The Republican Party is in full self destruct mode, thanks to George W. Bush and his amnesty plan for illegal immigrants. Two days after Bush slammed his critics over what he referred to as their lack of patriotism for failing to support his program to put lawbreakers on a fast track to citizenship, the Republican National Committee reportedly fired all 65 of its telephone solicitors because donors are furious about the amnesty plan.
The Democrats of course, led by Teddy Kennedy are all for the plan, as it would create an even bigger base of constituents for them and their entitlement programs. But many Republicans are also signing off on the plan, which has many conservatives mad as hell.
This immigration reform plan addresses neither the core issues of border security, nor the problem of 30 million illegals who most of the citizenry wants to see deported, not rewarded for breaking our laws to get into this country.
A recent poll indicated a mere 26 percent support Bush's plan. Yet this thing is being fast-tracked. The politicians are planning on shoving it down our throats whether we want it or not.
It's time to send a message to Washington.
Back in the 1980s, when congress was threatening to give themselves a huge 50 percent pay increase, several local radio talk show hosts across the country banded together to urge their listeners to send tea bags to Washington with a note attached that read "Read my teabag...no 50 percent pay raise!"
It worked. The halls of congress were flooded with teabags and the pay raise was stopped. You must remember that this was before the Internet, and before the prominence of nationally syndicated radio talks show hosts like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. This was true networking...and it sent the message loud and clear.
With the blogosphere and Internet radio making a huge impact on society, a message just as loud and just as clear can and should be sent again.
Introducing Operation Border Jumpers. And it works like this.
Go to your nearest novelty store and purchase some Mexican Jumping Beans. Put them in an envelope, along with a note that reads "No amnesty for illegals!" and send it to your U.S. Senator and Representative.
If the halls of congress are once again inundated with messages from their constituents, they may relent and stop this insane idea to let the flood of illegals continue. And make no mistake about it. That's exactly what this bill will do.
Those illegals won't necessarily have any incentive to turn themselves in, as many don't want citizenship. And with the Z visas, family members of illegals will also be allowed to enter the country, suck up our benefits such as Social Security which is already nearly bankrupt, and commit heinous crimes such as rape and robbery.
No...it's time to round up all illegals and deport them. It's time to shut down the borders. It's time to give the U.S. Border Patrol the authority it needs to keep our country safe. And that means letting them shoot to kill any illegal attempting to cross our borders. Also, the National Guard should be allowed to fire their weapons as well, instead of just being eyes and ears for the Border Guards.
There are many who continue to argue that it would be impossible to round up and deport the 12 to 30 million illegals in this country. However, I believe it can be done. It would cost an estimated 250 billion dollars and take five years to accomplish. But it could be done if the American people had the backbone to do it.
But before we can address this, we must stop Bush's plan cold. And the only way to do this is to let the Senate and House feel your wrath.
So let's do it. Go to your local novelty store and buy those Mexican Jumping Beans. Or order them over the Internet. Send them with a note that reads "No amnesty for illegals!"
Let them know that border "jumping" illegals will not be tolerated and neither will Bush's amnesty.
Let's make Operation Border Jumpers a huge success.

“Bush is clearly on the side of the country club GOP”
His family is a charter member of that country club!! NE Republicans are always have RINO leanings.
“Backers of illegal immigration at a rally near Los Angeles took down an American flag at a U.S. post office, stamped on it and replaced it with a Mexican flag as police looked on, according to witnesses and a video of the event.”
Glad I was not there. Someone would have had the tiremarks of a 37 inch BFG mudder across their squashed head.
My husband’s band worked that campaign in 1978 for Bill Baxley, the Dem. Interesting experience.
On this one, Bush is clearly on the side of the country club GOP; you know, the guys that own businesses and want cheap labor.
That’s what this is about.
I dunno. It seems a circular motive... Once the illegal aliens are legalized, they are legitimate and subject to being taxable labor, thus rendering a good portion of their current "cheapness" null.
Granted, that is still cheaper than unionized w/ health and etc, but still...It would seem the status quo would be more to Big Business' liking.
I don't know what that means, other than that it shakes up the labor side of the equation without necessarily disturbing the traffic across the border.
It would seem that one should look for people who would benefit from that.

No fences will be built
Border Patrols are already neutralized
20 million more will jump the border.
Problem solved............
20 million more will jump the border. Problem solved...
except that the original 20m would then be without work.
We're not talking gubmint bookkeepin here- these are businesses. They truly can project what will happen in such a condition. There's no percentage in it.
The fact that the border is not closing is the key thing for me... maybe drug cartel money behind this...

Hi Bruce,
None of us know for sure who is behind this travesty,
but one thing we can agree on is how evil it is to attempt
it.
Just say NO to Amnesty!! Before it’s too late!!

Look at it from the Washington Political Wonks point of view...
Which is more likely to pass. A bill that gets the phones ringing, but not much else?
Or a bill that puts millions of screaming Hispanic voters (legal, or otherwise) in the streets, with HOURS of TV coverage?
