An open letter to President Bush and the Congress of the United States regarding the proposed "comprehensive immigration reform" bill, crafted in secret in a back-room collaboration of U.S. Senators and immigration proponents:
Fool me once, shame on you Fool me twice, shame on me
Fool me 12 million times, and I will openly mock and ridicule your pretense of seriousness and your ability to draft and enforce the laws of our country.
Simple as that.
All you need to know is the damning number of 12 million. That's the minimum number of people in this country illegally - in violation of the laws passed by the Congress of the United States and signed by President's of the United States. 12 million people that the written law did not stop, and that the Exectutive Branch has neither the capacity or will to punish.
12 million scoffers at the laws of our country.
Failure to secure our borders and keep out even one person who you, Mr. Congressman and Mr. Senator and Mr. President, have said in the laws that you passed and signed should not be in the country, is a failure of your office.
Failure 12 million times is a dereliction of duty so massive that it boggles the mind and demands accountability. Not reform. Accountability.
You have no authority any more to pass laws on this matter. 12 million have scoffed at these unenforcable laws. The lawful citizens of this country now scoff at you too.
No amnesty bill will restore the authority of Congress on this matter. No reform. Only border enforcement. Once you have sealed the border, as is your duty, you can propose how to deal with the 12 million who have as their first act on our soil violated the law. Not until then.
Seal the border or resign!
What if the criminal aliens, crooks, terrorists and narco-gangsters don’t want amnesty? Why should they? Wouldn’t they have to pay taxes? How can you force criminals to become citizens? Why would you? If these people really wanted to be real citizens they wouldn’t use phony ID’s.
I think the real number is a lot closer to 30 Million than 12 million.
SAY NO TO AMNESTY!!

The laws that are currently on our books are not enforced, the “new” laws are going to magically be enforced?
The illegal immigrants do not obey our laws now, what will make them suddenly start obeying “new” laws?
When does this Senate Bill come to the floor for debate and vote?
Bush Swallows.
What can I say. I agree with all of the replies. It’s sad to watch our government totally lose it’s authority due to massive law breaking which they are powerless and willless to stop.
