Bush vows permanent ban on future illegal migrants

Bush vows permanent ban on future illegal migrants Jun 23 01:49 PM US/Eastern President George W. Bush promised Saturday to permanently bar future illegal immigrants from the United States as he renewed his push for immigration reform, a centerpiece of his domestic agenda.

A revised reform package was reintroduced in the Senate this past week after its predecessor failed on June 7 to garner enough votes to cut off debate and move for final passage.

The collapse of the first proposal has prompted a personal intervention by the president, who went to Capitol Hill to plead for giving the bill a second chance.

But while he has succeeded in putting the proposal back on the Senate agenda, the legislation is facing strong opposition from both Republicans and Democrats, who argue that granting legal status to an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants will only encourage more people to sneak across the poorly guarded border.

In his weekly radio address, Bush sought to address these concerns, revealing for the first time that under the revised proposal, people crossing a US border illegally will not only be deported, but never allowed to enter the United States again.

"Under this bill, those caught crossing illegally will be permanently barred from returning to the United States on a work or tourist visa," the president stated.

He went on to assure Americans the new bill puts border enforcement first.

The measure contains 4.4 billion dollars to help the US Border Patrol hire more agents, build additional fencing, purchase infrared cameras and other technologies that help intercept illegal aliens.

"Only after these enforcement tools are in place will certain other parts of the bill go into effect," Bush said.

We've got to make some serious adjustments to our Congress, by firing all career politicians.

A near-wholesale firing of all of them would be suitable.

The bastards are now at war with us, the American people.

They are shocked to find out we are not as ill-informed and stupid as they assumed.

>>Under current law, those caught and deported once already are barred from applying for any kind of visa for 10 years, and that law has not been enforced. I see no reason to think that a newer, tougher law would be enforced. How about they go back to the drawing board and enforce the laws that are already on the books for several years to PROVE that they are serious, and then we’ll talk. All the Senators who are thinking about voting for cloture ought to remember what happened to Spencer Abraham.<<

What about the chain migrants, Jorge?

The most pathetic part of this is that the words are being spoken by someone whom we have elected President Of The United States Of America.

Yeah, and when does this “ban” start? Why wasn’t it started about 30 years ago? What a joke.

ROFL!!! Is this Scrappleface?

Unfortunately not. Sometimes Scrappleface has the ring of truth about it's parody pieces.

The same can not be said of anything coming out of the White House these days.

All right then.
That settles it. He promised.

OK then, we'll accept the 20 million illegal aliens and their soon to arrive additional 40 million relatives!

If that is possible, why do we now have 12/20/34? Million that "need to be made legal?"

No politician will ever answer that.

We should never, ever believe what they now say, when they crossed their fingers and held their hands last time promising "permanent ban on illegal aliens?"

>Bush must hate middle class America!!!!<

All globalists do. The middle class is the only barrier to the guarantee of their eternal elitism.

Mr. President the time for this rhetoric was 6 years ago before 9-11.

Had the borders been enforced then we would NOT be having this argument now.

You can promises all you want to enforce all laws but who says a Hellary or a Osama Obama will keep your promise for you.

I don’t trust anything coming out of Washington.

Just a bunch of do nothing congressman enriching themselves at my expense.
