His Ideals aren't liberal they are Anti-Union, Pro Corporation, Anti-Worker, Pro Elite. \n\nLiberals and Conservatives alike are wrong on this issue. We caused this problem by backing death squads in South America. We also backed the elites of Mexico who profited from American Corporations. There are either no jobs or the jobs pay poorly. That is our fault. However we are only responsible for helping the people of those countries we screwed up, fix them. We do not need to house your people or give up our jobs to you because you will do it cheaper.(You shouldn't have to do it for less by the way, your better than that.) We need to support people that will stand up for thier rights in there own countries. Stand Up to your government and we will support you.

republicans are the ones that somewhat understand the problem and the democrats don't understand anything. i loved bush's policy on illegal immigration....if it had been passed it would have been the first thing that bush did right throughout his entire presidency!!! i really hope that illegals don't get amnesty...they broke the law and should not get rewarded for doing so!!!

Come on do you really think it's Bush's doing? I swear the Democrates are hypocrite especially Hilary Clinton. Sean Hannity had a tape of her actually 2 one from months earlier slamming the illegal aliens and a recent one talking about how great they are. My whole problem with all of this is that they are here illegally, why aren't we out arresting them and sticking them on buses and taking them back across the boarder. They are out of control and if we allow them to stay we are just setting ourselves up for future problems. Riots because Gee if we throw a fit and protest then we get our way. What about all the ones over on the other side who are trying to follow our laws and filling out the paper work, is it fair to them. What are we teaching these people? I'll tell you, we are teaching them that it's OK to break our laws, it's OK to protest, well I don't agree, they need to be dealt with and taught that there is no tolerance to those who would break our laws and not follow our rules. I am all for allowing people into our great country, I love my country and I understand why they want to come here but it needs to be done the right way. If it isn't then it will set a president that we won't like and will not be able to live with in the long run. I want people who will follow our laws and respect them. So me that you will do the right thing then I'm all for you coming here.

You always have to read inbetween the lines when it comes to politics. The Government wants to blame illegal immigration on American citizens and not the Administration who are totally responsible for losing control over this issue. It is all a strategy for coming elections.

While I have some concerns about some of the actions initiated by the President Bush (such as some elements of the Patriot Act) but by and large he is a dedicated and sincere President.\n\nI say this though I have never supported him in an election, but I make a distinction between such reservations and the blatant, unsubstantiated assertions made about the President.  I have no doubt that there are those who want a different president, that is obvious with the virulent yelling of hatred which is so often seen here.  However, I suggest that those who sincerely want a change that there should get involved with political actions which will lead to such change.  To do that is an act of a mature person.  To continue to scream hatred is childish and ineffectual.

HERES You RACISM- I Hope You CHOKE On It\n\nA close, personal friendship with President George W. Bush has given Mexicos President Vicente Fox the opportunity to purposely allow (or even send) Millions of Criminals, Thugs, Anarchists, and Potential Terrorists to swarm over our southern border in breathtaking numbers. (Nearly half of all illegal aliens currently living in the U.S. came here since Bush became president in 2000.)  \n\n\n\nMexico's President Fox has been unrelenting in his brazen demands on the United States, starting with open borders even before he was elected. He has called for the border to be “a joining line.” His visits to the U.S. have been filled with endless requirements for Mexican citizens illegally in this country — free healthcare, taxpayer-subsidized in-state tuition for illegals at state colleges and universities, guestworker programs and amnesty for all. \n\n                                                             **************************\n\nMexican American Legal Defense Fund founder Mario Obledo stated, “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should leave. Every constitutional office in California is going to be held by Hispanics in the next 20 years.  People who don't like such demographic changes “should go back to Europe.” (Incidentally,  Senor  Obledo was also the California Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Gov. Jerry Brown.) \n\nMario Obledo, California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations and California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Governor Jerry Brown, also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton, "California is going to be a Hispanic state.  Anyone who doesn't like it should leave." \n\n\nObledo Is A Member Of "MEChA" And "LA RAZA"\n\n                                                 ********************\n\nThe newly "ELECTED"mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, joined the lawbreakers and proclaimed "this bill in Congress is wrong". Señor Villaraigosa said "The only thing illegal is making 11 million illegal aliens felons." Yeah, he Actually said that. People should make no mistake about it: Villaraigosa was "ELECTED" by ILLEGALs VOTING, and HIS Allegiance, along with the rest of these "ELECTED" public officials in California of Mexican ancestry is to Mexico, not California or these United States of America. Villaraigosa has spent a lifetime opposing U.S. immigration laws.\n\nVillaraigosa is A Member Of  "MEChA"  and  " LA RAZA"\n\n                                               *********************\n\nMEChA and the La Raza movement teach that Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington State make up an area known as "AZTLAN" -- a fictional ancestral homeland of the Aztecs before Europeans arrived in North America. As such, it belongs to the followers of MEChA. These are all areas America should surrender to "La Raza" once enough immigrants, legal or illegal, enter to claim a majority, as in Los Angeles. The current borders of the United States will  be extinguished.\n\n \n\n The Council of La Raza succeeded in having itself added to congressional hearings by Republican House and Senate leaders. And an anonymous senator even gave the Council of La Raza an extra $4 million in earmarked taxpayer money, supposedly for "housing reform," while La Raza continues to lobby the Senate for virtual open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens. \n\n\n\n               http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=13863\n\n                      \n\n"We have an aging white America ...

The reason President Bush has not been impeached is that he has not committed an impeachable offense. The liberals’ constant rant that he lied is in fact a lie. He acted on the same information that congress did when they authorized the war in Iraq. He did not lie under oath as Clinton did. In fact, his biggest fault is that he has been brutally honest and the liberals don’t agree with what he has to say. That doesn’t make it a lie. I wish the liberals would come up with a meaningful rant, but I don’t think they’re capable of it.

Actually Im mixed on the issue. Im more conservative on things, but he didnt really say anything too out there. On the other hand, if he was completely unbiased, hed have said things in favor of the current administation and it appears hes only throwing out anti bush, anti american sentiment. Id have to hear more of his lectures to know.

from what he has proposed so far he is not willing to deport anyone.  I think his party is really cracking down on him to take a stand on this. He is supposed to give a speech tonight about this issue, he might send troops to the border and that is a good start but we need a real solution to this problem i.e. a wall, satellite and more border patrol agents.

Bush was behind it.  He doesn't want to hurt his "image" as a humanitarian so he asked the republican'ts to kill it.  His family is mixed Cuban (Jeb's wife and Kids) and he realizes the irony if he nixes the Mexicans.  So he wants to leave it for the next administration.  The only good thing I can think of that he's done!!!

lol I think the slew of anti-bush criticisms that are about to ensue will prove he has not united the country. Osama Bin Ladin did more to unite us than George W. Bush.

I am a real liberal rather than the usual anti-conservative and I am completely against illegal immigration.\n\nPeople are coming across the border (not just from Mexico and Latin America, but from Asia and Eastern Europe; not just in sweat shops but in sex industry as well) illegally because they are being recruited by unscrupulous employers to circumvent the idea of free market economics. If the demand for workers is greater than the willingness of the indigenous labor supply to settle for the money offered then wages are supposed to go up. Instead, a black market worker is smuggled into the country, often at great physical peril, and then is kept at a job which would be illegal because the hours are too long and the environment is too unsafe by the threat of deportation or physical intimidation and the worker cannot seek redress because he must remain secretive. This is BAD for America.\n\nHowever, and I am sure you will not like this, I fear that if the War in Iraq were going better we would not be debating this issue right now. The economy has been in the tank for almost five years, and illegal immigration has been a non-issue until six months before a major election when the party in power is seen as being weak. Maybe that is a smoke screen, maybe it's just a coincidence.

He has actually moved to the right some, but all in all is still quite moderate, Bush being far right does cause conflict with him and he does disagree with him on certain points. I have allot more respect for McCain then most repuglicans that get in lock step with the far right and never mind what the average American people need.

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.

Absolutely not.  It is so out of step with what people in this country want (deportation of all illegals, an end to illegal immigration, a restrict reduction of legal immigration) that the senate bill representing Bush's plan is essentially dead in the water.

He is a jackass. Sure, he is better than the last few Mexican presidents but he is still as incompitent as.... well.... I guess he actually looks like a good leader in comparison to Dubya Bush. Bush Jr. is the king. \nAnyways, Mexico is so messed with drug cartels and  a bad economy and Fox is doing nada about it. THAT is why so many illegals are crossing the border. Can you blame them? NO.\nLook at some of the racists answers on here. If only we could send these conservatives to Mehico and call them illegals when they come running back.

I personally think Bush is trying to finish Daddy's job. the Job Daddy's couldn't do! I think if people are going to come to the US or other country's the need to do it right. There are some Illegals out there that are here to make an honest living and do better for them self and there family. I am parted on that one. I think let the ones who are here stay the ones who want to come over have them do it right. It is sad. all Bush did was fuck the US over! here Clinton just started to get us on tract after the first bush! and someone will have to come in and clean up this mess also! it was such a close race this last term! unfortunately I live in a red state! where gays have no rights and yet men own women when they are married. I live in Oklahoma it is so far behind in the times. anyway. If bush wast elected we would not have had any problems. I know allot of people who praised him at fist now the regrets voting him in. All he is doing is trying to prove him self to DADDY, he is a greedy son of a bitch! sorry for going on and on.
