Last month, President Bush signed off on a few dog-and-pony illegal immigrant employment raids. Whoop-de-doo. Politically expedient holiday gestures over, the White House is now back to work pushing its long-planned, massive alien amnesty. The state of the borders, green card process and entrance system for visitors and tourists? Porous. Chaotic. Understaffed. And overwhelmed.
But no matter. Mouthing his same old, bogus platitudes about the need to allow "undocumented workers" to do the job Americans won't do (never mind all those Americans who immediately lined up to apply for those meatpacking jobs after the December raids), Bush wants to pile millions of new "guest worker" illegal alien applicants onto the teetering homeland security bureaucracy.
The results will be disastrous. What President Bush didn't mention in the State of the Union address is that every part of the current legal immigrant applicant machinery that would be tasked with implementing the "guest worker" illegal alien amnesty is backlogged and broken.
Last November, congressional investigators reported that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) had lost track of 111,000 files in 14 of the agency's busiest district offices and processed as many as 30,000 citizenship applications last year without the required files.

"It only takes one missing file of somebody with links to a terrorist organization to become an American citizen," Grassley, who is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, noted in The Washington Post. "We can't afford to be handing out citizenship with blinders on."
Or legal status. Multiply that by several million in the case of Bush's guest worker program. Can you spell d-i-s-a-s-t-e-r?

Perhaps it was poorly phrased. I mean that the politicos envision a 10-20 million (maybe more) ethnic minority that will become citizens via amnesty and grow in size as they have (many) children as ample research has demonstrated.
So, illegals may not be voting legally (although that may not stop some of them) but you can be the politicians will be pandering hard after amnesty has been rammed through, saying "I went to bat for your people."
I can't understand how this is happening.
The Dems will own America when they get the vote. Are Republicans THAT stupid?
Disagree. It is like Nixon going to China. It takes a Rep President to go along with this to make it happen. The Dems don't want to be stuck with the sole responsibility of such a policy. They know it flys in the face of public opinion, presuming the issue is properly presented.
The Senate Reps voted 32 to 23 AGAINST comprehensive immigration reform. The Rep House voted overwhelming in favor of an eforcement first approach. The WH is at odds with its own party.
Well, to me just look around at America. The giant engineering works, the massive defense infrastructure, the huge economic near-monopolies (true monopolies are unnecessarily difficult to maintain)...
...and the people in charge of those structures are going to leave the choice of their Chief Executive up to a gaggle of idiots with third grade reading levels? ;)
It's easy to reason that they would instead have worked out ways to ensure that their agenda gets met regardless of which puppet the American Idol voters put in the Oval Office.
Bush has no intention of protecting America from the current Invasion and the only reason for that is that the INVASION is serving his purposes.
For God's sake I have done more than he has done, to stop
Illegal immigration, at least I admit I would like to see it stopped and the people deported.
Bush is a One Worlder with no borders.
Very Sad.
But he spends Billions to protect the Border of Iraq.
Shame on him.
I have vehemetly supported his war on terror there pal. I joined in at the protest in West Palm at the county comissioners office during their recount during the 2000 election there pal. I took my son and wife to that one pal.
I've supported his push to make our military one again a real force. I also think it wonderful how he supports our troops and thier families.
And once again you don't know what the hell you are saying when you claim I don't fight dems with vigor pal so just keep being a blind sheep whether policies be good or bad for you and or your country there pal.
Bahh Bahh Bahh.
"I think Bush is just in the wrong place at the wrong time. "
I disagree. If he were opposed to it he would be the hero of conservatives. Even if it passed without his support and they overrode his veto he would still be the hero.
"Amnesty for ILLEGALS is a killer for whoever signs on to the idea. What the hell is wrong with this president? This would be a worse reputation breaker then his fathers,"NO NEW TAXES" line of B.S."
Far worse. In thirty years nobody will remember Bush 41 violating his tax pledge and their will be no remaining consequences with us. The consequences of Bush 43's failure on illegal immigration will be with us forever and will be irreversable.
Your post is very muddled and confusing to me..... (yes I am slow.)
Try making it simple for me. Are you speaking in Navajo Windtalker Code, by thew way?
"Just Give Me Some Truth" --- not from uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
J.L.
WHAT bandwagon?
THEY DO NOT CARE. THEY ARE POLITICIANS.
They're not real stupid, but they don't care about anything but themselves.
Head to the hills!
I am serious!
You missed the point completely, (jmo).
George W. Bush is a hired hand, he's doing a JOB. He took the job. I like the fellow, but he took the job.
He's doing the job. And you know what THAT job is don't you.
"So what, we lost the border issue end of story. He has lowered taxes and is trying to win Iraq. The border is dead and you guys killed it."
SO WHAT! This is not a SO WHAT issue; and maybe if Bush and his cronies cared about our border they would learn how to obfuscate the arms flowing over the border of Iraq. Since when did questioning the misuse of executive power become unAmerican?
I look at it as theatre now that I'll be 60 years old within days. (Hell, I looked at it as theatre back in November of '63).
I've been observing the bull/disinformation, the pristine, single bullet, Jack Ruby - the real patriot (barf), O.K.C. cover up, Flight 800 cover up, Vince got to the Park before his car, The Gulf of Tonkin.... (just a few) all the bull for way too long.
It's all theatre, and if you are of above average intelligence, and I know that you are way above that level, there is only one way to deal with all of this.
It is to smile, go fishing............ or drink a few beers....... or both. (Or something like that.)
By the way....... I do not fish.
;-)
Yes.
We shouted about ILLEGALS and they held their hands over their ears.
We shouted about tax reform and they held their hands over their ears.
Maybe they should go on a listening tour instead of a deafening tour.
How many will go straight to the welfare office for a ton goodies and then demand more. Can you imagine what this country will be like when over 25% of the population doesn't speak English? If this passes, and it will, there can only be trouble. Too many people in to short of a time, like a pressure cooker something is going to happen.
"Some people say the Illuminati, the funny Bohemian Grove characters, etc. ............ are all fiction. I don't think so."
You are a nut job.
It is to smile, go fishing............ or drink a few beers....... or both. (Or something like that.)
Yes. Just enjoy life and be a positive influence within your social circle, and you will do more good for America than you will by supporting any politician.
I think the old bumper sticker line "Don't Vote - It Just Encourages Them" was never truer than it is today.
