...Gutierrez said the president intends to use the speech to outline details of his proposal for addressing the nation’s estimated 10.8 million undocumented immigrants, which is expected to include some form of a conditional path to legal residency...

[jessduntno]

undocumented immigrants...is that similar to illegal aliens?

[Minn]

conditional path to legal residency...

In exchange for voting Democrat and helping to dismantle the white bread culture he and his cohorts find so objectionable, no doubt.

Greta had this sleazebag on her show tonight. She acted like she wanted to go take a shower after she finished the interview. I can’t believe people actually vote for morons like this clown.

[Hildy]

He’s been in Congress for 18 years...he was so sleazy...I wanted to jump through the TV and wring his puny little neck. We are ready for a civil war in this Country...and that is no lie.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s coming.

I am trying to find the interview he gave concerning voting for healthcare in exchange for blanket amnesty. He was very outspoken about promises made to him for his vote and felt very betrayed when Bambro countered the Joe Wilson shout out.

Probably the same old crap the politicians have been saying for years:

= go to the end of the line,

= pay a fine,

= learn English.

[Eagles6]

"commander zero" and his handlers are provoking it. That's the plan.

They have misunderestimeted the American people.

[Razz Barry]

Mr. Gutierrez, Why do Hispanics think they are so special that they should not have to follow our laws? What other laws do Hispanics think they shouldn't follow? Why don't they go home and not follow the laws of their country?

[stubernx98]

The PATH is South!

[TigersEye]

Yes, he has asserted that southern Arizona has been ceded to Mexico.

Gov. Brewer to President Obama ...(Must see video)

"the nation’s estimated 10.8 million undocumented immigrants"

Will end up being around 30 million illegal aliens.

They pull these numbers out of their nether regions.
Ten years ago we were being told there were 12 million illegals with another one million crossing into the USA every year. But now there are less than 11 million?

Hopefully his window to achieve anything ends Jan 2011 when the new congress is sworn in.

[ridesthemiles]

In the past 4 months, the ‘number’ of illegal/ undocumented intruder aliens has been going down in various articles from about 20 million to this figure of less than 11 million.

All of this is a lie, IMO.

In the 70’s, 20 million illegals was the usual number referred to.

Now, 35++ years later, with the continous streaming across our southern borders of unwanted, unwashed & uneducated illegal intruders, it is a massive lie to talk about under 11 million intruders being here.

IMO, it is much closer to 50 million.

With the Arizona law creating an exodus of illegal aliens out of the state, Obama knows it is only a matter of time (despite media attempts to bury) before people in other states demand an SB 1070 of their own. And given the fact Obama is sinking like a rock in polls, he knows he needs some kind of help to rally his shrinking base. We may well be witnessing the end of the Obama presidency. This guy is toast.

[dangus]

Except the “go to the end of the line” is bullsh!t, the English test will be memorizable, and the fine will be insignificant in comparison to the tax cheating that illegals do.

Oh now. None of that is going to happen -- until they secure the borders -- which is a canard they have used for a decade. They have no intention of 'securing the borders' in a manner most Americans would understand.

Heck, Napolitano turned of Bush's virtual fence. That alone indicates the lack of seriousness of either political party to do anything. The intial 'virtual fence' was laughable -- maybe it did catch 'virtual illegals', but it didn't catch many 'real' ones.

[freespirited]

some form of a conditional path to legal residency...

legal residency or citizenship? They are not the same thing.

Ping!
