For Bush, fight over immigration bill is personal {gag alert)

[Baladas]

Reading the party entirely wrong AGAIN. Saying amnesty's a "personal" issue wouldn't matter unless you're a dictator.

Amnesty! Amnesty! Amnesty!

[Paleo Conservative]

Then he should take the defeat of the immigration bill personally.

[LeoWindhorse]

I wish my dear President would take a good long look in the mirror on this one.....

[tflabo]

The 1986 Amnesty bill was supposed to close and regulate the borders...haaa... what a joke and the incompetent Feds reneged on that provision. Now this shAMNESTY bill will now fix the borders finally? We are not fooled or impressed with the empty promises from DC.

[Lijahsbubbe]

a lot of this immigration debate is driven as a result of Latinos being in our country."

We're all bigots now.....

[Lijahsbubbe]

you recognize the decency and hard work and humanity of Hispanics

No culture is monolithic

[GATOR NAVY]

"If you want to scare the American people tell the truth, what you say is the bill's an amnesty bill,"

[Cacique]

Bush wants to start a dynasty, he thinks the poor mexicanos are sure to vote for his nephew. Jeb at least had a son, unfortunately for the rest of us he is half mexican and they think the mexicans will vote for him. That's not the way the peasants think, to them he is still a blanco. We end up paying to the legacy and unfullfilled dynasty.

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.

STOP AMNESTY NOW!! WE CAN DO IT!!

The best way to stop Shamnesty

[LeoWindhorse]

ps: I live in Hawaii , and we are getting FLOODED with illegal Hispanics over here . They are not swimming ,so guess how they get here ? They fly on commerical airlines. Don’t you have to present a valid ID to board a plane these days? Isn’t it a Federal crime to present fake ID? Is the ID all these illegals flying to Hawaii fake ? I would say ‘probably’ . And TSA ignores this ?
I have made these points to every one of my elected representatives , result = no comment / no answer.

And we expect the Amnesty illegals to obey any new laws ?
Or our authorities to enforce any new ones on the books ?

In the meantime , We the People must endure the FLOOD of these damn illegal scofflaws and our own authorities that let it happen...

[Cringing Negativism Network]

George Bush is doing to the Republican Party,
what Jimmy Carter did to the Democrats.

NO AMNESTY.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

Calling us "bigots" is the last straw.

Of course most Mexicans want to live in the U.S.

Most of the world's poor would love to live here.

Do we let them ALL move here?

That would be the "humane" thing to do. After all, Mexicans are only the tip of worldwide poverty.

These millions of trespassers don't want to become Americans at all. They just want to cling to their own culture and language while making money by taking away the jobs of Americans and legal aliens.

They want welfare and free health care and free public education and Social Security benefits.

It’s not xenophobia. My wife is a naturalized citizen and I’ve spent many years overseas.

It’s recognizing the rule of law. If our laws aren’t going to be recognized and abided by, our system breaks down and our nation collapses. What we have here is the President of the United States saying some laws are ok to break . . . . The cat’s out of the bag - this was his agenda all along.

[TheThinker]

I've always been supportive of Bush until now. He needs to be defeated here. I dont thing he's doing it out of a belief that it's the right thing to do. I'm not buying it. It seems he's selling us out. Our security depends on good immigration policy and he supposedly believes in national security but not border security. Oh, he has plenty of security around him at all times and he'll never have to worry about getting attacked by a Mexican gang member or have to compete with a Mexican for his supper. Bush is being a huge hypocrite.

[MARTIAL MONK]

Millions for de Fence. Not one cent for amnesty.

[California Patriot]

“No culture is monolithic.” Exactly.

[California Patriot]

Our president is a genuinely stupid man.

[gubamyster]

ping

[neverhillorat]

So no amnesty huh? Can you share with us your plan to get this Congress to approve the laws and funding to do what we all want? (please don`t say just follow existing law, that`s a dead pony)

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Then it’s perfectly o.k. not to pay taxes. Period.

[gridlock]

I will continue to support the President on the War on Terror. However, I will not support him in other areas, anymore.
