It is the THE issue to those of us in the border states. Our schools here are overrun with illegal aliens who get free lunches and will get financial aid for college while I will have to pay for my daughter through the nose.
I just have to disagree. I believe it was Tancredo's stand on this issue that caused the President and others to re-think this issue. Remember when it was "guest worker" program and people on this site went ballistic? Now we are at the "enforcement" stage. Quite a shift, I think. Tancredo has been consistent all along on this, and I believe most conservatives stand with him. He is not for the dims.
(I was behind the prime minister ;^)
Per your reply #121, LOL! Very true.
ROFLMAO. You can't even find an offshore article to back up your OWN statement:
""I believe a guest worker program will help us rid the society and the border of these coyotes, who smuggle people in the back of 18-wheelers," Bush said. "
See what I mean; you have to LIE to try to make your point.
You're quite welcome.
The issue that Tancredo brought up was a personal attack on the President's integrity.
It was not an attack on his policies, which is where one should attack if they don't agree.
The President may not be perfect, (who is), but to question this President's integrity is disingenuous.
This President has integrity.
I may not agree with all his policies but I will not impune his integrity by saying I don't trust his word once he has given it.
After decades of "wink and a nod" and "catch and release" border enforcement I don't trust the federal government on border enforcement either.
That's why millions of Americans want a couple years of demonstrated secured borders before we talk about a guest worker or citizenship plan.
Read the article; it says nothing of the sort -- and proves Bush is for a workers' program!
And what's his name, oops I forgot you only know him by his backside.(sorry couldn't resist).
How have I lied? Hasn't the President called repeatedly for "comprehensive" reform that would institute a guest worker program that would include a significant number of illegal aliens?
That is an `off-shore article', Howlin.
How am I lying? The president is following Fox in the photo, as I said.
You always manage to leave out the parts that make your argument look ridiculous; like the part where they have to LEAVE the country.
And yes, we NEED a guest workers program.
`chuckleheads'
As things stand, don't they have to leave the country now?
Oh, you're simpleminded, I see. You can't even keep up with what YOU said, so my words are wasted on you.
Thank God for that!
I ain't going to argue that point with you since you have much personal experience in the field of being a chucklehaed.
Bush and GOP ratings are looking way too strong for comfort no the Left so they are uncorking this stuff again to try to drain GOP votes into the couch, hoping voters will sit there instead.
Ain't gonna work. The GOP ratings are surging and erasing many of the projected losses.
Bump!
