I repeat. This issue divides people into two groups: those who believe in the concept of the United States of America as a nation, and those who don’t.
Interesting how Pres. Bush totally sidesteps the issue of legality by referring to these law-breakers as “newcomers.”
The use of such a neutral word is inappropriate here. The VAST MAJORITY of these so-called “newcomers” are, in fact, illegal invaders.
Dear JH2,
Thank you for finding and posting these articles. I truly appreciate your efforts to spread awareness. This is another one of those nightmares that just defies belief. How did this happen to/in our great country. We let it happen. You are a patriot.
For me, this article offers the best explanation for Bush’s efforts (obsession?). I have stuck by him through thick and thin but this is the second time, and more so than the Harriet Miers episode, where I seriously wonder WHAT IS HE THINKING (can you imagine the frustration within his administration)! This issue triggers severe disappointment and leads me to a little appreciation for those who mock him for his broken record explanations (only just a little as I wouldn’t want to yield ANY ground to a leftist for ANY reason).
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
am·nes·ty –noun 1. a general pardon for offenses, esp. political offenses, against a government, often granted before any trial or conviction.
2. Law. an act of forgiveness for past offenses, esp. to a class of persons as a whole.
3. a forgetting or overlooking of any past offense. –verb (used with object) 4. to grant amnesty to; pardon.
Makes you wonder where the real Jerry Rivers went to get back his good name after Geraldo was done with it.
Can't you just hear the condescension dripping from this man's voice? The rest of us who didn't grow up in Tejas are just ignorant, drooling knuckle-dragging racists because we don't want illegal invaders coming into our country in waves and changing the very soul of it overnight.
"I am deeply concerned about America losing its soul," he said, bemoaning the country's opposition to illegal -- illegal -- immigration. "I am worried that a backlash to newcomers could cause our country to lose its great capacity to assimilate newcomers."
America's soul has been gasping for survival for ages.
Amen to the (author's) last comment. America's not gasping for it's soul because we reject illegal immigrants. It's because a sizable portion of our culture (liberals) live in a feverish fairyland that ignores economic and physical reality while our politicans and media cater to their every delusional whim.
I think you can add to that a large group who are oblivious to the concept.
When breaking the law and acting as if you’re owed something... even though you never corrected the situation, is decency... we need to change the definition.
U.S. Constitution, Article 4 Section 4:
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,
1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.
It's easy to recognize decency and hard work when it's not your job, lifestyle, or neighborhood being third worldified. And to think I voted for this POS.
You can't help wonder if frustration at seeing that pipe dream proved wrong (and the subsequent failings to adjust course to deal with the brutal reality of post-war Iraq, and the Muslim world in general) is further fueling this frenzied push to ram amnesty through.
A legacy of self-justification?
I was ambivalent before those marches.....they made me go AGAINST THEM.
Ditto.
Furthermore, I have concluded the WOT is a farce so long as this situation exists.
I live and work in downtown Seattle and simply didn't care until those clowns started clambering up and down the streets every May 1st, snarling traffic while laughably demanding "equality" and shouting in the faces of people who live and work under the Rule of Law.
That was the primary tactical error of the amnesty bill supporters: introducing the bill within a couple weeks of the most recent march....when it was fresh in the minds of everyone whose commute was turned into a 4 hour nightmare because a bunch of crybabies aren't willing to follow the rules.
The timing added insult to treason.
Personally, I was amazed at how immediately livid I became over it. If the bill supporters had waited a few months, I would have just been mad. As it was, I am furious.
