President Bush insists if we just shut up, blindly listen to him and support his so-called "comprehensive immigration reform plan," we can solve the problem "once and for all."
I have a better idea.
Since Bush has, for nearly seven years, deliberately, consciously and overtly refused to uphold his sworn constitutional duty to execute and administer the duly enacted border and immigration laws already on the books, he should be disqualified from participating in any further negotiations regarding new border and immigration laws.
Doesn't that make sense?
Why would we turn to a scofflaw president, one who, out of some misguided ideological conviction, habitually and repeatedly reneged on his oath of office, with regard to immigration issues, to solve a problem he himself exacerbated beyond anyone's ability to imagine or comprehend?
I think this is a very important principle upon which all Americans should stand.
On this issue, Bush betrayed America. He undermined the Constitution. He violated his oath of office. He forsook his sworn duty. His reckless policies of non-enforcement of the law of the land contributed massively to the crisis the nation faces.
He must simply not be allowed to participate in creating new laws designed to clean up his own mess.
Bush has no credibility as an executor of immigration and border laws. Why should any thinking American believe he will enforce immigration and border laws in the future when he refused to enforce them in the past.
As president, Bush went further than any of his predecessors in ignoring immigration and border laws. He not only refused to enforce them, he explained to the American people why he wouldn't. He told us these illegal aliens were needed here for the sake of the U.S. economy and that they would do jobs Americans wouldn't do.
Are we to believe he has suddenly changed his mind about this? Are we to believe we suddenly have all the illegal foreign workers America could ever need in the future? Are we to believe Bush was just joking around about his justification for non-enforcement for all these years?
No. Bush is irrelevant to the immigration and border debate. He must be if we are to preserve what remains of our sovereign country and common American culture moving forward.
I don't believe Bush is capable of negotiating immigration and border laws that are in the best interest of Americans. It's that simple.
Bush's shamnesty proposal, worked out behind closed doors in the dark of night with Senate negotiators, should be viewed as dead on arrival. Period. End of story. If passed, it would bankrupt this country as well as leave it headed toward multicultural disaster. There are a million reasons to defeat it. And reason No. 1,000,001 is that Bush has his fingerprints on it – Bush supports it.
Just so no one has any illusions any more about immigration and border laws in the future, this should be a litmus test for future bills. If Bush supports it, it's obviously no good.
Of course, that raises the question of how any bill will be signed into law prior to January 2008.
It doesn't matter. We don't need any more immigration and border laws on the books before then because the man sitting in the Oval Office has proven over time he has no intention of enforcing laws that are duly enacted by Congress and in the best interest of the American people.
The problem is not in the laws. The problem is in the man occupying the White House.
The laws currently on the books, if enforced, would solve most of the problems we have with illegal immigration. The problem is one of enforcement.
Passing new laws that will be misused, ignored or abused is hardly an answer.

ENFORCE THE LAW.
Especially if the likes of Ted Kennedy, John McCain, and Lindsay Graham are his partners in crime.
And do not forget that he has an absolute purpose in doing so that neither he nor anyone close to him as even hinted at beyond the obvious. He is putting into motion his strange desire to undermine our country at it's very roots, the Constitution, all of it. It goes out the window when his inexcusable and unexplainable North American Union replaces the USA and becomes the trilateral union of Mexico, Canada and, oh yes, that which was once the beautiful, God fearing sovereign nation of the United States of America. (As in you and me folks) The President isn't just kind of selling us out. He's selling us down the Rio Grande without a paddle as we never again shall raise the Red, White and Blue over our heads. My fear is, like so many things we have just sat back and watched or ignored as they happened, we will not recover from this one and it will all be OVER.
Excellent question.
Bump to find tomorrow....

Bush has never enforced the immigration laws that we do have, and he does need to be held in account for this. He has betrayed the people of the USA by doing this.
Just say NO to Amnesty!! Keep calling!! It’s NOT OVER!!

Don’t forget the La Raza aholes. There were, and are involved, too in this shamnesty bill. Bush should be ashamed of himself.
Let him run for president of Albania.
"Crucify! We have no king but Caesar! Give us Barabbas!"
No way man, they are to busy enforcing important b.s. like seat belt laws and other crap that means soooo much to our safety.
That is at the root of so many of the President's problems. Whether it is immigration, or Iraq, or Iran, he is simply no longer believed. He is therefore reduced to deal making and coercion to get his will. What will he pay, what will he threaten to get the votes he needs for the amnesty bill, for instance? Will he lose the last of his essential support for the war in Iraq over the immigration battle? What price is he willing to pay to keep the border open?
“No way man, they are to busy enforcing important b.s. like seat belt laws and other crap that means soooo much to our safety.”
The Socialist elite need make sure we taxpayers are safe from harm. We are farmed for “Contributions” to their “Great Society”.
Just because the dims went on about it for the past 6 years doesn't mean it isn't the appropriate thing to do now!
Why is no one talking about impeaching the man over this?
W ain't Jesus, not even close.
He's a politician and he's wrong on this issue. More to the point he is not above criticism.
bttt
There must be something in Bush’s past that causes him to have this blind irrational loyalty toward Latin American immigrants, especially the illegal ones.
Perhaps he was raised by an illegal immigrant Mexican nanny, and as a “reward” promised her his undying support in bringing her ‘people’ to America.
Or perhaps someone in the anscestral Bush family mistreated or did something even worst to one or more Mexican illegals, and thus Bush is obsessed with guilt over his family history.
I can’t quite figure it out.
But suffice it to say that I want all people’s to be represented in our LEGAL immigration system.
But mandating that 80-percent or more be illegal Mexicans or Central Americans is just insanity, because it will disrupt or destroy the parity of power we’ve enjoyed here in America the past 250 years.
When any ONE group of peoples holds sole electoral power (as would eventually happen with Bush immigration policies), then that political entity becomes corrupt and tyrannical with it’s own power.
If 70-percent of America were to become Spanish speaking third world nationals, they would be able to legally vote to redraw districts and state laws to their own benefit.
Or they could LEGALLY change the US Constitution if they have enough voter support.
At the very minimum, the more illegals and legal third world peoples that inhabit America, the more illegals and legal third world peoples that same population as a whole will want to come into America.
It’s a critical mass, my friends.
One we can control now, or forever be fighting a defacto civil war over control of this greatest nation.
That’s your opinion, and you stick with it. I, however, have had enough of him. I have defended him practically on street corners, and God knows everywhere else, day or night. That is now over. He has no loyalty to people who went to the mat for him. He would now turn over my home to savages while he has secret service men riding fence on his ranch. None of his family will ever have to deal on their own with mexicans in great numbers. And while we are at it, I can’t say I care for his father and his celebrated friendship with Slick Willy.
Yes. When Bush lost me, he lost one of his best friends. I didn’t abandon him. He abandoned me.
