"We cannot fully secure the border..."

ESTABLISH A LEGAL, PATH FOR FOREIGN WORKERS ON A TEMPORARY BASIS!!!

Something has to be terribly wrong with someone who smiles all the time, like Madam Nancy does... she seems to be on some sort of medication...

As much as I dislike Pelosi, I'll admit that she usually displays excellent taste in clothing. Her husband buys them for her. I am not kidding

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Healthcare savings accounts are FANTASTIC!!!!

[Lil'freeper]

Doubling the Border Patrol. Hmmm. It's a start.

Tancredo looks stuned!

[LdSentinal]

Pelosi has a husband?

[RocketMan1]

If the House Madam doesn't quit blinking, she's going to run off customers.

If they continue to weekly stretching of her scalp, the blinking will worsen!

[jongaltsr]

Just what I was afraid of.
Bush (President Bush) is becoming a BIG GOVERNMENT MAN. More Handouts for Health Insurance and BIG GOVERNMENT control to make the Tax Code even more complex.

"I think he wants to take her hunting."

Let's hope she accepts the offer.

"Yet even with all these steps, we cannot fully secure the border unless we take pressure off the border – and that requires a temporary worker program. We should establish a legal and orderly path for foreign workers to enter our country to work on a temporary basis. As a result, they won’t have to try to sneak in, and that will leave border agents free to chase down drug smugglers, and criminals, and terrorists. /applause/ We'll enforce our immigration laws at the worksite, and give employers the tools to verify the legal status of their workers, so there is no excuse left for violating the law. /applause/ We need to uphold the great tradition of the melting pot that welcomes and assimilates new arrivals. /applause/ And we need to resolve the status of the illegal immigrants who are already in our country – without animosity and without amnesty."

[Miss Didi]

I'm dying. Lurch stands and then belches! Must have eaten some bad Grey Poupon.
