BUSH CHIDES FELLOW REPUBS FOR OPPOSING HIS FLAKEY AMNESTY DEAL
When your plumbing springs a leak, the first thing anyone with an IQ higher than a clam does is turn off the water—that’s why it’s so hard for our good citizens to understand why President Bush doesn’t secure our borders and ports first instead of submitting promises and a repeat of the failed 1986 amnesty.
The amnesty deal Bush negotiated with Democrats and ‘open border’ Republicans will turn the U.S. into another Venezuela. Consider that the number of illegal aliens within our shores is not precisely known; most estimates range anywhere from 12 to 20 million. Unfortunately these are only ‘guesstimates’ no one actually knows how many there are. Some claim it could be 30 million or higher. If each amnestied illegal only brings in four relatives, our population will increase anywhere from 48 to 120 million and perhaps more.
Bush’s open ended amnesty welcomes anyone who can provide a piece of paper that they arrived in the U.S. before 1 January. People from all over the world will be knocking on our door and if no one answers they will sneak in. There is no limit on the number of illegal aliens who will be amnestied nor are there severe penalties for fraud.
Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on me! Only a fool repeats his mistakes but President Bush and Senators Kennedy and McCain are leading the charge to repeat the mistakes of the 1986 amnesty. The 1986 bill directly led to the estimated 12-30 million illegal aliens that are within our borders today.
Lies, more lies and damned lies. Despite assurances from Senator Kennedy that the 1986 amnesty would stop illegal immigration; the 1986 bill encouraged millions to enter the country illegally in the hope of future amnesties. In 1986, voters were assured that amnesty was a one time occurrence that would never be repeated. Is it any wonder that Americans can’t trust their politicians?
So what?
Bush has been getting an ear full from conservatives on this one. Let him chide all he wants to. He is a major disappointment to Americans on the immigration issue.
Bush is going to lose whatever political juice he has left pushing the worst proposal since HillaryCare.
Hey George..isnt time for you to go home yet?
Geez...he wont be happy until he guts the USA and the GOP...
I liked him at first, but it is getting harder to defend this man.
I’d love to know where Cheney stands on this issue.
He’s been very quiet on it. A good soldier, he’ll toe the Administration line on it if he must, but his silence on it seems to convey a message in itself.
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
As a former Bushbot and rabid George Bush supporter I now see that he should have never have been elected. There is a "war on terror" but you let anyone in to the country that wants in? There is no logic at all to that.
Can anyone defend Bush anymore? When your liberal friends trash him do you fight back? I can't nor will I.
We are lost if this is the best we can do for a "leader".
I took it off last week, it was aggregating me now.
‘Bush is going to lose whatever political juice he has left pushing the worst proposal since HillaryCare.’
Yep.
‘I liked him at first, but it is getting harder to defend this man.’
Yep.
Very true. Maybe Cheney needs to take W on a hunting trip, and give him a good talking to.
I voted for you twice...
I have long supported you in the face of hostile opinion and scathing attack by your political adversaries...
I am beginning to think my unwavering support for your presidency--especially including the war on terror --
....has been a HUGE mistake...
I thought we elected a courageous, PATRIOTIC leader with a strong moral compass---
These days I fear we have only settled for the lesser of political evils...
This present immigration gig is WRONG!! WRONG!! WRONG!!
You are dividing and alienating the conservaive base that put you in office... and which also remains the best hope for your successor...
It's not about your legacy, sir...
It's about the future of the American sovereignty and her way of life....
Get real...
To bad he and the RINO’s didn’t fight for SS reform like they have about this.
One thing they don’t talk about is the fact that our population is demanding that we import food from other countries. We are reaching the point that we can no longer grow enough food to feed our own population. These people are going to put a big strain on our food supply. We are taking a big chance importing our food from others. Look at China......I buy no food from China....not taking the chance any more.
Boy it’s bad when freepers condemn him.
Every time I see a headline with him defending this pos, I regret all the campaigning I did for him in 04 and 00.
BTTT
Who are you? What happened to the republican presidential candidate I voted for? There was no way in hell I wanted Kerry running this country but why are you rushing to reach his level of incompetence? This amnesty bill you support is a real betrayal of the base that got you into office. Our social security and medicare system are already facing disaster without the additional costs of adding millions of poor from Mexico. What are you thinking?
Are you just going back to Texas after your term and pull the blanket over your head?
