Pukin, these anti-Bush folks are a one note orchestra. They've got nothing important to say even when they aren't bitching and whining.
The scuttlebutt is that the President has heard our complaints, and intends to propose that no worker program will be implemented until the borders are certified as secured.
1. Amesty in any form is still unacceptable under the rule of law.
2. Talk is cheap - I'll believe it when I see it, six months till election day.....tick tock - tick tock
(nice use of "negative nabobs" ! a throw-back to the nixon administration!)
I doubt that very much, although I'd be delighted to see it happen. I'll check in on this thread to eat crow if he does announce a no-wiggle-room policy of border control.

I believe we will see some strong overtures toward conservatives ... I can think of no other good reason for this speech.
I agree. Let the man speak.
Congre$$ is already actually talking about building some fences finally, actually paying more attention to the borders and committing additional resources.
We need to remember Our gubamint is a big clumsy thing of a ship and takes a while to change directions.
"I think all the negative nabobs on this thread should shut their traps until they hear what the President has to say. The scuttlebutt is that the President has heard our complaints, and intends to propose that no worker program will be implemented until the borders are certified as secured".
If the President has heard our complaints and intends to propose no worker program be implemented until the borders are secure, then OUR COMPLAINTS seem to have worked. Build a fence and I'll shut up.
If you're right, I will be one of the first ones applauding him. Then I will be cautiously optimistic. I've been burned by the Republicans on this issue too many times to be anything more than that.

If he does that his numbers go up 10 points in a week. I believe the problem is that so many of us have lost faith in the President doing the right thing on immigration. He has been tone deaf on the issue for 5 years. He has reversed stupid positions before as in the Miers nimination and the Ports issue so perhaps he will do what the country has been demanding for over a decade.
If he does not he is through. His numbers will hit the teens.
