I searched but did not see a thread already open for tonights speech. I think this is the most important speech the President will probably make for the remainder of his term.


Mod Note:
This could turn into a whack-a-troll thread. All immigration trolls that would like to participate should post here. It'll be interesting to see if we mods can whack the trolls faster than they can sign up new accounts.

The governors of the respective States are the Cincs of their respective National Guard units not on active duty in the US military and can order them to the border at any time. However, they would not have the power to arrest and detain any illegal alien within State boundaries. That is the responsibility of the Border Patrol and other federal agencies responsible for border control, such as the Coast Guard. I do not believe the President has any intent to militarize the border.

Same plan as 20 years ago, we were promised no more amnesty. These illegals have no business being given citizenship period.

I wonder what the polls will say in the next few days... I don't think the President has bottomed out yet. I think he's lost a lot of support from the base yet again. He should have stopped his speech after Point #2.

"Lou Dobbs is so upset he is shaking..."

Oh, well, if Chubbs is "shaking," all us Bush supporters will have to reconsider! Seriously, when I want Chubbs' opinion, I'll give it to him.

The onus is on the House and Senate.
It appears as though he'll sign whatever legislation reaches his desk....

King and Tancredo:

"no bill is better then a bad bill"

its open political warfare now within the party - the President is pushing his own party to the brink on this.

Well first turn off the bait. NO MORE free lunch. Being born here is NOT automatically grant you citizenship

And how did you become a citizen?


Like most of us, our parents were citizens. Being born in the US does not make you a citizen unless your parents are.
