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.

Good speech? A good job of putting lipstick on a pig- but it's still a pig!
It's not Bush's fault.
The Senate is the principal source of corruption and political weakness for America.
Conservatives need to work to change the senate which is much more difficult to change than the House.
They cost us more than they contribute to this country. They're a drain on us.
"Not for amnesty = no new taxes"
I believe he is his father's son. I have thought about that alot. My biggest problem with W was his naivete. He came to Washington foolishly thinking he could win over his enemies who hated him viciously and therefore we have the terrible Education Bill he passed with Teddy Kennedy. Now again to my embarrassment operatives like Charlie Black and Tori Clark are shamefully mentioning Teddy Kennedy's name in moving forward this amnesty. W's father foolishly thought that pleasing his Washington enemies by breaking his no new taxes pledges was somehow noble. And W now finds himself in a position which is opposed to very loyal Republicans in the House and aligned with bunch electorally unaccountable egomaniacs Senators who would ridicule W and knife him the back at the drop of a hat. Son like father finds himself aligned with those who wish him ill and like his father he seems to forget who elected him. To be on the side of Teddy Kennedy and Vincente Fox will always find you against the best interests of the American people.
DeeYoo hates him too.
They like Kerry, as well.
Be that the company you would keep?
It's an imperfect world.
Just what is it you think you will win?
Everyone in government leave that door open.
They even stopped arrests inland.
True, I mean I can understand people disagreeing with Bush but it boggles my mind that people can't see that these are heartfelt views of his.
That was another point the President made that was nothing but blowing smoke up our skirts. Something about the illegals being just as upstanding as anyone else.
If that is so why, out of 11 million illegals, are 30% of our prison population illegals? Compared to the other two thirds coming from the 295 million of us who are legal citizens or otherwise. Doesn't add up.
I believe he did address the role of employers. He mentioned that it is currently difficult for employers to verify because of fake i.d.s, etc.
That's when he proposed a more sophisticated form of ID card that can't be faked.

Happy Hunting Jim. Just be careful; the way things are heating up, you might end up whacking half of our membership.
Don't waste your time on the Braxero question cl3 doesn't know anything about it. He just keeps asking it. (see 1154 and 1434).
"You are a pompous ass, before you call me BOY, let me just say are a disgusting example of a member of FR and hopefully, your racist butt will be banned."
Now, you are calling me a racist. Where in God's name did you garner such an asinine statement and that?
Interestingly, Legal immigration turns temporary workers into permenant workers and permanant citizen taxpayers.
Hi Phsstpok! Hope you're doing well.
Listening to a local talk radio show and the host just mentioned that it's interesting that Vicente Fox is starting his visit to WA in Yakima (it's on the east side of the state - lots of farming communities over there). He said, hmm, he's not starting it in Seattle w a dinner at the Gates' house like the Chinese President recently had. He suspected that the only way Fox would get to see the Gates house is w a leaf blower.
Which is why we need to get as many as possible into the LGEAL immigration system. Then the Border Patrol will be able to focus on the terrorists and other criminals sneaking over.
A lot more than a virtual fence. LOL
