Every day, every time he opens his mouth, Frist make it more and more laughable that he thinks he's a viable Presidential candidate.
Well, if George W Bush, Vincente Fox, and Jimmy Carter support it, it can't be all bad.

WHY is citizenship being offered to those who are in this country with either doubtful or non-existent documentation?
A vast number of them don't even want to become citizens - they are just here for the relatively high wages and favorable work conditions. Sure, they do dirty jobs, and for pay that are considered poverty level or less in this country. But it is so much better than what they left behind in Mexico, it is like they died and went to Heaven.
The Mexican authorities may not realize it, but their shortsighted policy of not encouraging their best workers to stay in Mexico and build their own country up is slowly but surely eroding their own economic base, reducing what is already a Third World country to even more grinding poverty.
Plan B. Annex Mexico. Maybe that threat will scare the Mexican authorities straight. If not, the US stands to gain a valuable piece of real estate.
"Disregard for the law by those charged with creation and enforcement of the law engenders contempt for the law among the population at large and serves to undermine the rule of law in a society."
And a TOTAL LOSS FOR AMERICA. THANKS BUSH. You just solidified me not voting for your party in the next election. Third party or stay home. I am not voting for a socialist democrat or a RINOcrat. They are one and the same. This proves Bush is a RINOcrat in my belief.
Thank God the HOUSE isn't run by liberals.
I will not support any candidate in any primary election who does not first sign onto a plan that totally seals the border.
Per Lou Dobbs tonight on CNN, there was a last minute amendment approved that requires that the US consult with Mexico before we build a security fence. Anyone have specific language
Rush says the Mexicans will be required to pay taxes for three of the past five years.
So look on the bright side - We can all argue that the government allow it's home-grown citizens that same benefit!
Pick your worst 3 out of 5 years' income, and file for those years only!
We Have Been Sold Out
I did not vote to Republican to have Vincente Fox consulted on whether we can build a fence. A sad day for Bush and other so called leaders of the Republican Party.
This is a very very very sad day for America, our security, our Sovereignty and the Republican party. To allow a foreign nation leader to DICTATE if and when we can PROTECT OUR BORDER.........is.....I am speechless.
Six months ago, I caught a lot of razzing when I said that Hilary has better than a 50% chance of being POTUS.

S.2611 sacrifices America's future for politics and expediency.
The Sinning Senators ride again...
So in other words, a Bush veto threat would have signficantly altered this bill.
