Bush Urges Hispanics To Speak Up (New Info and Quotes)
The Washington Times ^ | June 16, 2007 | Steven Dinan

President Bush yesterday told Hispanics to step into the middle of the immigration debate and make sure senators who have been bombarded with calls from opponents also hear from those who support the bill.

"There's a lot of emotion on this issue, and it makes sense to have people from around the country come and sit down with members of Congress to talk rationally about the issue," he told those attending the Hispanic Prayer Breakfast in Washington yesterday.

He was speaking a day after the bill, which collapsed last week, was revived by the top Democrat and Republican in the Senate.

Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, agreed to put the bill back on the Senate's schedule next week, and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, agreed to limit the number of amendments Republicans would offer.

But roadblocks are already popping up.
Sen. Jim DeMint, South Carolina Republican, said he will block any attempt to send the bill to an eventual House-Senate conference, complicating the usual path a bill takes to reach the president's desk.

"Ted Kennedy has sold us another bill of goods and I don't trust him to make even more changes...

Yes, let’s hear from the illegals who support this garbage. Then trace the calls and nab ‘em.

"LOL. Funny, huh? (in a sad kind of way)"

Post #36 was the right one. It's late and I am pissed off. But your comment is right anyway.

How does one actually organize an impeachment petition?
Is this not the time?

Calling on illegal invaders to organize and instigate opposition against the established laws governing and protecting the CITIZENS of this country and to demonstrate support for criminal legislation the CITIZENS of this country have already declared they will not stand for. Illegal Aliens are going to organize against the will of the electorate at the urging of our so-called President?

If this is not treason what the EFF is?

IMPEACH BUSH NOW

The guy in the White House doesn’t know what he’s doing and neither does the President.

OPINION:

America does have a gang problem.

Many law enforcement agencies have gang task forces (and ICE has done a great job, too) just like they now have Joint Terrorism Task Forces.

That is why dealing with our border situation is extremely important, in my opinion.

They should add a provision to the immigration bill that they have to kick out one citizen for every immigrant they allow to become a citizen.

Idiot!! Most hispanics I know, including this one are opposed to amnesty.

If that's what he hears back from them, he'll just come out and proclaim otherwise.

” Please. You don’t expect me to to go back and find your old posts do you? If somebody missed your raggedy little post just restate it. “

I have my answer. I know what you are and why you’re here.

LOL. Then tell us "all knowing one". If you have time between your weirdo claims.

He has no interest in hearing from hispanics who are here legally. He only wants to hear from what he defines as hispanics. Illegal aliens, mostly from Mexico who will be acquainted with Jorge P. Bush so that they vote for him when he runs as president of the North American Union in 20 years. The male heir to the Bush legacy is a hispanic through his mom and perfect to perpetuate the Bush dynasty.
