Good article, but unfortunately it’s more politically correct for President Bush and other high ranking Republicans to trash Conservatives than it is to talk about arresting criminals.
This amnesty is worse than Carters Mariel boatlift.
A FIRESTORM is a brewin’...
How can you expect those who’ve come here illegally and ignored our current laws to begin following the new ones, especially if there’s anything punitive about them? Is the new legislation a sign of renewed Federal financial responsibility or will all of the costs of the new program be mandated to the states to pay as is the current practice? I’m hearing from the pols that “the system is broke, we need a new system” instead of “we need to re-invigorate our current system with an injection of enthusiasm and resources”. We also need to insist that Mexico quit making their problem our problem.
I told a co-worker this last week - Carter and Bush are the most disastrous admins in U.S. history. We're still feeling the effects of the Carter presidency, and we'll feel the negative impact of Bush immigration policy for decades (maybe generations).
Clinton was a scandalous president, his policies didn't have the long term negative impact of Carter-Bush.
Considering that he gave the Chinese the ability to build MIRV-ed ICBMs, I'm not too sure about that.
I'm afraid that he's working on it.
I agree with him on the WOT and we scored on the SC Justices. And taxes. Beyond that..............I'm skeert. I just don't understand a man that comprehends the importance of striking back at terrorists but wants to open our southern border.
Not quite true. He ignored terrorist attacks and they escalated. Plus his friendship with the Chinese hasn't all come to fruition yet. Crap/poison in our products from China is just the beginning.
Sorry Mr. President....YOUR amnesty bill is a train wreck for the average American!
Give him time, he's working on it. I've read some who believe there are those working to unite the U.S., Mexico & Canada into a North American Union. I try not to believe it but this administration sure acts like that's the case.
But George Bush’s arrogance will not allow him to see the truth. Even if it weren’t true, he won’t bend to the will of the people. He will destroy the Republican party—which perhaps is a good thing. But in the process, he’ll guarantee the election of a hard core Marxist in ‘08—and the beginning of the darkest days of our Republic.
Of course, and this is tangential, he doesn’t care about that either. It doesn’t affect him. He has enough personal assets that his standard of living won’t be affected.
Didn't the Pres. learn anything about co-dependency in rehab?
George Bush - The Enabler
In the US, a person going to work where they handle a lot of sensitive government information usually has to go through a door knock background check. Someone gets on the ground and talks to previous employers, neighbors, etc. Why? Because I say above there is no such thing as a comprehensive background check.
In many states the county level criminal conviction data never gets to the statewide system which means that THAT data never gets in to the nationwide systems such as NCIC.
The criminal background check part of this idiot bill is a farce!
As far as I'm concerned Bush can stay in Europe. I have no use for him here anymore.
The fate of the immigration bill comes down to Senate Republicans’ leader, Mitch McConnell........”The only thing that can save us now is if McConnell made an appeal to Republicans that this thing is out of control and we need to step back from it.......”said Sen. Jim DeMint, South Carolina Republican. “He could do that....”..... Debate on the bill resumes today, and Republican leaders will have to decide quickly...........snipped from:

Jam McConnell’s phone today. Be polite.
