And no @#$%$#@#$%$#@ guest worker program. That will do nothing but throw open the flood gates! Put up a damn wall and be done with it.

[kabar]

We will have a temporary worker program that will supplement the illegal worker program. Who is going to enfroce this program. We have laws on the books now to deport illegals.

[mtbopfuyn]

LOL!! Yeah....they're going to go home after being allowed to stay awhile....hahahhhaha....DREAMER

Yep.

[TheLion]

He is saying exactly what I thought he would. We need a lot more than another 6 thousand border agents if we are not going to have a fence.

[Soul Seeker]

Americans are not doing the jobs because corporations have depressed wages. Slave labor.

Now the Gues worker program. We can't deport all illegals here, we can't stop illegals from coming, but we're going to make sure on the honor system they go home? Right.

[citizen]

Lawful workers = lawful social service recipient.

[glasseye]

Doesn't he really mean "jobs Americans are not doing *for the wages a criminal immigrant will do the job"

[HoosierHawk]

Good catch.

[Pox]

Hmm, a change in nomenclature.

Now it's to do jobs that our employers can't find American's to work.

Now that's some sickeningly slick politician-speak.

hold employer to account
document fraud
better system for verifying
new id card - biometric technology
tamperproof card.

[hole_n_one]

OK........who broke the keywords function?

[Junior_G]

Huh? Guest-worker program will increase national security?

[VanDeKoik]

Im starting to think that we should have annexed the whole blanking place in 1848 when we had the chance.

[Major_Risktaker]

With a moat with FL gators.

Gators good, rattlesnakes can help to...

[mnehring]

While we may not all agree with his actions or positions, we MUST all agree that the DemonRats must NEVER, EVER again, be speaking from this office.

AMEN!

The arm chair quarterbacks are always going to find something to criticize, hell, I have many problems with his speech.. BUT.... Very few of us are in the position to have the information and the responsibility of PRESIDENT Bush.
Arm Chair Quarterbacking makes good web-sport but the responsibility of the free world isn't so easy.

[TomGuy]

A virtual fence and unmanned drones.

Wow, I feel safer tonight.

[mtbopfuyn]

Nothing, NOTHING, is tamper-proof.

[Halls]

I'm giving Bush a chance no matter what.

[fhlh]

the people are, that's for sure:)
