[RightWhale]

Here comes the subversion of the United States' sovereignty.

No! This is an assertion of sovereignty. When this Admin took office we said: the grownups are now in charge. Well, the grownups have just taken charge of this problem.

[deport]

America must control it's borders....

[StriperSniper]

Sharp fellow, that Boortz. ;-)

[WackyKat]

I guess the millions of Americans who have lost jobs over the last two years are just lazy

[Kevin Curry]

Good riddence.

[primeval patriot]

Technology making sure aliens leave as scheduled.

[Trust but Verify]

My guess it that Rove got antsy at that Time Magazine Jan. 4 poll that had Bush up 52-46 among likely voters

I'll bet you're right. I'm sure this whole policy is something that can be produced, disseminated throughout the Administration, given to speechwriters, leaked to the press, etc. in 3 DAYS.

[Lady Eileen]

Cry me river.

[Chuzzlewit]

Bush says, jobs americans do not want ????? bulls*t... when I moved to California, I first applied for contructions pick up jobs , and house painting... employers laughed in my face... I was making $18 hour as a house painter in Michigan... they were paying $2 an hour to illegals for this work in Los Angeles....

[Constitution Day]

Waaaah!

[Neets]

Running commentary fine.

Hysteria before he even opens his mouth is crazy.

I had hoped to read his remarks here as I am cubicle bound...but I can't filter through all the 4 and 5 day old reposts and expired rhetoric.

[KantianBurke]

"we're fulfilling our duty of securing our border" - giving examples such as restructuring Homeland Security. No joke-

Oh. Well why all the worry. Pardon me!

[Age of Reason]

Between 1891 and 1920 we received 18 million men and women from other nations.

After freeing the slaves, American workers no longer had to compete with slave labor.

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

So they made American workers compete with immigrant labor.

And they told you how noble immigration is.

And you bought it.

[primeval patriot]

American citizens not willing to take jobs.

(I see a pattern here)

[Rebelbase]

"This is supposed to be a live thread about the President's speech, but it seems to be a bashing party, so I'm leaving"

Listen, I drank the Kool-Aid and i'm still alive. It doent hurt, I promise.

[ohioWfan]

Excuse me, Kevin, sweetie......was that a nice thing to say to someone who's never said an unkind word to you??

[WackyKat]

I was making $18 hour as a house painter in Michigan... they were paying $2 an hour to illegals for this work in Los Angeles....

That's why this whole thing is a farce and will only make things much, much, worse

[Neets]

Sighhhhhhhhhh,, maybe later when I can home i can filter out the riff raff and get to what he actually said.

:-(

[primeval patriot]

No Americans can be found to fill the jobs.
