People talk about President Bush in a completely inappropriate manner— suggesting traitor, unpatriotic, worthy of impeachment. These are all ridiculous indications of an irrational mob. That is being nice. I think fascism is not far off target.
Bush believes this bill increases enforcement. I believe this bill increases enforcement. No waterfall of ad hominem will change that point for me.
To ask why immigration threads are viewed as irrational is odd in itself. Are there any other threads were emotions run higher?
Operation wetback removed far fewer people. It did not remove all illegal aliens. It did not stop all illegal immigration.
The 1950s were the 1950s and there is hardly a single policy of the 1950s that people have not harkened back to as some sort of ideal.
It ain’t happening and everyone here ought to know that. There is no conceivable way to remove 20 million people from the US. It has been difficult to incarcerate the record numbers we presently have in our prisons.
I do not think rational dialogue is taking place on this issue.
“suggesting traitor, unpatriotic, worthy of impeachment. These are all ridiculous indications of an irrational mob.”
If you open the borders and allow us to be inundated with squatters, that is by definition treasonous (the same as allowing the invasion of an army). The Romans tried that same tactic with the goths and it ended in the dark ages.
I would suggest that while we may be a mob, self defense is never irrational.
Bush is a Globalist..does that sound better ?
