However, he opposes an amnesty for America's 12 million illegal immigrants

No need to read any further - this is a fiction piece.

Nailed it, oldbill. The Rooty rooters will tell us though, that once again we have to hold our noses and vote for Rooty 'cause that's the only way to WIN.

The issue has seen Mr Bush at his most courageous on the domestic political front.

Not at all. There is an establishment that is all for open borders, going against them is an act of courage, truckling to them is not. GWB fears them more than screwing his constituents, that shows you where the power lies, and something about the nature of our democracy as well.

It's being covered up for now, but the dirty little secret about this subprime mortgage collapse is that many, probably most of these loans were to the illegal immigrant block that banks and lenders were catering to.

The guys running the show what to keep the lid on this until they get amnesty passed, then they can restructure these loans. And they are in a panic that it will become another savings and loan bailout costing as of now up to a quarter trillion in defaults.

If the link between subprime mortgages and illegals gets out before they vote on amnesty in April/May, it will kill it, so everybody tiptoes around it for now.

"for illegal workers to gain some form of citizenship"
Some form???? Is that like 'some form' of pregnancy? You're either a citizen or not.

Mr Bush is promoting a combination of more liberal immigration law, including a guest-worker programme and the long-term opportunity for illegal workers to gain some form of citizenship.

However, he opposes an amnesty for America's 12 million illegal immigrants.

How pray tell, can he be opposed to amnesty, but still want to grant them an opportunity to gain some form of citizenship?

There it is folks. Americans are irrelevant. What we want does not matter to that globalist POS! He is destroying America. Get used to seeing marches in the streets where the face covered banditos making demands on us again.

After all, they will be US citizens then so why should they have to work for minimum wages when they can join the unions and make union scale? That's going to force those employers who were enjoying the low wages to put out the next call for additional illegals to do the job that the new citizens won't do.

Foreign workers and foreign students must be allowed to increase.

Clearly the president has a plan. What do you think it is?

A good migration law will help both economies and will help the security of both countries

That's true. For instance, if we were to end all immigration now, American workers would instantly have more job security, their wages would stabilize and most likely even go up, and they would also feel confident in spending rather than pulling back due to worries about being outsourced or having to compete with slave labor.

And clearly, American security would be helped immensely. What have we seen since 9/11? A wave of violence against Americans by people in the country illegally and even legally. Remember Chai Vang, the Hmong who killed not one, but six people? Remeber the Trolley Square Jihadist, who killed not one, but five innocents?

Things like that did not happen in 1960, folks. If they did, the perps would have simply disappeared in the blue smoke of the State Pen's Ol' Sparky.

But they didn't. You never heard of such things. Among other reasons, it's because immigration was rather severly limited. And was virtually all from Europe. By design.

And as for Mexico? If Mexico loses its safety valve, then fat, disgusting creeps like Carlos Slim, the world's third wealthiest human being, will have to face the music: 100 million of the poorest of the poor. Right now, El Gordo depends on us to keep them from going apes**t. But when that pressure relief ain't there no more....boom.

And their economy? Same thing. Gonna take a revolution. Will it get better? Maybe. Wasn't that bad 40 years ago, when they had their own markets. It wasn't the U.S., but it wasn't as bad as it is now for them. Some of you may argue about that, but since I had relatives living there then, and they agree with what I've just said, you can save your breath. It's a fact.

Yessir, I agree. New immigration law would help.

Like, a re-institution of the 1924 Act.

Brit Hume tonight pointed out that "migration" refers to movement of population within a country (as contrasted with immigration and emigration across international boundaries.) Since Bush is now calling it a "migration law" he apparently sees us as simply one big North American country in which the former Mexico is a southern part.

I also noticed that he told his Mexican listeners that he was optimistic about a "comprehensive" migration law because the atmosphere in Congress had changed. Now what change was this? The Dims took over, that's the change. And after the new migration law is passed, the Dims will be in power for a generation to come.

Establish the UN Charter to replace our Constitution.

"If people can come into our country, for example, on a temporary basis to work, doing jobs Americans aren't doing..."

Dammit! There he goes again.

What planet do Republican politicians and the President live on?

Illegal immigation, insulting American workers, socialist entitlement programs... all of this crap lost Republican majority last November.

Why not just open up our borders and invite 6,000,000,000,000 (6 billion) people to live in America.

I give up.

I've had it with this Administration.

I've been a staunch Conservative since I voted for Goldwater in 1964, and look at what we have today. It's pathetic.

Newt and a half dozen others are the only sane ones of the bunch. And even FReepers continue the liberal mantra about Newt's "baggage."

I'm so pissed that I can't even organize this rant into a logical thought thread.

Clearly the president has a plan. What do you think it is?

1. Do exactly what he has been ordered to do.
2. Establish the North American Union through whatever means necessary.
3. Destroy the dollar, and establish the amero.
4. Due his duty by Prescott Bush.
