umgud’s plan

1. Secure the border
2. Real interior enforcement
3. Employee verification, match SS#’s, etc. (no national ID)
4. Employer sanctions
5. Border crossers, visa overstays banned from reentry, felony 2cnd strike
6. ID required for voting
7. No education, non-emergency medical or public assistance to illegals
8. No more anchor babies
9. Expand citizenship based on immigrant skill/education (end chain migration)
10. Provide guest worker program with application from home countries

The only thing that will/can save the GOP is an Immigration Deportation Bill.

Get these invaders out of my country!!!

There is no immigration bill I will accept that doesn’t simply say:

total shutdown of all borders and coasts.

I don’t care about anything else. Do that first, and then we’ll talk about legal immigration.

It gets better: Drudge is reporting a Bush U-turn on global warming in the Financial Times: "A striking about-face on global warming, calling on the world’s leading economies to join the US in agreeing a global target to reduce carbon dioxide emissions before the end of his term in office."

I think a good compromise on this compromise, considering that the left wants illegals to better themselves and receive freebies. And, considering how great they also think Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro are, why not gradually round the illegals up, cut deals with Chavez and Castro for new citizens, as theirs flee, to offset the deportation cost, and just ship them down to Venezuela and Cuba.

They wouldn’t have to worry about language, work, medical care, welfare or anything. After all, doesn’t the left keep telling us what a Socialist Eutopia those countries and ‘benevolent’ Dicators are?

At this point I take out my Harriet Miers Fan Club chater membership card and put it on the table: This push for this bill is a disaster, Mr. President. Much much worse than the Miers nomination on which you had many good arguments, or the ports deal, on which you had fewer. On this issue there is no place to stand, and you are asking your friends in the Senate to go down fighting for a bad bill.

If Bush has lost someone as loyal as Hewitt, he's in trouble on this.

A lot of people hold Hugh in low-esteem and I've never understood why.  I sometimes question his conclusions but he's sharp and savvy.

Rumor has it he’s hittin’ the bottle again....I’m wondering whether it’s true now.

>>the whole fence first, big hikes in federal law enforcement beyond the Border Patrol, a burden of proof requirement on non-Spanish speaking immigrants from countries with jihadist networks and perhaps even for gang-age Spanish speakers etc.<<

That’s a good start, but not nearly good enough. Maybe HH knows that, and he didn’t have room to list all the fatal flaws. I don’t think we should even talk about legalization until we have proof positive that enforcement will work. Not a simple thumbs up from Chertoff or anyone in the administration. There needs to be real, independent certification, a veto for someone other than the fox to certify that the henhouse is safe.

Kick out illegals who have even one DUI. Take out the section about the SPP. This bill is pathetic. It needs more than a few fixes — it needs to be a good faith, real bill, not a bunch of frauds written to resemble a bill.

I’m glad to see this from Mr. Hewitt. I listened to Medved today and he was for the “piece of sh*t” as Rep. Boehner called it.

I've banned Medved from my radio forever - I cannot take limp-wristed republicanism anymore.
