We've agree on that for some time now. One of us wasn't paying attention. LOL I can't explain the Senate bill nor the President's direction on this. I don't feel we need NEW laws, or a NEW immigration policy. What we need is for the policy (laws) we already have to be enforced. I do not agree with President Bush's stance on this issue. But as I've been trying to point out on this thread, I don't think it behooves us to jump ship (so to speak) on the Republican party. I don't believe for one minute that the Dems would do any better. And in other issues facing our country, I'm quite sure we'd be far worse off than we are now if the Dems were in control. That is such a, "well, no duh!" statement, I can't believe I'm even having to say that to a FRiend. ;)
You've got to present a credible threat to those you want to motivate.
Let's say someone is behind on their car payments. You call them up and they give you a song and dance and promise to pay, but don't. You call again and they give you a sob story and promise to pay, but don't. You call again and tell them that if they don't pay you'll have to repo their car. They ask who's going to pay if you take their car, and think they have you in a bind.
At that point you send a tow truck out and drag that heap away. If you don't, word will spread and more people simply won't pay. We're at that point with our leadership on this issue. They've put us off and faked us out. Now there are 20 million illegals squatting on our lands.
If we don't repo their offices, we're out of business as a Republic.
