You guys are cracked. Look around, get out of the house, go talk with people. It's very clear that, despite the idealistic, yet naive hopes of deporting all illegals and shooting anyone that dare attempt to cross, McCain's proposal, just like Bush's plan is reasonable.

That's what the majority see - a reasonable approach.

Reasonable? Okay. Are our soldiers fighting now in Iraq to bring safety and security to people that have invaded our country?

Did Americans die in wars all around the world so that illegal aliens could simply walk across the border and get the rights that U.S. citizens enjoy?

Is it reasonable to allow criminals out of jail simply because they demand it?

Does your chest swell with pride when you see millions of invaders of the U.S. marching down the street demanding the same rights as the citizens have?

Do you believe in a "new America".

We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.

Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

Our future cannot be separated from the future of Latin America.

As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico.

George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.

You can read the speech here.

Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:

In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on. My Bush Epiphany By Lawrence Auster

---

I do go out of the house and talk to people. I tell them we are being invaded and to watch out for quislings like you that believe U.S. citizenship can be given away as cheaply as McCain is offering. I tell them that their are people here in the U.S., like you, that are willing to participate in the erosion of our sovereignty and culture because they are to cowardly to stand up FOR them.

I tell them that the only way the United States of American will remain a great and powerful sovereign nation is by defeating people like you and McCain and Bush.

What do you tell them? That these people, who have INVADED the U.S., should be rewarded for their invasion? Do you tell them that these people who are stealing from them should be forgiven?

Do you tell them that is is right to give them amnesty and citizenship AHEAD of the hundreds of thousands that have been waiting patiently in line for years? Do you feel you have a right to cut in lines at the supermarket? Why should they be allowed?
