To alleviate the concerns, the president said he was receptive to an emergency spending bill as a way to emphasize his administration's commitment to accelerated enforcement. One congressional official put the price tag at up to $15 billion.
I'm sorry, but no amount of money on the front end for enforcement as the bill has described will actually help the law do what conservatives would expect. How about throwing $15 billion at the laws already on the books instead?
Scrap this idiotic proposal.
I’m for immigration of much of the GOP leaders...but I have just not found a planet that will take them yet.

How many times, and how many ways do we have to shout it? The PARTY is not divided on this issue! The leadership is disconnected from the base. Restraining myself from further because the mod has the duct tape out and is giving me the evil eye.
Gee, and what ever would give us THAT idea?
Being a hard core (REAGAN) CONSERVATIVE, I do NOT approach NATIONAL INTERESTS from an EMOTIONAL point of view. Rather, I do so from an INTELLECTUAL stand-point.
INTELLECT tells ME that PRESIDENT BUSH is DEAD WRONG on this issue!!
YOU NEVER REWARD BAD BEHAVIOR!!
To do so will ONLY ensure more BAD BEHAVIOR!
RESIGN NOW, PRESIDENT BUSH!!
It's not the issue that raises my emotions. It's the effrontery of a treasonous President that does.
This is so sickening. MR BUSH-— PUT UP THAT WALL!!!!!
“”It’s a highly emotional issue,” said Bush after a session in which several lawmakers bluntly told him their constituents do not trust the government to secure the nation’s borders or weed out illegal workers at job sites.”
Prez - I love you - however on this I will fight you tooth and nail.
Actions speak vs. words.
It’s not emotional for me - it is simple math.
I don't think Jorge would be welcome at a pig sticking in the south.
One senator quoted Bush as telling Sessions: “Don’t worry, I’ll still go to your fundraiser. We disagree about this, but we are friends.”
So, Bush does plan to punish him.
Bush is going to lose big on this issue.
It may cost him his job, we won’t stand by him while the Dems. go an impeachment fishing expedition (I won’t anyway).
I was insulted during Harriet, Dubai and now this he can kiss my ass.
There are two issues which concern me, and I’m not sure which one is more important. Illegal immigration is one, but the other is our elected representatives’ unwillingness to do what we want them to do. Are they even listening to us? Do they have a hidden agenda? Why should we trust them to do ANYTHING for us, if they won’t handle this one?
I don’t know one Republican from very conservative to more moderate that supports this bill — not one! My two Oklahoma Senators reflect the sentiments of Oklahoma Republicans — ENFORCE the laws on the books NOW!
Sorry Pres. I agree with you on all but 1% that 1% is your latest Immigration bill initiative. Just because you have spent much of your life in Texas, your sister-in-law is Hispanic and you speak passable Spanish, doesnt give the right to give our country over to Mexico.

(multiple whip cracks and Howard Dean yells)
How in God's name will any department in our government be able to handle millions and millions of applications, registrations and paperwork? And - what becomes of this information and how does it get mananged?
This POS legislation needs to be scrapped before it will be too late to turn back.
The MSM think that Republican members of Congress are the ‘Party’.
That’s the whole problem in a nutshell.
The People are left out by the MSM.
Kiss my butt George...you New World Order POS!!!
