"A HOUSE DIVIDED" - Pukin's FReeperversary Rant

Let me help you. "Both" means more than one. Crack a dictionary, you'll see. In this case, both means doing BOTH: Border security and guest worker. Class dismissed.

You're starting to look like that poor soldier in The Deer Hunter who was forced to place Russian Roulette. ;^)

"This simply cannot be allowed to happen."

Correct.
So, get on the President's and the Senate's ass and tell them to put a REAL fence, sea-to-sea, in that immigration bill.
The Fence is the key to avoiding the parade of horribles.

Ok. I got to leave. Going to a baseball game. Going to eat some hotdogs. Drink a couple beers. It will be good.

Everyone try to get along till I get back.

The simultaneous implementation of a guest-worker program will undermine the efforts to secure the border by encouraging even more illegals to flood across. It also makes it clear that the security measures are just window dressing. The real message is "welcome illegals".

Looking at the figures shows that there is apparently about a 2/3s chance of being caught.

That doesn't agree with what I've read. If you've got figures like that, please post them.

Bush spends like a drunken sailor". Never mind that Bush doesn't spend at all, and only Congress does, but hey what are facts among friends

Bush is just as guilty as the congress as he has to sign the legistlation to make it law. He can also veto it. Oh I forgot, it's against GWB's religion to Veto anything. But then we are all friends, heh?

HOW SUBSTANTIAL a fence? Is it a joke fence or something that will really stop a lot of determined enemies?

A lot of folks will still be here unless "justshutupandtakeit" succeeds in MOAB'ing the place.

A blast ;) Takes himself a little too seriously, but he's a good guy.

But this is what onyx posted:

We're all saying BORDER SECURITY and ENFORCEMENT FIRST

You said you wanted both done at the same time, like Bush does. So you do not want border security FIRST.

[Sir Gawain]

Perhaps when someone makes the effort to bring FR back to what it always was, and will be again, it is news?

FR was like the Wild West years ago. This is the most tame it's ever been in terms of heated arguments. Not saying it's better or worse now, but there was no "Golden Age" in terms of polite debate, at least not that I can remember.

If Brad's Gramma would kindly post the link to Red, Red Wine (not WHINE) I could get the other song out of my head.
