"This clearly is an amnesty. It provides not only amnesty but a reward for people who committed a felony by coming here illegally," said Rep. Elton Gallegly, a California Republican.

"There will be substantial opposition from Republicans, Democrats and millions of ordinary Americans once they realize what's involved," Gallegly told Reuters."

"There will be substantial opposition from Republicans, Democrats and millions of ordinary Americans once they realize what's involved," Gallegly told Reuters.

He's right. Wouldn't it be ironic if this is the first bill GWB vetoes?

[chicagolady]

There is a GOD, There is a GOD!

[Pubbie]

Bush is hopeless on this issue - we need to call Congressmen where there is the most opposition to this thing - Don't Give Up!!!

[Pubbie]

Don't Give Up the Ghost Yet - The Battle Has Just Begun!!!

[KantianBurke]

Go Mr. G go!! Stop this BS in its tracks!

[futureceo31]

Its all calculated...No one said Bush isnt smart. It is not going to go through congress. And look at the last line of the proposal. "CONGRESS" has to write the legislation. This is doomed before it even starts...

[1stFreedom]

I think this program is ok if:

1. Federal and State income tax is withheld.
2. Medicaid fees are added as well as local town taxes to cover uninsured medical services.
3. A foreign worker payroll tax taken by local towns to cover the cost of educating the children.

In theory, this will help to pay for the "free" services given to illegals.

And, IMO, they do perform the jobs that nobody except felons, who can't get anything else, want.

That's what I said on another thread, half joking. If Congress has to sort this out, it will never make it to the President's desk. And all he has to do is say he tried. Boo hoo.

[stopem]

From the remarks I heard on talk shows dem's are all for this proposal and actually support it.
HUH? Why one has to ask?

Know what? As a Republican I can honestly say I do not support this proposal I am very much against it! Not that my opinion counts I guess.

[JudgemAll]

No taxes for our persecution
No taxes for Political Alibis

No selective prosecution of Americans
No selective Amnesty of Illegals

Amnesty for Americans
Save America, pay no taxes for your persecution
No taxes for persecuting children with your idols
The end is neigh, help your soldier, not the Political alibis

AMERICA IS NOT ZIMBABWE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No selective prosecution of Americans
No selective Amnesty of Illegals

[futureceo31]

And look at all the knee jerk reactions. Call Bush even Clinton. I mean, give me a break... He has tried to do things that he talked about in his campaign, and guess what is going to happen now.. The media is going to play to how the repbs are dissatisfied, and we know repbs will either vote for Bush or sit out the election and takes away attention from the Democrats... Beautiful....

[rintense]

The irony is just so... ironic! A Republican proposes it, the Dems love it, and the Republicans hate it. It will never make it out of the House. Of course, we can always count on our RINO friends in the Senate to vote with the Dems. Perhaps, just perhaps, GWB will use his veto power! Once can dream, huh?

[futureceo31]

Its not going to happen. Read his speech. "Congress" is going to write the legislation. Who writes legislation in Congress. The repbs and they are definelty against it and Bush is not going to strong arm them to do this...

[PISANO]

I sure hope the House deep sixes GW's proposal. I admire this President but this is just hard to comprehend.

[cake_crumb]

It's a non-starter because there isn't much IN there.
