Which Ammendment protects the right of foreign nationals to enter and colonize our country illegally?

Bunch of knuckleheads, aren't they?
Only problem with this statement is that the majority of the terrorists in the Sept 11 attack were not here illegally.
I don't know whether I agree 100% with Bush's policy, but Tancredo sounds rather hysterical and ignorant here.
Why, nothing, nothing!
And what's wrong with "A living wage for every American?" Or, "Science in the Public Interest?" Or, "A woman's right to choose?" Or, "Every child a wanted child?" Or the "ethical treatment of animals?" Or, "Let a thousand flowers bloom?" I mean, you'd have to be a real cretin not to like flowers.
Not long after Sept. 11, I read that they were
tightening the borders. They were going after terror-
ists. Then they got around to talking about the bor-
ders again. It seems to me that Bush said something
about letting families of immigrants complete their nat-
uralization process without going back to their country
of origin.
I may have it a little mixed up, but he said
he was going to let this all go on a case-by-case basis.
It wasn't supposed to involve a really large group of
people. But all of a sudden, people are flying off the
handle. And just because a 'conservative' congressman
picks a bone publicly with the president about it, these
people come out screaming that the Bush administration
is going against conservatives, that he is selling them
out. That because he is disagreeing with said conserv-
ative, he mustn't be a real conservative, he is really a
liberal, socialist, one-world-order, take your pick!
It doesn't seem to matter whether it is a Democrat or
or a Republican. When old Senator Robert Byrd recently
voted against an immigration bill, of some sort,
these same people were hanging all over him, drooling.
That makes me wonder what kind of people these people
are!
And to try and disassociate terrorism from illegal immigration is fully dishonest, or at the very least, horribly naive. Yah, the planes were hijacked by folks that were here legally (at least at some point) but what is going to happen once you cut off that route? They're going to come in over the border, be it North or South. And no amount of pilot arming and/or background checking is going to stop them. Of course, once we come to the conclusion that our borders are built like seives we will attemt to effect a real border scheme. But, by then it'll be too late.

Thank God Bush knows how to stick to his convictions regardless of all the nit-picking.
We got the tax cut because he didn't care about the critics...Bush cut of international funding for abortions because he didn't care about the whining from the left, rejected Kyoto inspite of the shrill protests around the world, scrapped the ABM treaty....etc. etc.
WRONG!
Illegal immigrants are the sea in which the terrorists swim. With 13+ million illegals in this country, there is a vast underground economy for people without documentation. Where did some of the 9/11 hijackers get their phony drivers licenses? From hispanics who specialize in providing phony documents. Here in DC, people sell phony i.d. from street corners!
Get rid of the illegals and the terrorists will be easier to find.
And the fourth wave will be American citizens.
You can put a wall around tnis country, and still not prevent terrorists from getting in.
Seriously, how is this qualitatively different from the guns/crime debate?
When someone has to dig up such inconsequential moves to praise Jorge Bush, you know they're desperate!
What about making a mockery of America's borders and heritage? What about signing an un-Constitutional law that guts the First Amendment? What about a sham education bill that only a Kennedy could love? What about expanding the size of the Federal government and turning loose Big Brother?
Bush is no conservative.
Funny thing is...we never have to wait long. Every day there seems to be some more anti-conservative policy eminating from the white house. And we don't have to lay around much either. As a matter of fact I've been having trouble keeping up with all the un-conservative crap he's been pulling.
A more accurate statement may have been ..They run around, trying to hit upon all the threads that seem to paint Bush badly in the hopeless quest for some vindication for voting for him.

Never tightened the borders. Only went after terrorists over-seas. The domestic terrorists seem pretty well unaffected by the "crack-down". He did say something about "families" but it was a smoke screen.

You were lied to. It was aimed at large numbers of people. Bush is going against conservatives. He's not a real conservative. He supports "amnesty", BIGGER GUBMENT, more fed intrusion into schools, more foriegn "aid", more corporate welfare ect. ect. the list goes on and on. Take your pick.

That's because we don't base our praise or scorn on the simple equation R = Right. Bush has sold us out so many times recently that to even hint that he's a conservative brings instand scorn and howling. And rightly so IMO.

I support Tancredo and his remarks. Bush's immigration policies are an abomination.
I don't know that Bush is a liberal and that he is openly anti-conservative. I think, however, that he is deadset on implementing the new world order. Though he's not white trash like his predecessor, his policies and actions in many instances are just as destructive.
