***.........House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has said Congress should think about passing separate bills, one dealing with enforcement against illegal immigration and another creating a guest-worker program.....****

***.............Senior White House adviser Karl Rove has begun meeting with key lawmakers, such as GOP Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, who have introduced immigration measures..........A comprehensive proposal from Sens. Cornyn and Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., would require all illegal immigrants to leave the U.S. within five years and then apply to return either as temporary guest workers or as immigrants in the process of obtaining green cards......***

***..............[President] Bush has enlisted Republicans such as former House Majority Leader,Dick Armey of Dallas to build a lobbying machine made up of corporations and activist groups that will try to win over lawmakers when the president decides on a specific reform bill.............. Armey and others support an initiative introduced in May by a bipartisan group of lawmakers, including Sens. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., and John McCain, R-Ariz. ..... Under their proposal, illegal immigrants could apply for temporary work permits for up to six years. They could earn legal resident status by meeting several requirements, including criminal background checks and English literacy tests. ***
Wake up and smell the coffee guys. No real immigration enforcement and you will loose my vote and a lot of others.
Your core constituients will stay home in 2008(maybe a warning shot in 2006) and you will loose the election.
So be it..if we have to go thru Hillary to get it done..
The problem "is way worse than it was three or four years ago," said Michael Tones, the vice president of New Plan Excel Realty Trust, which owns a shopping center in the area. Tones said customers are frightened by the men loitering along Shepherd near 11th Street.
……………Before the center opened, many of the day laborers would drink in public. He is working to cut down on the drinking, but conceded that some workers still drink outside.
"I tell them to drink at home," he said. "I tell them: If you don't respect me, at least respect the place." …….Deras hopes to get most of the workers from the area to come to the center, but some still prefer to wait for work on nearby corners……..***
Now is the time to review what's being put on the table and add a rational voice to the debate.
Kinda makes ya wonder what these a--wipes would do if we were in a war, and the enemy was flying airpanes into big buildings, don't it?
They're trying to do something.
Look at what's being proposed.
I broke it down from the article.
Is there nothing there you can work with?
That's a wonderful idea!
Put up giant billboards bearing a likeness of Hillary's face on the border. The illegal immigrant traffic will drop precipitously. Those few who still get through will tell horrifying stories about their fellow migrants dying in puddles of their own puke at the sight.
Foolish statement. There's no comparison between the Bush family and the Clintons. After everything the Clintons have done, and you can sit there and threaten to let Hillary in with your vote solely over Bush's border policy? You think Hillary cares? You think she will help legislation that will EVER close our borders? More than just lip service?
Lets just assume you needed to vent and leave it at that.
An immigration bill is putting the cart before the horse. Border bill must come first. Seal the southern border now!
Then you like Tom DeLay's approach?
BTTT
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,
1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.
I agree. I will no longer vote for an open border president. I dont care whos running against Hillary, if they support open borders like Bush they wont get my vote. I dont care what you bleeding heart Republicans think. Nothing will change unless people stop voting for open border politicians.
Tell me what Bush has done his 2nd term thats different then what Clinton or a Democrap would have done? Bushs spends like a drunken sailor, gives money for AIDS in Africa, supports open borders, dosent let are troops fight a real war instead a PC war where are troops have to know how to handle a Kuran.
I want a president who tightens are borders, dosent spend like a democrap, and fights a real war.
"I want a president who tightens are borders, dosent spend like a democrap, and fights a real war."
The GOP better wake up many of us are fed up.
