Bush got behind a proposal to set aside money collected through fees and penalties for tougher border security and workplace enforcement. Two Republican senators, John Kyl of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, have proposed such an amendment. They finally admitted it, this is a bill to raise revenue for the treasury.
ARTICLE I
Section 7.
Clause 1.
All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

Its all for show. The President talks a good game but I don't believe him for a minute. Where's his Administration been on enforcing our immigration laws for the past six years? AWOL! DUH

I'll believe it when I see it. Not only the President but also SECHLS Chertoff and others in the Administration as well the "wayward" Senators need to re-vise their dimwitted ill-conceived ways ... publicly.

"They finally admitted it, this is a bill to raise revenue for the treasury." The "set-aside" is a SPENDING bill. The "illegal immigrant amnesty" bill itself contains revenue-raising provisions--not this one.
To: michigander
“Bush said the measure would ``show the American people that we’re going to do our jobs of securing this border once and for all.”
Sounds fair, Mr. President.
Start fulfilling your constitutional duties, particularly, to defend us from foreign invasion by actually enforcing our immigration laws, and in a year or so we’ll talk about a “guest worker program”.
But lo siento, no promises . . .

Remember the 1986 bill?

I heard Tony Snow on Laura Ingrham’s show this morning. Laura pointed out that we the people don’t trust government anymore so Snow used Reagan’s “Trust but verify” line.
Basically he said we should allow them to do what they want and then we’ll have a chance to verify that they were telling the truth. The only problem is that once it’s done it’s done and if they’re lying (they are) there won’t be anything we can do about it.

I ain't buying it.
Fence, deport, jail employers and landlords of illegals.
Do all that and do it well and then I may have some confidence in your intentions Mr. President. Not before.

To: michigander
Heard this statement earlier, so he will fund the border fence that was approved last session and that he also signed, as long as the senate amnesty bill passes?
Oh, and the senate bill has to pass or the so called fees to pay for it will never be collected. What a crock, how about funding and building the fence and border security before any other bill is even considered?
I am starting to concur with others on this board that The President doesn't really care about Americans anymore. What American in their right mind would want to destroy their own people and take their country and party down in the process?
