Phyllis Schlafly pretty much single-handedly defeated the ERA juggernaut. She is one of Ann Coulter's heroes and Ann has written about her with enormous respect. You can read her work at Schlafly on www.drudgereport.com or go to http://www.eagleforum.org/column/. Good and brilliant woman.

Bush wants to give U.S. jobs to foreigners so they can rise "from a life of
low-paying jobs to a diploma, a career, and a home of their own."


And when all those new citizens-via-amnesty get those careers...
who's gonna' do the jobs that they'll no longer do?

Then we'll start emptying out South America to keep the wages depressed?

Here we go again. Everyone bashes the Pence plan but said ZILCH when Tancredo himself came out with a plan that included guest-workers.

Looks like rampant illegal immigration will continue as conservatives eat their own because they'd rather go all out and try to get 100% against an administration and Senate that flat-out refuses to budge unless some type of guest-worker plan was included. Instead of conservatives rationally settling for 90% that includes immediate enforcement of the borders, they'd rather piss and moan and fight for border enforcement only that won't see the light of day and will never pass in the future.

Pence is a RINO all of a sudden for trying to do the rational thing & give everyone an out because the administration/Senate won't get off their asses and enforce the borders. Got news for you people - Washington is not the black-and-white, scorched-earth world of FR, where armchair conservatives think they can just post and all the problems disappear.

I'm opposed to the expanded guest worker program they are trying to sell. We need to discourage the notion of a two-tier labor pool, some who have rights and some who don't.

Of course, we already have that, with the widespread dependence on illegal labor, but the answer is to secure the border, not to enshrine our two-tier labor pool in law.

We actually do have a guest-worker program already in place, and have had for years. Sheepherders are typically brought in on three year contracts, they go home and come back on a new contract. I don't have an issue with that, but it should continue to be the exception rather than a massive new rule encompassing a significant percent of our labor force.

My position is that if you need someone's skills badly enough to bring him into the country, then you need him badly enough to grant him permanent residency. If you don't need him that bad, then you don't need him that bad.

We already bring in a million immigrants, legally, per year. No one has yet to make the case that a million isn't enough. There is an enormous backlog of applicants for residency, they could easily double or triple the number of resident visas just from the applicants already in the mill, there is no need for another kind of devalued second-class immigrant. If a million a year isn't enough, make the case. But don't create a new class of indentured laborers when it goes against everything this country stands for.

....she's hated him for years."

And, as usual, she's right! Point out the fallacies in her arguments. Bush is just plain incompetent. It's becoming clearer every day.

Phyllis Schlafly has always been a true conservative thinker. I'm surprised it took her this long to "break" with GWB.

He turned his back on America when he refused to enforce immigration laws and protect our borders after 9/11/01. Many of us saw him for what he was then, and it wasn't good. Our borders remain open to this day, even in the threat of terrorism, and now he wants to reward all the border hoppers, at our expense.

He lied to America when he claimed to be a conservative.

Did you know Reagan was also a bozo, chimp, knucklehead, (yada, yada...) ?

Excellent article by Phyllis Schlafly. She once again nails it!

The 66 million in 20 years is very conservative. The real number will probably be closer to 200 million, especially since there may be three times the offical estimate here allready.

If people don't see how this is going to destroy America, they have no business calling themselves conservatives.

"I wonder what Mary Kay Hutchinson's price was too...."


I wonder as well...see what her former colleague from Texas-Phil Gramm -is up to http://money.cnn.com/2002/10/07/news/companies/warburg/index.htm

Seems like these "opportunities" would be universal if the Senator chooses to play ball...

Pence accepted and deals were made to give him money for his presidential bid.

You don't have any evidence of this.

It's about as kooky as the NAU threads.
