Check Out Lou Dobbs on CNN Cable right now – he’s really tearing into the Illegal Alien Amnesty of Bush!

If you’re not tuned in, check it out right now, Lou Dobb’s on CNN Cable is really hitting the pertinent points regarding illegal aliens as well as the Bush amnesty. If you missed it, hopefully it will re-air later tonight, on CNN cable. I believe this man truly is a fighter and advocate for the interests of the workers and labor in this country the USA – he is asking very direct questions about the problems of illegal immigration from Mexico, and though he may be a Democrat he presents the news in a superb manner, in this case brings an exciting and significant forum of news events discussion and coverage (Faceoff on CNN, as well as other CNN programs featuring this host). He really got my blood going, he was right on and no fan of illegal immigration.

I don’t want to hear the Mahatma Gandhi insult/quote from Hillary again, not even from the so-called conservative shows/hosts. There is only one issue to cover, and that is the Buffalo that Bush has pulled on all conservatives and Americans. You know, some folks say the Democratic Party is dead. Maybe so. But, maybe not, in that, I would wager, if some Democratic candidate, spokesperson, politician (with a D next to the name) went back to early Democratic Party roots, and focused on the interests of American workers, that is hit on the issues of exporting American jobs to India et all, off shore outsourcing, and yes, what the invasion of illegal aliens from South of the Border is doing to undercut living wage jobs in the USA for labor, I would predict this person would rise like a comet, a meteor, and could very well take the White House. Would the Democratic Party make such a swing away from the left “progressive” wing to become a party that advocates American Workers First? I think it is possible, not immediate, but possible, and probable to come. It’s all a matter of which party gets on this wave first – the Republicans or the Democrats. I predict, that will be the Party that will sweep America. Don’t think so?

I think so. I think that these issues, Made in America, Jobs in USA, American Workers First, illegal aliens, Bush type amnesty, exporting American jobs, offshore outsourcing, are, and will become even more, THE issues of the next four to eight years, and more.

I am outraged by Buffalo Bush.

How dare that man say that I would not do the jobs, any job it takes, to put food on the table of my family. How dare that man say such a thing. That I am a lazy American, and the only Mexicans who come here illegally have the character to do a job, any job, to put food on the table for their family. He can go to Mexico and not come back. My forefathers lived in a wooden box pulled by a horse with a canvas for a roof called a horse drawn wagon, to go somewhere, to put food on the table. My forefathers worked in dirty mines, chucking broken quartz and rock into wagons, to put food on the table. I will do the job, I will get up on someone’s roof and put up shingles, I will paint a wall, I will pick up garbage, to put food on the table for my family. I am an American. And I am proud. And I have the character to do anything it takes. How DARE this President say I won’t do the job it takes if that is what it takes to put food on the table for my family. How DARE he say that. I am an American. I will work. My character, and the character of my forefathers, brought the FREEDOM of this nation, not some illegal alien from Mexico. I will put MY character up against them any day, any place.

Against any one.

Including you, Mr. Bush.

I think there is work for which employers are unwilling or too cheap to pay for at American wages

If you won't mind paying $6 per lb for your fresh vegetables and fruit, then your idea would be great!

Only problem, since Americans won't pay $6 per lb for their produce, then imported vegetables will continue to overtake the sales of domestic ones.

I think most Freepers have stayed off the site today because of this. I notice it's the same screamers on every thread, saying the same thing, misinterpreting the same things, twisting this proposal into something it's not.

What did he pull?

I thank God that these morons are such a small percentage of the GOP now. Back when Pat Buchanan was still around, they had a much bigger say. They also didn't win much of anything.

Me effing too.

Our President is destroying this country. I've been a lifelong Pubbie since 1964. I'm thinking of switching and going for the Liebermeister. Allowing ILLEGAL immigrants legal status is against the law. Where is John Ashcroft on this issue?

Damn, I am so pissed-off at W that I switch the channels from Fox to CNN and back, just so I don't even want to hear this sell-out by a man that I loved as Commander-in-Chief.

If he could combine that with a pitch to the environmentalists over the damage that overpopulation is doing to our environment, he could own that crowd as well.

There's no such thing as overpopulation.

You actually watch that tripe?

Try Fox. W was making a speech. A camera from CNN is recording the same words from W's podium as Fox. LISTEN to W's words.

The illegals were already here, now he gets their relatives living here legally to vote Republican and puts a stake in the heart of the Democrats in the process.

Wrong...They will vote Democrat, because the Democrats typically provide better social programs, health aid, medicaid, educational benefits. No, GWB just handed the Democrats the biggest socializing program since the Medicare Prescription Drug fiasco. Illegals and their families will now get free medical and educational services. Who pays? There are no free lunches. And the illegals don't make enough to pay for the benefits themselves. Thus, the middle class Americans will end up paying this bill.

Migrant agriculture workers seem to me the perfect example of jobs that most Americans would have a hard time adapting to.

Guess you didn't grow up in farm country?

....its not just on the farms doing stoop labor or in the milking barns on corporate farms...they are also taking jobs in the big processing plants..meat packing and vegetable canning..it's here that many Americans have been replaced...and now wont be hired...It isn't because Americans don't want these jobs..College students, high school students and house wives who worked during the seasons for extra money..and tuition. I earned college money this way my self...and so did many of the kids I went to school with..

Of course big outfits like the Clinton's best buddies Tyson Chicken...use a lot of Mexican labor and have been busted using illegals and underage illegal's children....

The Mexicans don't go back to Mexico anymore...they stay through the winter...and take advantage of state programs..education, health care and other state programs..to save money they live communally....in some small towns they are also a violent crime and property crime problem..

According to crime stats the illegals are also a source of drug trafficking...Mexican "red" methamphetamine making inroads among our local teens...

Once they are registered...the 'owners of the means of production' will have to carry them on insurance..pay them workman's comp...unemployment...social security disability...their cheap labor advantage is about to disappear I think...they are about to get very expensive...

One of the new 'migrants' around here wears a neat Teeshirt with a pic of Che Gueverra on it... makes one wonder what other business he has in America besides pickin apples or working in the food processing plant.. Wait till they get organized...

Naturally for all the problems we are about to incur because of them... tax payers will have to shell out even more...for our new Mexican outreach social program...

IMO

Well said.

As I look at the peanut gallery posts it is humerous that rather than address your statement you are being derided personally. Oh well...some just try to raise themselves by putting others down. Poor for them.

I voted for Pres Bush. I am glad he is the Pres at this point in history. I do not care for his position on the Illegal Invasion. I do not think there are any simple answers. Those here and established must be dealt with. Those coming in should be held accountable for breaking our laws. And it is IMPERATIVE to cancel the 'Anchor Baby' programs.

Good post.

GWB alienated a minumum of 10,000,000 of his conservative base by supporting this issue.

Highly unlikely.

Just calm down... You might want to read what Potus said. He said that any legislation has to be written by Congress. These are all ideas. Someone has to talk about this. 10+ million illegal immigrants are just not going to disappear and if you think Dims are using the Hitlerian comparions now on GW, wait till he even tries to deport a minuscule percent of people. There is a bigger plan at work here and just relax and wait for a few weeks. A bigger picture will emerge and Congres aint going to get this all into law. That is for sure..

Well... unless you are some leftist anti-WTO nut job, or, one of their like-minded supporters at FR.

I didn't hear Bush say any of those things. Are you off your meds?

W wants to give 8-13 million ILLEGAL immigrants the right to stay in this country.

If you break the speed limit or murder someone; haven't you broken the law? W is allowing amnesty to people who have illegally broken the law of immigration to this country.
