What are we supposed to do, let every person who wants to come over the border? We're not going to do that, and Fox should be told as much in no uncertain terms.

He'll never do it, but what would benefit Bush right now would be for him to basically tell Fox to stuff it, and mind his own business.

Mexico is the last country in the Western Hemisphere (aside from maybe Cuba, Venezuela or Bolivia) to be lecturing the U.S. on pretty much anything.

Is Vincente getting a little worried? Needs to shore up his base (GW)?

Very good news. This situation is not going to get under control until we get Mexico to cooperate. Forget the carrot, Mexico needs the stick (trade restrictions, taking illegal immigrant social services out of any aid we send them, etc.) Plus, if we get firm with Mexico, this will give the very heavily attacked forces of law and order in Mexico a little more support. In a country where the thugs can burn good policemen to death in public and the national government just shrugs, the rule of law needs heavy support from outside.

Bush and Fox agreed that a comprehensive immigration reform is needed in the United States.

When the hell is Bush going to make Fox agree to some reforms of his own? This whole gambit stinks and it looks like Bush fell into the trap of appearing answerable to mexico rather than vice-versa.

I posted this about one minute after you. It got pulled, rightfully so.

I think Bush's speech is going to be an attempt to please everyone and will wind up pleasing no one.

Mexican President Vicente Fox telephoned President Bush and said - "Our corrupt economy sucks so we're NEVER gonna stop sending our people to illegally work in your country. click...."

Hello.

Hello?

A couple of threads from yesterday about the upcoming speech:

Several reports have said the 'announcement of troops' is what is proposed in the Goode Amendment to the House bill. See below the reference to post #40 for the actual amendment.

[Thread 1]
BUSH'S PLAN TO STEM ALIEN TIDE

===

[Thread 2]
Another Scam? (the troops have no arrest or detention powers - only for one year)

See post #40 of the linked thread for full text of the Goode Amendment to put troops on the border.

""We've got National Guard members on their second, third and fourth tours in Iraq," Hagel said. "We have stretched our military as thin as we have ever seen it in modern times. And what in the world are we talking about here, sending a National Guard that we may not have any capacity to send up to or down to protect borders?"

Hagel, you stinking SOB. This is a fight that is greater than Iraq, greater than Osama and greater than anything since WWII. Your ilk will have this nation Bakanized if we let you. Thank God for the Minutemen who brought this plight national two years ago in a manner the MSM could not ignore.

"I think Bush's speech is going to be an attempt to please everyone and will wind up pleasing no one."

And if Bush doesn't perform it will be the death of the republican party as we've known it.

Seal the border completely and stop the onslaught. Anything short of that is unacceptable

She said Fox "reached out" to Bush, but she did not know how long the call lasted or the time it occurred.

Por Dios, Jorge, no hagalo. Por Favor, Jorge, no hagalo. Por que lo haces a mi, Jorge? Pienso que somos amigos, Jorge. Por que?! Por Que?!

My poor attempt in Spanish at:

For the love of God, George, don't do it. Please, George, don't do it. Why are you doing this to me, George? I thought we were friends, George. Why? Why?

Bush made clear to Fox in the morning telephone conversation that "the United States considered Mexico a friend and that what is being considered is not militarization of the border, but support of border capabilities on a temporary basis by the National Guard."

Bush made clear to Fox in the morning telephone conversation that "the United States would be open again for illegal aleins after the Mexican amnesty bill was passed"
