If S 2611 would bring in 100 million over the next 20 years (and it would, and more), then what kind of bill could it be called?

RADICAL. A transformation of the United States unprecedented in all of their history.

So what's "conservative" about either the bill or the people who voted for it?

[sully777]

There could be another explanation...



Aliens tell Bush: "All your country are belong to us!"

[RegulatorCountry]

"So what's "conservative" about either the bill or the people who voted for it?"

Nothing. Nothing at all.

[Wallace T.]

My bet is many of the Bushbots are off for Memorial Day and will be back at the RNC computers tomorrow with their usual denunciations of real conservatives.

Top Ten Conspiracy Reasons Why Bush supports Amnesty:

1) He's was replaced with a stunt double by Vicente Fox two years ago.
2) He and Vicente Fox are in love.
3) He froze out Cheney from policy making 2 years ago.
4) The Bush family is planning to run Jeb on the Democrat ticket, and thus want the Republican party split.
5) He feels guilty over his illegal maid/nanny from long ago.
6) He is being blackmailed over photos taken by the drug cartel or Mexican college roommates.
7) His choice and pronunciation of words proves he is an illegal immigrant himself.
8) He's controlled by the Catholic church and the labor unions who want to increase their memberships.
9) He wants to make whites the new minority so they can claim federal benefits.
10) He's tired of the job and thus mad at the political base that elected him.

The above is all in jest, but perhaps the real reason is: he made promises to business lobbyists that funded his elections. These are made up of two groups: North America Free Trade types and We-Want-Low-Domestic-Wages-To-Compete businesses.

These Senators betrayed us on illegal immigration:Bennett (R-UT),Brownback (R-KS),Chafee (R-RI), Coleman (R-MN),Craig (R-ID), DeWine (R-OH),Domenici (R-NM),Frist (R-TN),Graham (R-SC),Gregg (R-NH),Hagel (R-NE), Lugar (R-IN), Martinez (R-FL), McCain (R-AZ),McConnell (R-KY), Murkowski (R-AK), Smith (R-OR),Snowe (R-ME), Specter (R-PA), Stevens (R-AK), Voinovich (R-OH), Specter (R-PA)
For all I care, they could/should be replaced in the primaries.

*Here's a few things you can do if you believe in rational immigration policy.

1) Sign this petition!
2) Stop supporting Rhinos in the primaries! We need real Conservative leaders to take back the party. Know who they are!
3) Do not patronize businesses that continuely hire illegal immigrants.
3) Send a brick to your legislator with a letter; showing your concern that this countries immigration policy is not being enforced and is not secure.
4)If your an American of Latin blood or your friends are, know we're all the same side.
5) Fax your Representive/Senator for free.

In my opinion, there are a number of reasons for George Bush's stand on immigration and border security:

1. His background is very different from ours. His parents had Mexican domestics, George and Laura have Mexican domestics and JEB is married to a Mexican. This is his frame of reference - not the millions that are taking advantage of public assistance or the 100,000+ illegals in prisons.

2. Many of his friends and financial supporters depend on immigrants for domestic labor (don't expect them to wash dishes or change diapers) and Businesspeople who want cheap labor

3. His relationship with Vincente Fox - he would rather lose the support of the American people than Fox

4. Like his father, George Bush has internationalist tendencies

Ms. Schafly is a Catholic. She should ask the hierarchy of her church why they are strenuously lobbying for this legislation, which - as she notes - would destroy America as we know it (and make it resemble one of the corrupt impoverished Catholic countries from which the new immigrants will be coming)

[upchuck]

Phyllis asks:

Why, oh why, is Bush so stubbornly rejecting the advice of his supporters even though that advice is consistent with the thunderous message from public opinion surveys?

Interesting, as Phyllis herself answered this question almost a year ago when she wrote this.

The "bottom line" to all of this is found right here.

Nasty, nasty stuff that will put an end to our country as we know and love it.

Bush's open-borders policy gives the lie to his phony "war on terror." If he were serious about protecting the US from terror, he wouldn't have the national guard halfway around the world, bogged down in a country that had no military power, no WMDs, and posed no threat to America; he would have them on the borders of the United States to keep terrorists out.

If Bill Clinton were president and pushing this transform-America, impoverish-America immigration bill, freepers by the hundreds would be on this thread, howling in protest. But because the bill is pushed by someone with an R after his name, many freepers want to ignore it. Never mind that Kennedy is the sponsor. The fact that Bush has signed on means it mustn't be criticized. This is the kind of slavish "followership" that is more reminiscent of people in tyrannical countries; it's not way for free men and women to act. I'm an independent conservative - so, unlike Bushbots, I won't call Bush a conservative when he behaves like a liberal.

[churchillbuff]

BUshbots want this thread to quietly die. That's why they're staying away in droves.

[Biblebelter]

c) Bush is a globalist at heart and wants to carry out his father's oft-repeated ambition of a "new world order";

Bingo

It is as good as an explanation as any why he now walks with Kennedy and McCain.

[RegulatorCountry]

"That's why they're staying away in droves."

Nah, they're on holiday at their weekend place in the Virginia horse country, or the Outer Banks of NC. They'll be back, manning their stations come tomorrow morning.

So well put. This Bush is NOT the man I voted for, he is a liberal wacko in disguise and I can't stand it, I will NOT stand/unite with him on the subject of ILLEGAL immigration, where is his head, oh I can just imagine some of the answers, !!!, one of which is politely "where the sun don't shine". You are correct in your observation, if this was slick this forum would be rockin' with FReepers condemning this, I am not a Bushbot and never will be, when he is right I will be the first to stick up for him, however, when he is wrong, I will be the first (or one of the first) to point it out. I hope Bush finally comes to his senses and realizes what he is proposing for this country, he seems to be so out of touch, it's scary.
