BUSH SET FOR IMMIGRATION SPEECH WHITE HOUSE President Bush is getting set for a prime-time speech on immigration tomorrow night. Aides note the 8 p-m, Eastern Time, speech will be the president's first from the Oval Office that does not involve Iraq and the war on terrorism. And they say that reflects Bush's "passion" on immigration. He's speaking as the Senate is poised to clear a compromise measure including his idea for a guest worker program. However, a rival House bill is limited to a border crackdown, and meshing the two won't be easy. Stand Up For America !

"We have room for but one flag, the American flag...
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...
And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Three smart Dems!

[nicmarlo]

Thanks, am going to read that now.

These people aren't listening to us. They have made up their minds and they are going to do whatever is "on their agenda." screw them.

no crime seems more heinous than that of treason

Benedict Arnold sought to betray his country into the hands of its enemy, and to do this he must first betray the confidence of the one unswerving friend who had ever trusted him, -- the commander in chief. Up to this time in the history of our country, his crime is one of the blackest. Now, it is the betrayal of our country by the very leaders who represent the "citizens" of this country.

FAIR Says Bill Senate Bill Exposes Deep Flaws In Immigration Policy Making

Washington, DC—The Federation for American Immigration Reform issued the following statement in the anticipation of the passage of the Senate immigration bill:

The Senate today passed a "comprehensive immigration reform" bill that is neither comprehensive nor in any sense a true reform. This legislation -- were it enacted into law -- throws into question the legitimacy of the entire immigration system in the United States, and its formulation exposes deep flaws in the very process how immigration laws are made in this country.

The approved bill would send the U.S. population skyrocketing towards a billion people by the close of the century -- with no analysis done of the impacts of this mass population explosion on housing, congestion, overcrowding, education, the environment and the overall quality of life. Local communities have not been consulted, and virtually no preparation has been undertaken to provide for the enormous burdens this legislation would entail. It reflects the degree to which the Senate is completely out of touch with the average American.

Nor does the bill take any serious steps that would improve immigration enforcement -- especially in the interior. It merely continues a cycle of rewarding lawbreakers and clothing a loss of border control with the patina of legality. Rather than face the reality of today's immigration crisis, the Senate has enacted a terrible bill that once again puts the interests of the American people last. The bill's cost is staggering, the administrative burdens crushing and the consequences for the cohesion of the future American nation -- no longer bound by a common destiny of the rule of law -- are severe. FAIR will be stridently opposing any compromise with the House on this irresponsible and arrogant bit of legislating.

I agree they have surpassed violation of their oath!

Piper, I've been trying to find something which I think you posted about the Border Patrol. Where was it posted about the 3,000 being switched every couple of weeks and then brand new ones brought in, trained for a week, and then working for two, then brand new ones brought in, trained for another week, then working for two, never leaving any experienced Border Patrol behind...just continued brand new replacements brought in?

[nicmarlo]

I mean National Guard, not Border Patrol, sorry.

[calcowgirl]

It seems some were way ahead of me, for sure.
