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)?
No the point is 99.99% of us are here because someone came from another country and the future repeats the past so it won't be as bad as some think !
You can take it. Cheer up and quit your cryin.
LOL! Well, you have a point there. Diane Medved doesn't exactly strike me as a doormat.
Maybe it was the show about repealing the nineteenth amendment (certainly could be jive, but it's offensive, nonetheless...when he gets conservative women calling in to tell him he's right, I cringe). Maybe it's that I know his son's name (Danny), but I couldn't name his daughters with a gun to my temple. Whenever he says he's going to talk about women, I brace myself. Maybe when I hear his rabbi talk about how men are better at most things than women (I'm trying to recall the exact topic and phrase he used, but I can't - that was my impression), I see him, in my mind's eye, standing in the background nodding furiously.
Having said that, I think he's a master of history, and quite brilliant.
And what do you know? He thinks this is a great bill.
You put up the offer by posing the question. Now, answer the question. What's the difference between a 'green card' and ordinary citizenship in America?
Yes, and Amnesty and expressed favoritism by Bush to the Hispanics is a hell of way to build a bridge to the Black folks in this country that have bared the brunt of illegal immigration. The lack of judgement of this administration and the GOP never ceases to amaze me.
That link means nothing. Once illegals are permitted in America they continue illegal activities ..... including voting.

Yes, and Reagan himself admitted that his Amnesty in 1986 was a mistake.
If we eliminate welfare then borders cease to be a problem.
I don't honestly know if the RNC are on firm ground assuming that by courting the votes of as yet to be citizens will garner an election. But I do know that if you teach a man to fish he'll feed himself.
Unfortunately the world is far more complicated than a few trite metaphors.
So I'll take the political shortcut and go with Ron Paul. And I should add that I have lived in Southern California and some of the best people I've known were Mexican. I'm not worried about them as much as I am the types who trolled Florida neighborhoods pulling voters out of their houses to drag them to the booths.
But then again I come from Maryland where the dead still vote.
Tell your son I said Semper Fi. He and all of our sons and daughters are in my prayers.
Night.
