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 !

The Senate sent a message to the American people, that 92% of us can go to to hell. Now it's our turn to respond back, by giving them their pink slips.

Make your own fake ID Wonder if we'd get free hospitalization, college courses, etc.? Seems to work for some in this country who've been here a heck of a lot less than we have! There are a lot of these sites on the internet - for the taking.
2003 article - US Ambassador says limited "amnesty" coming soon
Snip: Garza also argued that legalizing undocumented workers was in line with the needs of the U.S. labor market. He said the size of the Mexican illegal immigrant population an estimated 4-5 million "tells us that [U.S.] employers are seeking" out Mexican labor. "Our migration policy must begin to respond to these realities," Garza said.

*** That's what they did. And they jumped all over Rove. And they said the president is not where the American people are at. The Senate is also not where the American people are at.***
Absolutely correct. We may not be parading in the streets, but we're sure as heck observant of everything going on with our nation's politicians. Those adopting a "liberal" "pro-amnesty" stance will have us to deal with. What they propose we deal with for the rest of our lives is simply unacceptable.
If these "liberal" politicians want to represent the citizens of Mexico, they need to move south of the border and see how far they can get with the Mexican government and THEIR laws concerning "immigrants" and foreigners running for public office. Are they getting gigantic kickbacks/payola/donations from big business and agriculture for "softening the stance on illegals" in order for cheap labor? Money talks after all!

we are a nation of laws, and those who come to America need to do so legally. That's why I oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants and why I support efforts to reduce and eliminate illegal immigration.

Immigration I have been greatly disturbed by the apparent ease with which many illegal immigrants have been able to cross our borders and remain within the United States undetected. Attempts to grant amnesty to illegal aliens are also of great concern to me.
