I searched but did not see a thread already open for tonights speech. I think this is the most important speech the President will probably make for the remainder of his term.

Mod Note:
This could turn into a whack-a-troll thread. All immigration trolls that would like to participate should post here. It'll be interesting to see if we mods can whack the trolls faster than they can sign up new accounts.

Shaking head........

[SouthTexas]

thank you.

To everyone against a border fence I ask; why not try it? It's a releatively small investment, and if it doesn't work it can be removed.

THe Guard actually does alot of the stuff that Bush is talking about and have done it for decades.

[clintonh8r]

He just gave a sop to his buddy Vicente, whose soul I'm sure he's looked into.....

Arrest those within our borders darn it.

"What is the matter with having real fences? We built a 23 mile long fence below San Diego on the border. It has worked. A virtual fence stops no one. It just alerts the BP that people are coming in. The BP agents must then apprehend the people coming in. They must be detained and processed legally. That takes time and money. If they can't get in here in the first place, you don't need detention centers, judges, or exposing BP agents to possible injury in the apprehension process."

Good points. You should post and repost them.

High tech fences

[rodeocowboy]

The step he's outlined is more of the same! Nothing new here!

[Drammach]

It's "urgent" to talk about it..

This is an election year...
It's "urgent" to get those votes..

[Dane]

Also, demographic data indicates about 50% of our population stems from the original, pre-Revolutionary War settlers

And they sprung up from the ground in the original 13 colonies, correct?

You guys just get more ridiculous with each post.

Mexico is not our friend.

[Spiff]

"Increase federal funding for local and state law enforcement to help Border Patrol"

Will provide training. Part of our strategy to secure our borders.

Good stuff.

"Every illegal crossing southern border to be sent home."

Good stuff again.

[Wormwood]

N. Guard for just one year--then to be reduced.

Oh, I'm sure they'll increase the Guard presence around August-October 2008.

[gas_dr]

Every illegal immigrant must be sent back home...OK, that is a first

[Snoopers-868th]

Secure does not equal just watching.

Gonna take an infra red picture and watch 'em!

With all due respect, the President can say and do everything that people attacking him here on FR want, and certain folks (liberal trolls) will call him a liar and not be satisfied. Sad thing is allot of old timer FR people are believing the lies of these trolls, mostly new members within the last few years. Right now he is only repeating what he has already said and done. It is just that people aren't listening or are listening to the lies of others with their own agenda.
