Boehner hints a back down on 'amnesty'

House Majority Leader John A. Boehner refused yesterday to rule out compromising with the Senate to expand the House border security bill to include a guest-worker program or provisions that opponents call "amnesty." "Let's wait and see what the Senate can produce," he told reporters yesterday when asked whether House Republicans would reject the Senate Judiciary Committee's proposal to allow the estimated 12 million illegal aliens now in the U.S. to seek citizenship after paying a fine.

I'm not an agriculture expert, as you claim to be, but Austarlia seems to have most of it's agriculture in livestock.

Livestock doesn't require a lot of people since a few cowboy's can take care of a huge herd(etc.etc), it's not the labor intensive endeavor as picking fresh vegetables and produce.

I wish there was a kryptonite we could put at the border to keep Fox's hordes out.

now LP....it's just no fun without Todd's rants.....lol

I thought he was banned from the IntraWebz...forever.

:0)

[Cboldt]

I think I recall reading something like 6 million have been deported ...

That's credible. Some fraction of them return. But as a fairly uninformed observer (yep), raw numbers are unsatisactory illumination on the issue.

ROFL

Keep writing like this, and soon you'll be asked to go write speeches for George Bush!

I agree the writing is good but it's not quite there yet. Aside from denigrating Americans, you have to label them, "vigilantes" or "racists" or something. You also have to insinuate that Americans are lazy idiots... "jobs Americans won't do" and such. A touchup here and there and it's ready for a Bush speech.

For instance, consider the numbers of employers who received formal letters warning about possible fines for violating immigration laws:

Under Clinton in 1999: 417 employers
Under Bush in 2003: 3 employers

Well, you can't say that GWB hasn't done anything at all. It's not like there were only two letters. Or just one letter.

[trubluolyguy]

Instead it is creating division within our country and alienating the Mexicans, which could be a problem for us down the road.

We should give a $hit about Mexico or Mexicans because...?

Pretend you don't know what an anchor baby is.

I know what an anchor baby is, and if you want to stop the practice you are either going to get rid of or amend the 14th amendment.

>>>>>BS; he speaks in Spanish sometimes, but only after he's spoken in English and he never gives entire speeches in Spanish.

Bush gives radio addresses in Spanish on a regular basis, and the White House webpage has a Spanish version.

What is BS is having a president who speaks to Americans in a foreign language. One can't imagine, say, Teddy Roosevelt ever doing such a thing. In fact, TR would have considered it treasonous.

[Petronski]

I for one will be truly sorry to see you go.

Why is it always the clever ones?

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

This is precisely the problem.

We're looking to other nations to solve our problem.

As far as I know there is no analogue to the situation between us and Mexico, i.e. one of the world's superpowers sitting opposite a country with a stagnant economy, where half of the population wants to emigrate.

However, if pressed I would have to say that John Howard and Australia have done a pretty good job in this regard.

[BigSkyFreeper]

That Jorge stuff persuades me everytime.

It's a red flag.

LOL --- Oh come on, all 1528? SOME are pretty darn GOOD!

Good points. I hope junior g reads you post before he submits a writing sample to the White House.

the clowns are very very catty

...in a clinically psychotic sort of way.

[Howlin]

Of course, anyone who cares to go back and read the whole exchange will see that I did no such thing.

FREE SPEECH. It's ours, thanks to the Founders. Our to exercise and ours to tolerate, even when used UGLY against us by people in our great country ILLEGALLY.

Indeed. But 'free speech' doesn't extend to foreign nationals invading our country and raising their country's banner over our public buildings.

Apparently, it does. Have you seen ANY of them arrested?
If so, PLEASE post the pics and articles here.

Not that it matters, since your comments are out of sync with what we were talking about, but here you go anyway:

I don't suppose you can find a picture of them with a FLAG, can you, since that's what you're claiming should be done.

For all we know, they are legal and were busted for drugs.

Put up or shut up.

She asked you why none had been arrested and you tried to pass off a picture of some Mexicans boys.

I can assume that once again your mouth has written a check you can't cash.

Here's the caption that you're trying to pass off as something it's not.

Which country's immigration and worker program do you think is the best?

I personally like the policy that gives ME carte blanc. Especially if the host country is Italy.

As a matter of what is in any given country's best interest, all countries will assert a right to control immigration. But the program is to reduce those barriers and eliminate nationalism.

[Mojave]

I know what an anchor baby is, and if you want to stop the practice you are either going to get rid of or amend the 14th amendment.

Or close the border. Or actually read the 14th Amendment.
