The Coming Amnesty Disaster (Michelle Malkin)

Last month, President Bush signed off on a few dog-and-pony illegal immigrant employment raids. Whoop-de-doo. Politically expedient holiday gestures over, the White House is now back to work pushing its long-planned, massive alien amnesty. The state of the borders, green card process and entrance system for visitors and tourists? Porous. Chaotic. Understaffed. And overwhelmed.

But no matter. Mouthing his same old, bogus platitudes about the need to allow "undocumented workers" to do the job Americans won't do (never mind all those Americans who immediately lined up to apply for those meatpacking jobs after the December raids), Bush wants to pile millions of new "guest worker" illegal alien applicants onto the teetering homeland security bureaucracy.

The results will be disastrous. What President Bush didn't mention in the State of the Union address is that every part of the current legal immigrant applicant machinery that would be tasked with implementing the "guest worker" illegal alien amnesty is backlogged and broken.

Last November, congressional investigators reported that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) had lost track of 111,000 files in 14 of the agency's busiest district offices and processed as many as 30,000 citizenship applications last year without the required files.

.............

"It only takes one missing file of somebody with links to a terrorist organization to become an American citizen," Grassley, who is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, noted in The Washington Post. "We can't afford to be handing out citizenship with blinders on."

Or legal status. Multiply that by several million in the case of Bush's guest worker program. Can you spell d-i-s-a-s-t-e-r?

It is time to move past this and fight the Dems.

And you can stick it in your ear, if this passes hell will freeze over before I vote for another republican.

[beyond the sea]

You are a nut job.

LOL.... well thanks. I do raise chestnut trees, but............

You, on the other hand, are just simply a shiver looking for a spine to run up.

Get it?

****

Pretty funny, eh?

" I think the old bumper sticker line "Don't Vote - It Just Encourages Them" was never truer than it is today"

****

SO PERFECT!!!!!!!!!

[Joe Boucher]

You most likely are correct. Illegals are the problem that just keeps on taking. Course bozos like bray think if you are critical in any way of this president then you must be totally anti President Bush.
No true but amnesty and a steady flow of illegals will be the death of the U.S.A> as we know it.
Screw this one world crap. How about America first.

[goldstategop]

Bush and the Democrats are on the same wavelength in their contempt for American sovereignty. We'll get amnesty, if not this year, then next year.

[sgtbono2002]

We are going to get immigrants whether we want them or not. Reform is another subject.

Right................and, there is no real reason for any citizen to try to make a stink about anything political.

It's all a fixed game, it's all black theatre, and I really cannot believe that so many people think that they have a voice in any of it. They do not.

It's way past time for an old fashioned revolution....... but that's not going to happen.

After all, everyone has their pizza and their video games.

What a country.

Just imagine how crappy all the other countries must be.

ROFL.

"This was going to happen no matter who was President..."

I couldn't disagree more strongly. There was polling that showed that over 80% of the American people were angry about illegal immigration and wanted something done about it. Bush's responsibility is to lead, not stand by and let the damage happen.

A strong president would have ridden the wave of public opinion to force Congress to deal strongly and immediately with the crisis. That's not what happened.

This country needs only three federal laws to fix the illegal immigration policy:

1. Make it a federal crime, punishable by a minimum one year in prison, to employ an illegal

2. Make it a federal crime, punishable by a minimum one year in prison to provide any taxpayer-funded social services to an illegal alien, except for critical, life-saving ER services. No college tuition breaks, no public school, no welfare, foodstamps, rent subsidies, no nothing.

3. Create a federal law to cut any funding or tax breaks for any city, state, or religious organization that provides assistance to illegal aliens. Use that law to immediately cut all funding, of any kind, for any city that establishes themselves as a "safe haven" for illegals.

Bush could have done a lot when the tide was in favor of something like this. But, he squandered an opportunity to save the county. And, I'm not overstating my feelings on this. I believe that illegal immigration will take this nation under, and in a relatively short time.

The only thing that will work is annexation; we've got room for one more star on that banner.

A strong President can get assassinated.

JFK............ Federal Reserve, CIA, Vietnam......... should I go on?

[beyond the sea]

Not a bad idea.

"they would learn how to obfuscate the arms flowing over the border of Iraq"

They're obfuscated pretty well already.

[org.whodat]

Are Republicans THAT stupid?

When you see posters who think the rats would try to pass this without the presidents and other pubs. support, you have your answer.

[dirtboy]

Anything she wants the President to do is DOA anyway, since we don't have the majority and the democrats are not interested in any type of border reform at all

Very disingenious of you. Bush could stop the nonsense with a veto. Instead, he will get from the Democrats what he couldn't get from the former GOP House - a shamnesty bill.

[Miss Marple]

No, I am serious. Anything she wants, even if the President would propose it, is DOA. As a matter of fact, the bill he proposed in the last Congress was pretty much DOA.

And he did sign the border fence bill.

But, as I said, now that the Rats are in charge I am sure we will get all sorts of border security, so hey, why worry?

[dirtboy]

Anything she wants, even if the President would propose it, is DOA.

Wrong. At this point, Malkin is quite aware we won't get the kind of border security that is needed from the Dems.

However, shamnesty will probably pass with Bush's signature. Bush could block it, but instead will encourage it.

[kellynla]

I don't know if you saw this.

...they lost, and they still don't admit it. Unbelievable!

Totally believable.

So long as they can get their agenda through with a different set of political playmates...the RATs...they still haven't lost.

W doesn't care what Americans want. He knows best.

[Paul Ross]

All we can do is vote these pieces of dog excrement out of office. By then the damage will have been done and there is not a damn thing we can do to avert this.

Too true...
