[My Favorite Headache]

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

[RiflemanSharpe]

I suppose you prefer the status quo?
No. I'd prefer to see the law enforced and have the illegal immigrants rounded up and deported.



At least effectively close the border, then a large number will eventually filter back to mexico.

[Texaggie79]

But we are moving up in the world.

I think the current system rocks. Want in the country? Work the crap jobs for awhile, and there you go.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

What was the original title?

[ken5050]

How much of the speech is in Spanish?

[putupon]

[GraniteStateConservative]

You can try Liberty Forum, I guess.

[Beck_isright]

That pic won't last long...lol

[dben]

Amen brother, I wish that message could be on the front of Hannityand Colmas tonight.

[ShandaLear]

I don't see many Americans picking fruit.

[You Dirty Rats]

If the border is effectively closed, Mexicans will be even less likely to leave the country, since they can't get back.

LIVE THREAD PING!!!!!

Thanks, MFH!

[My Favorite Headache]

You KNOW for a fact that I am a long time supporter and poster here at FR. The title of the thread should have remained. My comments being removed were another slap in the face. Jim...you know damn well this is selling America out. President Bush should be called Senor Bush for his actions today and pandering and catering to Mexico. If ANYTHING I am being a true conservative here.

Why the pulling of titles and posts? C'mon...let us have some free speech here.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

The mods have decided to crack down on provocative posts on these threads.

[OXENinFLA]

Oh how times have changed.

Ensuring Detention and Removal of Illegal Aliens:

The Administration is committed to removing those who have entered the country illegally and to detain criminal aliens. The budget funds INS detention and deportation staff and provides resources to remove criminal and illegal aliens swiftly. The 2002 Budget provides $89 million to support an additional 1,607 average daily detention bed spaces for a total level of more than 21,000 bed spaces. INS will continue to target its efforts primarily on removing deportable aliens held in Federal, State, and local facilities to ensure that these criminal aliens are not allowed back on the street. The budget also continues funding to fully implement detention standards to ensure those detained, particularly those who have pending asylum cases, are treated fairly.

Tancredo SI!!!

President Bush's best buddy NO!!

[TomGuy]

This is one of those threads that may need to be forwarded to all elected in Washington, DC, so they will see the furor and animosity the illegals issue is causing.

Numbers from www.michaelsavage.com poll [I added commas and color for readability]:

SHOULD WE LEGALIZE ILLEGAL ALIENS?
YES (826,302)	7%
NO (10,525,120)	93%
11,351,422 total votes since 12/10/03

[Age of Reason]

And why do you think that is?

Paul/Tancredo '04.
