"There are plenty of laws on the books now you people need to enforce. Forget the bill, do your jobs."
We do, and they were purposely not enforced or underfunded so Bush could present himself as not the inflamer of the crisis but the solver of it. The House bill increases the penalties. The Senate bill is radical. An amnesty plus new wage depression programs would have little chance of passing unless coupled with provisions seemingly promising security.

There isn't going to be a bill next year either, except one for border enforcement ONLY. Don't need a border enforcement bill. Just do it.
To: Sub-Driver
I hope they continue to display sanity concerning this issue. It's about time some of our elected officials acted sane concerning illegal immigration. Seems to me that the bulk of our senators have lost their minds.

Right. Defend our borders ! This is no win for bush no matter what color glasses some may be wearing . No way can he hand off this stink bomb to the next group of Pres candidates.

Better this than new bad laws. I know it's a little extreme and just one of my wilder ideas, but why couldn't we start actually enforcing the laws we already have on the books?

He realizes he won't be able to get anything after this mid-term election, so he'll be content with the status-quo.
If he knows he can't get anything passed, watch for a massive increase in the numbers of green cards issued to illegals. He will get them in one way or another.

Guess you better brush up on your Civics. We are a Constitutional Republic, NOT the Presidential Dictatorship you seem to think we are.

In a defeat for President Bush More like the Republicans saved his @$$. If this abomination had passed, there would be a Democrat House, and the investigations and impeachment hearings would begin shortly after.
conservatives' implacable opposition to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants.
Yeah, we're such a bunch of heartless pr!cks. We just refuse to reward anyone for breaking the law.

The mindless hate for the President by some supposedly "Conservative" Freepers sounds exactly like the same ranting that comes out of Moveon.org stoodges. Why is it their posts ALWAYS sound just like a Democrat's Hate Bush Always rant?

Fred, as you remember was the last pundit proping up Harriet Miers folded under pressure. Fred is just an unpaid White House mouth piece. He does as he is told.
