Well, I think your facts are reversed.  As you know, many conservative Republicans are not in favor of making helping an illegal alien from another country, for example Mexico, a crime.  As you probably also know, in spring and summer of this year, there were nation-wide protests relating to this hot-button issue.  However, at his press conference the other morning, President Bush proclaimed that he could pass his agenda as far as immigration goes.  Therefore, Dem's are more likely to help President Bush pass a law making assisting illegal aliens a felony.  Therefore, I believe that you have your facts reversed. Wouldn't you want to help your own people?  Unless many of the Mexican-Americans were uninformed of the Dem's stand on this issue, then I would have to say that they would not vote Dem's into office because of their stand on this issue.

I don't think that is what is going on at all. You people are missing George Bush's Republican politics. It's always about the Republican agenda. The Bush Administration is ruled by the base, and they don't like Mexicans. You people should know that by now after all of the bashing you have been getting. These people are bigots and racists, they actually hate other races, and they have been telling you this all along. Republicans hate Democrats too, it's being said every minute on these web pages. I am a Democrat, and I am a Liberal with my politics, and the Latinos should just be signed up, and the employers should be convicted of their crimes. I don't see why people that have been used and abused should suffer for the crimes of American criminals. You shouldn't. I wouldn't worry about any of it, because George Bush isn't going to do anything about it anyway, he is liar on most issues. Why should this one be any different, he is just talking to his stupid base, that will listen, for votes in November. The best thing the Latinos can do is vote Democrat, to get a reasonable legislation passed by Democrats, that will protect Civil Rights of all the people, including illegal immigrants. I wouldn't turn myself in at all, that would be stupid to trust these liars, they want to stab you all in the back like everybody else.

That would have been difficult, if not impossible. First, those demonstrations were in many different cities. Second, it's against the law to use the Army for police work (because of the posse comitatus act). Most importantly, though, many of those protesting were not immigrants. Some, many, were U.S. citizens protesting on the behalf of the immigrants. They're not required to carry proof of citizenship on them. so sorting them from the illegal immigrants would have been impossible. But even if all of those other things were not true, it would have been politically disastrous to round up mass quantities of people behving in an orderly manner.

The Senate shot it down.  The House passed it and the Senate would not, they are supposed to present another bill sometime this week, as to whether it gets to Bush or not is another thing.  Anyway he is a politician from Tejas, what possible benefit would slowing the flow of illegal immigration be to him?  It's not like Cheney could be elected.  Thank God!!

If the same percentage of the population protested in the U.S. that came out in France, Bush would be anti-war so fast it would make everyones head spin\n\nHe is already firing everyone in his cabinet, just because his poll numbers are down... hahaha...\n\nAnd if the immigration marches are half as big as they say they will be on May 1... the "fit will hit the shan" in that situation too and illegals will be legal in about a week... \n\nIt's all about numbers.. you just need enough people... like a few million... protests during vietnam has a large impact and during the civil rights movement they also had an impact... but only a few thousand here or there won't do any good.... you have to show that a lot of people won't take it anymore and if you don't change it, you will be voted out... apparently not enough people care about the war in the U.S. right now

It is possible to support the "President" and Not support bush the man.\nIn a way we all support the President of the United States\n(except those extreme left wing nut jobs who even Liberals like myself hate)\nIts g. bush the man who needs to be called to task. bush failed his country and as good Americans it is our duty to point this out.

Do you know anyone that is not proud of their heritage? Just because someone is proud of their heritage does not mean they support their government. Mexico's elections have been as close or closer than ours. So not everyone there is happy with their government. The last two president's who have narrowly won the elections have been Conservatives. Conservatives always neglect the poor and working class.

I support Bush except for his Immigration ideas.  I also do not support the Senate Immigration Bill.  The people do not want this immigration enforced.  All the illegals are here for is a job and not to become citizens.  Because of this, they are driving the wages down in the U.S..  Congress needs to put this Immigration Bill to a vote on a National level.  Let the citizens decide if the illegals stay or go home.  I have a feeling that the people would vote for the illegals to leave and submit the proper documents to come here legally.  That is why we have laws and our Congress should obey them as well as every citizen who lives in the U.S.

They know.  They just don't care, and they get angry when you try to correct them.  They want it their way, period, and to Hell with everybody else.\n\nRudeness is endemic in this country.  If you want to know why Bush was elected president, just look at the rude, arrogant behavior all around you.

That's right! But you forgot to tell them to go screw a goat while they're at it. \n\nAnd more of us voted for Bush than voted for Kerry. There's a lot more Bush supporters than people realize, but they get tired of being shouted down by the whacked out liberals who don't like him.

No.  In my opinion, people who voted for "B"ush do lack some sort of intelligence (especially if they voted for him a second time).  But let's not forget, Bush didn't even win the popular vote the first time.  That obviously implies that they were a lot of people who didn't vote for him (common sense).  \n\nA statement like yours is a gross over-generalization that just sounds unintelligent.  Not all "A"mericans voted for Bush or agree with how things are being run.  There are people everyday who work to minimize the damage that he's doing, tirelessly.  \n\nSo I think that the best thing for people who wish to judge all Americans based on one leader or representative they see on television every now and then is to pick up an American History book or call any halfway intelligent American and talk to them before making an ignorant statement like that.

Whats wrong with George P Bush being half Latino?  \n\nI thought this debate was about illegals?  Not natural born US citizens.  You really have a problem with Latinos,illegal, legal or natural born.  Why don't you just admit your a shameless bigot?  \n\nIf your 'afraid' Latinos are going to take over this country, they already have, your a little to late buddy.  \n\nJust wait 20 more years, we'll be the majority, whatcha gonna do then, racist?

It's a lot of things in play - I cannot write enough to explain the dynamics that made southerners vote for Bush and think that he's protecting the US, but I will try.\n\nI lived and worked in NY on 9/11.  I saw the towers fall.  I now live in the bible belt.\n\nSoutherners are far from NY, although they kept up with the news on 9/11 - they don't quite get the impact of what happened on that fateful day. \n\nI can see why - they do not care for the north.  I have been called Yankee so many times I/m sick of it.  They tell me to discourage Yankees from moving south.  And they have not forgotten they lost the Civil War.\n\nThe military bases are a major source of income and employment and entertainment too (night clubbing)- southern folks are very proud of them. \n\nNYers do not dislike the military but hey do not pay as much attention to the 'uniform' as they do in the south. The military bases are not front and center as they are in the south.\n\nAnd (the most important) Bible Belt means BIBLE.  George Bush knew what he was doing when he made these people feel he was a godly man!  Even blacks in the south voted for him because of his stance on biblical beliefs about homosexuality.\n\nThe citizens in my town (I live in a rural area) believe in an eye for an eye - they wanted revenge for 9/11 and it does not matter which Arab citizen pays.  They do not debate the wisdom in declaring war in Iraq and what it may mean - they would rather enlist and fight whoever they have to.\n\nBush knows these people, he appealed to them and they responded the way he knew they would.

Don't vote Republican, and allow them to screw the Latino people anymore. That's all the Latinos need to know, since the Republicans have been letting them know publicly, how they really feel about them. Latinos vote the republicans out and free America.

It didn't help at all. Think about it, Mexicans are marching in American streets chanting in Spanish, draping themselves in the Mexican flag, and dragging and stomping the American flag(yes, they stomped on the American flag, I saw footage of it from one of the protests). This is supposed to gather support from Americans. It solidified my postion against illegals. \n\nP.S. A Latino is one of Latin American decent or related to Spain.

I know that my last neighbor, who is gay and living with his boyfriend, voted for Bush. When I asked him why he would since Bush is against gay rights, he said he agreed with most of what Bush stood for except for the anti-gay tendencies. He went on to say that he wasn't concerned about getting married and since Bush wasn't pro-gay-discrimination (in an active sense), he didn't feel Bush's views on gays impacted his life. So he voted for him.\n\nThat's a Republican for you, though, huh? :)
