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."

Tony, I know you're concerned about your health, but that's no reason to perform a do-it-yourself direct observation colon exam on national TV. Now pull your head back out and start talking straight.

I agree, it's disappointing to see our buddy not outwardly examining the situation like he used to.

For all their talk about Independence from the white man they seem quite taken with the idea of living in a country that has a white majority.

To Bush, like to Clinton, verb: it all depends on the meaning of the word "invasion." I hate these word games with the English language. Its was bad enough to see these evasions from Bubba but its lowered my respect for this Administration to see them resort to such phony readings of reality!

it's disappointing to see our buddy not outwardly examining the situation like he used to. He's not our buddy anymore. He's the willing mouthpiece of George Bush, selected to help co-opt the flak from the Right. The better he does his job the more invisible his own opinions are.

Arafat with Founders of MECHa in 1980. The only difference is that, instead of towels--- they now wear sombreros.

Sorry to say this but Tony Snow has become a puppet and is fast losing his conservative credentials.
Press spokesman means mouthpiece. When Bush talks, Tony's lips move. That's the nature of the job. It's what Tony gets paid to do. The policy you hate is coming from Bush, whose conservative credentials are nonexistent. What did you expect, Tony would bash his boss to the press? Yeah, right.

After that, it's a felony to be in the country illegally. Actually, I believe it is already a felony to use forged documents or to use someone else's SS number. If you're an American, that is.

It's what Tony gets paid to do.
I wish he hadn't taken the job.
