Why would our President who is to uphold and defend the Constitution by his solemn oath tell America that ISLAM is a religion of peace ?
Why? Because [IMHO] this country the land of the free and home of the brave the melting pot of world is also that melting pot for muslims from every stretch of the world to come out as president and say that Islam is evil would put every muslim at odds with every other american who dont believe in islam it would start an internal struggle and eventually a civil war within our borders !
Why would he give a so called worker status to mexico ? for the very same reason 12 million mexicans on this side of the border and countless other millions on the other side depend on the American money they send home [ granted these monies are sometimes ill gotten like social security not worked for and earned or forms of welfare not rightly deserved but still the same its American currency] it feeds their economy !
Now putting troops on the border is a good idea to check those coming across to work but putting them their to cut off the flow is a bad idea [IMHO] and heres why .
Mexico to most people is still in many places a third world country under a socialist rule they have no economy to speak of none that would sustain their millions of people so they come to America to work and feed their masses back home if we cut off the flow of workers from mexico we would literally starve and ruin millions of families granted not all are of the nature of working for family but i would think most are ! we would essentially start a war with a border country what do you think starving people with hungry children would do for food they would fight for it to the death .
I think GWB has good intentions but there needs to be a better plan of action than just this worker program .
My idea would be to annex mexico although i don't think they would agree to it but its just my idea !

It is in the pride mainstream Americans take in their history; their founding fathers; the Constitution, which reflects the unique values of their history and founding fathers, etc.; that enables the decent to rally against the wiles of the demagogues, playing on discontent, seeking to buy support with special interest legislation. Without that sense of heritage, of family heritage, the battle is over. The Clintons--and damn the new Clinton, Karl Rove--will run roughshod over the debris of the American Republic--once they achieve true "multi-culturalism."
The reality is that 10,000,000 Mexicans, are 10,000,000 people with no interest in the legacy of Washington and Jefferson, Adams and Madison--and certainly not of a Jeffersonian named Sam Houston, down in Texas. The 10,000,000 Mexicans might be the brightest, most hard working people on the face of the earth (for the sake of argument). Their heritage is one that sees itself as having been victimized by ours. Only a moron or someone truly despicable would suppose that we would not pay a terrible price, if we allow our politicians for imagined benefit of the moment, to seriously shift the ethnicity of America in this manner.
No it is not "politically correct." And why is that so? Because the whole "politically correct" syndrome has been concocted by the Left to prevent a reassertion of American national values; values which are totally inconsistent with Socialism; with World Government; with any and all of the prime objectives of the modern Left.
The time for pussy-footing around these issues has to stop, or we are going to lose the war. It is that simple. Once the percentage of those who do not feel a part of the American tradition that flows from those settler peoples who created the traditional America reaches a critical level, you will really see the politicians move Left. And we will be powerless to stop them, short of another Revolution.
