Bush hasn't done anything right.\n\nIf a person has not gone through the process under U.S. law to become a citizen of this country, then the person should have NO RIGHTS PERIOD.

I believe that Bush wants to offer blanket amnesty to all illegal aliens in the United States, as long as they submit to background checks and make their presence known in the country.  He calls this his "guest worker" policy, much like they have in Europe.  Foreign immigrants, he says, will fill the jobs that no one else will take.  Although this sounds racist and perhaps elitist, it is common practice in every part of the world, including Europe and Asia.  He doesn't want to kick anyone out, as I understand it.  It is one of the few Bush policies that I agree with.

That's not a half bad idea. It is interesting that our government is pushing for amnesty when 75+ percent of US citizens do not agree. Seems our government doesn't speak for us anymore and they certainly aren't doing anything to defend our country.\n\nSend a brick to your congressman in Washington with a note saying "please build a wall at the border, here is a brick to get you started"\n\nStop the invasion of America!!!!

I don't approve of his way of handling immigration. He is giving away America. We should be helping our own American citizens before anyone else. I approve the way he is handling the war in Iraq. If he had just sat there after the attack on the twin towers, someone would be saying, Why didn't you do something. It's a no win situation. Don't approve of the way the gas prices can't are won't be controlled.  I think he is doing the right thing when it comes to homosexuality. I believe only a man and a woman should be able to marry. That is the only thing that should be considered a marriage. He has good and bad points. But who doesn't.

No, there should be no amnesty at all. If someone breaks a law and gets caught they should be punished. Illegal aliens are being given more rights than American citizens.

I'm a republican and I don't think he's going a good job with the border. He wants amnesty for all these people.  He is completely out of touch and has NO idea what the impact is going to be for the long term.  It doesn't take a genius from either party to figure out that massive illegal immigration is BAD for our country, and there hasn't been any single president that's had the cajones to do anything about it.

I work with a guy who was about 4 years old when his parents immigrated legally. He was not born here so when he got old enough he started the process to become a legal citizen. He paid for it, he did it the legal way and he has been here seventeen years and is about to get his citizenship. He is adamantly against illegal immigration. I makes him mad to think he went through the proper, legal. tedious process and those people could end up getting their amnesty without doing what he had to do. \n\nI'm sick of people claiming those illegal immigrants just want 'work to feed their poor families'. That is such a CROCK!  I have yet to see anyone coming across that border looking emaciated or starving. I see people from Ethiopia and other countries where they are REALLY starving, their children are DYING from malnutrition  and they would LOVE to come to the USA. They are POOR. The USA sends aid to those countries but we cannot take in millions of poor people to be supported by our taxes. It's the same with those illegally entering from our border with Mexico. We cannot continue to support unlimited numbers of people who just 'want a better life'. I want a better life, too. I can't just go move in with a rich person and demand they take care of me and my family, provide us with medical care, food, clothing and let me have the run of his house. It don't work that way. You have to live according to what YOU, YOURSELF, can provide. If they want a better life, make it better in their own country. They shouldn't slither into the USA and demand WE take care of them. They're not starving! They are no more poor than some of our own citizens. They need to get a real life in their own country.

I think it is great. I think 5 years is more than enough time for illegals to get their things in order and gain citizenship or leave. It's not because I think we are better than them. It's because I live in Northwest-Arkansas. And for those of you who don't know. There is a sign on the US side of the Mexican border that says "Come to Northwest-Arkansas for work" Well, that's great...because half of the people I know...can't get jobs, because illegals are taking them. How is that fair? This is the first right thing that Bush has done. Why protest it? I DO believe that illegal immigrants should have the right to the American Dream, if they gain citizenship. But when you think about it, The money that is taken out of your weekly paycheck, that is supposed to go to the Social Security Fund, (to help you and your family out later on in life) is paying for their healthcare and their housing in some cases. So, tell me, how is it fair that the people who are citizens, get to pay for the illegal immigrants' needs and get nothing in return. Do you think  there will be any money left, when it is your turn to need the Social Security money?

Posted by The Watchdog - April 6th, 2006 \nDavid M. Bresnahan\nApril 1, 2006\nNewsWithViews.com \n\nDear President Bush: \n\nI’m about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like You to ask you to assist me. I’m going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico,\n and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this. \n\nI plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.I’m sure they handle those things the same way you do here. \n\nSo, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I’m on my way over?Please let him know that I will be expecting the following: \n\n1. Free medical care for my entire family.\n2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need,whether I use them or not.\n3. All government forms need to be printed in English.\n4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.\n5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.\n6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying (UPSIDE DOWN) on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.\n7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.\n8. I will need a local Mexican driver’s license so I can get easy access to governmentservices.\n9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won’t make any effort to learn localtraffic laws.\n10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox toleave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.\n11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments\n     from the locals.\n12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don’t enforce any labor laws or tax laws.\n13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy. \n\nI know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won’t mind returning the\n favor if you ask him nicely. \n\nThank you so much for your kind help. \n\nSincerely, \n\nDavid M.

Bush is only trying to solve the problem of illegal immigration. There are millions of legal immigrants in America, and nobody's trying to send them back home.

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!!

It started due to the 11 million illegal insurgents in the country and more coming in each day. I too hope it does not pass AS WRITTEN due it does not include our President's\nidea for a national non-forge-able ID card for illegals along with some kind of work program (for those interested in working and not sucking on the welfare teat or doing drugs and gang crime) but I do not believe in amnesty for those that have violated our laws and our country's sovereignty.

Many people don't realize that we tried the amnesty thing in 1982(and several times before). Ronald Reagan signed a bill granting amnesty to illegal aliens with the understanding that any further aliens who entered illegally would be not granted this same priviledge. Now Bush and others want to do the same thing. When we will stop this. Is "This time we mean it !" enough ? It has to stop somewhere and now is better than later.\n\nI'm glad you mentioned the fake ID angle. Faking a Social Security card would get you or I thrown in prison with a felony.\n\nAnd language ? I work in a truckstop where aliens get a CDL license but speak no English. Nice to know that someone who knows little English can drive a 80,000 truck.

No one has ever been punished for Illegal immigration? Good Lord wake up.... Once upon a time they most certainly were. After 1986 amnesty is when everything began to go to hell.\n\nRefinement unfortunately. Wasn't enough the way it was introuduced.\n\nNo to amnesty.....No to healthcare....No to social services....No to Illegal employers.....No to anchor babies.....No to Social service help...No to drivers licences....No to temp workers programs....No to free education....No to manditory Spanish classes in our schools....no to spanish on labeling government documents.... Yes to boarder security priority.....Yes to enforcement of immigration limits.....Yes to Illegal employers fined and jailed.....Yes to Harboring Illegal immigrants being fined and jailed being enforced\n\n\n\nA DAY WITHOUT AMERICANS ! April 17, 2006! \n\nIn response to the recent mass national rallies fearlessly staged by the illegal alien lobby, The Dustin Inman Society is suggesting that Americans nationwide stay home from work and not spend any money on April 17. 2006 - income tax day. \n\n\nAPRIL 17, 2006 LEGAL Americans are being asked to stay home from work and not spend any money that day! Protest ILLEGAL aliens, their boycotts and marches, their taking of jobs, resources, welfare, healthcare, disobediance and defiance of American laws. Show congress that they may ignore our emails and phone calls, but we won't remain ignored! \n\nSupported by Americans for Legal Immigration \n\nhttp://alipac.us/ftopict-20151.html

All He Did Was Invite Millions More To Illegally Enter\nWatch The Run For The Border\nThey'll Be RUNNIN Here For The "PATH TO CITIZENSHIP"\n\nOn January 9, 2004, President Bush proposed a guest worker program - a thinly veiled amnesty for illegal aliens. \n\nA February 29, 2004, Fox News article subsequently stated that from 50 percent to 90 percent of illegal aliens apprehended claimed they were coming here for the "amnesty" (their words). One Border Patrol officer stated that "They believe that they are only responding to an invitation." \n\nOfficial Border Patrol apprehension statistics show that total 2004 apprehensions as of June 30, 2004 represent A 190 PERCENT INCREASE over total 2003 apprehensions.\n\n190 PERCENT INCREASE!!!\n\nHe Did The Exact Same Thing Tonight

about 6 months from when you cross the border, assuming that you came legally. If you are here illegally and you have been watching Mexican news on Univision, dont hold your breath. They make it sound like Bush will give papers to all illegal immigrants that are in the US, he does not have the power to do this on his own, the rest of the government has to agree. I dont think that it is very likely.
