We are caught between a rock and a hard place. Cheney could serve out the remainder of his term as president, but I have absolutely had it with Bush. I feel so embarrassed to have voted for this jackass... twice.

"President Bush sought to soothe strained ties with Mexico on Tuesday by promising to prod Congress to overhaul tough U.S. immigration policies."

The laws may be tough on paper, but the government quite obviously doesn't want to enforce them.

"And so, Mr. President, my pledge to you and your government — but, more importantly, the people of Mexico — is I will work as hard as I possibly can to pass comprehensive immigration reform."

Interesting...

"In the debate on migration, I remind my fellow citizens that family values do not stop at the Rio Grande River, that there are decent, hardworking honorable citizens of Mexico who want to make a living for their families," Bush said as he stood beside Calderon. "And so, Mr. President, my pledge to you and your government — but, more importantly, the people of Mexico — is I will work as hard as I possibly can to pass comprehensive immigration reform."

Just who does he think he is trying to serve, us or them? If "family values" are so fricking important to these intruders, why doesn't he tell their own president to do something about them?

It's all crap Mr President, just crap. Please don't insult my intelligence by spouting this drivel again.

A 14-mile stretch under construction in the San Diego area is estimated to cost $126.5 million." That's some fence!! But at least its a start.

$9 million a mile? For a fence? You could build a highway for 9 million a mile.

What BS.

They're certainly not spineless. They are steadfast i their commitment to transform our home into a third world cesspool are are working tirelessly to do so.

They are dedicated to the fight. They're just not on your side.

If I am elected, I pledge to immediately station two National Guard members per kilometer until the fence can be completed. They will have authority to challenge and fire.

Good gravy, and I voted for this guy FOUR bloomin' times (twice for governor, twice for president)! Even been to Crawford, and bought some silly nonsense like a GW coffee mug and whatnot. Ouch, now I can't even bear to look at his face on tv, thanks to his unbridled devotion to Mexico and granting amnesty to its avalanche of illegals.

If this has taught me anything, it's that I'll never, never, never give any politician my vote, until I'm certain they are 100% solid on borders, sovereignty, and enforcing the bloomin' law. Can't just fall back on the notion that the Republican candidate is automatically deserving of my vote, like I've always tended to do.

Why am i thinking that Mexico should be trying to soothe ties with America??

They've agreed that the McCain-Kennedy bill will be renamed "Reforma Comprensiva de la Immigracion." English translations will be made available upon request.

No truth to the rumor that

No Child Left Behind

will be renamed to

No Little Chili Bean Left Behind

[eeevil conservative]

why does Bush have to sooth ties with Mexico?

It's not like we are being invaded at our southern border or anything...../do I HAVE to?

[bill1952]

and he still keeps pushing the same old crap


so do most of the Senators and about half of the house.
What about them?

Personally, I'm not worried about Bush. I'm more worried about the many butt buddies in congress, ala McCain and Teddy.

"....so sick of him I could spit."

Remember this, and it is a little more understandable......Poppa Bush 41 was going to jam NAFTA down our throats during his second term that he never had.....failing that, after he was defeated (the sucking sound), as the lamest-duck part of his presidency ticked off, he committed the US Govt to "fast-track" legislation re NAFTA.....the clock ticked real fast during the beginnings of Clintons admin, and THAT is how we wound up with NAFTA, for which one of the major benefits pushed as a selling point was tha it would cut legal and illegal immigration by virtue of bettering Messico's domestic economy. So much for THAT lie!

So we suffered the clinton 8 yrs, now we have another Bush, who has been continuing daddys work......and a fiasco WOT/Iraq that sucks all the breath from public attention to what THIS Bush is doing wrt Messico......watch out now, because from here on out he has nothing to fear.....not another prez or congressional election.......he is as lame-duck as it gets, and has nothing to lose with selling our sovereignty and in fact our very nationhood like the good little trilateralist/globalist that his daddy raised him to be.

Daddy might have done the whole thing himself, but his Iraq distraction was short-lived, and his second term non-existent.

We're in deeeep shi'ite! Global jihad is real, for sure.....but it serves as great cover for the "totalization" about to come out of the closet.

I pray I'm wrong, believe me. Washington is full of trenchrats.

Bush would do better to try to "soothe ties" with America, Mexico already rules here.

[kcvl]

He needs to be trying to smooth ties with LEGAL AMERICAN CITIENS!

[ca centered]

You summed it up. "the new world order" It's okay for the elite. The rest of us, well,"let them eat cake(pastel)".

[wku man]

The Bushbots are being very quiet today. After hearing him talk about the joys of loading lettuce into crates, maybe they finally realize Bush is a complete, total, babbling IDIOT? Good Lord, with this man in the WH, and the abysmal choices we have for his successor, we are truly screwed as a nation.
