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."

You're about as thick as a brick, aren't you?
You seriously think the United States of America is going to be dissolved?
You are in no position to question anyone's intelligence.
Do the research. You obviously know how to read, but do you have the ability to understand what you are reading?
Maybe in your state, but in Texas it is not easy. Even in North Texas, most of the fast food workers are Spanish and many do not speak any English at all. It's coming your way, be ready!
FYI: I posted that quote only because the guy with whom I'm writing had it on his home page...
"Jobs Americans won't do"
How long will that slur keep bouncing around?
yeah .. if I read that or hear that ONE MORE time, I'm gonna puke.
Like I said. No ideas, just fear.
The death of ALL political parties starts like that.
Start puking.
Add the words, "at the same price", and it's true.
Nicely done!
Los Estados Unidos del Norte estan aqui!!
Baloney.
Any society that relies on cheap slave labor collapses.
Using ignorant foreigners who can't even speak our own language in servile positions will have the same effect on the U.S. as did slaves in the Ancient World or the anti-bellum South. It will stifle technology.
Ever hear of an "Automat"?!
How about a mechanical harvester?
We can technologically improve society and should do so. We don't need a permanent underclass of exploited foreigners who don't want to be Americanized and resent being here except for the dollars they can mail back to their familes and Vicente Fox.
Let me make it more clear...since I'm encountering some density here. I don't have anything to offer you as I have no interest in you. You're not worth it. I didn't write to you...you wrote to me. You really want to continue this ad nauseum...go onto DU, they'll commiserate with you I'm sure.
Dissloved, perhaps not.
Metamorphosized into a Latin American clone prehaps.
A plutocratic society with a small economically enhanced ruling elite and a mass of mestizos and underpriviledged Caucasians and blacks kept quiet with bread and circuses while the Red Chinese produce consumer goods - a real reality.
Look at who runs for office today.
Thanks to McClown and others who believe in "campaign finance reform" only the very wealthy can afford to run for higher office.
Gone are the days of log cabin presidents.
I am not sure what to do to make Mexico grow faster, but I at least suggested the one true alternative that would stop them from coming to the United States. Afterall, there aren't a whole lot of Canadian illegals sneaking over the border despite the weather.

That does not mean they are displacing a teenager.The more logical conclusion is that the teenagers don't want the job.A Fast food operater has more incentive to hire a bright kid that speaks well than an illegal that can't speak to customers.
Oh, it's clear alright.
since I'm encountering EXHIBITING some density here.
I don't have anything to offer you as I have no interest in you.
Of course not, you have been exposed, that can't be too interesting, even to you.
I didn't write to you...you wrote to me.
I didn't "write to you", I posted to an Internet blog,,,ABOUT you, and your goofy attempt to prop up a dying party by selling fear to the feeble minded.
You really want to continue this ad nauseum...go onto DU, they'll commiserate with you I'm sure.
I was here before you, and I'll be here after you leave.
DU is the place where they use the same tactics you use, did you learn it there?
Maybe some North Texas kids would like to visit the East Coast for the summer. Every business that I have seen along the shore has Help Wanted ads in their windows for summer help. Lots of Europeans come to the US for the summer to do these jobs. I have to believe that there are a lot of college age born-in-the-USA kids nowadays who feel that making beds in a motel, or working in a restaurant is work they "dont want to do".
