Yeah...that's right...I am the one claiming that Mexafornia is going to exist.
I am the one lacking common sense in thinking that maybe, just maybe, Bush hasnt advocated amnesty...do a little research...that is a wild claim, and a perpetuated myth on these threads by those looking to bash the administration on immigration. That maybe, DHS has increased funding to border control...that maybe Bush has made overtures to Vicente Fox, that there are things being done.
But, my point, the current situation is being fueled by political opportunists with little or no real solution to the problem (or worse wild hair brained ideas), only an agenda to remove the Republican leadership...sick of that krap.
I could go on...but my blood pressure can't take the intellectually dishonest people who routinely post on the threads about "doomsday" illegal immigration woes.
"I am the one lacking common sense in thinking that maybe, just maybe, Bush hasnt advocated amnesty"
Yes, you are correct.You are lacking common sense.
Press 1 for English.
A lot of folks in the illegal camp feel that way. And Kosovo shows what happens when separatist passions are coupled with massive population growth of the same demographic.

No, but history shows what he is promoting amounts to a de facto amnesty.

Not nearly enough in a post-911 world.

Sorry, but most folks I see on my side would like nothing more than for Bush to do his job in securing the border. They have come to this point because of Bush's actions, not because of some ulterior agenda. And Bush could arrest this overnight by dropping his guest worker program and coming out soundly behind the House bill.
But what has he done? Caucaused with Senate Dems and RINOs while excluding Senate conservatives.

As you disparage the motives of those against illegal immigration? Spare me the righteous indignation.
Bush hasnt advocated amnesty...do a little research
We have and your argument doesn't stand up. "Family valuse don't stop at the border" remember that one.
That maybe, DHS has increased funding to border control
Surely you jest, The President has refused to spend the money made available for new border patrol. I will give him a little credit for wanting to put monitoring devices on the border so we can watch the illegals jump the border. He is a little shady on what happens after we watch them come accross. Once the get here they must be given a hearing before a judge, an infinitismal number actually show up, but they don't leave either.
