President Bush was so buoyed by the warm reception he was given in Albania that he immediately gave all 3 million Albanians American citizenship, provided they learn Spanish. The offer was withdrawn when Bush found out most Albanians haven't broken any U.S. laws.
Bush keeps claiming he's dying to enforce the border, but he just can't do it unless we immediately grant amnesty to 12 million illegal aliens. I wonder if that worked on Laura Bush:
Laura: George, it's time you quit drinking.
George: OK, honey, let's discuss it over cocktails.
How about Bush enforce the border and then we'll discuss his amnesty plan?
He assures us that granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants already here won't inspire millions more to run across the border because ... he's going to put infrared lights at the border!
Well, that's a relief. What precisely will infrared lights do again? This is worse than those fake cameras they sell at hardware stores to make it look like you have cameras outside your house. We still need something or someone – say, a wall or a Border Patrol agent – to stop the Mexicans illegally crossing the border as we watch them on the infrared cameras.
Bush won't build a wall, and he keeps prosecuting law enforcement officers who stop illegal border crossers. But trust him: He'll get right on that border enforcement business as soon as we grant amnesty to 12 million illegal aliens.
Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean are normally the sort of Mexican-Americans Bush would tear up at while promoting amnesty for illegal aliens. Both served in the military and are taxpaying, law-abiding citizens. They've been risking their lives as Border Patrol agents for years.
Ramos was nominated for Border Patrol Agent of the Year in 2005. His nomination received a major setback when the Bush administration decided to put him in prison instead. Ramos and Compean are now serving more than 10 years apiece in solitary confinement for chasing a drug-running illegal alien back to Mexico.
Bush's pal, U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, gave immunity to a Mexican drug dealer hauling a million dollars worth of drugs across the border so the drug dealer could testify against two Border Patrol agents who shot him in the buttocks.
The Border Patrol agents were presumed guilty of an unlawful shooting because they neglected to fill out the proper paperwork. For busting a cap in the butt of a drug courier crossing the border illegally – who was so mortally wounded that he proceeded to scamper back to Mexico – they were supposed to spend five hours filling out paperwork. This is what the Bush administration means when it talks about a "cover-up." As U.S. prosecutor Debra Kanof said, "You have to report any discharge of a firearm."
Intriguingly, Kanof also says: "The Border Patrol pursuit policy prohibits the pursuit of someone." (Hence, the oft-heard warning of the border agent in hot pursuit, "Stop or I'll ... do absolutely nothing!") Can we apply this rule to meter maids and tax collectors? At least now border agents will be able to watch the illegal aliens they can't pursue on infrared cameras!
But wait – that's not all! The Border Patrol agents also exceeded the speed limit. "In order to exceed the speed limit," Kanof said, "you have to get supervisor approval, and they did not." It's just so hard to fill out a written request to exceed the speed limit when you're off-roading at 65 mph. There's a whispering campaign suggesting that Ramos and Compean failed to use their turn signal.
As I understand it, you're also not supposed to cross the border illegally from Mexico with a van full of drugs. But the Bush administration has no interest in enforcing those laws. Ninety-eight percent of illegal aliens captured crossing the border illegally are not prosecuted. Those drugs are doing the job American drugs just won't do!
The Bush administration pulls out the big guns only for serious violations like a Border Patrol officer not filling out paperwork.
In addition to giving the illegal-alien drug smuggler full immunity to testify against U.S. Border Patrol agents, the government gave him taxpayer-funded medical care for his buttocks wound, an unconditional border-crossing card, the right to sue the U.S. for "civil rights" violations and a GAP gift card. The drug runner is also on the short-list to replace Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
He's now suing the U.S. for $5 million, but the Bush administration is hoping to bargain him down to $10 million.
That border-crossing card came in handy when the winged illegal alien brought in another load of drugs a short eight months later – for which he has still not been charged, nearly two years later. Who does he think he is? Rep. William Jefferson?
Bush's pal Sutton keeps defending his decision to prosecute Border Patrol agents for paperwork violations, rather than an illegal alien for drug trafficking, on the grounds that the drug dealer has not been charged with any crimes. Let's see, whose job is it to charge that Mexican drug runner with a crime? Why, I believe that would be Johnny Sutton!
Maybe Sutton was too busy prosecuting another Mexican-American law enforcement officer for trying to stop illegal aliens from crossing our border. Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez shot at the tires of a van full of illegal aliens, inadvertently wounding one of them. Sutton prosecuted Hernandez. The government proceeded to give the illegal aliens green cards and $100,000 each.
I didn't realize "living in the shadows" meant in the shadows of palm trees around the pools at taxpayer-funded houses.
Illegal aliens might want to rethink Bush's amnesty plan. The only Hispanics Bush seems to prosecute are the ones who are law-abiding U.S. citizens.
Ann has more to work with lately.
LOL !!!! Excellent!
Reminds me of last silent auction I went to at the synagogue.
The vendor wrote down the minimum bid hw dould accept, and the patrons scratched it out and wrote down succedingly lower numbers.
“Illegal aliens might want to rethink Bush’s amnesty plan. The only Hispanics Bush seems to prosecute are the ones who are law-abiding U.S. citizens.”
It’s a painful process, to be betrayed by a president you worked to support.

The actions of this administration are so utterly insane that it's hard to discern when a satirist is using rhetorical exaggeration. I frankly believe that the only hyperbole in the above quotes is the thing about the GAP gift card.
Ann must have thought, "How do I satirize this border bungling administration when they write and act out their own satire?"

Was Amnesty Bill a Strategery? - VANITY

Perhaps this whole Amnesty business is a sublime and supremely cunning strategery.
Now, I know you all may want to dismiss the possibility out of hand, but bear with me for a moment...
By promoting this bill, in one fell swoop President Bush has managed to:
a) Get almost the entire Democrat caucus in the Senate to come out in favor of Amnesty, which is very unpopular,And all it has cost him is a few points in the public opinion polls, which is irrelevant because he will never run for office again.
b) Forever link his old arch-nemesis, John McCain, to this very unpopular bill,
c) Get somewhere close to 80% of Americans to oppose Ted Kennedy, and
d) Kill the possibility of comprehensive immigration reform for the forseeable future.
Now the Republican field (except John McCain) can run against the President of their own party in 2008 by opposing him on this issue. The 800 pound Iraqi gorrilla has been replaced by a 1600 pound illegal immigration gorilla.
And the vast majority of Republicans (besides John McCain) are in a much better position to debate on this issue...CLICK HERE for the rest of that thread
Jorge Bush has become the object of contempt and ridicule of those who were his staunchest defenders. That is the price of sleeping with your enemies, mortal enemies such as Teddy Kennedy. Jorge Bush, is the Spanish speaking water carrying butt boy for Teddy Kennedy. Bush may be only person Kennedy associates with that speaks Spanish.
Unfortunately, that's all it is. If Bush wanted to actually prevent any move toward immigration 'reform,' without any real trouble, he could...um...I don't know...maybe...
ENFORCE THE CURRENT $#@!$@#! LAW!
Just say NO to Amnesty!! Keep calling!! It’s NOT OVER!!

You know, some of us quit on the guy with Miers. I think we were ahead of the curve, but there were others who saw it from the start, like billbears and freepatriot32, who deserve a little respect for their prescience. You sure don’t see a lot of ‘Bots around here spouting off any more about how Bush is an ideal bannerman. So let me get their Flavoraid distributor par excellence over here to put in his two pesos! C’mon, Johnnie! Tell us how Ann is the AntiChrist for being against the amnesty, er, ‘comprehensive immigration reform,’ and how those durn Border Patrol ruffians were understandably top priority for federal prosecution over drug-running illegal aliens. The RNC pays you good money to shill for El Presidente Jorge—earn it! Expose Ann for the know-nuthin’ she is, you cute li’l votary, you!
I have been wondering too where the Bushbots are. I was even accused for years of being a closet Democrat because I dared to question some of GWB’s previous initiatives. I sorely regret ever having voted for him for anything. I guess Pat Buchanan was right to vacate the GOP when he did though I hated to see him do that. Pat has been right far, far, far more than GWB.
Many of his staunchest defenders are now silent. They are trying to figure out how to get back in the cheerleading business just like their Cheerleader-in-Chief. Sorry, there is nothing to cheer: when those Border Patrol agents rot in prison, no American is safe under this administration.
I question everything about GWB. I would expect many more betrayals before liberation day on Jan. 20, 2009. And I shudder to think as to who the brilliant American people will give us to be “liberated” with.
