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.

OK, I have been as critical as anyone regarding the Bush Administration policies on border enforcement and illegal immigration, but I will say that I like what I'm hearing, the President has stated that he is against amnesty, and he is seeking (what is going to be the key phrase in the days to come) "a rational middle ground" between amnesty and mass deportations.

What President Bush is proposing sounds reasonable and sound, and he has my support for now.

But as President Reagan said, and it applies to the implementation of ANY government policy (as well as the old Soviet Union), "Trust, but Verify".

I will trust President Bush on this, but I want to see verification and I believe even he would say that such a sentiment is more than reasonable.

This 'card' thing is just like Clinton did. Remember the healthcare attepmted takeover.

More and more, I am very suspicious of why the Bush-Clintons are so tight.

Having a copy of Compromised staring at me in my bookshelf, I am always wondering if, after almost 20 years (yes, 20 YEARS!) of a Bush or Clinton in the White House, its time for some new blood.

Hell, IMHO, the Arm-Chair Quarterback Game needs to have a dictionary in the rule book.. Many folks don't even know the legal definition of Amnesty. For some, anything less than concentration camps or a Bataan death march as amnesty...

Actually, he is doing pretty well. He needs to walk a middle road. He is a President of a very large country with a lot of people who have varied opinions on this issue.

Middle of the road is all we wanted/expected from Republican Government.

I hear Greta is going to be at the San Diego border tonight.

Did some white college girl go missing around there?

You forgot to mention how many brutal rape-murders have been committed by illegal aliens in the past five years. It is truly disgusting.

That's a large part of my outrage over this issue. Our "overlords" don't really need to worry about that ugly little angle.

How about the methedrine, cocaine, heroin, Mexico pumps in here. If our border was controlled for the last decade this would have been greatly reduced

I agree with you, but half the posts on this thread are by a bunch of racist jerks.

Same old stuff.

There is little that can be done since Bush is a lame duck.

Get used to sharing the results of your efforts with Mexico's poor.

The candidate's stance on illegal immigration needs to be known before voting.

Bush is a loser and so are all Americans.

Bye ... bye Miss American dream. Citizens drove their Chevy to the levee and got their clock cleaned!

Good night Mrs. Calabash ... where ever you are.

He is just setting it up so Bush P. can win the White House after 20 years of Dems holding it.
