Well I'm mad and I'm angry, and maybe that's why I can't think of an appropriate response. While all of us were prasing him for how he was dealing with the war on terror, Bush passes this Amnesty Bill, something that not even the sneaky Bill Clinton would do. This is one of the worse Bills to pass through Congress, it will hurt us in many ways, and ten years from now we will still be feeling it's effects.
Bush has, without a doubt in my mind, sold us out for the Hispanic vote. He sold us out because he can take our vote for granted (who will we vote for Al Gore?). Is he wrong? What do we do when the Republicans stop looking out for our interests? Is it time for a new party, or do we work within the party and try to root out the Republicans In Name Only (of which there are many)?
Really? Are you on the GOP_insider's_list? Let's see, now .... sice Bush has been in office, 1) you support the Patriot Act (a method to deny American's their Consitutional Rights), 2) Bush's decision to grant permanent MFN status to China (a method that could have been used to ensure normal relations, while decreasing import revenues and duty taxes), 3) this ammnesty bill (a method to dilute our American soveignty while piling up significant tax burdens upon an oalready over taxed America).
Next, I probably will see you jump into bed with McCain as Bush signs this "campaign finance reform bill" ( a method to deny Americans their Constitutional Rights.)
If they came here legally, then they are here legally and would not need amnesty to make them legal. This bill is to reward those who chose to come legally, it sounds like it's meant to reward those who have had anchor babies and now want to cash in on some other benefits that legality would give them.
As has been stated repeatedly and is in the black and white text of the bill, THIS IS NOT AN AMNESTY bill. just as the shadow government was NOT A SHADOW GOVERNMENT!. Now, the best estimate of those that fall under the extension rules is approx. 200,000. Read the darn bill!
You haven't read it. That's obvious.
But, you're a pretty good gauge, Buck.
If you're on the other side, I know I'm on the right side.
I hear ya'!
"I'm going to see how this one plays out..."
I'm cautiously optimistic. I do feel better than I did last night, tho'.
I am truly laughing out loud, ha ha he h ehe.
Actually, you are wrong. It is meant to give a break to those who stayed past their VISAs, due to inefficiencies in the INS.
They came here expecting to remain for more than one VISA, but the INS apparantly did not process their paperwork.
Dick Armey laid it out pretty clear that he'd never have supported this legislation if it were meant to support anyone who entered the country illegally.
If you want to believe the media spin, then be my guest. Do what you choose, but I believe Dick Armey.
HA HA HA AH, WHAT ARE THEY CALLING IT NOW! LOL!
I know the Libertarians can't win and I don't agree with their open borders any more than I agree with Bush-Fox's open borders, but at least the libertarians wouldn't be attracting them with all the government handout programs the Bush-Fox team will.
Friend, that would require something beyond a knee-jerk reaction. It ain't happenin'.
You were laughing so hard that you forgot to actually come back with some real debate, didn't you?
I took the time to make real discussion with you, and you've chosen to act like a democrat.
Now that is Orwellian Double Speak! Good job! You are now eligible for GOP prizes such as riding upon ignorant elephants in a three ring circus! Congratulations! You can pick up your free tickets at the Office of Immigration. Just show that you have a family member to sponsor and of course, make that check out to "US GOVERNEMNT" for $1,000US (not pesos).
Ka-Boom!
Nader's a whacknut enviro-kook, but at least he's honest and straightforward about where he stands, even if he is out in left field.
Think of it as a serape amnesty.
