"Immigration has been the lifeblood of a lot of our country's history"

Yes. But what the U.S. is undergoing is an illegal invasion, not "immigration".

Bush is lying through his teeth on this issue, and he knows it. More importantly, we know it as well.

"Immigration has been the lifeblood of a lot of our country's history"

It is highly troubling that G.W. Bush refuses to distinguish legal immigration from illegal immigration.

You're giving him too much credit.

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

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

[theothercheek]

Yup. You’d think he would have figured out that we aren’t stupid after the Harriet Myers debacle.

Yes. But what the U.S. is undergoing is an illegal invasion, not "immigration".

Spot on! Prior waves of imigration were people who wanted to be part of the American dream. Not migrant workers who wave foreign flags while shouting about how rotten our country is and demanding taxpayer funded entitlements. Big difference there.

You're right, it's an invasion. Why can't Bush see that?

But what the U.S. is undergoing is an illegal invasion, not "immigration".

In our old age, we will look back on these days with great bitterness, and our children will curse our generation for squandering their great national legacy.
