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.

I send many of your posts to friends who wouldn't touch FR, since 2001 and the advent of bots, with a ten-foot pole. And you are successful. They no longer laugh at you. They weep for our country.

No way. So are you saying that all the illegals here now have to do is have sex and have babies and they're automatically all citizens.

Not exactly. The baby is born in the U.S. to illegals and is automatically a citizen by birth. The parents then get preferential treatment for visas to be here legally...the path to citizenship...but not instant citizenship. Siblings born in other countries can get visas too....then comes the extended family...grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. That is the purpose of an anchor baby.

Can see pregnant illegal women hanging around the parking lots of Texas hospitals just ready to deliver the anchor baby...and U.S. taxpayers pay for it because the mothers are uninsured.

I just finished watching LKL and the commercial between his yack show and Anderson Coopers' was about an extreme fighting match......the entire commercial was spoken in Spanish.

The only thing I understood was VISA, MASTERCARD, and BUDWEISER.

How many "MINE THE BORDER, YOU MORON!" posts can really be posted before the mob runs out of gas?

I've seen very, very few people seriously advocate mining the border - maybe 3 or 4 total and I'm follow a lot of these threads.

The overwhelming position on these threads has been to build a security fence and go after employers.

But wouldnt those "Guest workers" NOT BE AMERICAN?

Once they are legalized, wouldnt the employers still hire them as they will be under scrutiny not to hire illegals?

Seems like this isnt a situation that will be fixed overnight. It definetly wasnt brought about by this President though he has been lax on border security and will not be solved in his term.

When they replace all the walls and fences (and also all the guards, police and secret service) around the WH and Capital Hill with these "virtual" fences, and they prove how well they work...THEN I'll go for "virtual" border fences.

I like that idea! Good thinking.

"Did I miss the part about the fence? Did I miss the part where he praised the House for their good work?"

Apparently you did. Not exactly praise for the House but said they had passed a bill and now the Senate needed to do the same and work the two together.

From Bush's Speech:

We will construct high-tech fences in urban corridors,..............

The Guard will assist the Border Patrol by operating surveillance systems … analyzing intelligence … installing fences and vehicle barriers … building patrol roads … and providing training.....................................................

The House has passed an immigration bill. The Senate should act by the end of this month – so we can work out the differences between the two bills, and Congress can pass a comprehensive bill for me to sign into law.

Full Text, Bush Speech

I'm fully aware of the forces that would like to do bad things to our country. I discount the threat.

You can have all the bad motives you want, but it doesn't mean you'll even be slightly successful.

But if you truly want a Mexico that is our enemy, send 12 million people who currently work here and support families in Mexico BACK to Mexico, where they will be unemployed.

How about this?
Send 12 million people back that have some experience with democracy, and rule of law, to a nation full of corruption, chronyism, socialism and special favors, and let them change the government and political system for something better..

12 million ex-US residents can make a mighty big social change in Mexico..
And not just for the worst..
It might be the biggest favor we could do for Mexico and Mexicans in general..

Well that true and I don't want to downgrade his efforts on child abduction and child abuse. I guess I am just getting tired of hearing about it every night lol. He is a important voice. It just seems at times he could have a little bit more hard news on his show during part of the hour.
