Some right wing assholes

There are times where I have to check my browser's address bar to make sure I am not on DU or Kos. This is one of them.

The border as it is is a joke. The rules of engagement are a joke. Something has to change.

I agree with this 100%.

I say they should BUILD THE WALL muy pronto...like NOW.

By the way, it is most likely the outrage of the "right wing assholes" that caused Bush to take the pardon idea seriously (if he really is).

I'm seeing Harriet Miers all over again. The Bush cognitive dissonance sufferers never gave us "right wing assholes" credit for Sam Alito. They'll somehow find some way to dismiss this too, no doubt.

Sadly, the Democrats will see to it that the Doors are thrown wide open.

The Trans Continental Super Highway comes later.

Bush will NOT pardon these men

Are you claiming that he is lying when he says he will consider it?

[jmc813]

Do you disagree with Bush's pardon of a meth dealer last month?

I have never said anything like shooting illegal workers. I only want us to get serious about some kind of border security. We are being laughed at by the drug cartels. God only knows who and what are just walking across the border every day. We simply have to get some kind of order to the process and stop the bad people. That's all.

I can't agree with you more on this.

We need to get control of the border.

You asked -- "And what are Thanksgiving turkeys guilty of, those who receive Presidential pardons ?"

Well, for me, they are guilty of being too tasty on Thanksgiving Day...

"God only knows who and what are just walking across the border every day. We simply have to get some kind of order to the process and stop the bad people. That's all."

The House and the Senate need to get back to this issue as soon as possible. It's undercurrent is like a rope pulling everything else down.

[Jim Robinson]

I'm sure the Democrat controlled congress is going to jump right on it.

[Earthdweller]

Get it over with quickly. It will hurt less that way.

I'm amazed that this is such a difficult issue to breach. I have never said that we should ban all immigrant workers. I could even live with some kind of amnesty program if there were no way bad people could apply for entry. This is such a no-brainer that only a pinhead would deny the need for some kind of border security.

In deference to the mods, I'd better not say that hostile criminals should be **** in the ***, so I will merely say that hostile criminals (this is not citrus pickers and chicken pluckers, mind you) should be forced to sit in the Comfy Chair. Until their timeout is finished.

I'm sure the Democrat controlled congress is going to jump right on it.

The Republican controlled congress certainly didn't do anything to help. At least one Republican committee chairman refused to investigate and mislead his fellow congressmen when they tried to investigate. The US attorney responsible for this travesty is a long time friend and associate of Bush and his family. This whole mess goes right to the top.

[FreePaul]

The House and the Senate need to get back to this issue as soon as possible.

The only reason we have to look for them to do something is the refusal of the Bush administration to enforce the laws we now have. That's bad enough but they have acted against those who try to enforce those laws.

The Puk needs the education.

Like I said, I'm sure the Democrat controlled congress will jump right on it (the illegal immigration issue).

"People need to take a tough look at the facts, the evidence a jury looked at, as well as the judge. And I will do the same thing," he said.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think the President will pardon them.
At least he has made a statement though...

[airborne]

Did my email make the difference?

Yes it did.

Thank you!

They are jumping on it.

If they have their way, soon the idea of a fence will be nothing but a memory of trying that went bad.
