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 saw the Sheriff on Fox today.
He said that it costs him 15 cents a meal to feed the incarcerated. ROFLMAO
He's "housing" them in tents!

It would be nice if he would tackle the 14th Amendment issue. The anchor baby thing really is a big issue.Good point. I would've liked to have heard more about that...

Why do the commentators continually refer to the conservative base who want the borders secure?
Shouldn't everyone?

You forgot to mention how many brutal rape-murders have been committed by illegal aliens in the past five years. It is truly disgusting. Absolutely. The Mexicans are all over the meth trade. Evidently, easier to get the raw materials over there and such. That is a horrible drug and how many lives ruined as a result?
Ah, I'm so sick of this insanity.

I agree with you, but half the posts on this thread are by a bunch of racist jerks. Name one. Which post?

President Bush is outstanding tonight.Say it enough times and the rest of us will be persuaded. Or not.

Fred stating the President couldn't support enforcement only because the Senate (Ted kennedy) wouldn't support. Well, how dare we support anything Teddy is in opposition to!
Og good grief....Bill O'Reilly is going to be the voice of reason. It's sad that he really is the voice of reason.

How does one get a security clearance as an illegal? It is one of the reasons this debate is complex.. technically, illegal immigration is only a misdemeanor, and thus, they are looked at as the 'foreign national'. The law for this started right after Pearl Harbor when tens of thousands of illegal immigrants came from Mexico to join us fighting Japan. Because of the influx of 'illegal' immigrants moved to fight with us by Pearl Harbor, the Senate passed an emergency bill regarding military qualifications in regard to illegal immigration.
I'll look up the detail if needed.. this was all from memory..

I just finished watching this speech. This is an amnesty. Pure and simple. And a lot of meaningless platitudes. In short, I heard nothing that alters my point of view. I will not support any politician who votes in favor of this proposal.Surely, you jest. LOL

"Did he say anything about clamping down on people who employ illegals?" NO!!! Hmmm... Guess I'll have to watch it again later or read the transcript. Someone up the thread said he DID. I heard him say something about how hard it was for businesses to not hire them because of ID fraud, but that's all I heard. What else did he say about that? Anyone?
