The McCain-Kennedy amnesty passed the Senate in 2006, instantly inspiring an outpouring of voter anger so virulent that it shut down the congressional switchboards. Despite enormous opposition from voters, lame-duck President Bush cockily told reporters, “I’ll see you at the bill signing” — the first step to ushering in a Democratic Congress in the upcoming midterm elections.

This was my first step away from Bush. I completely dumped him on election night 2006. After the GOP got it's clock cleaned and lost the House, he sends Tony Snow out to congratulate the democrats and announced, that with the new democrat controlled House he would have a partner to pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform. When I heard that I damned near shot the TV! From that point on Bush was dead to me.

“This country was made by immigrants”. Yeah but those types of immigrants don’t exist anymore.

Excellent read. All the GOP candidates should tack it to the wall next to their bathroom mirror.

“Out of nowhere, non-politician Donald Trump has shot to the top of the polls by denouncing America’s widely unpopular immigration policies. All those high-priced campaign consultants are standing around scratching their heads.”

I love how Trump is baffling the MSM and the politicians. He might not win, but he’s definitely making some very powerful people very uncomfortable...at last.

It’s a scam, businesses are willing to give them millions of dollars to try to push amnesty, and those businesses keep giving them money even if they never get it passed, just so long as they at least obstruct enforcement. That’s what the businesses really want, not amnesty. Amnesty would mean that the businesses would have to start paying minimum wage, social security, insurance, etc. They would rather have this gridlock where nothing gets done and illegals keep streaming across the border.

When Trump reminds us that Bush was a lousy president, this is part of what he means. Disgusting.

They don’t learn anything, other than to start lying through their teeth. They’ll keep trying once in (or back in) office.

Note the bit about Huckabee towards the end.

Campaign Huckabee is a world away from executive Huckabee.

democrats have been importing non-white 3rd world immigrants since 1965. With this strategy they've turned California liberal (used to be conservative as they voted Reagan governor before the illegals and immigrants took over).

The media and democrats put non-whites and immigrants into a plantation and use racial warfare as other marxists used class warfare to install socialism (”Republicans are racist”).

And say what you will about Republicans as you freepers lecture me the states run by Republicans are doing better as in Texas vs California and the Red states vs the Blue states. If we don't see the problem as coulter states it and we don't fight then we're done. this bs about the parties being the same just helps democrats and what they are doing with racial politics (racial marxism I call it).

Yeah maybe at the national level the Congress, boner et al are horrible but look the states .

This is the only chance we have to fight the democrat/media/immigrant complex. to not see this as the source of all problems is our error. We freeepers and Americans do see the problem illegals . yes but also immigrants are the problem and the democrat party and media using immigrants to install socialism on us . this is why the country keeps moving towards the left the media and the immigrants. If there weren't the 80 million non-white 3rd world immigrants imported since ted kennedy’s and the democrats 1965 immigration act the country wouldn't be so far to the left now.

Very good article. Ann catches a lot of flak from Conservatives and rightfully so, but when it comes to the issue of immigration, illegal aliens and amnesty, she is an irresistable force. I have a lot of respect for her and Michelle Malkin on this issue.

Bush could have shut down illegal crossings from the Mexican border on 9/12/2001 and he would have had 100% support of the American people .....that would have saved more US lives than any of the wars in the middle east have
