I searched but did not see a thread already open for tonights speech. I think this is the most important speech the President will probably make for the remainder of his term.

Mod Note:
This could turn into a whack-a-troll thread. All immigration trolls that would like to participate should post here. It'll be interesting to see if we mods can whack the trolls faster than they can sign up new accounts.

That's a large part of my outrage over this issue. Our "overlords" don't really need to worry about that ugly little angle.

"overlords" ignore it all. They should ALL go to jail.

[humblegunner]

And SPEAK ENGLISH he says!

I can't find any fault with that.

[daguberment]

Aww, crud. Now he's talking about my kid's job at Pizza Hut.

Yea, you got it. No US kids should be working, 'cause we've got others who need that job.

[glasseye]

from stealing hubcaps too robbing banks......

[mtbopfuyn]

Unity? No, they are disrupting America and gov freebies are taking food out of our children's mouths.

[Pox]

A mixed bag.

Still, call it what you will, but this pseudo-amnesty BS is still rewarding criminals.

Screw our current government. We've been sold out again.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

this is complete crap.....unless the Rep's in the House and Senate hold a press conference and refute this nonsesne TOMORROW then we can kiss the house and senate goodbye

[jazusamo]

Arm Chair Quarterbacking makes good web-sport but the responsibility of the free world isn't so easy.

Amen, there is no simple answer to the problem, this sounds like a start.

"AMNESTY - BUSH SAYS ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS PAY A FINE - PAY BACK TAXES - AND APPLY"

That's a dramatic change from what he proposed in January 2004. I guess GWB has "evolved".

[advance_copy]

Yep, IMHO, he is doing just fine

Me, too. And I was criticizing President Bush earlier. I don't have a real problem with anything proposed by the President tonight, and I like some of it very much.

[catholicfreeper]

"W opposes amnesty but want worker program? Wishy washy.

Deport them NOW!"


I hope your first in line to be a Foster parent to all the children that are now American citizens when there parents are deported . Thats what in part he means by "deep roots"

[shattered]

But it is amnesty.

Shackled to an [ungrateful] corpse. Part 1 of a Series on the Mexican racial hierarchy and its implications for America. By Steve Sailer ...

[Halls]

som than what does he plan to do, keep letting the illegals live here with never gaining citizenship!

I have been a Republican for as long as I can remember and a strong supporter of President Bush, but for the first time, I find it difficult to take any of this speech seriously. Less than too, little, too late.

Sounds like Clinton or Kerry. I'm against amnesty, but I'm for a path to citizenship.

Maybe this is Saturday Night Live.

I am not upset with this speech, I think this is reasonable, and I think this is very important. What the democrats have taught us is incrementalism works. He has made a solid foray with good conservative steps with compromise being on our terms, not theirs. I think this is a home run.

[mad_as_he$$]

Yup or some other evil force. Makes me sick.

Melting pot? Learn English. The Voting Rights Act was just renewed -- with voting info & ballots in foreign languages. Yeah, right.
