“would cause our country to lose its great capacity to assimilate newcomers.”
We lost our ability to assimilate newcomers when we lost control over our border.
El Presidente Bush waves GOODBYE to America's health and his base in the GOP.
Exactly right. We can see how well assimilation is going in southern California and Arizona. It is an invasion that is changing the face of the public school systems for the worse, taxes health care systems to the breaking point and forcing citizens to bear an increasing local tax burden. Those who can not see the problem aren’t fit to be leaders. I propose we deport the President and Kennedy to Mexico. Cheney running the show would have to be better.
AMEN! And Bush is largely responsible for the lack of enforcement. It sickens me when he tries to spin this deceptive propaganda to the American public.
No, you dolt. LEGAL immigration has been “the lifeblood of a lot of our country’s history.” Your perfidious amnesty bill simply validates a huge wave of ILLEGAL immigration, which does irreparable harm to LEGAL immigration.

“I’m deeply concerned about America losing its soul. Immigration has been the lifeblood of a lot of our country’s history........................”
I have supported this president through thick and thin, given him a pass many times, but this is the end. What does this man not understand about the difference between LEGAL and ILLEGAL! There has always been immigration, but not ILLEGAL immigration. This is as frustrating to me as when a liberal claims to support the troops, but not the war. I am a descendent of immigrants who came here before the United States was even a country. My ancestors fought in George Washingtons army, likely at Valley Forge. Their sacrifices were not made so this president can hand this great country over to a foreign nation such as Mexico
Call your reps. and tell them how you feel about giving this country over to a bunch of law breaking invaders.
Not really. we lost the ability to assimilate when we became unsure of who we are. when you don't know where your home is --- one half of the country thinks it is the entire world; they are world citizens, you see --- you can't differentiate a family member from a stranger. You end up with many strangers. We lost control over the border because we lost control of American values and no longer teach them to the children.
One cannot protect what one does not know. Americans have not been protecting American ever since Vietnam War. That is why the war is coming closer, and great many strangers from Mexico sit at our dinner tables.
“We lost our ability to assimilate newcomers when we lost control over our border.”
Amen!
the newcomers have no interest in assimilating... and the libs think it's wrong to want them to assimilate... this is why the US has lost its identity... i'm 42... as a child, i felt i knew what it was to be an American... i was proud of our country... even just 30 years ago, there was still an identity that Americans shared... it's gone... now everything is multicultural... nothing is American...
