"The president is not on our side," Tancredo told the paper, complaining that Bush supports an "open door" border policy that could lead to another terrorist attack. "Then the blood of the people killed will be on this administration and this Congress."Tancredo made the bold opening, then refined the definition of exactly what he was refering to. Neither you, I or anyone can rationally refute these two sentences.
Look, we are not closing our borders. Docks are seeing spys and known terrorists slipping into our nation. Our southern border is wide open, with only a token force to stem illegal immigration.
You and I might like to support Bush on every issue, but on this one we simply cannot. Why did we go to all the trouble to create a Homeland Defense office then completely ignore illegal immigration? Why are we going to all the trouble to make our citizens jump through hoops just to take a flight, but we can't demand that foreign nationals go through a proper immigration screening process? This should be obvious to anyone with an open mind.
When the day comes where US citizens are more concerned with loyalty to their man instead of to their nation, it won't be day at all.
The long cold night will have already begun.

The Bush team needs to get a clue.
Gopusa.com poll is not running in their favor at the moment:
GOPUSA Poll |
Which of the following statements best summarizes your position on illegal immigration? |
Illegal aliens should be deported because they broke the law in order to get here.
-- 68% Amnesty should be granted to certain illegal aliens covered under President Bush's proposals.
-- 2% A moratorium should be placed on all immigration until the illegal immigration problem can be fixed.
-- 27% There should be no restrictions on immigrants who wish to enter the United States.
-- 1% |

The possibilities for bringing terrorists and/or explosives through the sea cargo system are pretty scary. Huge numbers of those shipping containers go in and out of port every day.

On-line polls are self-selecting, and are, therefore, worthless.

I will for sure be writing him in on my ballot in 2004. For all the blathering about terrorists coming in from Canada and aboard ships, putting military on both borders is certainly a step in the right direction as far as controlling the terrorists from the south and the north.
It's certainly better than Bush's idea of how to combat terrorists. "If you want to fight terrorism, help someone, be compassionate", I can barely believe that kind of drivel comes out of his mouth. What is someone suppose to think listening to that kind of idiot idea to combat terrorism? Be nice to a terrorist, make him feel at home in America, and maybe he won't blow your rear off. What nerve Bush has standing in public and making such wild and outrageous demands on a citizenry he is doing everything in his power to expose to danger. Does he have an alcholic wet brain or does he just not give a darn?

Bump for the truth. Re-BUMP for the truth. Tancredo is a good guy (and I am a fan of Bush, when he unsigns the ICC and supports individual rights to bare arms. But on this immigration thing, Tancredo is da man.)

No hell no he is not speaking for the majority of the conservatives. He damned sure does not speak for me.I hope someone beats him in the next election. You do not pick a fight with your president on national tv or the press.If you do you can expect to get your brains beat out in the next election. Just ask Senator Smith.

supports individual rights to bare arms. I think we all support your right to go sleeveless.
To: KantianBurke
I really like President Bush but I think he is all out wrong wanting to allow illegals already here to apply for approval to stay. It is not a question of loyalty to the President or to the Party. It is a matter of Constitutionality, respect for law, and doing what is right, and doing what the voters want. We do not want any illegals. We want our borders secure. We want people seeking the good life to come here and have a good time and even earn a living as long as they are here leaglly.

The debate on immigration should not be limited to implications insofar as terrorism is concerned. The debate should also impact the effect of mass Third World immigration on our culture and national identity.
To: KantianBurke
Tancredo didn't dispute any of the quotations. He was just surprised, he said, that the White House took so much offense at them. He calls Bush a murderer and then says he's surprised that offense was taken. Sheesh, Tancredo is truly an idiot.
