How about keeping the faith with those who respect our laws and are waiting to immigrate legally. What the hell are they, chopped liver?

"...370 miles of triple-layered fencing along the Mexican border..."

I was born a night, but it wasn't last night. 370 miles of fence is a cruel and pathetic joke. If these Klondikes can build 370 miles of fence they can just as easily build 2000 miles of fence. When they agree to that, I'll start to take them seriously. Until then, they're only circulating hot air.

Who the hell came up with a 370 mile fence? The insanity continues.

"This is not amnesty, so let's get the terms right," Sen. Chuck Hagel ....lectured fellow Republicans who condemned the bill. "Come on. Let's stop the nonsense."

I just love these condescending and insulting Senators.
What's next for Hagel / Martinez ?
A bill making the penalty for breaking and entering - that you automatically become a member of the family whose home you just burgled ?

>Bush has now crossed the line which Clinton drew in 1998.<

Certified!

I don't know who he gets his marching orders from, but I'll guess B bergs.

Look, we've now got over 12 million here, and look at the "peacefull" marches. They are here for One Reason. Riots.

Gee, then all the sheep will want/need More Homeland Security.

Sorta plays like a class c disney movie, all too predictable.

Who ever suggested NOT keeping faith with those trying to immigrate legally?

Giving others a break doesn't necessarily have to take anything away from them.

Without first over whelming the USA with a illiterate majority, the new world order will never happen. Both parties want it to happen. Neither gives a damn what we want.

Bush is a War President with a mandate. As Patriotic Americans, we must trust him in his role as the Decider. Questioning him in a time of war only gives aid and comfort to our enemies

You're joking, right? Please tell me you're joking.

This is like putting a fench around one tenth of your yard and calling it secure.

I agree with him. And President Bush. It's not amnesty.

I call free and automatic legal status at no cost, amnesty.

That is not what is being proposed.

Of course those who disagree can call it amnesty or shamnesty or anything they want. I really don't care.

We have reached the point where Eternal Rome, before the forces of Alaric in 410 AD, caved in rather than fight. The invasion in 410 was quite similar, a population push and a wish to benefit from the wealth of the established nation.

"The president doesn't want to enforce immigration law because he's afraid he'll inconvenience someone who wants to come into the country for a better life."

Words just can't describe the disgust I feel about this statement. What about the inconvenience of the American citizens that have to pay for this?

Hey Jorge. Let me explain to you when it's not amnesty. It's not amnesty when they go back to their country of origin and apply for either citizenship or a work visa through the already established protocols. There now, wasn't that easy? Have I missed something here? No? I thought not.

Uh, yeah Desron13, you missed a lot.

Mainly the huge and obvious fact that you don't define what amnesty is for all of us.

Sorry, but many of us say you're wrong. Get used to it.

They can call it whatever they want but its amnesty. And they're willing to build a fence only for 370 miles of the border. What a joke!
