Snow: Flow of illegals not an 'invasion'

Spokesman says Article 4 of Constitution doesn't apply to border issue

Saying Mexico is "not the enemy," presidential press secretary Tony Snow today rejected the characterization of the constant flow of illegal aliens over the U.S. border as an "invasion."

At today's White House press briefing, WND asked the spokesman: "Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution says, 'The United States shall guarantee to every state in the Union a republican form of government and shall protect each of them from foreign invasion.' My question is, does the president believe this foreign invasion means only armed invasion, or doesn't this also mean the invasion of millions of illegal immigrants?"

Responded Snow: "I think what you are doing is you're attaching a martial connotation to something that does not have martial consequences. …

"What the president has said – if you were talking about an invasion, he's made it clear that Mexico is not the enemy."

WND also asked Snow about a lawsuit by war veteran Sgt. Peter Damon, who lost both of his arms in Iraq. Damon has sued Michael Moore for using clips without his permission in "Fahrenheit 9/11" to give the false impression that he opposed the war.

"I didn't lose my arms over there to come back and be used as ammunition against my commander in chief," Damon was quoted as saying.

"If he is asked," queried WND, "will this commander in chief be willing to testify in court on behalf of this double amputee sergeant?"

Snow called it a "hypothetical question"

"Please don't put me in the position of trying to answer to a lawsuit between somebody who served his country and Michael Moore," Snow said. "We'll let them deal with it."

Senator Pansy Graham on Hannity:

"Oh....It will take two years to start enforcing the laws on employers...."

It amazes me when politicians wring their hands and complain that a problem is too big to solve.

How did it get that way and why?

If the pols can't do the job, they need to resign and let someone who can do the job.

Those who oppose amnesty for illegals are not "over-reactionary hysterics";

I said THEY ARE.

Don't contradict me.

They're not an "invasion" either. They've come here looking jobs and a better life.

Question: What is it called when someone illegally enters a person's occupied dwelling?

A home __________.

I imagine the ratings at FOX are going down significantly, too, as they shill for the admin on the subject -- I won't listen.

The last ratings I saw for the prime-time cable news shows, via Drudge, FoxNews' prime-time line up still led CNN and MSNBC/CNBC. I don't know if their numbers are down from the last ratings, but if they are schilling the Amnesty bill, then I imagine their ratings have dropped.

I watched FNC a little this morning (Dayside maybe) and since today I guess is National "Donut Day", I noticed that they were pushing Krispy Kreme instead of Duncan Donuts. I was hoping they would feature Duncan Donuts instead.

Oh Wow, that's a weighty and convincing response.

lol.

You diehards turn to politics of personal destruction and scorched earth character assassination when you don't have any substantive retorts for your position.

Snow hooked on to Bush's wagon may be making a huge mistake..
Bush is a RINO.. Balkanizing the United States..

[devolve]

There are some huge class action suits coming up for employers

The ACLU template will work just dandy

Snow hooked on to Bush's wagon may be making a huge mistake..

Time will tell. Financially, quite possibly. He may have a hard time getting conservatives to buy any future book he writes or drawing a big conservative following for any future resumption or attempted resumption of his talk radio show host career. He may get his old gig back at Fox News, but that would be about it. Maybe he can be the token "conservative" columnist at Newsweak or the NY Slimes.

Pathetic.

Jorge,
I wasn't contradicting you, I was merely correcting you!
