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. Quit hating the President and start fighting for the Country. The good news about losing is you get to start over.
Pray for W and Our Troops
"yam" ....... "sweet potato" ..... what's the difference?
;-)
Youd hate him no matter what he put through, so get over it and start fighting Dems as hard as you fight the President.
Pray for W and Our Troops
But, do you like a straight democracy? How would you vote on this......... by the state?
What if the majority of Americans still favored that women not vote?
Hey, that's a good idea.
;-)
His actions don't say that.
And still no secure of the border.
****
He also said no animosity.
;-)
Yep,
Actions speak louder then words
ROFL ........ great post.
Actions not B.S.
I've seen no actions to stop illegals or remove those already here.
Yes angry folks will take it out on Repubs tor their inaction.
"It is time to move past this and fight the Dems. Quit hating the President and start fighting for the Country."
It's not about hating the president. He should be defending our borders, end of story. If this were Clinton in office during this proposed amnesty fiasco, the conservative websites would be reaming him as the Biggest Benedict Arnold of our time. I think we're being more than fair in asking that Bush rethink his position. And supporting the troops abroad requires that we protect our borders at home.
You are wrong ther bray. I have supported President Bush from the start. I feel he is wrong on a couple of issues.
Stopping illegals and kicking out Illegals already here. Failure to push a conservative agenda such as at least making partial birth abortion against the law of the land and you make stupid statements because I refuse to be a sheep and support his every move means I hate him no matter what?
Great there pal.
Bahh Bahh.
I was looking at your page.............. excellent.
Some people say the Illuminati, the funny Bohemian Grove characters, etc. ............ are all fiction. I don't think so.
Your Heinlein's, "One man’s 'magic' is another man’s engineering" sort of tells me that the "elite" are pretty great engineers themselves, for most of the citizens say they are nonexistent.
LOL.
The fall of the ROMAN EMPIRE!
So what have you ever supported the President on?? Too bad you dont fight Dems with the same vigor.
Pray for W and Our Troops
So what, we lost the border issue end of story. He has lowered taxes and is trying to win Iraq. The border is dead and you guys killed it.
Go campaign for Tranquedero and quit trying to divide.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Nothing new about this man, he would sell his mother for a crack at higher office.
Well, here's a big "duh". Now, what are you going to do about it? If the US is somewhere in the Rome 400 AD range, then do you continue to pound your head against a wall or get in while the getting is good?
You'll know the final stage is upon us when conservatives finally get the picture and jump on the bandwagon. The key is portable assets so that you can scadaddle off to wherever you want.
I agree, should never have been elected in the first place. All that crawling to get to the polls, what a wast.
Here are a few reasons:
The US Chamber of Commerce and big/small businesses want the free flow of cheap, available labor. Business contributes heavily to the politicians.
Labor unions see "undocumented workers" as the savior of their flagging infuence and a source of new members. The unions contribute heavily to the politicians.
Dems see "undocumented workers" as future [and probably current] voters who are largely Hispanic and members of the fastest and largest minority in America. It will cement their hold on power for generations. Many influential groups like La Raza contribute heavily to the politicians.
When you get a perfect storm of such disparate interest groups, is it any wonder that the politicians are willing to thumb their nose at public opinion? We are going to get "comprehensive immigration reform" whether we like it or not.
