[My Favorite Headache]

Press conference starts at 2:45 EST....get the prilosec out...we are going to need it.

[Krodg]

If ANYTHING I am being a 'true conservative' here.

I'm still trying to figure out what a 'true conservative' is... :-(

[My Favorite Headache]

W handing out the keys to the store.

[skeeter]

I'm gonna be sick.

[Steel Wolf]

I'm not entirely sure about your point with posting the Posse Comitatus Act. Any military force on the planet is entirely within it's duty to secure the borders from non citizens attempting to enter. That's why we or anyone else has militaries, to secure the borders. Most countries have 'border guard' units of considerable size, it would not be unreasonable for us to do the same.

Legal status granted by this program lasts three years and will be renewable.

[ohioWfan]

Say, man. I want information, not vitriole.

You ever been on a live thread before?

[putupon]

That pic won't last long...lol

Well then, let's give this one a try:

[tallhappy]

The headline says, US offers visas to 8 million illegals, or US visas offered to 8 million illegals.

Translation of "Ofrece EU visa a 8 milliones de ilegales".

EU is Estados Unidos -- United States.

Interesting that a Mexican paper calls them illegals when absolutely no US paper will use that term for them.

[eyespysomething]

My husband and I were debating the point that our country was founded on immigrants, has grown with immigrants. My only beef is that then the majority of them came in legally. These are illegal immigrants, and will be allowed to remain in our country, even after breaking the law.

Of course, the increase in tax revenue must have Congress drooling.

[primeval patriot]

Gov't will develop a quick and simple system to find American workers.

[OXENinFLA]

Pres. forgot to mention that one will have TO PAY to be registered.

[Miss Marple]

I am a descended from immigrants who came in that time period.

I was transcribing what the presideint said.

I am leaving this thread, also. It is impossible to deal with all the bashing and try to keep up with what the president is saying. I will go listen to him and read the speech on the White House web site. Good day.

[RightWhale]

Dark thoughts, indeed. But we'll take a different road.

[Howlin]

Businesses MUST NOT hire illegal aliens.

[Cagey]

The system is not working.

Not for a moment is this about fixing the "system". This is pandering in it's purest form. I really thought pandering was going to be absent in W's term. I was wrong.

[primeval patriot]

Undocumented workers will be required to pay onetime fee to join program.

[tallhappy]

So the wealthy classes had to do something to keep American workers down.

Thank you, Karl Marx, for your astute insight.

[GraniteStateConservative]

It's like being a grandparent/guardian of a child your kid was unable to raise because they are in jail. You don't have a lot of choice. We don't have a lot of choice.

There it is...Blanket Amnesty..W style. I am staying home in November...Ya'll
