many will be bused or flown back to their home towns which can be hundreds of miles away

Bullshit. Who's going to pay? How will you know where they came from?

Heck that title might as well be some FReepers views as well, mine included. He has been "soft" on illegal immigration.

[Pylot]

Jorge Bush wants to talk tough and give amnesty.

It is as disingenuous as anything Clinton ever did.

[Russ]

Kindly refrain from vulgarity to make your point. By the way, what was your point?

[ncountylee]

Sent Chertoff an email including a time and address where a group of illegal aliens will be doing yard work. I can see this from my house.

Bush really has failed this country on this issue. What he is doing is just stroking what is left of his conservative base. Nothing of any consequence will happen -- it is the last thing he wants. What a crock of BS.

[liberallarry]

I don't consider "bullshit" to be vulgarity. In current parlance among adults it's a quite acceptable response to transparent nonsense...and that is my point. Too much of what the President is offering is transparent nonsense.

When you go back and "replay" all of his campaign promises, including fixing the illegal situation (whatever that really meant -- now we know) he has turned out to be VERY DISINGENUOUS.

I will believe it when the Mexican border is militarized.

The president noted that "several million" migrants had been expelled since America began raising security on its southern border after the September 11 attacks.

Those must be the "several millions" whose trip was temporarily delayed after a chance encounter with the Border Patrol.

[Bush] said: "You see, you got people sneaking into our country to work. They want to provide for their families. Family values do not stop at the Rio Grande river. People are coming to put food on the table."

I see George is still playing that same ol' broken record.

[NixonsAngryGhost]

Bush is wearing a suit made to exact NEOCON measurements. Maybe Wolfowitz made it for him.

[chris1]

"Our goal is clear: to return every single illegal entrant, with no exceptions."

Very Clintonian sunce this could mean all future illegal entrants while those here already are legalized.

[sarasmom]

President Bush wants open borders.
I, and about 85% of the USA population don't want open borders.
Thus the current low ratings of POTUS.
The usual suspects can call me what they will, but unlike them, I do take POTUS at his word. When I cast my vote for him, it did not mean I elected him king.
I, and the vast majority of the population of the USA vehemently disagree with his stated intentions regarding illegal immigration.
The House and the Senate will either act as our elected representatives, or get themselves fired in the next election cycle.
This issue is too big now for the usual do-nothing political partisan BS platitudes from the MSM and the politicians.God bless the grassroots level border patrol members, and may God damn those who falsely label them vigilantes!

[blam]

AMEN!

[A. Pole]

This would give large numbers of temporary visas to Hispanic workers, allowing them to stay in the US while filling gaping holes in the booming labour market.

We cannot allow market forces to raise the wages.

[Peace will be here soon]

"illegal entrant"

Entrant? Something fishy about the use of that word.
