One part of the speech REALLY caught me by surprise about the mexican marine in Walter Reed.
Do you mean to tell me that non-citizens are able to enlist and be expected to defend our country?
I was under the impression that you HAD to be a US citizen in order to serve in our armed forces.
This calls for the biggest WTF EVER.
Dubya will go down as one of our great presidents.
Yes, that's what I said - but that when he said there was a middle ground between them, he did not elaborate other than to tell us that we need to be in that middle ground = somewhere. I don't like the sound of it. I hope I'm wrong.
Ack!!! Forgot Italics Off !!!!
"- I tend to like illegals, because they're hard workers."
Was the Bracero program started in 1945 "amnesty"?
Ugh.
A really sad state of affairs indeed.
That's incredible.
I have to log off--to get kids to bed--but in my misspent youth, traveling across America, we stopped at Big Bend park. It was gorgeous! Texas has some starkly beautiful scenery. (btw, I hope I'm remembering correctly that Big Bend is in Texas, LOL!)
It was an excellent speech. He summarized the problem very well, and outlined logical steps to correct it. The Senate should get its act together, and Congress should have legislation on Bush's desk fast!
I think the use of troops should be more aggressive than what the President said, meaning more of them, and faster.
Lou Dobbs is so upset he is shaking...
I agree but these hyper active anti amnesty weirdos will say otherwise. They want a Speaker Pelosi. President Bush is a good and decent man trying to do the right thing by all the people, the real people whose lives are being affected by this legislation.
It has been removed!
Excuse me! The Trail of Tears was perpetrated against the original inhabitants of this country.
You insult all Native Americans by comparing them to lawbreaking Mexicans.
Troll?, Yeah probably.
Welcome to FR newbie.............
don't agree that it was a great speech, but that's funny!!
I am embarrassed to be associated with them as "republicans" anyway.
You're a moderate at best anyway, so why don't you join the Dems rather than be embarrassed by the true conservatives in the party. You don't help the Pub party; you are part of the problem.
I posted on it earlier. My father and my grandparents legally migrated here in 1960. In 1966 my dad was told (on a green card) to go to Vietnam, or go back home, so he went to Vietnam.
There are all sorts of trolls rolling thru FR. I can spot em a mile away.
