Bush set for immigration speech

BUSH SET FOR IMMIGRATION SPEECH

WHITE HOUSE President Bush is getting set for a prime-time speech on
immigration tomorrow night.

Aides note the 8 p-m, Eastern Time, speech will be the president's first from the Oval Office that does not involve Iraq and the war on terrorism. And they say that reflects Bush's
"passion" on immigration.

He's speaking as the Senate is poised to clear a compromise measure including his idea for a guest worker program. However, a rival House bill is limited to a border crackdown, and meshing the two won't be easy.

Stand Up For America !

"We have room for but one flag, the American flag...
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...
And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

You're right...
Snow and heat doesn't mix. Usually melts, and evaporates.

I hope Hastert doesn't have any skeletons in his closet.

Isn't it time to clean house of the old farts and get all new blood in there.....maybe yearly renewal. Do away with this political agenda, lobbyists, favors owed crud.

Maybe someone has figured out a way to taint the congressional water cooler so they have all turned into idiots. On the other hand, I'm thinking we are idiots for putting them there. That would be the one's who voted for them, what's up with Frist, Lindsay Graham et al? I guess Lindsay isn't running for President again, he's toasted himself good as has McCaniac, only he won't admit it to himself. His ego is way to large to have any sense whatsoever. Does he really think all these illegal alien pimped votes are the only way he can get elected?

Immigration -we must insist that our laws are obeyed and respected by those who wish to live here. Republicans and Democrats alike agree that many of today's illegal immigration problems are a direct result of a broken legal immigration system. For example, almost half of all illegal immigrants enter the United States on tourist visas and never leave

Some illegal aliens in the United States have been arrested and incarcerated in federal and state prisons and local jails, adding to already overcrowded prisons and jails. On April 7, 2005, the US Justice Department issued a report on criminal aliens that were incarcerated in federal and state prisons and local jails.

In the population study of 55,322 illegal aliens, researchers found that they were arrested at least a total of 459,614 times, averaging about 8 arrests per illegal alien. Nearly all had more than 1 arrest. Thirty-eight percent (about 21,000) had between 2 and 5 arrests, 32 percent (about 18,000) had between 6 and 10 arrests, and 26 percent (about 15,000) had 11 or more arrests. Most of the arrests occurred after 1990.

They were arrested for a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses, averaging about 13 offenses per illegal alien. One arrest incident may include multiple offenses, a fact that explains why there are nearly one and half times more offenses than arrests. Almost all of these illegal aliens were arrested for more than 1 offense. Slightly more than half of the 55,322 illegal aliens had between 2 and 10 offenses.

More than two-thirds of the defendants charged with an immigration offense were identified as having been previously arrested. Thirty-six percent had been arrested on at least 5 prior occasions; 22%, 2 to 4 times; and 12%,1 time.

Sixty-one percent of those defendants had been convicted at least once; 18%, 5 or more
times; 26%, 2 to 4 times; and 17%, 1 time. Of those charged, 49% had previously been
convicted of a felony: 20% of a drug offense; 18%, a violent offense; and 11%, other felony offenses. Twelve percent had previously been convicted of a misdemeanor.

Defendants charged with unlawful reentry had the most extensive criminal histories. Nine
in ten had been previously arrested. Of those with a prior arrest, half had been arrested
on at least 5 prior occasions.

Fifty-six percent of those charged with a reentry offense had previously been convicted
of a violent or drug-related felony. By contrast, under half of those charged with
alien smuggling, a third of those charged with unlawful entry, and just over a quarter those
charged with misuse of visas and other charges had previously been arrested. The criminal
histories of these defendants were generally less extensive: more than 70% had been
previously arrested fewer than 5 times.
