The Bush administration is pushing Congress to act on the president's plan for granting amnesty to millions of Mexican workers living and working illegally in the United States.

Amnesty and the related "guest-worker" issue have surfaced anew partly because Mr. Bush is preparing once more to take up the matter with Mexican President Vicente Fox in Monterrey, Mexico, on March 22.

RATHER THAN JUST RANT AND RAVE ON THIS FORUM, HOW ABOUT TAKING EFFECTIVE, CONSTRUCTIVE ACTION BY BECOMMING INFORMED ON THE ISSUE, AND WORKING THROUGH IMMIGRATION CONTROL AND REFORM ORGANIZATIONS TO LOBBY CONGRESS.

It is becoming very clear that this terrible problem is cartwheeling out of control when we have to "lobby congress" to save our country and stop this titanic invasion of millions.

Don't be fooled, Congress and the Whitehouse knows exactly what the hell is happening, as it is they, that have brought this invasion to our very doors.

If true, this sucks big time, but to be fair, last time this was floated it was leaked to the press by Mexican government officials. It got shot down big time.

So it wouldn't surprise me that Mexican government officials leaked this again to put pressure on the administration.

This is the one issue Bush most of all needs to pull his head out of his ass.

Hey, you've got that down pretty good. Are you sure you're not undercover for the "Bushbots"? Grin. Isn't this a sad situation.

I believe the time is near for another revolution in this great country of ours, the time to tear down the current government and start from scratch with a new one. We have learned a lot from our mistakes since 1776, and we should incorporate what we have learned into our current Constitution and design an even better version of it.

Of all the amendments in our current Constitution, if I were to just pick one, that I feel would be paramount to incorporate into a newer and improved version, would in my mind have to be the 2nd Amendment, but perhaps making its meaning even clearer as such:

This amendment to the Constitution grants to every American citizen the right to own, keep, and bear arms of any type and of any quantity. This right shall not be infringed upon or restricted in any way by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or departments, by Congress, by any federal or state court or judge, or by any state legislature or state constitution.

Constitutional Convention here we come.

It may not be as far-fetched as some think if the government keeps playing these kinds of games.

Then again, it might have been leaked by the Bushies as a trial baloon to test public reaction. As if they wouldn't know what it would be. Chris Cannon (RINO) has been pushing the illegal immigration issue for them now for quite a while. He just introduced legislation to give illegals in-state tuition nationwide.

My guess is Bush & Fox are on the same team. Likely includes Tony Blair & Vladimir Putin as well. I am highly suspicious of how Fox was elected after 70 years of rule by the PRI. Was there a little CIA/NWO activity? Fox lived in the US and was an executive with Coca Cola, a company that has been used by the CIA due to its worlwide presence.

This seems to be a plan unfolding on a worldwide basis. We are placing our men in key positions around the world. We now have Mushaaref in Pakistan & Karzai in Afghanistan. Mohammed Aideed's son has been mentioned as the pro-US ruler for Somalia. The Shah of Iran's son stands ready to return to rule that country. We are trying to decide who our man in Iraq will be post-Saddam.

Obviously, most of these moves on the surface are good. I would rather have an American puppet ruling these places than a dangerous radical. The question is, are these guys pro-US or are they pro-New World Order?

By the way, the Bush roots run deep in Latin America. Jeb's wife is from Mexico. Neil's wife is from Columbia. No complaint from me since I think Latin women are so beautiful! It does give some insight to the Bush outlook. Jeb's son is already being pushed to be the 1st Latin US President. He was shown heavily during his Uncle's 2000 campaign. The press was hailing him as the new Ricky Martin. Given the Bush-NWO ties, I would not bet against this scenario in about 15-20 years.

Yeah, I know. He claims the Utah Ski resorts couldn't function without illegal labor.

I don't know who leaked it, but I've done a Yahoo news search and it doesn't bring up any hits. Only the Washinton Times has the story! So, all hope isn't lost. It might be just BS.

They ran just fine for the first 50 years of their existence without these guys. It was only after the refugees from LA moved to Park City and brought their problems with them did Utah suddenly become "unable to function" without illegal alien labor.

Economists who oppose amnesty and guest-worker programs say that reasoning is false. They say using cheap foreign labor stifles business innovation and shifts labor costs from employers to taxpayers, who must pay for the expanded welfare and health care required by the low-wage aliens.

What part of this don't they understand?

When both parties ignore the wishes of 90% of the citizenry, that is TYRANNY.

Who remembers what our Founding Fathers said the antidote to tyranny is??

I would gladly contribute my time and money to any organization that wants to patrol, apprehend illegal aliens and protect our borders.

Didn't some ranchers try this in the Southwest? I think the result was the Mexican government threatened to bring in the U.N. on human rights charges and US law enforcement threatened to charge the ranchers with kidnapping or unlawful arrest of something and warned them if any Mexicans got hurt there'd be hell to pay....

I think it is time for a permanent Citizens Border Patrol. Nobody is government is listening to 90% of us. Big business gets cheap labor subsized by tax payers and DemoRATS get illegal votes.
