"there will be a surge to support her position."
Not from sane people.
YES.
I voted for George W. Bush – both times – and campaigned for him.
I didn't.
And I think he's a great president.
I don't.
Fixed.
Good post.
YES!! Because he will do nothing to stop the INVASION! It doesnt matter how many came over before Bush, point is he could stop it now but he is allowing it if not encouraging it along with fox.
I voted for him once but I did not make that mistake twice. Everybody who is against being transformed into a peasant should be looking at the Conservative Party.
The essential premise is not accurate, so I stopped reading. In fact, estimates of the number of illegals in the country today is the same as it was in 2001. In reality, solving a problem that concerns 10 million people is huge, and the Bush administration has prioritized it so that they are dealing with national security risks first. Some people think there must be some magic wand instant solution, but that is probably not possible.
Yes, he's part of the problem, but he shares responsibility with many, many other federal and state politicians, plus employers and a heap of lawyers who have been working against U.S. citizens for decades.
Even IF he wanted to do something - and he doesn't, I'm certainly convinced - it'd never get past our misrepresentatives.
The Demos sold out this country to a certain minority so why can't the Repubs have their minority by also selling out this country seems fair. No Hillary will make no such move and guarrantee the Repubs the brown vote.
"Just wait until Hillary! starts campaigning on an anti illegal immigration platform , there will be a surge to support her position."
You will find know one who is a champion of conservative principles than myself. Bush is not a conservative and I am not sure what the Republican platform is anymore. I am sick and tired of the Bush's they talk the talk yet refuse to take any real action on the social reforms, we who contributed and volunteered for their campaign demand. I am changing my party affiliation to the Conservative party and whoever will take on this border issue will get my vote. Go Tancredo!!!!
Question to all, What is the RINO platform???
"Even IF he wanted to do something - and he doesn't, I'm certainly convinced - it'd never get past our misrepresentatives."
That's right. I voted for Buchanan in 2000 and was scared straight when we barely dodged that Algore bullet. I voted almost exclusively republican in 02 and again in 04. I simply weigh the republicans against the democrats and make my decision based on several issues.
Sure I oppose the Bush border policies but I also oppose the democrat policies of partial birth abortion, gun control, appeasement of terrorists, socialism and on and on.
Where are you getting your figures?
In 2001 the President used to use the figure of 6 million illegals. Now he regularly uses 8 million which would be an astonishing 33% grow rate. In 2001 the most commonly number one heard as a believable estimate for illegals was 8 million. Now the Pew Charities is estimating just shy of 11 million and they put the growth rate at an alarming 25%. Many people think the PEW Charities, which is developing a liberal reputation for deliberately deceiving the public, is understating the problem.
In 2001, some believable sources were estimating the number of illegals as high as 10 million and a few sources that were generally considered extreme were estimating 12 million. In 2004, Time Magazine is estimating 15 million illegals and Bears Stearn is estimating 18 to 20 million illegals. Neither of these sources would be considered wacky or extreme.
It is not credible to say the number has not changed. Not even the open border types believe that. Pretty much everybody (except you) agrees that it is a growing problem.
Get a friggin grip - I was just asking a question - some people on FR are so touchy no one can ask a simple question anymore - talk about childish look in the mirror.
There's a conservative party in this country? Where?
Simply put, HE IS PART OF THE PROBLEM!! It is just a case of BUSH telling us what we want to hear but doing the exact opposite and I am sick and tired. I have questioned the Rep. platform for years and I push the conservative party. It is time to stop voting for hypocracy.
No one is perfect...
