"America is a nation of immigrants; legal immigration is good for America and for those who come here seeking freedom and opportunity. As Governor of a border state, I know firsthand the great richness and benefits that legal immigrants with different cultures, history and traditions bring to America. I support increasing the number of H-1B visas to help meet America's need for more high-tech workers, and I support expanding the H-2A temporary agricultural workers program so that willing workers can help meet America's labor needs. I oppose illegal immigration. The federal government must improve its enforcement of our borders."

He did improve enforcement. He sent National Guard troops to the border to do bookwork and he added 1.5 miles of fencing to the border. What's your beef? /sarc

Oh, yeah! lol
I wonder if that 1.5 miles of fence was guarded by the two border patrol officers prosecuted by W’s Justice Department. :)
I'm 'bout to email it around.
I don’t hate the Mexicans. Hell I haven’t met any here that weren’t nice to me, but I don’t want to live in Mexico. It’s not about race. If the people coming here shared my values and shared my culture 12 million/50 million/ 100 million of them would not matter.
However when 50-100 million Mexicans cross that border they are going to overwelm our society and destroy what it means to be American and replace it with what it means to be Mexican and that isn’t a good thing we can see what their culture did to their country.
If it just meant 12 million mexicans I think we as a country could absorb them with little or no harm to our society but this is a mass migration and 12 will swell to 100 million overnight.
This is exactly what happened to Rome. Millions of barbarians flooded into Rome unchecked and destroyed the city, the society, and the nation leading to a Dark Age that lasted over a 1000 years. My childrens’ childrens’ children will not see the end of the dark age that is about to destroy this country.
Why cant people listen to reason do we have such a death wish that we allow our society to crumble.
These are absolute truths:
It's not amnesty and those who call it that are bigots and xenophobes.
We have to have a "comprehensive" bill and we have to have it today.
The Minutemen are vigilantes.
It's just a cold sore.
The check's in the mail....

I notice in that article the number of illegals her was only 3 million.
Your mention of Rome reminded me of this piece. Check out the 1-8 list. I think we must be close to or at #6, heading to #7 fast with this immigration deal. I passed this along to my senator, not that he’ll deign to read it.
The Future Of A Democracy
How Long Do We Have?
About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier: “A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.”
“A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.”
“From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.”
“The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years.”
“During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. from bondage to spiritual faith;
2. from spiritual faith to great courage;
3. from courage to liberty;
4. from liberty to abundance;
5. from abundance to complacency;
6. from complacency to apathy;
7. from apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage”
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:
Number of States won by: Gore: 19; Bush: 29
Square miles of land won by: Gore: 580,000; Bush: 2,427,000
Population of count ies won by: Gore: 127 million; Bush: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Gore: 13.2; Bush: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: “In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Gore’s territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare...”
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the “complacency and apathy” phase of Professor Tyler’s definition of democracy, with some forty percen t of the nation’s population already having reached the “governmental dependency” phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal’s and they vote then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
Do you think Tony Snow can have a radio career after this gig? Personally, I don’t think so.
VOTE THIRD PARTY.....YOUR HOSED AND GET USED TO IT....VOTE THIRD PARTY....
....but when he allows the United States of America to be overrun by illiterate and basically unproductive people he has NOT protected this country
Manipulates, invites, constructs, brings into being, but not "allows". This was the Presidents intent all along. Sickening as that is to me, I am sure it is true.
Snow has blown the credibility he had, IMO. He might be able to resume it but he will have to do so catering to liberals. FWIW, I wanted to send him a FR private message, but I can’t find a “tony snow” account that is valid.....???

He also said he was against “nation building” and we all know how that turned out.
He was probably shilling for Rudy. ;-)
