BUSH: WE CAN'T BOOT 11M ILLEGALS
NY Post ^ | 5/15/06

Posted on 05/15/2006 5:48:16 AM PDT by areafiftyone

May 15, 2006 -- WASHINGTON - In his live, nationally televised address tonight, President Bush will tell Americans that it's impossible to deport the estimated 11 million illegal aliens living here.

"We must reject amnesty, but recognize that it is not realistic to round up millions of people and send them home," said White House spokeswoman Maria Tamburri in a preview of Bush's speech.

She said Bush plans to spell out his vision for sealing the border, enforcing the law, and "creating a rational system for workers to come into our country and to do jobs Americans won't do." Bush plans to visit the U.S.-Mexican border this week, and will dispatch his Cabinet to help sell the immigration plan.

The Senate plans to return to the contentious issue this week now that Republicans and Democrats have a deal to plow through controversial amendments. But the House and Senate are far apart on whether to put illegals on a path to citizenship.

Tamburri said Bush would call for "better equipment, increased funding, and advanced technology" to secure the border.

She didn't confirm press reports that Bush wants to expand deployments of National Guard Troops to step up border enforcement. Some Guard troops are already deployed in Arizona and New Mexico, but Bush is considering a big increase.

White House National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley said that enforcement was the Border Patrol's job - but then asked whether they needed help from the Guard on an "interim basis."

"This is not about militarizing the border," he said. The president is looking to do everything he can to secure the border. It's what the American people want."

Also what do have against a guy named Jose picking asparagus?

Why are you against an italian named Tancredo trying to legislate an immigration policy that puts Americans first? Do you hate WOPs and guineas? Why do you ignore his 100% "Best and Brightest" rating from the American Conservative Union and the fact that he is a conservative Republican? Why all the "ethnic animus"?

Come on down and talk to residents of the border area. It'll be an eye opening experience.

I never said there wasn't a problem on the border

I just said .. read up on the laws concerning the military

"Also what do have against a guy named Jose picking asparagus?"

Is he here as a legal immigrant who has sworn allegiance to the USA and her rule of law? Or is he a person who would rather flee his own country than fight to make it better and has he broken the law of the USA and taken a job off, the roles, to support some greedy businesses who themselves don't feel compelled to uphold the rule of law? Is he selling drugs? Is he on wealfare? Is he requiring the USA taxpaying citizen to educate his children? Is he clogging up our hospitals and getting care that I myself cannot get?

While you may be correct, I find it interesting that I never seem to actually talk to those moderate people. Some of the most strident and angry people on this issue (that I personally know) are my liberal democrat friends.

Real intelligent answer. I suppose you have the ultimate solution to rid a group of people 4 times the size of LA?

The employer thing may work to an extent but even then you've got to catch them first and the future even without a job here is better in most cases than with a job there.

"Anti-immigrant Talk Radio"


That is the new catch-phrase columnists (and some politicians) are using to castigate radio hosts who are against the Illegal Invasion.

I live near the Mexican border and I see the Border Patrol picking up border intruders by the dozens. They process them quickly and bus them back to the border. There is no court hearing. None.

That's for people attempting to cross the border who are caught, not people who are already inland.

1986? Pls explain. (It's Monday, and my brain isn't working in full throttle yet).

They said drones MAY be deployed along the border. Great! But how many? The reports stated the NG's primary job would be to take up the paperwork positions so more border patrolmen can be freed up. But the border patrols still will be so greatly understaffed that illegals will, for the most part, walk right through.

BTW, you do know that your hero tancredo has never worked in a wealth producing private business, he has worked the majority of his career in the public sector(like most democrats do).

Why do you keep saying that like it matters? Are you saying that Tom Tancredo's votes are affected in some way by his career choices? If it was negatively affected, then he would not have earned a 100% "Best and Brightest" rating from the American Conservative Union. Your argument is completely baseless and you wouldn't look so stupid if you would drop it.

The only poll that matters is in November. I am afraid that the republicans may be in for a nasty surprise. We'll see.

You mean that angry voters will vote against Tom Tancredo?

Are you as sick and tired as I am of having our congress and president care more about the illegal alliens than they do us? How long do you think it'll take them to realize that illegals (allegedly) can't vote? Why am I getting the feeling that the next election will be flooded with illegals who vote, are contested, but nothing will be done about it?

That's for people attempting to cross the border who are caught, not people who are already inland.

The border is a few miles south of here. They round them up and haul them back to border when they're caught hundreds of miles north of it. I know where the border is. These people are not caught "attempting to cross the border" - they've alread crossed it and are miles inland.

Also, I was not aware that our federal laws changed from state to state.

Next excuse?

Tonight on the Live Thread we'll see attacks on the President that will exceed anything directed at Clinton, Kerry, Gore or any other 'Rat. They'll need a double shift of Mods tonight --

snort

We'll need the Mod squad.
