House Homeland Security Chairman Peter King (R-L.I.) said he'd fight President Bush's plan to give illegal aliens a path to citizenship........
Bush will propose sending National Guardsmen to guard the Mexican border and giving a chance at citizenship for millions here illegally when he speaks to the nation at 8 p.m. tomorrow.........
"I will oppose any legislation that allows illegal immigrants to stay in the country............that's amnesty, and it's a magnet for more illegal aliens," said King.
"I give the president credit for proposing using the military - and he's the first president to do it - but citizenship for illegals is still amnesty"...........

I see Peter King is back on track after his stumble on the Dubai Ports thing (I think he was convinced by his longshoremen constituency to oppose that). I've liked King since his post-Katrina comments that the media was part of the problem in New Orleans.
Both The GOP and The Democrats are afraid of Backlash at the polls by Legal Hispanics. It's all about voting. They think that amnesty will make them eventually legal which means more votes for them. For the Democrats and Republicans in Congress its like one big Huge competition for the Hispanic vote. They don't care about the rest of the American voters. They disgust me.
Peter King is right on target for a change. It's pathetic that the Congressional response to the immigration outrage is to make the immigrants legal. They don't get it.
.....one thing they learned while picking lettuce, how to hold the system hostage for themselves.......
A politican will happily assume the Hyphenate-Fellate position if he thinks there's campaign bucks and votes involved.
Maybe so but these people vote liberal so that doesn't make any sense.
Good for King! Besides they don't deserve amnnesty all they want it for is so they can get even more welfare benefits and not worry about it being pulled from under them.
They get housing, SSI, Food, Utilities all for free and amnesty is their insurance policy to be able to keep it. They do not want to assimilate, they hate Americans, they hate Capitalism and yet the WhiteHouse insists on rewarding them.
Simple Proposal:
President Bush publicly asks Monday for 1,000 volunteers from each state National Guard.
Federalize the 50,000 troops, and put them on the border before next weekend.
GOP wins in November, in a landslide.
I agree with you 100%. In the end the illegals will win,we will lose. It's all about who's going to wind up with their votes. It's a shame.
For me and for all I know, this simply will not fly. The National Guard on our border is a temporary solution at best. If the President doesn't speak of a permanent security system on our southern border that includes permanent physical barriers (walls and fences, complete with all the security devices available through modern technology), we will know he is not serious about a permanent solution, and, Mr. President, don't even speak to me about amnesty for immigration law breakers. Those who break our laws must not be rewarded for their criminality.
Do you think he will actually do it? It would be great if he did,but ya gotta watch what you do to those illegals.....ya gotta fight for those votes! Everybody in the senate and congress is too concerned about THEIR (meaning illegals) needs but what about OURS? That's why I don't think anything will be done about this problem.
Not just NO, but HELL NO to Amnesty.
We need to send a message to ALL Republican incumbent Senators and Congresscritters. Vote for amnesty, and conservatives will STAY HOME OR VOTE THIRD PARTY IN NOVEMBER. I won't be voting for any amnesty-supporting RINOs in November. Illegal immigration and border security is my #1 issue when voting.
It will never happen. An action like this will inhibit the implementation of uniting all of the Americas, a'la the EU.
(Sounds of dry heaving in the background)
Bush is trying to turn the "shining city on the hill" into just another taco hut in the barrio
Time to clean house, pass me the broom.
Bush sends the National Guard home in December.
Are people so stupid that they will fall for this ruse?
do you think it ever occurred to D.C. that Americans don't want to live in a mexican barrio?
I know of quite a few who split the GOP over illegals. Most of them went to the Constitution Party.
Actually King is just keeping up with his "Me too" Democrat Lite behavior. Pretend to be against Illegals but offer up NO ideas what to do about the problem. Seems the Freeper Perpetual Whiners still have NOT grasp reality. DOING NOTHING means the Illegals win and NOTHING changes. We need some change not this bitch about everything while doing NOTHING Democrat lite behavior.
