If Bush and  Fox said "let's open the borders everyone come and go as you please" what would ur reaction be?

Go for it. Eventually the correct balance would work out.

I don't know his reasoning behind the Minuteman thing.  I have to say I was kind of surprised by that.  It may just be that he doesn't want an international incident while we are working things out still, domestically.\n\nI think he really does want to strengthen the border, so in that sense I don't think he is 'supporting illegal immigration'.  He is then trying to increase legal immigration through a guest worker program, since people wanting cheap labor was obviously one of the reasons the problem got where it did.  If his program worked perfectly (people actually go back at the end of their visas, etc.) it would mean we would still get immigrants, but at least they would be in the system.  Meanwhile the criminals and terrorists could be kept out.\n\nStopping the flow of illegal immigrants has a huge economic effect on Mexico, granted it was because our money was being sent 'home' there while the services for supporting the worker and his family were being used in this country.  It would be something any Mexican President would be interested in, and both Fox and his leftist opponent are running on platforms based on OUR immigration laws.\n\nI think Bush's main priority is the national security issue of securing the border, and he has the other elements in place to build a consensus and (with regards to the illegals already here) for reasons of practicality and humanity.\n\nI wouldn't think it was a bad system as long as the border were secured BEFORE legal immigration were increased.  However, there are absolutely people lobbying for even more relaxed immigration.  The pro-illegals are asking for a rolling statute of limitations that would make illegal immigrants legal if they could get here illegally and remain here for three years.\n\nContact the Senate Majority leader and House Leader with your concerns, since they will have the greatest impact on negotiating the actual Bill to be voted on.

Well, if you honestly are open to the answer.\n\nI would have been shocked and appalled the same way he was after 9/11 and I would have gone after Osama and taken out the Taliban the same way he did for harboring a fugitive.\n\nI too would have created an organization for all intelligence departments etc. but I would not have called it the dept of homeland security bringing language that sounds like the 3rd reich - probably the Intelligence and Security Organization Agency (ISOA).\n\nI would have done more to support the UN so that it was the UN that enforced it's resolutions, not just us.  I would not have taken us into Iraq with the minimal of world support we got on what was clearly wrong information (I know, you will say hindsight, but NOPE, there is proof the info was questionable even at the time.)\n\nHad I for some reason I cannot fathom gone into Iraq "alone" I would not have declared victory until we had it.  I would not have second guessed my generals and would have committed the resources necessary to protect my soldiers.\n\nI would not worry about amending the constitution for gay marriage, there are far too greater issues facing the totality of the country.  That is an issue for states to decide (14th amendment).\n\nI would have gotten on the Senate and their wussy border / immigration bill and made it clear we don't even talk about worker programs or amnesty until the borders are secure (especially since we are concerned with terrorists coming over.)\n\nYes, I would have made mistakes, but I think the most important thing is that I would have admitted to them and not given anyone the idea that I or my administration is above the law.  I would not have tolerated an inference of favoritism toward any industry or inference of illegality anywhere near my administration.  I also would not have given jobs to my buddies, but rather those that were qualified. (that would have helped Katrina victims a tad better.)\n\nYou are right, he has done some good, but you asked the question and that is my answer. (like you really wanted it).

"You know, I'm not a supporter of boycotts. I am a supporter of comprehensive immigration," Bush told a Rose Garden news conference, referring to efforts to reach an immigration deal with the US Congress.\n\nBush urged the protesters to show respect.\n\n"You know, I think it's very important for people, when they do express themselves, they continue to do so in a peaceful way, in a respectful way, respectful of ... how highly charged this debate can become," he said.\n\nImmigration has split Congress, the Republican Party and public opinion. Conservatives want the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants returned to Mexico and a fence built along the border.\n\nBush and others want a guest-worker program and a path to citizenship. Most agree some reform is needed to stem the flow of the poor to the world's biggest economy.\n\nBush said "most Americans agree that we've got to enforce our border" but that a temporary guest-worker program is needed as a way to get rid of an illegal smuggling network that brings people across the border and forges documents.

Kick out illegals! Make English mandatory! Build a giant fence at the borders.\nMr. Bush, take the 'problem' seriously (no more tiptoeing around)!

It's about time someone stand up for this huge, illegal immigration invasion that is going on.\nSure hope this is true. I have not heard this yet.\nI don't think anyone will be running scared yet. They will just migrate to another state.\nIt will take alot more of the states to get involved before anything, as minute can actually be noticed. Let's give it our best. Hat's off to you NC.

YES! YES! YES!\nThank you for pointing this out.\nI can just picture it now....I know what those terrorists are doing. They are all sitting around a campfire in a cave with their robes, and machine guns, the one at the head of the group has a radio held closely to his head (the reception is terrible in those caves), and he is translating to his croonies the remarkable words of Rush Limbaugh.......I can hear it now....."Ahmed, Rush says that Michael J Fox is faking it, Praise Allah, now we can take all of America, let's start in Miami, we will say we are Cuban and they will have to let us in. Besides, they are putting up a fence to keep out the Mexicans and we will never make it across that way!.....Wait, Habib, there is more, our hero John Kerry just made a joke, Now we cannot fail, we can kill them all! Call Osama, yes I know he isn't in Iraq, stupid Americans, call Afghanistan, you know, where the Americans are not, and we will get started Nov 8 when the Democrats take over the House, they will welcome us with open arms to kill them! I just hope that big, scary Rumsfield doesn't try to stop us, he is so smart".............blah, blah, blah\n\nI live for this sh*t

I like that idea.....hmmmmmm How could they get President Fox to step down...Good idea.

Shocked and appalled.\n\n\nYou scared me..eek. That would suck if that happened.\nHopefully Bush will still be president if that happens, he'll handle it.

A bit off topic perhaps, but your question reminds me of Carlos Mencia's solution to getting all of the illegals out of the U.S.: \n\nWe should completely open the border. Then all of the illegals come up into the U.S. and it gets too crowded here and all of the people they were trying to get away from in Mexico will be here so they'll migrate North to get away again and they'll all be Canada's illegal immigrants and we can change the slur to from "wetbacks" to "frostbacks."

Naturally!!  Would expect every American to be interested in securing our borders and enforcing our laws!

Hey, why can't we do both, enforce the existing laws, and throw the Illegals out of here. What would Mr. Fox think if he saw 12 million United States Citizens walking across the border into his country?\nI really fear that our government is going to do the wrong thing. What kind of message will it send out to the rest of the world if our government says everybody is welcome for a free ride. I think it will be the end of the United States. This is a big issue and you can bet that the "axis of evil" countries are waiting to pounce on us. They will recognize a chink in our armor.We need to put armed troops on our borders today.\nPersonally, I really don't care if they are trying to do better for their families. I served my country to do my part in ensuring freedom for My family, and My fellow Americans, not for Illegal immigrants and their families. Let those so called men, go home and serve their own countries, instead of running away from it. And I am getting tired of all those so called Americans telling me to be more tolerant. Jesus was tolerant. I am not Jesus.\nI also agree that the Catholic church needs to butt out of our National Affairs. We don't tell them how to run the Vatican.

Promises Promises\n\nNeither will do what they say they will.  The immigration issue is sort of moot, because Bush already signed the immigration bill a couple weeks ago.  I have not heard anything on their part in how they are going to treat immigrants on the local level though.\n\nChris Bell is the agriculture guy, so he would be against the horse slaughters.

It's a wonderful idea. I would love to go help build it! Unless, of course, George comes to his senses and puts the national guard onto building it.\n\nAnd YES, the border needs to be closed to all people unless they come across at legal checkpoints with proper identification.

Bush withdrew all the funding.  He wants open borders and no guards.  \n\nhttp://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52576

I'm so ready....I hope that there will be no more Bushes in the White House b/c they all piss me off. I think that anyone else would be a better president than the one we have right now!
