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.

NUTS! JUST NUTS! You guys want him to come down soooooooo hard on the illegals that we're going to lose the Latino vote to the RATS. Yea, We'll be bottomfeeders again real soon.... Let's get ready to welcome Hillary in 08

[concerned about politics]

If he's saying he's going to seal the border as tight as area 51, I'll go along with it.
The American government threatens to shoot American citizens for crossing their boarder!

The anchor baby thing really is a big issue

Especially when they hit 18 and can start importing the rest of their family. We will be swamped even more!

I don't like being told untruths. When the President tells me that current illegals are the same as previous immigrants I call BS. They don't come for freedom and most certainly do not come to become an American.

[Severa]

A question though (two actually):

1) How long would it take to build a wall that would satisfy those who want a wall?

and

2) What do we do with the illegals in our country while this wall is being built?

Not bashing anyone, I just want to understand all sides of this issue.

[processing please hold]

This tear jerking story is making me gag!

That made me angry too. Why didn't he choose an illegal alien child rapist to talk about?

"You should take you and your "ancestors" and get back on the Mayflower and float away to somewhere else."

Watch it...

At least he didn't look at his wristwatch while meting out this rhetorical toughness. I'm sure Fox will agree this was a good performance. Wow, 6000 on the Border! Unless they're needed for a hurricane.

[Drammach]

National ID card?

ROFLMAO !!!!

No way, Jose..

[TomGuy]

Even Brit's panel is mostly defeatest ---- there are too many of them here so we can't do anything about it.

[Al Qaeda is taking note -- that's how they can take over eventually, too.]

[JeffAtlanta]

Time FReepers quit wining, and started asking "how can we help"!

Freepers are trying to help by not being enablers.

[Wormwood]

You are the racist loser on the board. You should take you and your "ancestors" and get back on the Mayflower and float away to somewhere else. You are disgusting.

[ATCNavyRetiree]

Sorry...I missed it.

[Mears]

Now what?

I guess it's adios Anglos!

[Frank_2001]

I don't know; guess we just have to wait-they're picking tomatoes today, but tomorrow they might just own the farm!/s

Post repost and post again and again and again

President Bush is outstanding tonight.

[oceanview]

by asking the House to try and stop this. while there may be some good concepts, alot of it is window dressing to get the core proposals through - which will dramatically increase the total number of persons who can stay/come, with a whole host of new status defintions. the Heritage foundation breakdown of what's actually in the bill is shocking.

My grandparents immigrated from Russia in 1911. They crossed all the "T's" and dotted the "i's" and became citizens. My grandfather could speak Russian, German, Spanish and English, but he only spoke English as that was what Americans spoke.
