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

Get these invaders out of my country!!!

[xzins]

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.

[cripplecreek]

Enforce the law.

[ca centered]

Hope he right the bill is dead as dead can be.

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."

George Bush, starring in: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. "no more need to Hyde my huge left-leaning tendencies."

[DakotaRed]

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?

[George W. Bush]

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.

[Psycho_Bunny]

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.

THANK YOU HUGH!

>>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.

[dynachrome]

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.

[Obie Wan]

Build the wall that Duncan Hunter got started and then when an illegal is caught and most of them sooner or later will get caught, DEPORT THEM HOME TO WHERE THEY BELONG !!!

[supercat]

A person who snuck into this country on December 31, 2006 (or December 31, 1996 for that matter) should be treated no better than one who applied legally on January 1, 2007. Can anyone offer me any reason why that should not be the case?

[sheana]

Couple it with the argument that Hillary is coming and this is the best we will get if we lose the White House.

Sorry Hugh, that dog don’t hunt no more.

[Cacique]

CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL! AND KEEP CALLING TILL THE LINES FRY!

WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!

Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them. This is a bipartisan issue not a Conservative or Liberal issue BUT AN AMERICAN issue.

One beer drinker's plan...

1). Pass Jorge's and his amigo's plan.

2). Kindly accept the $5,000.00 each illegal ponies up.

3). Take $250 of that payment and put their ass on a plane back to whichever hellhole they came from.

4). Use $4,700.00 left over to round up some of those that didn't make themselves known and send them on a similar one way trip.

5). Give me the $50 for a pint or dozen so I can cry over my beer remembering this nation's former glory - I WANT MY FRIGGIN COUNTRY BACK!!!!!!!!!!!

6). Repeat until job done or my liver taps out.

Can Any Immigration Bill Be Saved?

When I find someone that speaks English, I'll ask them.

[ChildOfThe60s]

the security voter-- has left the room

Duh. Ya think terrorists having an open border on the south damages Bush's credibility on national security? How many Americans will die because terrorists stroll over the border and make a big hit?

Legal citizens have to suffer DRE's to get on a plane, but millions of illegals can cross the border with impunity. These same illegals can stand in our streets and give us the finger with impunity (literally & metaphorically). Our law enforcement officials are told to leave them alone. The executive branch of the federal government refuses to enforce our laws.

Does the President want to know why we are fed up? Take a look Mr. Bush, this is why:
