BUSH'S IMMIGRATION PET PHRASES
michellemalkin.com ^ | 12/20/2004 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 12/20/2004 12:21:42 PM PST by nanak

After the White House news conference this morning, Bill Kristol on Fox News praised President Bush's remarks about "immigration reform" as "eloquent." Beg to differ. The president's open-borders statements were empty, garish platitudes strung together sloppily like cheap Christmas lights:

Illegal aliens "do the job Americans won't do." President Bush used that dog-tired phrase about a half-dozen times during today's press conference as he defended his impending illegal alien amnesty plan. Mark Krikorian effectively puts this mindless rhetoric to rest here.

"Family values don't stop at the Rio Grande." Uh huh. Well, terrorists and gang members and drunken murderers and cop-killers don't stop there either. And based on past and recent experience, granting amnesty to 13 million law-breakers will only result in more illegal immigration, not less.

We need immigration reform that "recognizes reality." Rank-and-file immigration enforcement officials give a real reality check on the amnesty debacle here, here, and here.

As immigration enforcement veteran/former U.S. prosecutor Peter Nunez put it:

[W]e need to stop the talk of a coming amnesty, or of a guest worker program, both of which, by themselves, serve to encourage additional illegal immigration. What kind of message are we sending when we dangle that possibility before people desperate enough to put their lives at risk? Doesn’t this kind of talk also indicate that we really don’t care much about law breaking, that we don’t really care that much about the rule of law, that these immigration laws exist only as a token objection to the violation of our sovereignty? Now, that is eloquent.

Seriously, could we have been worse off with Kerry?

GOP Congress would have likely resisted JFK amnesty schemes, yet stands a good chance of approving the same perfidy from this stammering clown.

The open borders lobby CHAIRMAN = President BUSH

Sad but true. He's allowing an actual invasion into America (15? million people) without firing a shot.

"Family values don't stop at the Rio Grande."

SO sick of hearing that.

Yawn. Just another "Bush is a traitor because he won't kick all the Mexicans out of the U.S. so I can get a job" thread.

And their patron St. Michelle is leading the way.

Of course by the time this thread is over I(Dane) will be accused of being pro-islamofascist, anti-sikh, and replies saying that I hate Michelle Malkin because she is Asian.

Exactly right. No one better to vote for and we're stuck with this nonsense for four years.

It's gone far beyond typical, simple political nonsense.

The worst part about all of this is that I voted for Bush in both 2000 and 2004. The only reason Bush got my vote in 2004 was because Kerry was such an Anti-American/Anti-Military POS. But I am starting to wonder if there is any real Difference between Kerry and someone who wants to sell our country and culture out to the highest bidder. One bitten twice shy, I will never make that mistake again.

No such job exists.

It's just that employers can save a LOT of money by hiring illegals.

As long as employers are hiring illegals, it proves the benefits of doing so outweigh the perceived risks.

Yeah right you voted for Bush in 00 and 04. Give me a break.

You probably, IMO, voted for Buchanan in 00(0.4% of the Presidential vote) , and Peroutka(0.2% of the Presidential vote), in 04.

Please don't and stop considering the majority of people on FR as fools.
