I hope to one day never have to read BUSH again...he is delusional and dangerous...

[Robert A Cook PE]

Yes, we MUST disagree and FIGHT Bush on this issue.

HE IS WRONG.

Dead wrong. Doesn’t matter what else he’s done - and parts of what he’s done are very good. Others, like Kennedy’s No Child Left Behind bill, Kennedy’s welfare/Medicare Bill for democratic (senior) voters, and Kennedy’s Amnesty Bill, and Kennedy’s McCain-Fiengold Bill are WRONG.

He - BUSH - pushed every one of those through OVER conservative (all republican) opposition and WITH the full support of his democrat enemies and their RINO allies - and he should be corrected/edited/condemned for pushing those problems and long-term financial canyons on America.

Without Bush’s PUSHING and PROMOTIONS, we would be in better shape as a country because NONE of those would have passed.

Now, I can’t tell you WHY Bush is pushing these pieces of legislation. I can only assure that he is dead wrong about them. And equally dead set on getting HIS wrong-headed, wrong-sensed priorities through.

And - for these actions domestically - I fully condemn him.

More is happening with our border security (in terms of WMD type attacks) then can openly be discussed (and thankfully so). Think NSA leaked program.....

Imposing penalties on employers is foolishness. So now you want to further burden the private sector (small business owners) because the Fed and State Gov't can't handle their own responsibilities. That to me is just foolishness. With fake IDs and all the rest it is just a ridiculous burden to put on the private sector.

We need to fix the terribly flawed guest-worker program (which GWB wants to do)...we also need further border control (which is somewhat different then border security)...but the two do overlap.

Best regards, we'll agree to disagree on the whole on this one it seems.

[SevenMinusOne]

Disagreeing with him his fine. Going off the deep end and calling for his impeachment, calling him a disgrace, blah, blah, blah (which happens routinely on here) is just foolishness.

This issues has shown (sadly so) that there is a segment of our base which is really of the same pathetic ilk as the DEM's base....(they are just right politically more often).

I tried the call and it works great. I told the woman who answered the phone that I'd gotten the number on the Internet. She assured me that she was aware of this situation and told me that any message I cared to pass along would go right to Senator "Turban Durbin"(actually, she said Senator Durbin"-I added the Turban).

Anyway, it works and it is the first time that I've ever had a number that gets me to my Senator.

I'm going to keep the number and hopefully lose the Senator.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Correct. He has no clout & no coat tails. He’s not running again but many Republicans are and I think they’ve gotten the message.

Continuing - "Jenna Bush...My son I had with that Arkansas prostitute...George P. Bush...Chelsea's offspring..."

A few employers get caught and pay big fines, believe me it will become self policing. I sell businesses for a living and when the buyer comes to do due diligence, its the first thing they ask for (I-9 records). We disagree on Bush. And yet I am a conservative. He isn’t. He values Kennedy’s opinion and Kennedy should be retired for doing more harm to this country than anyone. I think you are now in the minority on how you view Bush. But hey, for now, it is still a free country. Good luck to us.

[Rudder]

He no influence, respect, or credibility left.

He no on our side, Kimosabe.

[WOSG]

Yes, NCLB was another Kennedy-GOP combo monstrosity.

We won’t get fooled again.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

He no on our side, Kimosabe.

He also talks with forked tongue.

“And why is there such a need for this bill in the 1st place?”

1) The cheap labor lobby wants their supply more secure and away from the danger of it getting interrupted by the yahoos who want to close the border.
2) La Raza wants their power enlarged and millions more to be here, and the Mexican govt want to confirm the economic structure of remittances, and the political power of mexifornia etc.
3) Democrat party elites want voters

The only thing in it for taxpaying Republicans is that maybe we get some cheaper yard work done. Or course we culd ask college kids instead. So it Hardly seems worth the $2.5 trillion it will cost us... must be Bush’s fuzzy math.

The issue of what to really do with illegal immigration is a matter of will:
1) Will we build the border fence?
2) Will we enforce the law in the workplace and at jails?
3) Will we end anchor babies etc.?

[Jane Austen]

The bill’s supporters’ urge to embrace illegal aliens and their desire for not just amnesty but amnesty in all haste is frightening. Somebody compared it to an obsessive fetish. I say the supporters cannot wait to destroy this nation. Bush has turned into Evil. Sad for this country.

[jmj3jude]

I agree!

[Colorado Buckeye]

No we don’t need men like him who are hell bent on destroying our language, borders and culture. We need men like Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, Jeff Sessions, John Cornyn, Tom Coburn, etc.

Which is another way of saying we need an American president rather than a Globalist president. We haven't had and American president since Reagan.

[tennmountainman]

Are u out of your mind?

What part of giving our national sovernity away, don’t you understand?

This bill is not just another bill, where differences of opinion won’t affect National Sovernity.

This bill is EXACTLY THAT.

BUILD THE FENCE FIRST, THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH THOSE ALREADY HERE.

[jmj3jude]

Thanks for the post, although I am not a big fan of the immigration bill, You at least put it in prospective. Reagan was a great president and so is Bush. When I cast my two votes for Bush, it was on a lot of other important issues too. The only thing I worry about is this, if the Democrats keep the house and the senate and win the presidency what kind of immigration bill will we have then? That scares me, maybe it scares Bush too.
