Bush will never do that and in a few more years it will be too late to do that.

Probably right, but I'm waiting to see who he appoints as Ziglar's replacement. If it's just another do-nothing beltway "moderate" then we'll know for sure.

And he'll get huge political influence within the greatest nation on earth as a bonus.

------------------------

The invasion is increasing at an exponential rate. Those that are here are moving heaven and earth to help more get across the border. Within ten years California, and several other states will be demographically, culturally, and politically overwhelmed to the point of being Mexican provinces with the ability to vote themselves subsidies from the remainder of the country. Those subsidies will finance further invasion. One quarter of this nation will be conquered and will have political leverage nationally. Bush will grin with his usual stupid facial expression and say he loves all kinds of people.

SOrry, the English translation coming soon. Interesting election analysis comments today from Mexican daily newspaper on "how election impacts Mexico":

Cómo impactará el resultado a México José Carreño/Corresponsal El Universal Jueves 07 de noviembre de 2002 Washington. La victoria republicana deja al presidente Bush con libertad de acción y el sitio de la relación con México en su agenda dependerá de su voluntad y la prioridad que les asigne, consideraron analistas y expertos. Por lo menos uno, el académico Robert Leiken del Centro Nixon, advirtió que si bien la victoria de Bush fortalece su posición y le da manos libres en lo político, se debió en gran medida al impacto de los ataques del 11 de septiembre de 2001, que al mismo tiempo son la razón de la resistencia estadounidense a un acuerdo que implique la legalización de inmigrantes ilegales. Una veintena de extremistas musulmanes secuestró en esa fecha cuatro aviones de pasajeros y lanzaron tres de ellos contra las torres gemelas de Nueva York y el Pentágono en Washington, para causar unos 3 mil muertos y daños directos o indirectos por más de 600 mil millones de dólares. Su acción creó una reacción contraria a los inmigrantes en general y los indocumentados en particular. Pero la regularización de la situación de mexicanos indocumentados y un nuevo acuerdo migratorio con Estados Unidos son una prioridad del presidente Vicente Fox, recordó John Bailey, de la Universidad de Georgetown. "Ambos temas son difíciles en tiempos normales, pero ahora que el Partido Republicano controla ambas cámaras una iniciativa de esta magnitud es más fácil que con control dividido", añadió. En ese marco, lo que pase con Latinoamérica, con México y la agenda bilateral, incluso migración, es ahora responsabilidad de Bush y los republicanos, indicó Terry McAuliffe, presidente del Comité Nacional Demócrata. Con el Congreso en manos del partido del presidente, la importancia de esos temas "va a depender de la voluntad del presidente".

Yoda-like English, from Alta Vista (sorry!):

"Washington. The republican victory leaves to president Bush with freedom of action and the site of the relation with Mexico in its agenda will depend on its will and the priority that assigns to them, considered analysts and experts. At least one, the academic Robert Leiken of the Nixon Center, warned that although the victory of Bush fortifies its position and gives free hands him in the politician, had to a great extent to the impact of the attacks of the 11 of September of 2001, that at the same time are the reason of the American resistance to an agreement that implies the legalization of illegal immigrants. A twenty of Muslim extremists kidnapped in that date four passenger airplanes and sent three of them against the twin towers of New York and the Pentagon in Washington, to cause about 3 thousand dead and direct or indirect damages by more than 600 billion dollars. Its action created an enemy counterattack to the immigrants in general and the undocumented people in individual. But the regularización (legalization) of the situation of Mexican undocumented people (ILLEGAL ALIENS-my comment) and a new migratory agreement with the United States is a priority of president Vicente Fox, remembered John Bailey, of the University of Georgetown. "Both subjects are difficult in normal times, but now that the Republican Party controls both cameras an initiative of this magnitude is easier that with divided control", he added. In that frame, which happens with Latin America, Mexico and the bilateral agenda, even migration, is now responsibility of Bush and the republicans, indicated Terry McAuliffe, president of the Democratic National Committee. With the Congress into the hands of the party of the president, the importance of those subjects "is going to depend on the will of the president".

I noticed that last line too. I think you are right. Behind the scenes subversion of the United States is exactly what the democrats are doing. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that democrat leaders are dealing with foreign leaders behind the president's back. They are spineless, mealy-mouthed, soulless weasels.

My guess is that Clinton has been speaking for the Democrat party, abroad. Someone needs to put a muzzle on him, or at least make it clear that he has no negotiating power.

"Bush has already made his sympathies for mass immigration known."

That may be, but I firmly believe that (245i) was shelved because of a massive influx of letters, calls and emails expressing angry resistance to any attempt on the part of this administration to grant any degree of amnesty to illegal aliens. The parties may both have an ongoing desire to extend amnesty but know that the people have no taste nor tolerance at this time for it. Bush is not stupid. He cannot afford to support such an unpopular piece of legislation and certainly not before he comes up for re-election.

I think because of this, the next 2 years is the perfect time for us to bombard our senators and congressmen and the president with with correspondence aimed at defeating any furthur efforts by Fox to have illegals "normalized". Furthur, we should push for criminalization of militant latino groups who are essentially inciting war on our own soil to promote the interests of a foreign power (Mexico) at our expense.

"If Bush wants to win in 2004, it would be a good idea for him to tell that pest Vicente Fox and his Marxist side-kick Castaneda to shove off once and for all.... right before putting troops on our borders and ordering a mass round-up and deportation of all illegal aliens."

Well, that and choosing Tancredo for a running mate. That would be a tough act to defeat. I can dream can't I?

"There has been talk about the Hispanic vote (much of it Mexican) helping GOP candidates in some key races last Tues. Do you think that may mute efforts of Bush to clamp down on illegal immigration?"

Let's just assume that these were legal Mexicans. From what I understand, legal Mexican immigrats resent illegal ones who bypass all the redtape and waiting that they themselves had to do to get here and yet they get the same services and benefits. I say we should build on that. And if the "illegals" helped the GOP, we really don't need that kind of help and if we take that element out of the mix, the Rats can't exploit it either.
