Bush Brushes Off Criticism of Immigration Bill
"It's merely a flesh wound!"
Actually, those guys should be prosecuted for violating the anti-slavery statutes and then sent to a hard-times prison busting rocks with a hammer.
"W" and his cronies best get over the idea that being sent back to Mexico is some sort of punishment ~ it really isn't ~ on a world scale. Mexico is still one of the better places to live ~ beats the devil out of Sudan (for example).
We brush off his presidency.
What Jorge Boosh is telling us is, “we do not matter - it is no longer our country - we are the mindless masses - just shut up and watch our stupid television”!
Fixed it.
In any event, this is all hardly of any importance anymore - we have more important things to worry about now.
It was foreordained to pass years ago by the Star Chamber. Criticism is irrelevant.
That Rev. was lucky a bolt of lightening didn't strike him when he spoke that lie. Anyone know if he strangled on it when he said it?
Must be some awfully terrible consequences, what with the illegal alien lobby pushing so hard to pass this bill.
I feel it, George! I feel what I'm getting already!!
(It feels a lot like my doctor's prostate exam, only more persistent, and it hurts a lot worse.)
Bush brushes off the remaining 30% of voters...
Heck with them.
They only put him in office. What do they know.
Has anyone began to wonder if we made a mistake in 2000 by not going with someone else? Lamar Alexander, Alan Keyes, or even Lizzie Dole would have all been better in the long run than the big-spending, non-vetoing, presider over corruption and shamnesty, Senor Jorge Bush.
When Gore tried to hijack the Presidency
The "Bush lied" campaign
2004 National Guard stories
The War in Iraq
SS reform
We overlooked his record spending, his "reaching out" to the Democrats, his failure to respond to his critics...
I assume Bush is also planning to give amnesty to the illegal immigrants plotting terrorist attacks at Fort Dix in NJ and Kennedy Airport in NY?
There are hundreds of thousands of illegal MUSLIMS in this country. These Muslim illegals also qualify for amnesty.
And recall you can’t send somebody down to Gitmo once they have the “rights” of citizenship.
What a monumental liar this man is.
$1,000 is not a "consequence" for illegal entry and the host of crimes that follow it.
It is a downpayment on the Z visa which is functionally equivalent to a U.S. permanent resident visa.
Having been through it with my wife, I know what it costs in time and money and aggravation to go from square one to a green card.
It is far more than $1,000.
And this trivial token of $1,000 is the only thing that allows them to assert "this is not an amnesty," although other provisions of the bill strongly reassert that charge by any definition of the word (e.g., hands-off provisions for local law enforcement, requirement that immigration courts offer Z visa application assistance even to scofflaws).
In other words, "screw your constituents and screw the country, just like I'm doing".
Maybe Jimmy Carter was correct and Bush is the worst POTUS ever.
President Bush has had his successes mixed with exceptionally incompetent moments. This is one of the highlights of the latter. Not removing clinton cronies from all possible areas being one I can name immediately. It's up to us to simply demonstrate to the President that we hold him accountable as we would anyone else. The protest will continue until this bill is dropped for the poison that it is.
I'm exceptionally disappointed with our President.
How can he possibly reconcile the sacrifice that he asks of our brave troops while they fight abroad to protect us, then turn around and basically dissolve our borders, disintegrating our nation in the process? It's practically a betrayal of our troops. What are they fighting for if we don't even pretend to have borders? We aren't even a nation without them...
It just doesn't make sense. He needs to be enlightened.
