Email/Letter writing campaign against The President's plan for immigration

Myself

[Remember_Salamis]

Has anybody started an email/letter writing campaign in response to the president's proposed immigration initiative?

We need to show the president that he can't take advantage of his conservative base.

"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." -- Theodore Roosevelt, 1910

Nice job Mr. President.

[Stallone]

Time will prove the wisdom of the Bush policy.

The reality is the illegals are here, and have been for years. Many are the guests of Americans like you.

What Bush needs is political cover to nail those illegals to the wall who will not officially reveal their existence and play by the rules.

By giving them a fair chance to provide the best of their presence, the willingness to work at entry-level jobs that Americans shun, and removing the worst, which is their unregistered and illegal status, Bush is once again achieving the heroic and legendary.

Freepers will embrace this policy with time.

I'll be patient in my counter-criticism because I believe emotions and not common sense are guiding the initial reaction.

[BradyLS]

YOU SEAL THE BORDER to stop this massive migration, north and south!! Once that has been established, you proceed to document the illegals that are already here.

"Okay, here's the Championship play let's keep it simple: Lattrell, you take the inbound with 8 seconds left, beat Kobe off the dribble full court, drive down the lane and dunk it over Shaq at the buzzer for the win!"

"Okay Ahmed, here's the Championship play: You get flight training in the US to fly a commerical airliner. But NOT for take-offs and landing. Ali and I will hone our hand-to-hand combat skills with box-cutters. We will meet together with three other cells in the skies over America on 9/11. Only one group must succeed to win. If we lose, we go down fighting."

You're right. Even though crazier things have REALLY happened. Let's not TRY.

[Zipporah]

"Employers will have the right/obligation to ask for their "documents"".. Employers are required by law to do that now.. The I-9..

"we know who they are and where they are.".. by what means? After 3 years, how will they be repatrioted? ..Their repatriotion will not be able to be enforced as politicians say that illegals can't 'deported' now..are they to return of their own volition?

[pollywog]

That's okay...just sing to yourself in the corner there.

quite frankly, it makes a LOT of sense and is the truth, whether or not you want to admit it. My husband and I have been foster parents for over 30 years. We know first hand how the illegals can take over a entire system. It is NOT RIGHT.......plain ol not right!!!

[Cultural Jihad]

There you go. You were a moment ago going to throw your vote away to a group you supposedly knew nothing at all about. Maybe your understanding of President Bush's plan to end the illegal immigration problem and your understanding of his motivation for it are as equally flawed as your understanding of what the Libertarian Party stands for.

This is about "hemispheric integration", immigration is just one aspect of it. The FTAA is what needs to be stopped. If the FTAA goes through America is done.

How do you seal a porous border like that? Put up electric fences??? -- Fine with me.

---

NOT give them amnesty but documenting them in effect (putting them on guest visa programs) is documenting.
--Kind of like H1B and L1 visa`s ? That worked out real well for the Tech Industry !! What, 500,000 people lost their high paying jobs !!! Great !! Lets do it again !!

---

Dangerous or criminals go home. I think this has to be enforced more at the state level. -- If they would allow the states to do it. Great, I am for it. But I don`t think this is in the Bush proposal.

---

it is up to us to elect more conservative judges who will enforce CURRENT Laws. -- Great again ,if we could elect Federal Judges. Which we cannot at this time.

---

INS is responsible for enforcing immigration and arent they trying to send back thousands of illegals who try to come here. -- So far, under the Bush administration, he has done a bang up job here !! ( sarcasm ). Tell me, this new proposal does what to stop the illegals from coming into this country?

---

As Bush himself said, congress has to write the legislation for this --Pres. Bush could seal our borders with a Presidential order ! He won`t and never will.

[GunnyB]

Exactly Right! My major problem with this new and disastrous plan of President Bush is that NO attempt is being made (at least it has not been officially discussed) to stem the tide of illegals into this country. I could support a documentation program if the borders where sealed. Failing that, as Bill O'Reilly said this evening, "If I'm in Peru and hear about this, I'm heading north tomorrow." While I don't agree with Bill much lately, he is correct in this regard. Announcing such a plan, without securing our borders, will result in a tidal wave of illegals coming into our country.

[Zipporah]

Are you saying that illegal immigration will spare social security?

[ArneFufkin]

Baseball?

Manager to guys struggling against Randy Johnson or Pedro Martinez: "Let's turn it up gang, time to go up to the plate and start seeing their pitches and hitting the ball hard out of the park."

Track?

"I think you're going to need to run faster than Michael Johnson."

Chess?

"If I were you, first thing I'd do is grab Kasparov's king."

If sealing the border from illegal crossing and locating and processing 12 million trepassing foreign nationals was easy, we wouldn't need any of this other crap.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Yes I am.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Legal immigration will.

[Zipporah]

And may I ask where you get that idea when Bush has proposed that illegals be able to collect social security in their home country~rather sounds like a way to break the 'bank' (which I might add is already 'broken'? ..

[JoJo Gunn]

"So they will simply sit on the sidelines, complain and be irrelevent to the process."

I'm quite sure there are plenty of us that will be relevant come November.

I'd like to call your attention to a thread titled Petitions, Phone Calls, Faxes, and FedExes Making a Difference for Conservative Values:

You might think to yourself that an e-mail is a waste of time. And if that's all that we ever did, you might be right. But when we follow up our e-mails with petitions, phone calls, faxes, FedEx's etc. -- we get leaders' attention in major ways. In fact, this year, we had to have a conference call with the Chief Information Officer at the U.S. House of Representatives... because your faxes to Congress were tying up all of their phone lines, and basically "melting down" their whole communication structure! You think they don't REMEMBER those kinds of things happening... and want to avoid "disrupting the masses" in the future? You BET they do!

From now on, I will definitely be sending lots of FAXES & making PHONE CALLS! Click HERE to send a FREE FAX to congress. This is not a shotgun URL. You have to type in the actual fax# and your message.

If you don't have your congresscritter's numbers handy, Click HERE and look 'em up. Let's keep those phone lines jammed up like Al Bundy's plumbing. If everybody will send one, we'll get this immigration boondoggle the congressional attention it really deserves!

[BradyLS]

If sealing the border from illegal crossing and locating and processing 12 million trepassing foreign nationals was easy, we wouldn't need any of this other crap.

The population of Iraq is 22,675,617.

If the US Army can hold that country down (among others), why can't we use all resources of government here at home to keep our own country secure?

[Uncle Jaque]

Well, I don't know if Bush deserves all the blame for the liberal judges who rule by judicial fiat, bypassing both the constitution and the will of the People in the process...

But I didn't notice him taking the initiative to make a few common-sense Federal Judicial appointments over the Commiecrat fillibuster during the recent Congressional recess... did you?

Nor have I seen him do much to bust said fillibuster, what with the "new tone" and "kinder and gentler" and all that blather. Just bend over and grab the ankles, every time Tommy Daschle, Hillary or Teddy K. wander by.

I've been trying to defend our President against all of my liberal friends (and yes, I do have a few) assertions that he is a "dummy" and an "idiot" for these past 3 years or so...
but now I'm beginning to wonder if they might have been on to something.

GWB has been so brilliant in his forign policy and prosecution of the War on Terrorism - how can he turn around and be such a drooler on domestic issues?

I don't get it. I really don't.

[sfRummygirl]

Oh...I was ad before, but now I am even sadder after reading this post. A bold stance?
You must be a Sean Hannity type person.
