Based on the form letter I received back from Warner, he will sign the bill. For example, he claims that this bill is not amnesty, which of course he is against. Warner also signed the 2006 Senate bill, which was even worse.
So set up a system to track, monitor, and repatriate visa overstays. The US Visit Program was passed in 1996 and has yet to be implemented. Chertoff has been a disaster. He is not a manager and should never have been appointed Secretary of DHS. The most people he had ever supervised before was a small legal staff. I blame him for the Katrina debacle because he was mired in legalisms with Blanco rather than demonstrating operational effectiveness by taking action immediately and worrying about the legal issues later.
That’s really too bad, Pres.
Maybe that’s why you had the reputation of being arrogant.
I’m thinking of a couple of judicial nominees that you left hanging in the wind as the Dhims ripped them apart and delayed voting.
Bush has been giving his base the bird for over six years, and now he remembers them when he needs a favor. He thought his base would rollover for him. And this is after he called his base stupid, nativists, vigilantes, and other choice words.
“Oh, and the Feds have NO intention of enforcing the laws on the books — because it would cause rampant inflation and cut into big business profits.”
I agree completely. One of my arguments against illegal immigration has been that it is causing artificially low prices on many goods and services. This, in turn, is causing a false floor in the economy. If, and when, we end illegal labor, we will all end up paying the piper.
Well, let’s have the higher prices for those goods and services and get it over with. If lettuce is supposed to be $3 a head, so be it. A false economy is a potential pitfall.
If Bush was a Democratic plant sent to demoralize the base he couldn’t be doing better than he has on this issue.
That’s what I expect from him but it steams my shorts to be given the runaround and when calling.
He also voted for the fence and when I asked how that was coming along I was told to call Homeland Security. He sits on the Senate Committee on Homeland Security. Ya’d THINK they’d be up-to-date.
Sometimes I think these people have gone daffy and they don’t have a clue what’s going on. Nobody knows what the left and and right hand are doing in Washington anymore.
It’s just a glorious game of politics that they wake up to every day and the rest of us have to actually live with the consequences.
“”the status quo is unacceptable.””
I agree with him. Problem is that his “solution” is ten times worse.
exactly
I reregistered last month as a Democrat. For 2 reasons:
1- It would be more likely to get the attention of the RNC
2- I can vote for “anyone but Hillary” in the Florida primary.
I can change back to Rep at any time, should our elected Republicans start demonstrating some conviction about what’s right for our country.
If the illegals are deported, businesses might have to pay higher wages. What a pity.
That's what this fight is really about. It is about keeping wages down in the United States. It is, and always has been, about money. American politicians don't care about the poor people of Mexico.
Virginia is trending Dem/liberal as Northern Virginia dominates the political landscape more and more. That is going to be a problem.
Isn’t that the truth.
He’s done a LOT of harm by pushing this and I’m sure the Democrats are cackling and gleefully rubbing their hands together behind closed doors.
Stop forcing American’s to supplement Mexico and socialism in general by over taxing us to prop up their idiotic socialist regimes, and stop them from sending their slaves here to take jobs from American’s and send their wages home to enable the sonovabitches to whom they are enslaved!
If socialism is as wonderful as it supporters proclaim it to be; why the hell must it always mooch off of Capitalism??
Don’t fall asleep on this one yet. What they will try to do next is bring forward the same bill but call it the “Border Security and Enforcement Act of 2007”. In it will be allocations for building The Fence but in the small print of the remaining 800 pages and attachments will be all the amnesty provisions wanted by the traitororous sell-outs.
“”Now is the time to move a comprehensive bill that enforces our borders and has good workplace enforcement, that doesn’t grant automatic citizenship, that addresses this problem in a comprehensive way,” he said after the lunch.”
Sorry, W
You need to read the bill... it was not what you say you want.
Yup. Got to slip it by you in secret because you can't be trusted to do the right thing.
