Boehner hints a back down on 'amnesty'
The Washington Times ^ | March 29, 2006 | Charles hurt

Posted on 03/29/2006 7:15:28 AM PST by surely_you_jest

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.

President Kerry would have never allowed this to be a problem. If many fools that post her get their way, President Hillorat will be just as tough.
Golly, so happy you fools will be helping my grandcritters to have to deal with the same troubles we have

This is uniting the country, it's one of the only subjects that 80% of the people agree on. The only people it's dividing is the Bush-Bots from the rest of the country.

Please point to Bush's Policy as Governor concerning the law enforcement community ignoring the law.

Please point to the sieve that was the Texas border under Bush's watch and show me how, in writing, that indicates that border control has ever been any priority of Bush's.

Holocaust deniers play this game of yours. "Please show me a written order from Hitler demanding the Holocaust. Concentration camps and where the Jews of Europe vanished to is just 'anectodal evidence'. I will only believe a written order signed by Hitler."

The only one who's not living on this planet is you and all of you FROBL buddies, who are under the impression that legalizing 12 million-which, when you include all of their "family" is really 20-25 million-mostly third world illegal aliens is going to make this country better.

Please indicate the date and time of any phone calls or other communication transmissions that Bush gave to law enforcement to ignore the law. If you can't find the communications then point out the law enforcement officer(s) that make this claim that Bush told them not to enforce the law. I'm not the one that claimed it was "Bush's Policy".

this "jobs no American will do" mantra is pure BS.

So I guess today you will be applying for a job as a vegetable picker.

Well, at least they're right about one thing.

I think unless we control the border to stop the flow, it will never be solved because we will just keep importing these people.

That is why GWB and the Senate's plan are a miserable joke.

I am waiting to see what the final bill looks like, as well as what comes out of the meetings going on in Cancun.

Sometimes the "informed sources" on both sides of this debate are completely wrong. The media is interested in stirring the pot, the unions are mucking around in this issue, and there is a presidential election in Mexico in July. There are lots of external forces and players in this, and it is simply too early to either claim victory or write this off as a sell-out.

So, I am waiting to see what happens.

Oh please. GWB, BY HIS ACTIONS and INACTIONS, has made it very clear that he has ZERO intention about stopping the flood of illegals.

Again, we're going to have to ask you to leave. This thread is only for knee-jerk, exaggerated hysteria. Or those looking for a great deal on backyard bunkers!

It's kind of hard to get to the 10th floor without starting at the lobby level. My conversation has nothing to do about Bush's Action or Inaction but is about the claim that Bush has a "policy" for law enforcement is to ignore the law. For the past 10+ years here in Texas we have had round-up after round-up and it just never seems to stop so to claim that it's "Bush's Policy" to allow law breakers is a bit disingenuous. Now if one wants to claim that he should do something different or crack down harder then that would be an acceptable argument.

Stopping?

He's enabled and encouraged the flood.

If he were merely indifferent to the issue it would be a 140% improvement upon the status quo.

Southack has already tried countless times to show you and others how utterly ignorant these claims are. So, since you bunker brigade boys really have no interst in dealing with facts, I'll now cue the banjo music and step back in to mock your ignorance.

So tell me, Bubba, is there a requirement to be a double-digiter, or do the perpetually stupid just end up in your militias because they're so easy to manipulate?

LOL

By the way. The guy in your picture gets drunk, gets pissed at his wife, holds a gun to his head and shouts, "DON'T LAUGH! YOU'RE NEXT!"
