This guy uses the term, "path to citizenship" eight different times. Talk about a mantra.

"Graham and others have suggested that Republicans will be judged harshly if they fail to deliver a sweeping immigration reform bill to Bush's desk."

Guess who is standing in the way of that and the will of American people, Lindsoid?

Hang in there, boys.

Of course, even if the illegals "only" get an amnesty to "temporary worker" status, that's still a big reward and incentive for future illegals to come here.

And there's nothing stopping a future Congress and President from passing a law allowing "temporary workers" to apply for naturalization.

Anything that legalizes illegals is amnesty.

Best result: both Senate and House bills die, and we somehow get an enforcement-minded President in 2009, who will use the adequate current laws to address the illegal invasion.

Follow the money. Unions, dems and big business all behind it. Loss of sovereignty, US safety, culture, laws, mores, language mean nothing compared to what they think they'll get. Although, when they're impacted by an illegal who drives the wrong way on the highway, killing their children...or they don't get a job because illegals are being paid coolie wages...or Mexican gangs run wild...drugs, murder, you name it, they might spare a passing thought for what they threw away.

The Senate has no clue as to how far out of touch they are with the people of this country. How could they have gotten so far out of the mainstream on immigration?

I hope the House will stick to its ideas and principles on this. They have a far better bill and can not, must not compromise on our national security.

Meanwhile, John McCain will NEVER be President over this and other actions. NEVER.

God bless these brave souls.

[House Republican leaders yesterday refused to yield on immigration, insisting that any bill to emerge from upcoming House-Senate negotiations will contain no provisions for undocumented immigrants to become citizens.]

I think we are witnessing the last stand of conservative republicans. Bravo for the far sighted House republicans who realize than changing the constitution to allow for illegal immigransts to become legal immigrants is a recipe for sovereign disaster in America. The President and the Senate rinos are destroying our country with the help of the atheist and immoral democrats.

It's mantra all right. It's just a new way of talking about the "new American".

THE "NEW AMERICAN"

We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.

Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico.

George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.

You can read the speech here.

Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:

In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on.
