Bush Speech Ignores Criminal Aliens

...reduce criminals to enter the country illegally or enter legally but remain here illegally.

Makes sense to most of us.

...the government of Mexico uses the US as their penal system...

Fox learned well from Castro's example.

Oh fer cryin out loud... he also didn't praise the "worshipped" (in FR) Border Minutemen. Why not pick that point apart?

[FerdieMurphy]

Why not pick that point apart?

Thanks for the heads up!

[in hoc signo vinces]

Excatly. The cynicism and criticism is getting a "lot" over the top...and every God forsaken thread is becoming one on immigration.

[DoctorMichael]

A 'Wall' ASAP.

[Shimmer128]

and yet you are here.....

[Shimmer128]

Wow, not everyone has their own pet trolls!

:D

...every God forsaken thread is becoming one on immigration.

Yup. As we have seen over and over with liberals...some people ALWAYS overplay their hand. In fact, it's become a distinguishing characteristic of advanced Moonbatism and Bush Derangement Syndrome.

[in hoc signo vinces]

like a train wreck, shimmer...like a train wreck.

[FerdieMurphy]

Looks more like a Shimmer.

Right. Apparently there is only one issue any more - illegal immigration. It was not the most important issue in 1978, 1985, 1994, 1997 or 2003 but it's suddenly the only thing we should focus on. Bush doubles the guards at the border and yet some cynics say he's "doing nothing".

[Alia]

It's been that way for a long time.

During CA's Prop 187, and after the Democrat Judge overturned the will of California voters..

There was a curious rift in the Prop 187 (pro) movement. Some were for a comprehensive approach, and another, wanted to see all Mexicans deported. Now hold on. They said they wished to see all "illegal" Mexicans deported.

That's not true. That's not what they were really "for".

And since those days, the latter group has increased in volume. The adherents to this strident philosophy can rationalize all they want (and they do) about what they think they are doing.

But the latter group has been taken over by those with an agenda which some would find quite shocking, IMHO.

Such stridency does not resonate well with the American Population. And this latter group has been sounding more like the feminists, homosexualists, and racists -- same one-note charlies.

So, I would hazard to suggest here, that what these so-called immigration reformists are actually supporting is a backlash. In that Americans will decide FOR something like President Bush's proposal. They will not decide FOR the strident one-note charlies.

I've often asked myself if the "leaders" of the one-note Charlies aren't instead actually FOR open borders.

During Prop 187, there was a curious group (FAIR) who were angling for exactly this position. It seems some who came out of the 187 core, have cottoned to FAIR.

I still have a PRESS RELEASE. CA Republicans made moves to address the MOTOR VOTER fraud. CA Democrats slapped it down handily. Where was this "group" then? Very, very silent. And calling Republicans "spineless". Ad nauseum blather.

I think there are some very fine and decent people caught up in the "strident, one-note Charlie" movement, and haven't a clue as to how it will all assuredly play out. I think these people realize how bad the illegal situation is on so many levels. But I do not think they comprehend a whole lot beyond that.

Illegals are far more likely to be the dregs of society than those who earn their way honorably and play by the rules.

[Alia]

lol! I have faith in your abilities to find an article and post in FR on exactly that point.

[LibWhacker]

During President George W. Bush's televised speech on the issue of illegal immigration, not once did he mention the hordes of criminals entering the United States and preying upon American citizens.

He mentioned crime and criminals four times.

[in hoc signo vinces]

Unfortunately for some "conservatives" rational thought on this issue has eluded them...and now some have a nagging form of turetz syndrome. "Border Wall...ackkkk Border Wall...ackkkk Border Wall..."

Nothing short of Bush building a 5000 mile, 1000 foot high, gun turreted, mined perimeter, electrified razor wire, rabid nutra rat protected, wall will do for some...perhaps, instead of Tehran...we should just nuke Mexico City, since, hey, we've got a "hostile" invasion from South of the Border anyway.../sarcasm

[mtntop3]

The Sierra Times hears what it wants to hear...and then issues forth with its usual moaning and weeping and hand-wringing...

From the President's last night address - Paragraph #6:

"Our objective is straightforward: The border should be open to trade and lawful immigration - and shut to illegal immigrants, as well as criminals, drug dealers, and terrorists."

[rhombus]

Nothing short of Bush building a 5000 mile, 1000 foot high, gun turreted, mined perimeter, electrified razor wire, rabid nutra rat protected, wall will do for some...

And cut the budget too.

[Dilbert56]

He did say anyone trying to remain here would have a background check for criminal activity. This article is like Durbin's pile of crap - Ready, fire, aim.

Next time, listen to the speech first. Otherwise you'll be the Bravo Sierra Times.

[goldstategop]

And the President had the chutzpah to inform us Mexico is a friend last night! What friend makes us pay the full costs of imprisoning THEIR criminals who commit crimes upon our citizens and their property? I didn't hear a word from Bush about sending Mexico the bill for the damage. Just think about what better purposes that money could have gone to had the President really been serious about securing our borders for good.
