This is the best article I've seen yet on the realities of getting the bill passed.

Let the beast die already...

Love that picture. Thats back when they thought they had this sham in the bag.

Did anyone else but me notice that Lindsey Graham or Chambliss were AWOL
on all the Sunday Morning talk shows? AWOL.

Just last year, we were promised a fence. Where’s the fence? Bush

“ut the reality is GWB takes on big issues. He doesn’t push them off....he tries to address them.”

He has failed to take on border security. He could build the wall. He won’t do it seriously. He could take out amnesty and support ‘enforcement first’, but he wont. Why? Because he’s not in the right place on this issue.

Bush will never fix the problem because he doesnt even understand it.

” Reality is we have a 30 year in the making problem on immigration.”

... based on Kennedy written bills and failure to enforce the law. More of the same - more Kennedy amnesty bills and lack of enfrocement - will make the problem worse.

“We have a terribly flawed guest worker program (where a large % of those currently here illgeally now started from).”

Most illegals these days just cross the border or overstay visas.

You obviously don’t live in Southern California. We are overrun with illegals. We have been promised enforcement before and nothing happened. We have been promised they would build a fence...2 miles have been built. Our roads are clogged and they are getting more clout each and every day. La Raza is a real force to change this nation. You need to wake up!

So Bush is determined to completely implode before his term is over... And possibly take 2008 with it... I don’t understand this foolish behavior...

He’s like an Irish setter trying to pass a peach-pit

You know, I could have probably lived the rest of my life without ever hearing your peach-pit story. Thanks a lot, I will never be able to eat a peach nor play with a beautiful Irish setter again without remembering your thoughtful words.

Really, thanks a lot!

Regards,
GtG

” Therefore, counting illegal aliens ADDS to the people in normally democratic bastions of the poor and overcrowded. Of course, every House seat that is in a safely democratic (minority/low income area) ELIMINATES a (probably republican) seat that might otherwise go to a more conservative (non-minority!) area in the west or south.

It is estimated that 1-2 Mass. House seats are democratic now because of illegals in Boston. 4-5 House seats in NY. 1 in PA. 1-2 in IL. 2-3 in FL. 2-3 in TX. 4-5 in CA.

THAT difference is Pelosi’s power.

Now - WHY is Bush pushing a democrat agenda?”

GOOD QUESTION.

What I don't understand is who anointed this gang of 12 to come up with a bill in the first place, as if they were the chosen ones and everyone else was supposed to fall in line.

I am awake. And I understand the situation regarding the need for additional border control....along with the need for assimilation for new immigrants. Birth right citizenship needs to be ended, we need to fix our terribly flawed guest worker program (where many of those illegally here now started from....started out being legal)...

And while I don't agree with GWB completely on immigration...on the whole he has been a damn fine CinC/POUTS. He has led this world in the WOT like very few could have or would have.

Condsider this:

Reagan strengthened the GOP while he was in office.

Bush has damaged it badly if not destroyed it.

Reagan made plenty of mistakes. Only a fool repeats those mistakes. Instead you learn from them.

lack of border control will lead to devastating attacks here on our soil as the MS-13 gangs have reportedly been working with Al Quaeda to bring in nukes. Will anyone hold Kennedy responsible for this travesty when it happens? No but he is the architect of the last two failed immigration bills. Bush’s policy makes no sense to any conservative. It’s like he is on Fox’s (former Mexican President) payroll. Close the border, impose penalties on employers for hiring illegals and then we will talk. Do you live in a border state??

A sad state of affairs. He’s done it to himself. Self destruct mode in action. As Glenn Beck said to day, “Bush is having a love affair with Mexico”. Truer words were never spoken.
