SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - President Bush on Wednesday signed a homeland security bill that includes an overhaul of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and $1.2 billion for fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border to stem illegal immigration.
Standing before a mountainous backdrop in Arizona, a state that has been the center of much debate over secure borders, Bush signed into law a $35 billion homeland security spending bill that could bring hundreds of miles of fencing to the busiest illegal entry point on the U.S.-Mexican border.
Bush said enforcement alone will not stop illegal immigration, and urged Congress to pass his guest worker program to legally bring in new foreign workers and give some of the country's estimated 11 million illegal immigrants a shot at U.S. citizenship.
"The funds that Congress has appropriated are critical for our efforts to secure this border and enforce our laws, yet we must also recognize that enforcement alone is not going to work," Bush said at the bill-signing ceremony tucked into his three-day campaign fundraising trip to the West. "We need comprehensive reform that provides a legal way for people to work here on a temporary basis."
Among other things, Bush said the homeland security funding bill deploys nuclear detection equipment to points of entry, raises safety security standards at chemical plants, provides better tools to enforce immigration laws and provides vehicle barriers, lighting and infrared cameras to help catch illegals trying to cross the border.
"It's what the people in this country want," Bush said. "They want to know that we are modernizing the border so we can better secure the border."
Yes it would
It would make the Democrats look like they were on a witch hunt for gays .. whether they wanted to be outed or not
With all the gay bars and online dating services around these days .. one would think he wouldn't have to stoop to something as low as going after teenage boys
Fantastic post, Sofaman! Thanks a million.
Stuck to the corpse of popsicle ObL is an envelope addressed to William Jefferson, Democrat, Louisiana, and containing over $100,000 in cash and a handwritten note, "Keep half for yourself and give the rest to Nancy."
Yup
nothing but rumors....
now you can still accuse ME of being the bad guy here- or you can live up to your name and do some homework, and fight back instead of getting mad at others for warning you what is coming....
Why not just say what you knew? What's the big mystery?
Because I CAN'T! You get that!
I have tried to tell all you ALL DAY!
Don't you think I would have LOVED to have put all this on MY OWN WEB SITE and "gotten credit" or hits...
I am NOT kidding... integrity means something to me, it just does.
OH, I'm sure you're very important. LOL!
wow- just wow...this isn't about me at all.. it is about the LIBS getting control, and then see how well the war on terror goes...
wow....
God bless....
You could have fooled me. I'm really not sure what value you bring to the discussion, by running around all day like chicken little, claiming how terribly bad things were going to be. But I was willing to let it go.
But you just had to come back on tonight and say ...."see I told you". Well I'd like to know what you think has happened. Because I haven't heard anything earth shattering, but apparently you have so..... do tell.
That is, if your integrity can be held up while you do.
look- ya know- I am not interested in fighting with other FREEPERs...
I came back on- because you had accused me of just spreading rumors...
not cool.
I don't, and never have been into rumors.
There is a lot more to this...
I let your "spreading rumors" comment go- because I figured you would be at least willing to admit that that is NOT what I was doing....once this stuff started to break...
I honestly am not interested in fighting with you...and nothing makes me feel GOOD about any of this...NOTHING...This has been a hard day...I am so disappointed in the R's I could spit and scream....
This whole thing is a mess now...and it didn't have to be...I am not kidding when I say we literally handed the Libs and media all this crazy attention....
There is a lot more to this... "
There you go again. What do you mean? And when all WHAT started to break?
I was gone for a week, so I missed a lot. I'm baaaaaack.
