Oppose Amnesty for Illegal Aliens

The Coalition for the Future American Worker (CFAW) ^

[Coleus]

Urge your representative and senators to oppose amnesty for illegal aliens, in any shape or form.

 

The Bush administration will continue to push for some form of amnesty. A statement posted on the White House website (http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/immigration/) in a report covering President Bush’s January 7th White House meeting during which he discussed his immigration policy, stated:

 

“On January 7, 2004 President Bush proposed a new temporary worker prrogram to match willing foreign workers with willing U.S. employers when no Americans can be found to fill the jobs. The program would be open to new foreign workers, and to the undocumented men and women currently employed in the U.S. This new program would allow workers who currently hold jobs to come out of hiding and participate legally in America’s economy while not encouraging further illegal behavior.”

 

Incredibly, the same statement adds: “President Bush does not support amnesty because individuals who violate America’s laws should not be rewarded for illegal behavior and because amnesty perpetuates illegal immigration.”

 

However, there is strong opposition in Congress among the president’s own party. A January 12th Reuters news report noted that Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo), who heads the House Immigration Reform Caucus, was determined
to block any amnesty legislation.

Of course the President is opposed to amnesty and has never proposed it but why lets facts get in the way of a good rant?

[Howlin]

Your link at the top doesn't work.

This "story" is over a year old.

[Coleus]

of course the washington times (a newspaper loved by freepers) is lying

"and some are blaming President Bush's immigration proposal in January for enticing immigrants across the border."

http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20040416-120211-3587r.htm

Could it be the Jan 7th speech?

[Howlin]

“President Bush does not support amnesty because individuals who violate America’s laws should not be rewarded for illegal behavior and because amnesty perpetuates illegal immigration.”

[endthematrix]

"individuals who violate America’s laws should not be rewarded"

Whew! I'm glad that's taken care of. What exactly are they doing to violators? Deporting them? Nope.

[TheBrotherhood]

Bump.

[Howlin]

I'll put you down in the "Do Nothing" column.

[endthematrix]

I'm not in the "Do ANYTHING" column, just guard the border, enforce the laws and give social services the task to identify illegals. Give local LE authority to question, detain and deport and bill the Feds for the cost.

[Howlin]

Of course, you realize that the Bush Administration IS doing that now, right?

Give local LE authority to question, detain and deport

They did.

The Bush "plan" is the only serious contender out there; if it isn't implemented in some form, there's going to be nothing offered in its place.

[nopardons]

No,you're in the "FORTRESS AMERICA" column and nothing else will ever please you.

Did you even listen to what President Bush said last night?

[bayourod]

Most political observers agree that if President Bush had not increased his Hispanic vote about 10 points over his year 2000 percentage, he would not have won the election.

Had President Bus not made the efforts he did during the last four years to attract Hispanic voters we would have a President Kerry today.

If we alienate the Hispanic voters with racists talk about them destroying our culture, ruining our neighborhoods, being gang criminals, welfare abusers, unloyal, disease ridden, lazy, unsanitary, etc... we will not get enough of their votes to win the White House in 2008.

If we had not won this last year and if we don't win in 2008 we will probably never change the abortion laws in our lifetime.

All economists recognize the need for immigrant labor in America now. The current immigration laws aren't allowing a sufficient number in. Now we can simply raise the number of immigrants allowed in and expedite the process where it only takes a few weeks to get a green card instead of several years, or instead we can enact a guest worker program that only allows the number and type of immigrant laborers needed in, and who will return home after several years.

We can discuss immigration in a non-offensive manner or we can revert to the insulting, inflammatory rhetoric that the Buchanan/Tancredo, FAIR, CIS etc... professional fundraisers use to solicit contributions from racists and xenophobes.

If we alienate our Hispanic voters , hundreds of millions of babies will die in the following decades.

[endthematrix]

Thanks for your asumptions.

Yeah the speech was great, and I agree regarding the end result being a closed border and his rejection of amnesty. I don't necessarily believe the effort has been made.

[endthematrix]

"hundreds of millions of babies will die"

If you ended that with a /sarcasm tag, I'd say that was a good one. Are you in advertising? Used cars?

[nopardons]

You're the one who made ASSumptions;not I.

The majority of the problems re illegal aliens are on the state and local levels;yet most people on FR rush to blame President Bush for everything.

[82Marine89]

This is where I get called a racist for supporting the deportation of all illegal immigrants, so I might as well say I support the deportation of all illegal immigrants with the cost of this operation to be deducted from the Constitutionally unauthorized aid we send the country in question.

[bayourod]

You're correct, I should have said tens of millions instead of hundreds of millions.

But if we lose the Hispanic vote like we lost the black vote because of racists such as Buchanan, we may never win the White House again. How many abortions will take place in the next 50 years?

[endthematrix]

I'm the first to say Bush is commendable in that he split the INS. One half attempting to get illegals here, the other processing deportation hearings -crazy! It is true that problems are at the state and local levels. It is there that the majority of the public and private organizations encourage and perpetuate it. As for the Fed level, porous borders is a national security concern.

[endthematrix]

I read a "good" CBS poll on black voting. A staggering percentage of blacks are fed up with the democrats. They feel left behind, duped and used for an agenda. But they still voted for that party.
