Well that’s all well and good Mr. President, but what about the vast majority of illegals who are convicted of rape, burglary, drug dealing, and murder.
Do you “love” those guys too?
What about white legal, tax paying, Americans who want to take advantage of what America has to offer? You seem to overlook the fact that there are a finite number of chairs in any classroom. And a finite number of government dollars to pay for them.
Nobody is against ‘immigration’ per se, but everyone is against rewarding criminals.
This is a point you seem to be unable to grasp.
GW has become a full fledged Liberal. Love, helping the cute little brown skin people, anecdotal ‘for the children’ stories, this is all the bread and butter of Liberalism.
As a retired military officer and now a teacher of JROTC in an urbran high school, I think I am qualified to speak, both as a supporter of our Commander-in-Chief, and as a witness to the current state of affairs. Let me say from the start that this immigration bill is a SELL OUT of middle class America and of our traditional values. The FASTEST growing segment in our schools is Hispanic. In my estimation, 30% are here illegaly, 40% were born here to illegals, and the other 30% are legal Hispanic-Americans. Many refuse to recite the Pledge, they openly speak Spanish, they listen to Latino music with IPODS in the hallways, and they exert little effort to assimilate. In other words, they are taking their OPPORTUNITY FOR GRANTED. As a result of my experience in the school system, knowing the sheer numbers involved, the way Administration cators to them with open arms, and the attitudes that many have toward American generosity, I see this whole thing as a TRAVESTY. WAKE UP AMERICA.
Forgive me; I'm Jewish and not Christian; but is President Bush turning AMERICA'S other cheek???
Does he not support the Constitution, which pre-assumes an actual NATION worth defending and keeping??
