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?

MR. PRESIDENT, I'M HEADED TO MEXICO (Humor? You decide!)\n\nSubject: MR. PRESIDENT, I'M HEADED TO MEXICO \nDear President Bush: \nI'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this. \nI plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, ports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. \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: \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 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 government services. \n9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws. \n10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave 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 lebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments 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. \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 favor if you ask him nicely. \nHowever, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your V.P. \nThank you so much for your kind help.

If they were armed and had the authority to arrest illegals and help the Border Patrol stop the flow of drugs coming in it would be a good thing,unfortuntely they are only there as a symbol,they are not allowed to arrest or stop anyone,it's just George W Bush trying to look tough on immigration and quiet the american people that want the border secured,this is the same man that wants to give citizenship to all the illegals but insists that it's not amnesty.Never before have I been so ashamed of a president like I am of this one.

Bush is trying to play the American people for fools.  He is not serious about stopping illegal immigration and never has been.  If you have doubts examine his proposal for a guest worker program.  This program is a way to ensure a permanent supply of cheap labor for the business elite, whom he represents.  Sending troops to the border won't solve the problem, and he knows it.  Again, just trying to play Americans for fools.  Proposing an ammendment to have English be the official language does NOTHING to solve the problem.  It's just Bush telling the American people, "Oh, you're upset because my corporate buddies are taking away your jobs and giving them to foreigners to increase their profits, here I'll throw you this bone, maybe you'll settle down, and we can all go back to screwing you in the butt."  And all the while, he has the audacity to propagate lies like " the illegals are doing jobs Americans don't want."  I think it's time for all Americans to wake up and see what our government is doing to us and whose interests they are really looking out for.

This reminds me of a Bobby Brown quote:\n\n"GEORGE BUSH IS A TERRORIST! (inaudible mumbling and noises follow)"\n\n\nTake it from the a great man like Bobby Brown and people with his mindset to know well.....anything.

Um, I don't think the timing is relevant, except that some politicians are looking ahead to the November elections, which is pretty much what politicians always do.\n\nBush ran on immigration reform and a guest worker program as part of his election platform: look it up.\n\nThe House passed the Bill saying the border should be secured and illegal immigrants should be made felons in December.  Thereafter there were a bunch of polls that said all majorities were against illegal immigration, but the majority would accept a stronger border with a guest worker program. The Senate put together its Bill outline.  Then came the marches.  THEN this became a hot topic.\n\nThis issue may be one reason Bush's support declined, but it didn't come up as a result of that decline.  I think Bush wants this as part of his legacy, and always has wanted this.

Here it is:\n\n Good evening. I have asked for a few minutes of your time to discuss a matter of national importance: the reform of America's immigration system.\n\nThe issue of immigration stirs intense emotions and in recent weeks, Americans have seen those emotions on display. On the streets of major cities, crowds have rallied in support of those in our country illegally. At our southern border, others have organized to stop illegal immigrants from coming in. Across the country, Americans are trying to reconcile these contrasting images.\n\nAnd in Washington, the debate over immigration reform has reached a time of decision. Tonight, I will make it clear where I stand, and where I want to lead our country on this vital issue.\n\nWe must begin by recognizing the problems with our immigration system. For decades, the United States has not been in complete control of its borders. As a result, many who want to work in our economy have been able to sneak across our border and millions have stayed.\n\nOnce here, illegal immigrants live in the shadows of our society. Many use forged documents to get jobs, and that makes it difficult for employers to verify that the workers they hire are legal. Illegal immigration puts pressure on public schools and hospitals, strains state and local budgets, and brings crime to our communities. These are real problems, yet we must remember that the vast majority of illegal immigrants are decent people who work hard, support their families, practice their faith, and lead responsible lives. They are a part of American life but they are beyond the reach and protection of American law.\n\nWe are a nation of laws, and we must enforce our laws. We are also a nation of immigrants, and we must uphold that tradition, which has strengthened our country in so many ways. These are not contradictory goals. America can be a lawful society and a welcoming society at the same time. We will fix the problems created by illegal immigration, and we will deliver a system that is secure, orderly and fair. So I support comprehensive immigration reform that will accomplish five clear objectives.\n\nFirst, the United States must secure its borders. This is a basic responsibility of a sovereign nation. It is also an urgent requirement of our national security. Our objective is straightforward: The border should be open to trade and lawful immigration and shut to illegal immigrants, as well as criminals, drug dealers and terrorists.\n\nI was the governor of a state that has a 1,200-mile border with Mexico. So I know how difficult it is to enforce the border, and how important it is. Since I became president, we have increased funding for border security by 66 percent, and expanded the Border Patrol from about 9,000 to 12,000 agents. The men and women of our Border Patrol are doing a fine job in difficult circumstances, and over the past five years, we have apprehended and sent home about 6 million people entering America illegally.\n\nDespite this progress, we do not yet have full control of the border, and I am determined to change that. Tonight I am calling on Congress to provide funding for dramatic improvements in manpower and technology at the border. By the end of 2008, we will increase the number of Border Patrol officers by an additional 6,000. When these new agents are deployed, we will have more than doubled the size of the Border Patrol during my presidency.\n\nAt the same time, we are launching the most technologically advanced border security initiative in American history. We will construct high-tech fences in urban corridors, and build new patrol roads and barriers in rural areas. We will employ motion sensors infrared cameras and unmanned aerial vehicles to prevent illegal crossings. America has the best technology in the world and we will ensure that the Border Patrol has the technology they need to do their job and secure our border.\n\nTraining thousands of new Border Patrol agents and bringing the m

Because George W. Bush is an ignorant and racist redneck!  What he SHOULD do is worry about which Middle Easterners who are trying to immigrate into this country are possible terrorists and which ones are not!  I know I will be one happy African American when he gets out of office on January 19, 2009!!!!!

no, did you listen to his speech last night?  He wants to try to stop ILLEGAL immigrants, while opening LEGAL immigration chances.  He just wants to stop the illegals, while allowing people to come here legally.\n\nas he said, we are a country of immigrants and it will stay that way.

Good question thank you for not ranting.  I do not like Bush's spending it is out of control and I am not a fan of his immigration plan.  To be honest with the exception of his tax cuts he is probably the most liberal president since Jimmy Carter.  I also wish he was a better public speaker.\n\nThat said I am 100% behind him on the war on terror and the Iraq war

Not sure why he would. In the big picture I would say it would be more apropriate for George Bush to go. He is the one making politcal hay out of this stupid thing.  \n\nPlease go to the link below. It ain't just Democrats. \nThe fact is there are several Republican saying they know what Kerry was trying to say was a joke about Bush being dumb. Here is a link to the transcripts from the Chris Mathews show. \n\nhttp://mediamatters.org/items/2006110100...\n\nRead the Dick Armey quotes. No friend of the Democrats. Very revealing. \n\nThe best quote I read about the whole thing was in another article. "Is the White House too stupid to know he was making a joke about them being stupid"\n\nWho really cares what John Kerry says anyway. Does that have anything to do with anyone you're voting for? The Republicans want to get everyone fired up over this to take away from the issues. It's pretty sleazy politics and both sides do it
