Bush Admin Talks Tough on Immigration
Bush Admin Talks Tough on Immigration
Since initially assuming office, the Bush Administration has been signally somnolent regarding the number one domestic concern of a large percentage of its loyal base – illegal immigration. Indeed, the Bush Administration has, in effect, turned a blind eye to the country’s “broken borders.” President Bush has even – ham-handedly – distanced himself from the wildly popular “Minutemen” movement, whereby ordinary citizens do for us what our Federal behemoth simply refuses to do: Namely, watch our borders.
Well, yesterday, the heretofore remarkably unnoteworthy Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff – under whose purview immigration control falls – came out of nowhere and said, “Our goal at DHS (Homeland Security) is to completely eliminate the 'catch and release' enforcement problem, and return every single illegal entrant, no exceptions.”
Hmmm. Wonder where THAT came from? Couldn’t be that the President has finally woken up from his Midnight Summer’s Dream of riding bikes and cutting brush in Crawford to find out that he has virtually lost his base – after some five years of sticking them in the eye on everything from Government spending, campaign finance “reform,” and – yes – illegal immigration. Now, with the Harriett Miers nomination blowing up in his face, Bush has – in two weeks’ time – NAMED OUR ENEMY (Islamofascists) in the War on Terror for the first time; and permitted his Homeland Czar Chertoff to speak of deportation.
As Michael Savage said on his radio program yesterday: “I’ll believe it when I see it.”

Bush himself said yesterday that it must be part and parcel of a guest worker program with green cards issued PRIOR to any other action. I do agree that there are jobs Americans simply won't do, ie picking lettuce, but there are others where we're being lied to for the sake of businesses who want cheap labor. I really believe that the whole thing is a circle where we need to address cutting welfare so Americans WILL take some of those jobs in question, and at the same time send illegals home. But that's just a dream in my world:)
Did you really believe Bush??? I don't know. He might just be telling us what we want to hear.
hi sk! Thank you for the comment! What michael savage proposes is making all the "homeless" pick our lettuce. Remember, that illegal immigration artificially depresses EVERYONE's pay. If we ship them home, our wages go up. then it will be easier to pay someone a LITTLE more to pick lettuce. I think we are pretty much in agreement. Dreams can be good. -- gunjam
hi mil mom!
Of course! I believe EVERY WORD Bush utters. (And I don't look at his actions to the contrary, either: e.g., sitting on his hands for the past five years about illegal immigration -- and before that, as governor of TX!) -- gunjam
