WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration and key congressional Democrats and Republicans stepped up their efforts to sell a broad immigration compromise Thursday as lawmakers braced for a public backlash at home.

"Many Americans are rightly skeptical about immigration reform," President Bush said in a Rose Garden news conference. "This bill provides the best chance to reform our immigration system and help us make certain we know who's in our country and where they are."

>>President Bush has just hoisted his middle finger in my direction.<<

I used to think that Carter was the worst president in history. It was miserable with 20% interest rates and gas lines. But we recovered from that.

If this amnesty bill passes, I think it will be harder to dig ourselves out of the resultant mess.

I now count the days until this horse’s patoot is out of office.

Further, I no longer care if the Democrats decide to impeach the nimrod. Or why. Nor would I expend any effort whatsoever in attempting to rally support for the guy. He no longer deserves it.

I agree. President 6, Congress 4 and that’s it.

The good money calls for this to be bid down. I'll start with President 4, Congress 2. Can we get it lower? Blackbird.

Do Americans get amnesty for their crimes as well?

I’ll let you do the reading. The groundwork for the 16th amendment was done by TR, Taft although opposed to it came out in support thereof becaeuse he felt (wrongly as it turns out) that his support would so anger the TR supporters that they would vote against it. Taft knew if he opposed the proposed amendment it had no chance. Ditto Senators being popularly elected. The groundwork was laid by TR, which those that can read and take the time to study know.

The entire argument revolves around the definition of “amnesty”.

Each side thinks their definition is correct, hence the circular arguments.

For many, amnesty is any action short of immediate and complete deportation. To many, amnesty is no penalty whatsoever for wrongdoing. The immigration bill calls for something in between.

I wish we could remove the word “amnesty” completely from the argument and debate the substance of what the bill will actually mean, point by point. I think that would be more productive a discussion, instead of the “Is Not!” “Is Too!” that’s going on now.

And while we're at it how about the law that says we are to build 857 miles of double fence on the Mexican Border?

Duncan Hunter wrote that bill and is working to get the feds to obey their own law.

But Bush and the rest of the CFR backed phoneys want a North American Union between Mexico , Canada and the former USA.

That's what is really going down while we all watch Obama and Hillary get read to defeat Gulianni.

Let's get behind a real Reagan Republican before it's too late!

These CFR backed phoneys are selling us out to form the North American Union with Mexico, Canada and the former USA. They plan to have it by 2010.

While we're all watching TV.

"The President just does not apprieciate how incensed Americans are that illegal “guest workers” demonstrated in the streets against our government in a time of war. And now they want benefits? Over my dead body."

Oh yes. And they tried to remake our National Anthem in Spanish.

Those in power are controled by the CFR and it's influence

You are right they don't represent us anymore.

It's worse than you think. They want to create a North American Union with Mexico and Canada much like the EU by 2010.

That's why he's on Mount Rushmore.

Teddy was great! One of the last to rule over our Great Republic.

It's been downhill ever since.

McCain used make me think of the Manchurian Candidate. Now many others in Washington also bring to mind this image.
