Immigration has been the lifeblood of a lot of our country's history. And I am worried that a backlash to newcomers would cause our country to lose its great capacity to assimilate newcomers.

For the millionth time - George, they came here ILLEGALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are not talking about immigration here, we are talking about a bunch of illegals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm having a nightmare and I can't wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is it about ILLEGAL immigration that he doesn't get? I don't know about everyone else, but my soul feels a WHOLE lot more secure than my country's borders.

ILLEGAL immigrants, President Bush. ILLEGAL.

“Bush is lying through his teeth on this issue,”

Can one be a good Christian and lie to the people about this issue?

So, Bush isn’t a conservative, so we should vote for Rudy because he’s also not a conservative? This is like two unrelated columns tacked together.

AMEN! And Bush is largely responsible for the lack of enforcement. It sickens me when he tries to spin this deceptive propaganda to the American public.

“I’m deeply concerned about America losing its soul. Immigration has been the lifeblood of a lot of our country’s history.”

No, you dolt. LEGAL immigration has been “the lifeblood of a lot of our country’s history.” Your perfidious amnesty bill simply validates a huge wave of ILLEGAL immigration, which does irreparable harm to LEGAL immigration.

This is the difference between a conservative and a ‘compassionate conservative.’ Nobody should be surprised; he tried to warn us that being conservative isn’t good enough.

Wanting to believe Bush was a conservative & voting for him because he could beat Gore was what got us in the mess we’re in now. If Gore had won, there’s a chance he would not have been re-elected and we might have gotten a better conservative candidate in there now, I said ‘a chance’.

We better think real hard before we make that kind of stupid mistake again & let someone like Guiliani or McCain even get close to being our candidate. We are giving our party away to a bunch of Globalist/Elite/Country Club Republicans.

Time to stop the train wreck NOW!!!!!!!

>>”I’m deeply concerned about America losing its soul. Immigration has been the lifeblood of a lot of our country’s history. And I am worried that a backlash to newcomers would cause our country to lose its great capacity to assimilate newcomers.<<

Maybe I’m missing something here. Since when was this about immigration? Who ever said anything about being against immigration?

This issue has nothing to do with immigration — rather, it is solely about law enforcement. I suspect the president knows that but would rather change the subject because he knows how poor his record is in that regard.

As for my soul, Mr. President, that’s a matter between my God and me. So butt-out.

The first part of the article was good, but it got weird when Rudy was noted as a conservative. Bush isn’t a conservative and Rudy isn’t either. It is strange that someone would see the former, but fail to see the latter.

Immigration has been the lifeblood of a lot of our country's history (Urge to start screaming - fear that I won't be able to stop) No, Mr. President. LEGAL IMMIGRATION has been that lifeblood. This is like calling bank robbers "illegal bankers", and then pointing out how important banking is.

“Of the 19 declared presidential candidates as of this writing, Rudy Giuliani is the most logical choice to forge this new coalition of conservatives.”

Yeah, right. Is the author smokng crack? Giuliani is just another Bush — a faux conservative at best.

Fool me once (Bush 41), shame on you. Fool me twice (Bush 43), shame on me. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FOOL ME AGAIN!

I thought she got it, until she mentioned Rudy.

Talk about going from bad to worse. No thanks.

Me too. I removed my Bush bumper sticker last fall. I also took the Support Bush banner out of my storefront window then too. In the past, I have given out hundreds of Bush bumper stickers & actually lost a few customers because of my support for this man that I am ashamed of now.

I feel totally betrayed by this whole administration.

Bush certainly doesn’t need to worry about the soul of the people. He needs to look out for his own. He needs to quit spinning a seriously detrimental issue that will affect every aspect of our country as a virtue for him, and flaw in the American citizen.

The flaw lies with you and your Global World, Mr. Bush.

Of the 19 declared presidential candidates as of this writing, Rudy Giuliani is the most logical choice to forge this new coalition of conservatives. He is enough of a social liberal to attract Reagan Democrats, and tough enough on crime and terrorism – with the added bonus of being fiscally conservative – to attract conservatives who are putting social issue on the back burner this time around.

Is she serious? Sanctuary City Guiliani is the one to forge this new coalition of conservatives? I don't think ANY of those words mean what she thinks they mean.

I think you are wrong. This immigration issue could pull the Reagan Democrat types to vote for the right candidate. Pelosi may control the pols in the House with her mob machine methods, but she does not control the voters. There are lots of workers, blacks, and Hispanics who are directly impacted by this problem and might well vote for the right Republican who was tough on immigration. I do not think Giulani is that man, however.
