Bush and many of those that we put in office are no longer bound to the electorate or even to reason. Instead, they now regard themselves as having privileged control of the populace, with their own employment longevity being of much more vital significance than their responsibilities to this country and its citizens. Never before in the history of the United States have so many on Capitol Hill been so out of touch with the wishes of the overwhelming majority of Americans. Never before has our leadership been so willing to utterly ignore their duties to the Constitution, the rights of American citizens, and the very principles of America herself.
The issue du jour known as “comprehensive immigration reform” ignores all of those things, and more. The Democrats and Republicans who plan to support this measure will grant amnesty, as it is defined by the law, by the dictionary, and by common sense. They will grant those who have knowingly and willingly broken a myriad of laws since the day they entered this country, more rights and more benefits than those who are lawful citizens. They will actually support an increase in the number of those criminals that may come here, and wish to grant them citizenship with barely any penalties whatsoever. Make no mistake about it: The House and Senate will introduce legislation that will increase the problem exponentially, and will vote to marginalize every legal citizen. They will make our country a weaker, more dangerous place. They will take from those who obey the laws, and to give a reward to those who break them.
Those who support this, including Bush, are anti-American in every sense.
You beat me.
BUSH = RINO
You are only noticing now? I'm embarassed for you.
I also regret voting for Bush.
At the time of the last election, his stance on shamnesty was not widely known. Don't get me wrong: republicants are still better than dims by a mile, but this will be the issue that will bring our country to its knees if it passes.
Bush didn't lie and the war in Iraq isn't illegal, but he is every bit the corporate sellout that the fools on the left rail against, willing to sell our country and everything it stands for down the crapper for some dimly-perceived promise of greater political power.
"Bush, facing a huge fight within his own party for his immigration plan, called it an important but sensitive issue."
"Important" ..for whom? "Sensitive" ...don't make me puke.
I suppose GW thinks that if we were dumb enough to vote him in twice, we are dumb enough to go along with his "migration law." The only problem with this "migration" is that it's only in one direction. He is getting sillier by the week.
The illegals know they have it made.
A Mexican walked by me the other day in Lowes and he was wearing an AZTLAN t-shirt.
I had to do a double-take to make sure I knew what I was seeing was correct.
I can't take it anymore, gWB is completely off the reservation on this, yet he doesn't care, we can all go to pound sand as far as he is concerened.
We had a 2nd amendment victory in DC, did he comment on that?
No, we get gWB holding a produce bundle speaking out of both sides of his mouth about the need for the rule of law, and samnesty in the same breath, Al Gonzalez is getting tarred and featehred and we get scolded by El Preidente Calderon about securing our borders, and gWB talks about the anti drug work that Calderon has done, when any tom fool knows that he hasn't been in office long enough to do a thing about drug smuggling.
I'll pass, enough for me thanks.
one word comment
SICKENING
It's beyond me why so many Freepers are amazed at W's statement. He's been touting the line for seven years now.
The first thing he did when re-elected was to buzz down to Mexico, then immediately up to Canada. After that rumors of a North American Union began to emerge, blossoming into murmurs of a 12 lane highway from Mexico to Canada. And we are surprised at W's latest verbal betrayal?
1. either the people complaining didn't vote for Bush, orIn any of the above cases, one really has to wonder what their complaint actually is.
2. the people complaining ignored what Bush was saying about "comprehensive immigration reform" as far back as 1999, or
3. the people complaining chose to disregard what Bush was saying and voted for him anyway.
Swab it with Hoppes No. 9 (but don't use the entire bottle - you may need it later).
"The illegals know they have it made.

Isn't that the truth. I was at the Home Depot in Torrance, CA and was digusted to hear all the Public Address announcements in Spanish. Not ONE in English!!
California is lost. The rest of the country is right on our heels.
It's worse than that:
1. either the people complaining didn't vote for Bush, or
2. the people complaining ignored what Bush was saying about "comprehensive immigration reform" as far back as 1999, or
3. the people complaining chose to disregard what Bush was saying and voted for him anyway.

What's to wonder? None of the four candidates had a good position on illegal immigration. Bush was the best of the sorry lot. Doesn't mean one has to stop voicing their displeasure with Bush's "Comprehensive Amnesty / No Enforcement" plan.
