I wouldn't bother. If George Bush wanted to deport these millions of illegal aliens, the Bush cheerleaders would be 100 percent in support of it. That's a sad fact.

We have been betrayed!

We wont get fooled again.

I'm pretty much in agreemant with you. Evaluate individual candidates on the issues and not on their party affiliation. Bush has probably lost me as well.

Just like America was betrayed when your uneducated and non-English speaking ancestors came over on the boat.

Where would you be today if they had been denied permission to come to America.

Lay off the hyperbole and debate the facts.

thanx for playing

Thanks for posting. I said it in my post 149. I think all these 'conservatives' whining they will never vote for Bush again are either being led around by the media bias and not educating themselves on what the bill really does, or they are not really conservatives, but lib plants looking for something to criticize Bush for in order to make it appear Bush is too 'left' for conservatives.

au contraire, dear Dane. I only berate those who do not have legal clearance to work in the United States. I also berate those in power in USA who are allowing illegal immigration to succeed.

I have no qualms about legal immigrants pursuing their work in the United States.

No hypocrasy at all.

Can you see this difference? Would you try? But of course, you cannot see that distinction here on FR, no matter how many times I would write it. You don't understand it because you don't want to understand it.

It's the latter. These folks are applying the classic "Delphi" technique in order to promote dissent within the conservative community. Read their posts carefully...

"Lib plants". Yeah, right. /sarc.

Take a look at my posts on FR for the last four years, for example.

You are encountering the raw wrath of a) a lot of conservatives out there on FR; who b) have read the bill and agree with Congressman Tancredo (REPUBLICAN) that this was a travesty.

Hang it up.

How many millions more do you feel will be enough? 28 million? 57 million? Maybe 110 million?

How many millions of uneducated, unskilled, non-english speaking do you think will be enough, on top of the 8 or so million illegal aliens that are already in our county?

If this is a "MASSIVE MEXICAN INVASION," you already know the solution. Your refusal to entertain said solution is quite telling.

Like it or not they help the economy. These people after a day of cleaning toilets, working out in the fields, and working in searing heat putting roofs on buildings, go out and buy food, clothes, and other consumer goods.

Also major efforts should be made to help economies south of the border.

If someone comes into this country illegaly don't expect us to welcome them with open arms under the threat of being called a racist if we don't.

I'm surprised at the number of people here on FR that pull the race card when this subject comes up. They obviously have no clue what the hell they are talking about. Those of us that live in areas that are swamped with illegals are sick of it.

I wonder how much they can afford working all those sweatshop jobs at less than minimum wage?THEY are being exploited as well.

This argument won't be solved here. Perhaps it will at election time.

Interesting, my friend.

I didn't even mention you in my post--indeed, I mentioned no names--and you instantly responded to it.

There's a saying about how when one throws a stick into a pack of dogs, the one who yelps is the one you hit. I threw the stick, and you yelped.

I am laughing at how foolish you are, and how easy you are to manipulate.

In other words, you are in the "well, they're already here" camp. At any rate, I think I understand you. I certainly don't agree, but I believe I understand where you are coming from. Of course, if Bush switched his position on this, you would still hold that there is no problem with illegal immigration, correct?

By the way, it was precisely the strategy of the White House and their Hill handlers, to slip in something dangerous into a bill that had elements of positive things. I HAVE read the bill; you idiot. I went to Congressional Bill status on the web and read it yesterday again from beginning to end. You don't know what you are talking about. Stop with the "Huddled Masses" sermon, already. We are supposed to be a country of Laws.
