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."

We could relate to that Jefferson quote right off the bat, huh?!

[JustPiper]

Thank you so much Kimberly, any responses? I pinged one of our legalese here and trying to remember other handles that are lawyers

[JustPiper]

you nailed it!

[La Enchiladita]

I notice the article says southeast Texas and that is where Jasper is, so Vidor cannot be far.

I'm sure you stuck in your mind for that reason...

Jasper's a sad place, forever infamous. I remember they were in the path of Hurricane Rita also, got some publicity for that.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate has voted to build 370 miles of triple-layered fencing along the Mexican border.

~Of how many that are needed?!

[La Enchiladita]

Confusing the poor girl with the Pipers and the Jaspers!!

LOL!!

j/k

WASHINGTON (AP) President Bush signed a $70 billion tax-cut package and said, "The American economy is powerful, productive and prosperous and we're going to keep it that way."

You should have heard Kennedy's SCREECHING RANT about not wanting to put up this small amount of fence. I was floored. He had charts and everything. He was ticked off because whom ever introduced it, had just gotten up and basically said that the amount of fence they were talking about was so insignifcant that to say no was going to seem ridiculous to the folks at home. Kennedy came out swinging.

370 miles of fence and 500 of vehicle barriers (or so I understand).

Are the 370 plus the 500 or are they run alongside of each other?

[Smartass]

Yep, that was the post.

The two were going at it with incomplete info, and
the accusations were flying.

 

[La Enchiladita]

You are both on top of the RICO statutes and I applaud you; I'm just learning, but it seems the legislators are racing the Supreme Court on this.

How cynical!

[potlatch]

I mispoke in my earlier comment, said Bay City when I meant Beaumont, Tx. That's near Orange but I couldn't find Vidor or Jasper on a quick search. They are very small towns.

[antceecee]

Pretty much a no-brainer. Too bad they didn't okay more miles of fence and vehicle barriers.

I've confused Just Piper before because my little Yorkie is named Piper!

[JustPiper]

Cornyn speaking in favor of "guest worker," doing the soft sell, asking for Yes vote.

Uh oh, "America is a compassionate country..."

[La Enchiladita]

[JustPiper]

So is it really a Good for Ted?!
