NEW YORK (CNN) -- The Bush White House and its lackeys in the Senate have reached a new low in their quest to bestow amnesty on 11 million to 20 million illegal immigrants, while doing as little as possible to secure our nation's borders and ports.

What do you all think of this?

I think you could've excerpted more of it.

Sorry, I'm never sure how much to put in there.

Well first, welcome to FR. What do you think of this?

Second, I think those for whom the border is the only issue on the docket will lap it up heartily.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Boy Dobbs is really milking this issue to boost CNN's pathetic viewer numbers.

Apparently he haven't heard the newsflash that Bush is interested in the Pence plan and is leaning towards border-security first?

Inspite of GWB and the open borders/free trade/amnesty Leadership attempting to trade our sovereignty for cheap labor and votes.....

"There's hope yet for the nation." Lou Dobbs

Let's hope he's right.

You didn't do anything wrong, I'm just needling.

Twenty-seven state governments have passed some sort of legislation cracking down on illegal immigration. Many of these efforts are focused on employers and landlords who are hiring and housing illegal aliens and demanding proof of citizenship before granting unfettered access to social and health services.

Once I got passed the Bush bashing garbage which is SOP for these folk, I discovered this little tidbit...which to me sounds a lot like progress. So I LIKE it. Since state governments are the ones who PAY for these services, they are the ones that need to be passing these types of laws. Good for them.

I think the House will have the final word.

"Apparently he haven't heard the newsflash that Bush is interested in the Pence plan and is leaning towards border-security first?"

How does that make a difference? Pence's plan is amnesty and Bush has no intentions of securing the border.

Our country was attacked on 9/11. 5 years later, Bush is 'leaning towards border-security first'. Insane.

Dobbs is such a disingenuous ass. Bitching and complaining about Senate hearings when the House is holding the same type of hearings.

Pace's story was poignant. His father came to the US when anybody who got here, except the Chinese, was welcome here. There was no such thing as an "illegal."

Dobbs is afraid Pace's story will resonate when, in fact, only immigration junkies know these hearings are even being held.

300 word max, if you use the auto excerpt you get about 40.

"Dobbs is such a disingenuous ass."

Yep, took you only 12 posts to show up with your typical
ad hominem personal attack. Your calling Dobbs a "disingenuous ass" proves that liberal projection is, indeed, a fact. Your stating "There was no such thing as an 'illegal'." demonstrates an incredible lack of historical knowledge and a tenuous grip on reality.
Pace's story was obviously meant to blur the real distinction between Illegal aliens and legal immigrants. And they were not too ashamed to use the typical liberal appeal that it's all about feeeeelings.

The open border Republicans have not only joined in an unholy alliance with the Kennedy Democrats, they have adopted there pathetic, emotional, alternate reality tactics.

Conservatives have already lost the Senate, I hope they can hang onto the House.

Except for Chinese, lunatics, prostitutes and criminals, and those with infectious diseases, nobody was kept out of the United States in 1914.

Conservatives have already lost the Senate, I hope they can hang onto the House.

Talk about a tenuous grip on reality!

[seasoned traditionalist]

What do I think of that?

"The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 called for at least 2,000 more Border Patrol agents per year along our border with Mexico to stop the unrelenting flow of people and illegal drugs into this country. But the Bush administration provided funding for only around 200 additional agents.

PRESIDENT BUSH then promised to deploy by August 6,000 National Guard troops to support the U.S. Border Patrol on the border with Mexico. Now, in mid-July, having already missed a June deadline, fewer than 900 have moved into place along the border.

WHO DO I BLAME? THAT'S EASY:

[seasoned traditionalist]

"Apparently he haven't heard the newsflash that Bush is interested in the Pence plan and is leaning towards border-security first?

And I assume you also believe in the tooth ferry?

[mhx]

I have this feeling that Dobbs either wants to run for President or wants to be a kingmaker in 2008.

"Pace's story was poignant. His father came to the US when anybody who got here, except the Chinese, was welcome here. There was no such thing as an "illegal."

REALLY?

Well, maybe if you became a convert and an immigration "junkie," you might at the same time, take the time to learn about of what you speak before opening mouth.

Remember the old addage: "It is better to let people think you are ignorant, then to open your mouth and prove it."

IMMIGRATION REFORM:

http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/aboutus/history/teacher/immref.htm

United States immigration history includes attempts to control legal immigration and deal with illegal migration

Beginning already in 1790, legislation passed by the new American Republic started regulating both. The first three immigration laws in the 1790s dealt with increasingly strict requirements for naturalization [Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution gave Congress the power "To establish a uniform rule of naturalization "], while the first law to regulate aliens in the United States was the Aliens Act, passed in 1798.

OF course, being nothing more than a single issue oriented, Bush-Bashing, xenophobic, illegal alien, border enforcement, junkie, what do I know. Hey, maybe his father came here on the Mayflower?
