And now, to get even with the "vigilantes" and "bigots" who put the squash on his open border and pro-illegal elitism, he is PULLING GUARD TROOPS OFF THE BORDER. Calling him a hypocritic, anti-soverignty and anti-American on this issue is being kind. God please give us an AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE for the White House that is not a globalist-elitist who will RESPECT AND ENFORCE our borders.

Insanity...we got 3 million lettice head pickers.....in your dreams.

Note to 43: The labor argument was used to justify slavery, too. Way to go, sir.

1. President Bush sharply challenged critics of his stalled immigration-overhaul efforts
   
2. These men (Border Patrol agents) were convicted by a jury of their peers after listening to the facts" as presented by U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, said Bush.
3. Bush called Sutton a friend.

I'm biting my lip.

You can deal with a labor shortage without rewarding 20 million lawbreakers (gangbangers and drunk drivers included) with citizenship.

Defending the indefensible. 530 days to go.

[freespirited]

That’s the problem. As I see it, “the facts” as presented by “his friend Johnny” included perjured facts and lies by omission.

Just when he does something right (like warning China on trade), he turns around and does something stupid like this.

Some food for thought on the subject of labor...

You can deal with a labor shortage without rewarding 20 million
lawbreakers (gangbangers and drunk drivers included) with citizenship.

And the many, many identity theives in the illegal immigrant demographic.

The market will find a way, Mr. President.

[ConservativeMind]

There’s a difference between a “guest worker” program and letting people in the country who are here illegally, do that work.

A true guest worker program would have someone enter the country as a true “guest”—through legal means with a legitimate passport and visa. And our responsibility is to track these people to assure they get back to where they came from when that time ends.

What’s so hard to understand about that, Mr. President?

[SmoothTalker]

If it weren’t for the fact that our next president is likely to be a RINO or Hildebeast i’d be counting down the days till this clown is out of office. Leaving the borders wide-open during a war is unconscionable. Impugning the character of those who want a closed border is detestable.

LMFAO!

On the Bush Press Conference thread... I quipped that it WOULD BE about immigration reform.

530 days to go

Are we going to have to start an America Held Hostage thread?

[zerosix]

I am totally sickened by this "prices will be higher" crapola!!!

Vegtable and fruit prices at area supermarkets, thanks to NAFTA, CAFTA, etc., are now highest seen in years!!!

What's wrong with Bush and his "friends"?These people are not merely having more babies, they are bringing entire towns from MEXICO to U.S. and not merely in Southwest areas!Get some enforcement going NOW!!!

I simply refuse to respect Pres. Bush until HE FOLLOWS LAWS ALREADY ON BOOKS!

If I, as a good citizen must follow laws, why don't they and especially why doesn't Pres. Bush?

[airborne]

The labor argument was used to justify slavery, too.

Well said! Needs to be repeated!
