BUSH: WE CAN'T BOOT 11M ILLEGALS

NY Post ^ | 5/15/06

"Jobs Americans won't do" is not a slur. It's a statement of fact once you add the implicit, "without artificial minimum wage levels, which, of course, will work to render these jobs nonexistent."

[uptoolate]

If we can't deport them, (but I say we should try to as many as we can), then the rest should be jailed for breaking the law. Arizona Joe is on the right track. 20 cent bologna sands per meal, live in tents, pink undies, and chain gangs. Suddenly staying in Mexico wouldn't be a bad thing.

[zerosix]

Nope, you cannot boot 11M Illegals but someone really interested in enforcing the U.S. Constitution would being immediately enforcing border security and charging business owners, managers and HR departments with breaking U.S. Laws by hiring illegals, enforce Social Security and IRS officials immediately turn over to Justice Department, records of fraudulent SS and tax info to charge illegals using them with crimes and demand immediate deportation, no path to deportation "hearings" 6 months in the future.

Try giving a speech with those things in it, Mr. President and your poll numbers would go through the roof.

[b4its2late]

I don't care how long it takes to boot them. Start booting them! If you give them amnesty, twice as many or more will follow as family members. They're here illegally. He's really ticking me off!

[Dane]

How long will that slur keep bouncing around?

How can it be a slur, when it's true.

You are an American citizen and I don't see you applying to be a vegetable pciker.

Bush:

"creating a rational system for workers to come into our country and to do jobs Americans won't do."


this whole "won't do" argument is flawed and worthy of contempt

Americans won't do these jobs because aliens are doing them for
pennies and a bag of fruit...Americans won't do them for that.........

if there's no border, there's no country

not that there's going to be anything wrong with that in the long run
but in the short run it's cowardly and dishonest

Thank you. I have said that numerous times. They are lowering the standard of living and what is considered acceptable standard of living.

However, you have those who worship at the altar of the dollar and that is all that matters to them. They are a bunch of greedy pigs who would sell their mother for a dollar if they could.

This scamnesty is only going to invite millions more here that makes the current problem look like an apetitizer.

I've supported the President since before he was elected. I voted for him twice. I've donated money to both his campaigns, and to the Republican Party. At this moment, I have two pictures of Jorge Arbusto and his wife in my study, sent to me as "thank you" letters for my donations. My wife and I actively worked in our most recent US Senate election for the Republican candidate.

So my remarks are not motivated by hate, immaturity or anything else you project on it.

I'm like many more people than you realize; I will have a President who will defend this country, period. If he won't defend this country and tries to put up window dressing instead, I will stop supporting him. End of story.

You're the one stooping to insults on this thread, not me or anyone else.

[B Knotts]

Yes, I agree that employer sanctions must be part of the equation, as well as a foolproof (or nearly so) means of pre-employment status screening. Right now, it's almost impossible for an employer to check on someone's status before they're hired if they provide forged documents.

[mel]

I agree, he is shooting himself in the foot, sending our guys to Iraq to fight the enemy when he can't protect a border that has easy access for enemy to cross. Rating will nosedive

[zook]

Absolutely, Dane. Nor do I see the "poor & unemployed" of the northeast and midwest moving out west to pick lettuce.

[expatguy]

So it is all a numbers game - Just what I said.

The Global Rise of Ochlocracy

[brytlea]

" The little-noticed provisions are part of legislation co-sponsored by Republican Sens. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and Mel Martinez of Florida, which overcame some early stumbles and now has bipartisan support in the Senate.

I would like to apologize right now for having voted for this guy. I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

[OKSooner]

Ping.

[areafiftyone]

I would say its half and half. I know alot of legal hispanics who I work with who sympathize with the illegals and want them to have citizenship. The others are angry that they got here illgally and are able to stay here.

[Little Ray]

Exactly!

How many of us have documents that "prove" we're not illegal aliens. I can't find a notarized copy of my birth certificate or my passport. I'd have to order one... Until I order it, how do I prove I'm legal?

[Ron H.]

OK let's boot Bush!

No argument here but I'd rather deport him to Mexico.

[TomGuy]

Sounds like Tony Snow either didn't tell him how we feel... or he got blown-off after telling him.

Snow is, and always has been, right in line with the Administration on this issue. Snow decried building a wall, etc., and has advocated open borders.

[Mayflower Sister]

So, has he even tried?

Don't tell us you can't until you've tried to... Jorge.

[Vinomori]

OKSooner,

I feel the same way. Precisely. I am a supporter of Bush, but that's in the past. He is facilitating an invasion.
