President Bush's Misstatements on Amnesty
Congressional Website ^ | Oct. '06 | Tom Tancredo

Posted on 10/17/2006 12:48:28 AM PDT by T.L.Sink

Like a breath of fresh air Tom brushes away all the double-talk of the amnesty spin-doctors. It's refreshing to hear someone who understands what plain English means! But maybe bilingualism has confused them!

Broken-glass time, Republicans! Save the Congress!

Stop the Democrats from making Pelosi Speaker! ...

* On July 31, 1996, Pelosi voted against the historic Welfare Reform Bill and later voted against its reauthorization;

* On July 19, 2006, Pelosi voted against protecting the right to say "one nation under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance;

* On Sept. 20, 2006, Pelosi voted against requiring that voters be identified so we could ensure only legal citizens are voting;

* On July 13, 2006, Pelosi voted against requiring English on ballots;

* On June 30, 2005, Pelosi refused to side with homeowners against the Kelo decision that allows cities to seize private property for profitable ventures, even though 365 members voted to stop cities from taking private property.

* Pelosi has voted at least 12 times against the death penalty;

* Pelosi was one of only 67 House members to vote against the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA);

* Pelosi has voted at least eight times against banning partial-birth abortion, at least three times against the Unborn Victims of Violence Act (Laci's law), and scored a perfect 100 percent rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America;

* Pelosi voted against a bill that would "[b]ar the transportation of a minor girl across state lines to obtain an abortion without the consent of a parent, guardian or judge;"

* Pelosi voted at least 31 times for using local or federal taxpayer dollars to fund abortions; and

I found this interesting.

FACT: Under the Clinton Administration, Border Patrol manpower increased by more agents before 9-ll than Bush has added since 9-11.

Yes, Pelosi isn't your garden variety liberal -- she's the sort of Leftist extremist whose positions are destroying America. And I question both her patriotism AND her judgment.

Pelosi is a Socialist, to the bone.

The question, I suppose, is "what does it take to get Americans to wake up to their responsibilities in self government". Personally, I've become quite the pessimist. I see little in the Republican party that is actually helping this nation remain a nation. They talk a good line come election time, but the rest of the time they pretty much do the same thing Democrats do, albeit less precipitously. Bush and his ilk will destroy us with his illegal immigration insanity. Republicans can't even pass real tax reform, which was once one of their main rallying causes. Every day I see more spanish and less English, and at every construction site the workers are sun blackened little people who don't speak English. I stop at a gas station in the morning and have to wait behind lines of them getting their quick burrito breakfasts before hopping in the back of a pickup truck and being ferried off to the day's job, and Walmart's video adverts blare at me in spanish. Our current crop of Republicans suck. Having held both houses and the Executive for so long, now, their pitiful performance indicates that their one and only concern is for a long, cushy, corrupt career with great health insurance and retirement bennies at yours and mine expense, not the general welfare of citizens they represent. Tancredo is one of the very few who still stands for an honest to gosh sovereign America and how much influence does he have? Are there any real leaders left in this nation? Are Americans capable of finding them?

"We've got to secure our borders." Jorge Bush"

A few more 'mis' statements.....


"To secure our border we MUST create a temporary worker program that provides foreign workers a legal and orderly way to enter our country for a limited period of time," Bush said.

"But people in this debate MUST recognize that we will NOT be able to effectively enforce our immigration laws until we create a temporary-worker program." GWB

“This creates enormous pressure on our border that walls and patrols alone will NOT stop. To secure the border effectively we MUST reduce the numbers of people trying to sneak across," the president said.

"An immigration reform bill needs to be comprehensive," the president advised Congress in his speech, "because all elements of this problem MUST be addressed together, or NONE of them will be solved at all."

Until voters realize that the 'letter' after the name doesn't necessarily give them the desired result, We will continue to get cloned politicians who are absorbed into the Beltway monotony. Our *Representative Republic* is no more.

You certainly raise some profound and disturbing questions and I don't presume to have the answer(s). My hope is that when this crisis becomes so devastating Americans will be forced out of denial and assume control because they'll realize that the very survival of the nation is at stake.

We're already becoming balkanized by special interest lobbies, not least of which is the illegal "no borders" lobby.

Can I refer you to my reply (#3) to Joe Boucher under "U.S. Population to Hit 300 Million" - in today's News/Act. ?

I'd be curious to hear your views on that. Regards,

I agree and I think we need to have a revival of TRUE conservatism - as in the Reagan legacy. We've had more than enough of choosing between "tweedle-dum" and "tweedle-dee", both of which are pawns of too many special-interest groups.

"We've got to secure our borders." Jorge Bush"

As I sit here this morning listening to him speak while preparing to sign this bill, I wonder how many other Americans are absolutely astonished to what lengths he will go to defend this country from terrorism, all the while leaving our borders wide open to the terrorists.

The insanity of it boggles the mind. But what's worse is that there are those who refuse to question anything he does, even though the security of our country is at stake. Instead they are angry with those of us that do.

Has he even signed that 2nd bill for the fence yet?

"If there was hope, it must lie in the proles, because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, eighty-five percent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated."

...but:

"Until the become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they they have rebelled they cannot become conscious."

Glad to see you doing your part to keep the proles in line.

I agree totally. It's confusing...this Republican Administration/Congress has done nothing to prevent/deport these criminals, but passes laws almost on a monthly basis designed to inhibit the American citizen.

Ha! It'll never happen, Jorge is in the corporations that support these criminals pocket's so deep, I'll be suprised if he ever sees the light of day again!

Bush has done more for the illegals by his inaction than a Democrat controlled Congress could ever hope for.

Well, regarding your post #3, let me put it this way. I spent the better part of my life abroad, often in some pretty raunchy third world areas. I always held in the back of my mind a bright and shining remembrance of sparkling America. But each time I returned I found that America resembled the same seedy places I had reluctantly visited. Trash and litter abound. Our city parks would look no different if they were in Panama City, Panama. The symptoms of decay are endless. One notes that each time I returned there were more sections of town with bars or roll-up doors on shop windows and entrances, bars on residential windows, and more gated communities patrolled by dial-a-cops, more homeowners assns, and much more trash on our streets. I returned from the third world to...the third world!

What's left of America cowers deeper and deeper into denial and self built prisons, all the while electing liberals. In most depressed regions of the world that I have seen those few who are able to make a decent living isolate themselves from their "lessers". In America they once lived side by side. Now the middle class is raped to subsidized a new mass of foreign born poor who come to plunder with no goal other than plunder...and they are welcomed by the likes of Bush. This is not the nation into which I was born.

I put the info on Pelosi the extremist leftist because polls say she is destined to become speaker. Complaining about some Bush statement is like complaining of the wine selection on the titanic after it hit an iceberg. Actually its worse - nothing can sink this nation than the toxic waste of the Democrat policy prescriptions. They are not just wrong on immigration, they are wrong on taxes, on terrorism, on 'Kelo', wrong on oil drilling, wrong on UN, wrong, wrong, wrong!

"Bush has done more for the illegals by his inaction than a Democrat controlled Congress could ever hope for. "


The ignorance of this statement will become manifest once the Democrats run the House.

Bush wouldnt *need* to take action if the problem wasnt there already; it has been festering for 20 years, already made worse by actions by Clinton administration (multiple amnesties and the gutting of BIA enforcement, Kennedy provisions in '86 bill).

Democrats in last 6 months voted *FOR AMNESTY FOR 12 MILLION ILLEGALS*, and voted for bills that would allow 65 million immigrants in 20 years. These bills *WILL PASS* a Democrat Congress!!!
Er, yes, that is a darned sight worse than 'inaction'.

This is planned for next week.

"Ha! It'll never happen,"

You are lying. That is scheduled and promised, and everyone knows it.
