I searched but did not see a thread already open for tonights speech. I think this is the most important speech the President will probably make for the remainder of his term.


Mod Note:
This could turn into a whack-a-troll thread. All immigration trolls that would like to participate should post here. It'll be interesting to see if we mods can whack the trolls faster than they can sign up new accounts.

In reality, I don't think he has the authority to post the NG on the borders... it was tried before and shot down. If they are there to provide support so more agents can get in the field, I think that's a clever way around that problem...

Could be wrong, but that's my two cents.

My hope too, since the relased remarks, didn't surprise me nor satisfy me.

But I thought enough of Dubya to vote for him twice, so I owe him the respect of listening to what he has to say.

And I'll do it off line its too important of a speech to try and follow the cheerleading for either side as he gives it.

Militarized borders != start a war. Most borders in the world are militarized to some degree.

Especially the Mexico-Guatemala border...

I am curious why this speech is at 8 Eastern. It must suck at times to live in the Western and Mountain times zones. I suspect when the President speaks live many people(the ones he trying to reach out to) will still be in there cars trying to get home.

Oh yes is, Dane! The moment they set foot across that border, it will be their path to earned citizenship. They won't be sent home, and more are on the way..Buckle up!

PS..my husband just came in from work, and said if Bush even mentions these people are here to do the jobs Americans won't do, he's got his barf bag ready! He picked tobacco in the CT. valley and did construction in HS..and got paid very well..

The combination of that..and the concept of the speech being released before hand...that makes it easier for some people to not listen to it.

American's are being underestimated on the subject. I find it sad that we are being ignored/taken for granted by our elected officials.

i think what should happen is that we the American's should get to vote on what should be done, this shouldn't be up to congress and the Presidant!

98% of the credit (a rough estimate) should go to Spiff.
