the border, the border crossed us."

Was Albert Einstein among the protestors? I mean, it is theoretically impossible, under Relativity, to know if the immigrants crossed the border or the border moved under them, but you'd have to completely ignore human agency for that to work. No, sirs, I think you crossed the border.

"Bush is a traitor to this country," Coe said.

Just another example of the right wing being infiltrated by idiots to discredit conservative goals.

Yeah, comments like that will REALLY help.

Clinton was our first black President, Bush is our first Mexican President!

Raymond Herrera of Victorville, Calif., protests outside the Hyatt hotel in Irvine, Calif., where President Bush spoke to Orange County Business Council on Monday. Herrera joined approximately 150 Minuteman Civil Defense Corps members to challenge the President's immigration policy. Several hundred war protesters also rallied against Bush.

[wolfcreek]

So many demands for one President!

[Democratshavenobrains]

This shows that compromising earns Bush no support. He should just pick the hard right side and stay on it.

...Marya Bangee, 19, was one of about 20 Muslin students from the University of California, Irvine who came to protest the president...

Muslin?

UCI apparently has a REALLY "diverse" student body!

-"If a fence doesn't work then why does Bush have one around the White House?" Weller asked.-

I was wondering that very same thing.
