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."

Vision, you are calling our President names instead of discussing his policies

I've done nothing of the sort.

You engage me in personal attacks instead of debating. End even post 271 where you do use some (sarcastic) facts you get some wrong.

Up to a third of the U.S. federal prison population is composed of non-citizens

But along with this we will need a massive increase in legal immigration and people who

Shut down all immigration for five years, we hostile aliens trying to "shut down" our economy.

if people object to new legal immigration then they were really weren't concerned about illegals they just don't like brown people

Please take your racist false argument somewhere else.

Also, those of you who want to blame every ill in society on illegals sound like you want a scape goat, not a solution

Can you stop whining? The only ills talked about here are from illegal aliens.

And you seem to have chosen our President as that scape goat. It hurts our country to scape goat the President instead of working on the issues.

Let me paint this more clearly than it has obviously been done for the last five years. The President, while a good man, considers illegals the "New Americans" and doesn't care what you or I think. Capiche?

If you would just stop supporting criminal behavior and get your friends to apply legally, everything would be fine.

You pathetic numb skull, I was posting to "Jorge" the pro illegal alien Freeper. Please stop wasting my time.

KRYTEN: Oh! Oh, that is just so superb, sir! How DO you do that?
Especially calling a banana an aardvark? An aardvark isn't even a fruit! It's total genius!

1. That has been my experience with people who object to large quantities of legal immigrants - it wasn't really the illegal aspect that was bothering them.

2. Hmmm over crowded hospitals, full prisons, wage issues - all the fault of illegals and nobody else bears any responsibility -that's seems a bit convenient since it allows everyone else to have no responsibility at all. I wonder if this fear of the outsider could be used to unify a country? I wonder if its been tried before?

Then it sounds like I made a mistake. I Apologize.

What good if we liberate Iraq but lose our own nation?

Every time I call a business and get the English/Spanish option for languages, I have to wonder the same thing.

Sometimes I leave the front door open for the breeze. Since the door is not locked does that mean you are free to enter at will?

good one, how about a tony snow/bagdad bob cut and paste.."this is no invasion!"

************

Soft Tony is an ASSH*LE on this subject.

Everyone is a lying b*stard in D.C............. after all, that's how they get their silly and destructive jobs.

*****

God Bless America ................ but it's gone ........ and such a young little country.

******

The Founding Fathers ARE DISGUSTED and DISRESPECTED!!!!

[beyond the sea]

By the way .... thanks for the ping.

This is just a 60 year old guy who is just sick of the lying b*stards... Tony Snow included!

[Poincare]

Is it an invasion if we invited them?

The problem is in the word "we." Certain business interests in the US have have subverted the enforcement of law by buying our politicians. In our CA Central Coast valley those business interests that use illegals for cheap labor are largely foreign owned--Japan, Holland, etc.

[beyond the sea]

Tony Snow ......... if he keeps talking like this ( flow of illegals not an 'invasion' )........... that causes cancer.

I swear that I'm not at all trying to be cold or ignorant toward Tony because of his recent past problems .............. but knowingly lying for your boss about this INVASION can cause worry, self-hatred, and then bad health.

STOP LYING TONY!

[beyond the sea]

"Snow is trying to cloak this mess in euphemistic bullsh!t-speak. It's disappointing to see people here supporting that." ---

Tony has always been a mealy mouthed intellectual with a soft tongue. He's so wrong on this and he KNOWS it!

He should be ashamed of himself!

Dubya didn't do Tony any favors by hiring him. He is required to carry the Administrations water on the illegal immigration issue at the expense of his own credibility.

[johnny7]

Tony will call it a floor-cleaner or a whipped topping... before he calls it an invasion. Sad to see them keep throwing this pig skyward... hoping that it will sprout wings and fly.

[plain talk]

We are not experiencing an invasion by a foreign country which is what the founders meant. It doesn't mean I am for illegal immigration though. I am in favor of a sea-tosea wall, stiff penalties for employers and no amnesty. But I'm not willing to twist words to support an agenda. The truth is the truth. Snow is exactly right.
