So, how did we get from needing a “Guest Worker” solution to what our Presidente and most of Congress are now proposing??? These guys are truly giving away the Farm, all in the hopes that these new residents will get a driver’s license and sign up to vote (because no one will bother to check out citizenship). Then there are the Socialists in Congress who are actively working towards making the USA just another “member” state. Nothing would make them happier than to take away everything that makes this country Numero Uno - we’re just so arrogant, y’know....

As for anyone who would even think about another Bush as Prez (Jeb!), check out the background on his wife, Columba. Jeb met her while on some some trip to Mexico when he was in college. She says she was from a poor family and her father was a “migrant laborer.” After meeting Jeb, she chucked her life in Mexico and took off for Texas. Was she in the country legally when she married Jeb? No one seems to ask those questions and actually get answers. Recently, Jeb & Columba issued a public statement about how “hurtful” all this anti-immigrant talk is. That’s ridiculous seeing how none of this is about legal immigration -— just the lawbreakers need be offended. There has to be more to this story, and why George is so out front on this issue. Out of his own lips: “America is an idea, not a place.”

Actually you maybe closer to the truth than you think, but not in the manner in which you think - some FReepers have made a helluva case that Bush is doing this to help his nephew out - the Bush family is incredibly close and will help each other out as much as possible, similar to the Kennedys.

President Bush's daughters aren't going anywhere politically, but Jeb's son George P is doing all the right things: Graduated from Rice, got his J.D. from Texas (college wise he's head and shoulders above his uncle), he's practiced law, he's working in real estate, he's done all the right volunteer work, He's criticized the U.S. Border Patrol for some of their methods against illegal immigrants, he's joined the United States Naval Reserve a few months ago. This is a young man that has all of the connections and money of his family, and that appears to be "guided" down a career path that will put him in some kind of public office. If he happens to have an uncle who was President who made life easier on the illegals, with his mother's Mexican background....
