BUSH: WE CAN'T BOOT 11M ILLEGALS

May 15, 2006 -- WASHINGTON - In his live, nationally televised address tonight, President Bush will tell Americans that it's impossible to deport the estimated 11 million illegal aliens living here.

"We must reject amnesty, but recognize that it is not realistic to round up millions of people and send them home," said White House spokeswoman Maria Tamburri in a preview of Bush's speech.

She said Bush plans to spell out his vision for sealing the border, enforcing the law, and "creating a rational system for workers to come into our country and to do jobs Americans won't do." Bush plans to visit the U.S.-Mexican border this week, and will dispatch his Cabinet to help sell the immigration plan.

The Senate plans to return to the contentious issue this week now that Republicans and Democrats have a deal to plow through controversial amendments. But the House and Senate are far apart on whether to put illegals on a path to citizenship.

Tamburri said Bush would call for "better equipment, increased funding, and advanced technology" to secure the border.

She didn't confirm press reports that Bush wants to expand deployments of National Guard Troops to step up border enforcement. Some Guard troops are already deployed in Arizona and New Mexico, but Bush is considering a big increase.

White House National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley said that enforcement was the Border Patrol's job - but then asked whether they needed help from the Guard on an "interim basis."

"This is not about militarizing the border," he said. The president is looking to do everything he can to secure the border. It's what the American people want."

Since we can take it for granted that the MSM is NOT in favor of the Tancredo position on immigration, why make it an issue now? Simple -- the MSM and the Left in general are using this issue to split the Right and make it easier to get back in power

I'm not surprised .. and yes, it is an attempt to spilt the right

Which is why Hellary brought this up a couple years ago

The left has been watching us and know what buttons to push

"Sit back and watch your neighborhoods change, if they have not already."

I live a stone's throw from Nampa Idaho. The town is being riddled by bullets nightly. There was a hit (execution) on an anglo man from Boise in a Nampa hotel last Fri or Sat. night by drug dealing hispanics. You will note of course they don't tell you that these gangsters are illegal. Everywhere there is a large bloc of hispanics the bullets are flying. That is fact, not fiction. Sound racist? To damn bad.

[A message]

And you are going to take a job pciking vegetables or tarring a roof in 100 degree heat, when, Mr. uber American.

Strawman argument Dane, cut it out.

If I was unemployed and my options were to roof a house. ( which I can do) or pick vegetables ( which I can do) then I WOULD DO IT.

Are there not unemployed American citizens?

[Havoc]

It isn't votes, it's cheap illegal labor. They want the benefits of their crime at any cost and want to BS us to keep it. They don't give a hoot in hades about the votes or yours and mine would matter to them. It's the money, bud!

[Halls]

I agree, it is unrealistic to round up 11 million people and ship them back to their country, however I think it is realistic to start shipping illegals back and keep doing it over years and years till the numberof illegals in this country has gone down significantly.

[mdmathis6]

disruptive to whom most? Certainly not the American tax payers who shell out 65 billion dollars to these folks while the economy receives only about 20 billion dollars in direct return via legitimate taxes and other economic returns...As for diplomatic consequences...Central and South America hates us already!

[Spiff]

Dane's only argument is to infer anyone for a secure border is a communist.

Or a racist or someone displaying "ethnic animus". He's a broken record.

Let me paraphrase Bush’s message:

We have to give the illegals what they want because there are too many of them, we can’t get rid of them, and we can’t stop them from coming in as they please.

How do you think Al Kiada is processing that message?

[Rudder]

"...creating a rational system for workers to come into our country and to do jobs Americans won't do."

If this (and the resulting amnesty plan) rhetoric is the substance of Bush's solution, the only GOP candidate to get my vote will be Blackwell for Governor.

that it's impossible to deport the estimated 11 million illegal aliens living here.

Why is it impossible?

For the delusional amongst us, the SS Administration can in fact fine them all, they know when SSNs are forged and when they are legitimate. SSNs must match up to W-2 forms. All that has to be done is for the SSA to turn the bogus numbers over to the federal police agency of choice. Once the SS roles are clear of illegals --- If the employer doesn't have the ability to deduct wages paid to illegals, then the practice will stop. Small and large employers will be in a box, no way to deduct illegal wage expenses, and still have to pay taxes on the wages paid to illegals as if they were profits. A very bad squeeze on especially the bottom line of small businesses.

The only jobs not caught up in this trap is the cash economy jobs, a small portion of the jobs. I doubt they will last long.

The hold up is the SSA won't turn over the SSN information to the IRS and then to the police -- that can be fixed easily.

Build the wall, fix the SSA-IRS, and let the fines begin. No delusion required.

Laura Ingraham told a story of a company who had to let American workers (mostly African-Americans) go because they were told they had to employ the low-wage workers from Mexico. The lady who owned the agency was crying because she didn't want to lay them off.

Well your Laura Ingraham, for Brit Hume, who reported that jesses jackson went on a bus tour of cities of where Katrina evacuees went to get them to come back to New Orleans to take good paying jobs to rebuild.

In St. Louis he got three people, 2 of them spoke spanish.

It's clear to me that you understand what the President means. You must also understand that no matter what he says, no matter what policy he pursues, he will be roasted by the media and the Dems. Were he to make explicit that which you and Dane and I understand implicitly, it would certainly destroy Republican political hopes for the next two years.

So when he talks about jobs Americans won't do, there's no need for any employed or soon to be employed person to take offense. Those who do are simply grinding their Bush axe.

" And you are going to take a job pciking vegetables or tarring a roof in 100 degree heat"

Plenty of American felons make their living on roofing crews, that is until the Mexicans move in and undercut wages by 25-50%.

[CMAC51]

Easy. President declares Martial Order! Anyone without papers is bussed back to the border and threatened that if they are found here illegally again, they will be executed.

Typical mindless drivel. Not one element of your response is practical in the real world.

[Mayflower Sister]

I'm glad you agree....

Yes, right. It really did happen.

BUSH: WE CAN'T BOOT 11M ILLEGALS

Sure we can. They managed to come in, it's possible for them to go out.

[Dane]

Strawman. If you only had a brain

Why would anyone want your brain made of straw?

[avacado]

--- OK let's boot Bush!---

I was looking for your plan to "boot" the illegals and could not find it???
