Huckabee just signed Jeff Sessions immigration pledge today. I think he will handle this problem differently as a President from what he did as a Governor. As a Governor he had to do what the federal government mandated as do all governors.
My biggest gripe with Bush has been the border issue, so I am very happy to see Huckabee sign the pledge.
Have any of the other candidates signed? Does anyone know? I did a search but didn’t find where anyone else has signed unless I missed it somewhere...lol
Bush forgets that it was not his Republican elites who put him and kept him in office, but millions of nobodies like us.
His elite buddies were the ones that advised him and mismanaged his campaigns, especially 2004, to the point where he almost gave away a sure landslide over a moron to a near loss.
Bush should not be miffed at Romney over immigration - it is we who should be miffed at Bush for the way he is trying to force illegal immigration down our throats so that his Chamber of Commerce and Wall Street buddies can have cheap labor and huge profits from that labor.
McCain stands up and tells middle class Americans that their lost jobs aren’t coming back and suck it up.
I’m looking forward to telling a defeated McCain that his job ain’t coming back and he should suck it up.
Borders, language, culture.
Something McLame, Huckafeller, and Jorge don’t seem to understand.
Great news! Go, Mitt!
The presence of Juan Hernandez in the background of the McCain campaign tells us that John McCain is as weak on border security now as he ever was. Dr. Juan Hernandez, a dual citizen of the US and Mexico, and past member of Vicente Fox’s Mexican government.....Hernandez is as open borders as you can get.
McCain should explain to voters/taxpayers Arizona's federal and state funding for the facilitation of border-crossing via the Arizona-Mexico Commission, and the Border Infrastructure Project implemented in collaboration with federal, state and local government agencies........that's OUR tax dollars.

THIS IS WHAT McCAIN SUPPORTS
Amnesty Will Cost U.S. Taxpayers at Least $2.6 Trillion
Heritage Foundation | June 6, 2007 | Robert Rector
EXCERPT McCain is for S.1348, the Senate amnesty bill that was recently defeated. S.1348 would grant amnesty to nearly all illegal immigrants currently in the United States. Overall, the net cost to taxpayers is likely to be at least $2.6 trillion. Illegal immigrants generally have very low education levels. 61 percent of illegal immigrant adults lack a high school diploma. Illegal immigrants have a poverty level that is roughly twice that of native-born Americans.
The Senate's bill would offer amnesty and a path to citizenship to 12 to 12.5 million illegals currently in the U.S. In addition, its lax evidentiary standards would encourage millions more to apply for amnesty fraudulently. Because there is no numeric limit on the number of amnesties that could be granted under the bill, the actual numbers who would receive amnesty under the bill could be far higher.
Eligibility for government benefits means that the former illegal immigrant or his family members obtains the same benefits as a U.S. citizen would have. Children born within the United States to illegal immigrants, including Z visa holders, are potentially eligible for all welfare benefits from the moment of birth through the reat of their lives. In addition, adult Z visa holders and their foreign-born children will be eligible for medical care under the Medicaid Disproportionate Share Program. Z visa holders will be given lawful Social Security numbers which makes them eligible for two refundable tax credits: The Earned Income Tax Credit and the Additional Child Tax Credit. These credits provides cash welfare assistance...
Irrespective of employment history, amnesty recipients will become eligible for 60 different federal welfare programs five years after receiving legal permanent residence. When the amnesty recipients reach retirement age, total benefits received will OUTSTRIP TAXES PAID BY ROUGHLY SEVEN TO ONE. (Excerpt) Read more at heritage.org

Bush can take his religous compassion and shove where the sun doesn’t shine.
In the months following 9/11, I really loved this guy. Now I think that President Bush needs to STFU, finish out his lamebrain term, go the hell back to Crawford and go fishing with his equally pusillanimous old man.
Interesting.
Gosh Mr. President. No need to worry. Romney never means what he says.
If anyone doesn’t think the calling isn’t important between now and Tuesday, read this exchange:
To: Matchett-PI
I have been calling for Romney all day. It’s amazing that there are still so many that are undecided between Mitt and McCain. Most of my undecideds said they would look at Romney again. One person from Teller County Colorado was telling me that she had no idea as to where to go on Tuesday, and no one she knew did either. What is going on out there? She wants input into the upcoming election, but nothing was sent to the voters in her area. This is unreal.

To All:
We have three days to stop McCain and if you want to help us you don’t even have to leave your house.
The calls you make that connect you to voters could put Mitt over the top, they could mean the difference in determining our next president. Please join us during all or some of the times we have set aside by emailing “I want to win” to CallatHome@MittRomney.com.
Pass this info on to as many people as possible.
McCain must be stopped! bttt

That's the best endorsement Romney could hope to get. All the other leading candidates support open borders.
Romney agrees with 80% of US citizens on the border issue.
I’m perplexed. Is this bush’s way of boosting Romney, or is he really so clueless about the base?
Does anybody still care what bush has to say on any domestic issue? I heard his “statement” Friday at the Hallmark plant, and he sounded retarded or something—almost a dead ringer for the old Will Farrell parody. What an embarrassment he has become.
Well, dirty tricks, lies and deceit from the Crist/McCAin camp...why does this NOT surprise me one bit. McCAin is a clone of the Clintons......
Oh was it? Well did anyone of them flipping SPEAK UP?
Bush-McLame-— a lousy pro-illegal combo!
Bush’s disastrous presidency has almost destroyed the conservative movement. McCain would take the worst qualities of Bush and double them. The fact that Bush doesn’t like Romney is a plus for Romney.
Maybe this hard line stance will help Mitt with the conservative base in 2012.
