Bush Speech Ignores Criminal Aliens

You have to have some compassion for these criminals. They are not allowed to vote in their own country and they only come here to take part in our guest voter program.

[in hoc signo vinces]

I hear ya...yesterday a couple of press releases from FAIR were posted as threads. Essentially, they were ripping up the President's speech before he even gave it. A typical dimmocrat, liberal, ploy...

[reagandemo]

But what was missed by all of this is the fact that all of these "guest workers" as Bush calls them probably have never been vaccinated for anything like our kids are required to have. As reports appear about outbreaks of TB and other diseases in border territories we wonder. How safe are you and your families when we do not protect our borders? Just a thought.

[Pessimist]

"The percentage of all federal prisoners who are criminal aliens has remained the same over the last 3 years--about 27 percent."

If this is indeed accurate, its absolutely astounding.

No wonder you won't hear this figure in "polite company"...

In CA in the late 90s, it was passed by the Dems and the Mexico Bureacrats that Mexicans, illegal or legal, could vote in the elections of BOTH Mexico and America. Next thing I knew, free PC's were being installed (gift of California Taxpayers) of all "low-income" subsidized housing properties.

And then came the next bulleted point to hit the headlines: A move to make VOTING BY INTERNET valid and approved.

This story is not exactly true, Bush did mention increased crime as one of the impacts of illegal aliens, but he could of emphasized it much more. Case being:

On the Washington State Patrol 21 Most Wanted List list 17 of them are Hispanics not born in America and most likely illegal. And if you look at their photos on the WSP web site you can see they are a pretty gruesome bunch.

Hardly surprising, eh? Ick.

Part the red sea...turn lead into gold...cure a ham, walk under water...etc..etc.

Bush should have done nothing on the economy (no tax cuts), nothing against jihadis, and should have just built a border wall...and borked an intern.

Bush Speech Ignores Criminal Aliens

Well, it was a nice 17 minutes reviewing the virtues, values and contributions of legal immigrants...
It was heartwarming.

Looking at the bright side, he did not refer to the undocumented immigration officers as "vigilantes" once...

..and borked an intern.

Is that what the term "borked" means these days. I thought it had something to do with the Supreme Court. Geez, I'm getting old.

Now there are several cases of mumps being reported in the U. S. along with other small outbreaks of measles and chicken-pox.

The only way to deal effectively (no politician is willing to buy into that) with the important issue of illegal immigration is to close the borders and suspend immigration for at least a year. The illegals lurking throughout the country could be rounded up like we hunt other criminals even if it's one at a time.

As far as relations with Mexico and the other socialist/communist nations of South America are concerned, our ambassadors should be recalled for a period of time to show these Castroites that we mean business.

There's too much on our plate right now with the islamists, etc. without turning our back on our own border security.

How many of that 14 million or so includes terrorists? How many have contributed to sex crimes, murders, robberies?

[Democrap]

Now that I never heard of but I am not surprised at all. They run across the border and have their (anchor) babies so they can get on aid to rise their American citizen.

No borders no country.

"Bush doubles the guards at the border and yet some cynics say he's "doing nothing".

Senator Durban, is that you?

[jneesy]

"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"


make it a double

[George W. Bush]

And cut the budget too.

But I did cut the budget in 2006. Well, only the part that included the authorized hiring of 10,000 new border agents.

Washington -- The law signed by President Bush less than two months ago to add thousands of border patrol agents along the U.S.-Mexico border has crashed into the reality of Bush's austere federal budget proposal, officials said Tuesday. Officially approved by Bush on Dec. 17 after extensive bickering in Congress, the National Intelligence Reform Act included the requirement to add 10,000 border patrol agents in the five years beginning with 2006. Roughly 80 percent of the agents were to patrol the southern U.S. border from Texas to California, along which thousands of people cross into the United States illegally every year.

But Bush's proposed 2006 budget, revealed Monday, funds only 210 new border agents. The shrunken increase reflects the lack of money for an army of border guards and the capacity to train them, officials said. Retired Adm. James Loy, acting head of the Department of Homeland Security until nominee Michael Chertoff takes over, said funding only 210 new agents was a "recognition that we need to balance those things as we go on down the road with other priorities."

The White House referred questions about the border agents to the Homeland Security Department.

The law signed by Bush had a caveat that went virtually unreported at the time. A summary, published by the Senate Government Affairs Committee, required the government to increase the number of border patrol agents by at least 2,000 per year, "subject to available appropriations."

I think the real priorities are evident.

Aha. But please to understand.. The Democrats in CA made it welcoming and easy for the illegals to come here. They proferred free housing, free education, free medical.

Who could blame Mexicans for wanting such goods, that they wouldn't have gotten in Mexico, to come here.

Former CA R-Governor Wilson was as strong as one could get on halting the Democrat Usurpation of LAW. He stood his ground. Firmly, and against this crap. And when term-limited, D-Gray Davis became the next GOVERNOR of California.

Gray Davis and his very good buddies next attempted to have UN LAW written into CA-Constitutional Amendments which had been enacted during Wilson's term, in order to abrogate what the people of CA had voted FOR.

Let's stop pussyfooting around the point!

CA AND DEMOCRATS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MESS

And will we, here in FR, ever hear a ********* word from the SO-CALLED "IMMIGRATION REFORMISTS" HERE IN FR SAY THIS???

No. They won't and they don't.

There's CLUE NUMBER 1.

[SUSSA]

"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."

Flash back:

"I did not have sex with that woman."

[NavyCanDo]

Here is the line from the speech where Bush mentions the increased crimes. He did not "ignore criminal aliens" in the speech, though I wish he emphasized more on how many of the most wanted criminals are illegal aliens, See my Washington State Patrol MOST WANTED list post.

Once here, illegal immigrants live in the shadows of our society. Many use forged documents to get jobs, and that makes it difficult for employers to verify that the workers they hire are legal. Illegal immigration puts pressure on public schools and hospitals, strains state and local budgets, and brings crime to our communities.
