Bush: Americans will realize need for aliens
The Washington Times ^ | July 20, 2007 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 07/20/2007 6:17:46 PM PDT by Baladas

President Bush yesterday said Americans will soon realize they need the immigrants and foreign temporary workers that would have been allowed by his immigration bill, which was defeated in the Senate last month.

Mr. Bush, in a town hall session in Nashville, Tenn., also refused to say whether he will pardon two U.S. Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting a fleeing drug-smuggling suspect, saying the prosecutor was a friend of his who made his case to the jury that convicted the agents.

If Mr. Bush was hoping the immigration issue would disappear after his bill's failure, those hopes were dashed, as he was asked repeatedly about border security during the forum — meant to highlight his commitment to cutting the deficit.

"The bill failed and I can't make a prediction to you at this point, sir, where it's going to head," the president told one questioner. "I can make you a prediction, though, that pretty shortly people are going to be knocking on people's doors saying, man, we're running out of workers."

Mr. Bush said there are workers who will do jobs Americans aren't doing in the agriculture sector in particular, and without them the jobs will go unfilled.

Wow. Somehow those words strung together do not compute.

And YOU call me a complete idiot?? LOL!

You're out of your league, RavenATB. Run along.

That the rest of the country did not support because it was amnesty for illegal alien criminals. That is why it failed even though the rest of us voted for him too.

Period and nuff said.

Meaning that you cannot support this crap any more than our failed President and don't want to discuss it further because you know that you are wrong.

bray I didn't slink off anywhere. I have been busy enjoying my life. Your rants don't make sense so I haven't responded to them. IF you would start responding to my posts with anything other than name calling I would respond to yours. Besides your constant whining to the mods is a nuisance just like the rest of your actions.

You sniveling little piece of keyboard lint. You are so devoid of any logic or reasonable thought you must either be retarded or twelve years old. Go tell your daddy you are done with the computer now and don't leave your lollipop on the keyboard to melt.

You said you picked apples once. Was there heavy pesticide use in that orchard? You probably have been damaged by DDT but even that will not excuse you from my attentions. Be a human and discuss the facts.

You accuse others of racism but your posts are full of "Manuel labor", "Paco picking lettuce" and other racist comments. You are a sick person that needs a cleaning of the attic.

Yeah, yeah, and as soon as I quit replying you'll say that you "roasted my ass" or "flayed my ass" as you've said about other posters who've decided not to toss pearls in your direction. Go ahead and say it, I'm done replying to you. Just bear in mind that I'll chuckle when I read it, I see it for the little boy bravado it really is.

Post# 493 proves that you are out of your league.

You and the other illegal alien lovers have sure stayed away from that one.

There are a lot more but why should they be posted when y’all run from the first?

There should be a brief test to find out if one is qualified to post here.

1) Do you know the difference between legal and illegal? List all answers A ~ D that you think are legal.

A) Removing funds from your bank account via a check, withdrawal slip, credit or debit card is legal.

B) Entering a sovereign nation by illegally stealing across the border and then lying to everyone in sight while sucking up services that you do not qualify for is legal.

C) Entering a bank with a gun; shooting a teller and stealing cash is legal.

D) Entering a sovereign nation by legal means and following the process to become a citizen is legal.

Pick the correct answers and wait for your grade. Note, I grade down for the stupid people so your hint is that only two answers are correct.

I want the record to show that the only name-calling going on right now is from RavenATB and yourself.

You guys should just take a deep breath and respect a different opinion being expressed.

What do you say?

They never responded once because they could not. It is not a matter of “quit replying” and you know it.

Neither can you so you call it “little boy bravado”.

I don’t think you are even capable of that as you have avoided my previous posts too.

I never respected you Melas and the level of respect just went down. Damn, I didn’t think you could sink lower but you keep digging.

SoldierDad and donkey this thread is still here and there are posts that you are afraid to address.

They will not go away.

When I hear somebody calling someone “stupid” I know that they are not talking about me. You may not have this pleasure.

Address the posts.

Your analogy is flawed, IMO.

I am a free market enthusiast. I think it nobody’s business who I choose to hire among those willing to sell their labor.

The government has for decades knowlingly winked and nodded at the underground economy which has driven this historic economic boom.

Get over yourselves.

I'm especially waiting for a response and correction about his/her '90%' of the illegal aliens 'are Mexicans.'
I know I'll be waiting a long time because that figure was used only so he/she could justify the continued race-mongering.

The OBLers pick and choose words to respond to, take words completely out of context, repeat the same ridiculous phrases over and over, act dumb (well... maybe not acting) yet superior at the same time, set up their shrines and cult ops to Bush...
It's kind of like Bush himself in the title of this thread: Americans will realize need for aliens. Puh-lease!

Why would it concern me that a man who I have no respect for, doesn't respect me? There are lot of people in this world who's respect I care about, and you're not one of them.

So you support the hiring of criminals.

Do you keep the rapists away from the female employees or is that okay too? How about those that abuse babies?

You really creep me out.

Why don’t you back-slapping girls address the posts that we have presented?

Oh maybe you can’t!

You won’t either because you are wrong, know it and are not smart enough to dig out.

I am pinging the other criminal lovers too.
