Bush Immigration Plan Borders On Treason

By Chuck Baldwin

Food For Thought From The Chuck Wagon

January 9, 2003 President George W. Bush wants to give some eight to ten million illegal aliens, most of them from Mexico, legal status. The plan would legalize these aliens as "temporary workers," which would allow them to work freely in the United States without fear of deportation. The plan is so disastrous to our country's well being and so fraught with potential risk to our country's security that the plan should be regarded as bordering treason!

Already, more than ten percent of Mexico's population is living illegally in the United States. If Bush's plan is actually implemented, that percentage would skyrocket. Our southern border is already an open sieve, as millions of Mexicans pour into our country. Bush's amnesty program (and that's exactly what it is, Bush's word games notwithstanding) would only be seen as a green light for millions more to invade our nation.

The financial drain on American taxpayers by these criminals is incalculable. Taxpayers will be paying for their food, health care, Social Security benefits, and education, plus all of the above for their dependents, from now on. Not to mention, the cost of law enforcement and loss of property due to the criminal conduct of these invaders.

Bush's amnesty plan is also a serious slap in the face to those would-be immigrants who are trying to migrate to America legally. There are thousands of decent, hard working people from around the world who are seeking entrance into the United States. Some of these are seeking political asylum. Some are fleeing persecution. Whatever their reasons, they are following the rules and obeying the laws. Now, they must wait and watch as President Bush pushes criminals to the front of the line.

Furthermore, to grant illegal aliens legal status jeopardizes the security of the United States and makes us more vulnerable to terrorism. The very fact that an illegal alien is here proves that he or she cares nothing for America's laws. It demonstrates an intrinsic callousness that dare not be ignored.

Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-CO, rightly said that Bush's plan is "dangerous and unworkable." Investigative Journalist Jon Dougherty also predicts that "sustained high immigration levels from south of the border will continue to pose economic, labor, security, and criminal threats to the United States."

Giving illegal aliens and the corrupt American companies that knowingly accommodate them legitimacy is tantamount to the United States legalizing Al Capone's, or any other gangster's, "underground" enterprises. It is repulsive, disgusting, and unconscionable!

Beyond that, the reason President Bush is attempting to legalize millions of illegal Mexicans seems nothing at all but an undisguised ploy to pick up votes for his reelection. Therefore, it should be obvious to all Americans that this president is willing and eager to put America's future largely in the hands of foreign criminals. Every American should give that thought serious deliberation!

Chuckie is blowing smoke or on something I suspect. He gives no basis for that statement whatsoever. Depending upon whose numbers you use there are some 10 million or so attributed to be in the US illegal.... The Census allows maybe 50% or so to be from the Americas South of the US Border with Mexico having the largest share of them, maybe 60%+ or so. The next largest group is East/Southeast Asia at something less than 3 million..... the remainder is from around the rest of the world..... Also about 50% or more of the illegals enter the US legally with visas and never leave.... Students, workers, etc. The US never follows up and persues their deportation.

I knew I liked him for some reason. The concept of "standing on principal" has become an inside joke to both party's politicians, an obstruction to practical deal-making while away from our view yet a concept they trade notes on when election cycles roll around.
The Constitution Party is looking better all the time, so long as they run a person better suited than the last one.
That guy was actually making the case for the Green Party candidate!

[Kay Soze]

If the only remaining difference between left and right is this nations defense then how will this bill help in the war on terror?

We currently only have ( apparently) 2000 Immigration guys that can check people out.

Now do you think its wise to now wise these limited resources to do checks on perhaps millions of immigrants from Mexico?

Or would it be better for this nation’s security to have them working on Arabs, Muslims?

Border authorities fear influx from Bush plan
By Jerry Seper
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Published January 8, 2004


“They said only 2,000 agents are available to review the millions of applicants that might be submitted. “
"When U.S. immigration officials were tasked with the responsibility of checking immigrants coming into the United States from the Middle East after September 11, it tied up all of INS' resources and caused significant delays," Mr. Cutler said. "When this country had problems trying to properly identify a few thousand people, how is it going to do the same with a few million?"

Right on!

I am glad that at least you agree that Bush would never do anything to deliberately hurt the country -- for political motives or any other motives, UNLIKE THE DEMOCRATS.

However:

"While Bush's plan, if enacted, would cause quite a disaster and the elimination of the middle class"


You are over reacting.


"Call me naive but I see it as more likely that he's very badly mistaken rather than harboring an outward hatred for this country."

Bush is also smarter than people give him credit -- I think people fail to notice that Bush is NOT giving the illegals any instant amnesty or instant green cards.

And people also ignore that NOBODY has any other realistic solution to the illegals already in the US -- it is not realistic to expect to send the police and the army to go house to house and search out the 12 million illegals in the country and drag them across the borders kicking and screaming.

Bush is doing the absolute best possible with a bad situation.

The main objective is to stop them at the borders, so more of them can't come in.

Bush is giviing them a chance to work -- he should be applauded by conservatives that he is NOT giving them a blanket amnesty. This way, productive people can work for a while, then maybe stay or maybe not, but he is not legitimizing those who are sitting here using up welfare. THIS is a key part.

How can you "border" on Treason? Either it is or it isn't. Baldwin has no guts.

[FairOpinion]

"TREASON? What the hell, let's each one of us try to outshout the other and be more outrageous than the one before. "

==

What more, let's all attack Bush and yell that he is committing "treason" and let's elect a Bin Laden and Saddam-loving Democrat instead, that'll show Bush.

Wait, we already did that, when the outraged conservatives elected Clinton, to punish Bush I. Guess who really got punished -- the country and all of us.

But let's do it again!

Bush isn't a good enough conservative, in the view of some, so let's elect Dean.

Great logic!

On one hand I can agree with you, but on the other...what do you call the act of sacrificing the best interest of America in order to gain the votes of a growing illegal population who has the best interests of their own country in mind?

You fell into that trap that once they obtain this "temporary work visa" they're automatically citizens. This work visa is not a drivers license, nor is it a voter card. Many states require drivers licenses to vote. The ones held to account are the businesses (large or small) who currently employ ILLEGALS. The ones who want to stay here to make a living will go out and apply for citizenship. The others who possess the card will get kicked the hell out by the business owner who hired them and the US government who granted the card, once the card expires. If the business owner doesn't kick them out, the US Government will penalize them and the illegal with the expired card.

Bush's plan is miles above the plan Gray Davis tried to pull on the voters of California..... Look where that got him.

[BigSkyFreeper]

What's so treasonous about documenting the undocumented? I don't get that. At first I didn't like the plan at all, but every time I read what Bush had said about it, I warm up to it.

Certifiable ..... that I'd agree with

Some facts about immigrants.>>>>>>>>

For the SECOND time today, PLEASE PROVIDE your LINK......

and WHY do you keep posting your *facts* about IMMIGRANTS on threads that are clearly discussing ILLEGAL immigrants, & the BURDEN they are to taxpayers.


Reagan's amnesty, granted in 1986, legalized 2.7 million immigrants.>>>>>>>

LOL.....he amnestized 2.7 MILLION ILLEGALS & some say 50% immediately signed up for welfare (do your own search)

"this is the most B.S. article i've ever read, and to say bush is bordering on treason is B.S."

Question: Hadn't Dubya sworn to uphold the Constitution at his inaugural?

[hunter112]

There's only one way to fight back, and that's for true conservatives to write in Tancredo in the NH primary. Bush got the message in 2000 when McCain won, maybe he'll get the message again.

We have nothing to lose by writing in Tancredo in the primary states.

[hedgetrimmer]

This policy anouncement is less about votes and more about the "haromonization" of mexico and the United States. YOu see the Summit of the Americas is next week. You will not see the text of president' bush's speech run here, but he will give a speech that describes how the United States is going to implement the policy determined by the 1998 Summit of the Americans on migrant workers. In that policy statement, business interests and nongovernmental agencies established that what they call "migrant" (read illegal) workers should be able to keep any social security money paid while working in the united states and that it was important that the flow of remittances ( the money the illegals send out of country) be maintained at a high level as possible.

Now Bush will speak next week and tell the members of the summit conference that the social security is a done deal and that the open border to illegals will insure that remittance money will keep flowing South.

In case you didn't know, remittance is globalist speak for wealth redistribution through foreign aid. Yes the remittance is foreign aid and it is so thoroughly relied upon by our southern neighbors that they can add up to 50% of the GDP. Since when is the American taxpayer required to bolster the GDP of a foreign nation by subsidizing illegal workers? Since the executive branch started to go around congress and make policy with international nongovernmental organizations.

The important thing to remember is that the treason plays out outside borders as well as the inside. when a group of business people and nongovnermental organizations from foreign countrys set policy that is implemented by our president, ignoring the fact that Congress is the only body that should set foreign relations and trade, you are seeing treason of the highest level and a complete usurpation of the balance of power between Congress and the executive office. You see, the president no longer needs Congress to set foreign policy. He has the summit of the Americas to do it for him. He doesn't need Congress to vote on it either, because other departments like the treasury department acceptance of the matricular consular card, implement it without congressional authority.

[texastoo]

This is what the term "national debate" has been reduced to.

During the 2002 election, the word was put out by the RNC and Rove that immigration would not be a subject of discussion. We, conservatives, were silenced by the Republicans who thought the election was more important than our country's sovereignty.

You are now seeing the results of trying to control and silence a free people.

[texastoo]

A good post!

You explained it well. As a matter of fact, the Mexican newspapers reported that V. Fox talked on the phone with Bush prior to yesterday's speech. It looks like Bush is not going to do anything with congress until he talks in person with V. Fox.

I had to reread your post 3 times to comprehend it all. However, what you have said has made sense.
