I'm really puzzled at the lack of action by our current admin.

Just read about the Texas border clash this weekend, I hope the Mexican Army (alleged of course -wink-) presence will spur some in DC to rethink their Mamby-Pamby handling of our National Security.

Mix this ongoing issue with Bush 41 and 43's recent comments regarding Clinton and his newfound 'cozy' relationship to the family and I just feel disgusted...

Melhman and the GOP can kiss my donations goodbye until there's a logical and sane attempt to secure our National Borders. I urge my fellow Freepers to do the same, sadly money talks and they will listen if enough support wanes because of their leadership failure on this issue.

I was just down to TJ last week and you can see the men taking up their positions at noon for their crossing attempts that night... blatant, without a care, casual as if they were out for a stroll.

Consider it done. I've received yet another letter from the RNC asking for money (when will they get the hint! The more I say 'no', the more letters I get!). I make it very clear that they will get no more money and no more votes until illegal immigration is stopped.

Ok, here's my pat response that I print out each time I get asked for money for the Republics. I don't think it's strong enough because each time I send them, I get back even more requests for money. Any help beefing it up would be appreciated. (I did want to keep it short and sweet so it would actually be read and the message understood.)

Dear RNC,

I will not be supporting the Republican Party any more, either financially or with my vote, until you start demanding that the already existing illegal immigration laws be enforced.

I am, instead, sending any money I would have contributed to you to the Minutemen Project. They are the patriots who have the courage and conviction to do what our current administration refuses to do.

Sincerely,
me

ps. And I am waiting for President Bush to issue an apology to the Minutemen for calling these heroes 'vigilantes'.

Just doing that "nation building" he said he would never do. Right here at home - the "new America" is on its way.

We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.

Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.

You can read the speech here.

Here is a good critique of that speech:

In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on.
