Sorry George we are going to need that money and a ton more to provide for the new citizens you want. Who is going to feed, provide housing, education and medical for them?
Mr. Bush I think your priorities are misplaced.
U.S. violent crime up 2nd year in a row

“...These critics say the increase has been spurred by declines in assistance from the federal government, including more than $2 billion in cuts in Justice Department law enforcement programs since 2002....”

Bush has obviously been listening to Ken.
Well, maybe even Castro had the right idea after all...quarantine is free.
This freaking loser reminds me more of Clinton every day. All he needs is an intern.
Does this mean the World will like us again?
No border-fence for the people who elected him however...
I just don’t understand whats happened to Bush lately. I just don’t.
It's all going into the pockets of tin-pot dictators so they buy more weapons to kill their citizens anyway.
This is not the way to build a legacy Mr President, this is not the way. You will never win any love from the left, not that it matters, and in the process you will loose your most loyal supporters. And as you can tell, the erosion has already begun.
Try testing them first to see if they really have it, instead of relying on clinical symptoms that mock other diseases.
Who funds the drug cocktails for those infected in the U.S.? Has the number of those testing positive risen here? I wonder if Jesus healed those with STDs? Did they have STDs?
Ahhh, great...A “bookend” legacy plan...
Fabulous...
$30 Billion will buy a whole bunch of these!
It certainly is. It is also clearly Unconstitutional. It bears not the slightest relationship to the Common Defense and General Welfare of these United States of America. If the President wants to raise money to fight disease, poverty or what have you, overseas, he can appeal for Charitable contributions. But the revenues of the United States are not his personal playthings.
America does not exist for the world. It does not exist as a sacrificial milk cow for humanity. It must either serve its own or it loses any purpose, direction, meaning. We have to put a stop to the cloud and windborne theories of intellectually underdone graduates from Universities that completely lost their own way a few generations back, and embraced the day dreams of crack-brained Socialists pursuing fantasies of things that never were and never will be.
Have we another Yale or Harvard graduate running for President, next year? We had better look long and hard, to make sure he hasn't embraced the fantastic world of the international theorist and "do-gooder." (I put "do-gooder" in quotes, because the tragic-comic reality is that these people almost never actually accomplish something good.)

I can't agree more..... except in ...especially in sub-Saharan Africa. (which the money is really for ) gay sex has little to do with the AIDS/HIV pandemic
Simply from a humanity standpoint and especially from a geopolitical strategy, we need to try and stop this crisis from destroying literally whole generations of people.
Where death and destruction reign, the Islamic fascism surely will prosper and grow. I look at this as preemptive help
I don't like the fact it is only our money being tapped, the EU needs to step to the plate big time as well as the rich petro countries. I'm not holding my breath
The President is right here, and we should support him. Here’s why:
(1) Christians and Muslims compete for the souls of the African people, and we must fight the war against Islamofascist terrorism on all fronts. We want the African people on our side and strong enough to fight this war. Treating this epidemic and restoring health and hope to millions gives those millions a strong incentive to support us against our enemies when the time comes.
(2) People with poorly functioning immune systems can harbor and transmit bizarre or deadly diseases including tuberculosis. In a global economy, the health of our people and Americans abroad (including diplomats and troops) depends upon the health of others whom they contact.
(3) Although abhorrent, gay sex is not the “root cause” of human immunodeficiency virus. That virus spreads in five ways:
(a) sexual intercourse with an infected person (including but not limited to sodomy);
(b) contaminated needles (usually intravenous illegal drugs in this country but not uncommon at medical facilities in the Third World);
(c) birth to or lactation from an infected mother (the infected can bear absolutely no blame for this route of transmission very common in sub-Saharan Africa);
(d) blood transfusions (before 1984 in the United States but continuing risk in certain countries); and
(e) consumption of infected meat (probable root cause is some guys eating a chimpanzee).
In sub-Saharan Africa, the most common routes of infection are (a) and (c), and homosexual activity is relatively rare with adultery and fornication common among barbarian [non-Christian] populations. The originating/root cause is probably (e). Abhorrent homosexual activity contributed to the spread of the disease in the early 1980s among the heathens of San Francisco.
Africa needs Christianity, and this program is one tool to make that happen. So let us control our southwestern border and use the money not spent on subsidizing illegal immigrants to give hope to some children.
