Will he be speaking english or spanish (or spanglish)?

That has to be the funniest line I have heard in days. Too funny.

I spent time yesterday collecting signatures for the Colorado ballot initiative to end taxpayer-funded services for illegal immigrants, and I can attest to the fact that people are very angry with Bush and Congress for allowing our country to be overrun by invaders from the south.

I had many people sign the petition, and then tell me that they voted for Bush both times, but feel betrayed, since Bush no longer supports U.S. citizens when it comes to the illegal immigration issues.

Regardless of what the Bush bots on this forum like to tell us, the anger with Bush and Congress is real and widespread.

My guess is that Bush's speech on Monday night will be layered with "Jobs Americans won't do" and will offer nothing to the mother I spoke to yesterday that has no clue how she is going to afford the high in-state-tuition for her second child (yet illegal immigrants want in-state tuition), or to the mother that took her little boy to the emergency room after a mishap and had to wait six hours while the illegal immigrants were seen for minor problems.

Unless Bush does a complete turn-around and advocates closing the borders now and enforcing the law, average Americans are only going to become more angry.

He won't do a complete turn-around ... but I would be surprised if he doesn't make some strong overtures toward the conservative base ... and improving security at the border.

I simply cannot imagine him going on national TV and rubbing McCain/Kennedy in the face of angry conservatives.

Alas, it's all guesswork at this point though.

high in-state tution? Might as well take out a 3rd mortgage and send them to a private school. Less indoctrination that way (if a bit pricey)
