Republicans Not Buying Bush Amnesty

I’m gonna give W a little break on this. It’s not stupidity. It’s not because he’s being forced into this. He REALLY TRULY thinks this is a good thing. He told us he was for this before he ran, and it was clear from his term as Governor of Texas how he felt. I just never believed he would pick THIS issue as the one as the hill he wants to die on.

So be it.

I don’t know the date on the document you posted, but I thought that Pres Bush first brought up some form of amnesty in 2001 when he and Vicente Fox spoke on the House floor about it. When September 11th happened he dropped the subject for a few years. I thought then that he had forgotten the amnesty foolishness.

"Another freeper trusting the MSM for what the majority thinks of your President the same MSM you say lies all the time about Republican and conservative views and politicians.
Yet when you want to use it to make your point you do - I call this duplicity but maybe it is really nativity on my part.”

“nativity?”...don’t you mean "naivete?"

Maybe you should keep your opinions to yourself...
You Brits have enough problems of your own without sticking your nose in American politics.

Guys this is to give Hillary the presidency, divide the party and get republicans to not show up for elections.

Vote Ron Paul if you are really mad about this. They don’t want him in, and BUSH doesn’t care. Bush is trying to do something so he can involf MARTIAL LAW. He wins either way.

Congress needs to stop all lawmaking and impeach BUSH.

Political operatives are well aware that the disenchantment over immigration has settled primarily on Bush and those lawmakers who have led the charge in the Senate. Sen. Reid’s approval rating sunk 7 points in a month, to a microscopic 19%. John McCain (R-Ariz.) fell in many presidential polls. Yet the national GOP emerged unscathed, and may even have benefited, from the turmoil.

Maybe, just maybe, these turncoats will wake up and smell the coffee - - the American people want their borders protected.

I like your tagline, and it’s time for a change. May I suggest a trade?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Some typos are funny.

You’re right. Bush isn’t dumb. He’s a rabidly ambitious globalist lord, and his priorities and desires are more in tune with those of his fellow rulers of arabia and third-world nations than they are with his fellow Americans. We really don’t count to him or to the ruling classes. His reign has no foreign policy, no terror policy, no security policy, nada.

Bush is not dumb. He is just either blinded by his inlaws and/or the Klintoons have some verrrrry interesting pix of GWB in some compromising positions. “Honey, I knew those copies of F.B.I. files would come in handy.”

That is a stupid statement. There is a third possibility, namely that the President is an avowed Capitalist, and that he sees the need to maintain a stable pool of low rung labor to keep wage inflation in check. That simple.

Particularly when one is trying to demonstrate their devastating "wit" and is a half shy...

A month ago, Rasmussen reports, Democrats enjoyed a 14-point advantage (47% to 33%) as the party best able to handle immigration. Following the Senate debate, however, the Democrats’ advantage shrunk to only five points (40% to 35%). “Immigration,” he concludes, “is now tied with taxes as the GOP’s strongest issue” and is “the only issue on which unaffiliated voters trust Republicans more than Democrats.”

Hey dems, read 'em and weep!

The excerpt from that conference was in 2004. President Bush spoke on ending human trafficking both terms. Amnesty has always been for the victims.

Here's another thought...

From the CIA Fact Book on Mexico:

"Trafficking in persons: Definition Field Listing current situation: Mexico is a source, transit, and destination country for persons trafficked for sexual exploitation and labor; while the vast majority of victims are Central Americans trafficked along Mexico's southern border, other source regions include South America, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia; women and children are trafficked from rural regions to urban centers and tourist areas for sexual exploitation, often through fraudulent offers of employment or through threats of physical violence; the Mexican trafficking problem is often conflated with alien smuggling, and frequently the same criminal networks are involved; pervasive corruption among state and local law enforcement often impedes investigations tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Mexico remains on the Tier 2 Watch List for the third consecutive year based on future commitments to undertake additional efforts in prosecution, protection, and prevention of trafficking in persons, and the failure of the government to provide critical law enforcement data."

Jorge's Mexican pals are the chief source of human-traffic in this hemisphere and, as the CIA notes, the Mexicans fail to "provide critical law enforcement data", which means that they are resisting our LEO efforts to stop it.

Mr President. will it take this many people to march on Washington for you to see we the people do not want these illegal in our country...

President Bush spoke on ending human trafficking both terms.

OK, he 'spoke', what has he 'done'?

Curious how the Bush haters never notice that Congress’s approval rating fell even more during the same period. Seems the Country is just mad at everyone about everything these days.

But of course, in the ego centric world of the hard core Right, everything is about their personal political dogmas. To them it seems so obvious that what is driving this must be their latest “cause”

“Read my lips, WE WILL HAVE AMNESTY!!!

It can’t be stopped.....”

we stopped it before...we can stop it again and again and again!

tell ya what...
I’ll make you a friendly wager(Steak/Palm Restaurant) that there will not be an amnesty bill...
and I like my steak medium rare. :-]

Read what Jorge has planned for our future at www.spp.gov (that’s right, .GOV). He is not being forced into anything, we are.
