do you think G W will put his foot down on the immigration issue or just back off?

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.

I'd go for the corporations and businesses, they are the next in this pyramid of breaking the law, the last would be the illegals who have been getting away with coming here, getting jobs and staying without any contemplation whatsoever. The top of this pyramid is the government that doesn't enforce Immigration laws. Lately, we have many "real problems" that our President is just not equipped to solve, they just seem to get worse.

He would have to resign.  The Republicans could then put in their next candidate for President and give them a headstart.  But Gunner Dick won't do it - he's too bullheaded.

Bush should just ignore Fox. Mexico has tougher immigration laws than the US, but they call us Draconian if we want to reciprocate. Fox is a hypocrite. Like  someone else said, it is OUR SIDE OF THE BORDER, and OUR TROOPS. Emigration also frees Mexico from actually having to FIX THEIR PROBLEMS.

I Thought GWB Said\n\n"We Dont Negotiate With Terrorists"\n\nMillions Of People Closing Down Cities Under The Flag Of A Foreign Nation.....\nSounds Like Terrorists To Me\n\nMaybe Theyll Revert Back To The Mob Mentality Like A Few Weeks Ago, \nAnd Well Get To See A Squadron Of Apache Attack Choppers Mow Em Down.....\n\nI Hope Not... For Their Sake I Hope They Dont Start No 5hit

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.

I think that it's an unnecessary strain on race relations.  I believe they would have been more successful at getting reform by doing this quietly.  The president, who is a conservative, had just pushed a bill to allow illegals to become eligible to apply for citizenship.  So, if a conservative is for it, it will probably pass since most of his party will follow him and the liberal would vote in favor of it.\n\nBut then it got ugly and there were marches demanding AMNESTY (instantly legal), not just the ability to apply for citizenship, and the race issue came up.  They accused whites of being racists, and a BIG backlash is brewing among american citizens.\n\nI've been raised around the hispanic culture and they're fine people.  I work with them daily, and my company has a center in MX City.  Actually, race has never been an issue around here, for the most part.  But this whole May 1st walkout is brewing some serious anger among Americans because they are demanding when they, quite honestly, should be humbly asking.  I've never seen anything like it.  I'm not racist, and even I'm getting dragged into the melee because I refuse to allow an illegal any latitude for their illegal entry.  And instantly people call me a racist or an "arrogant American."\n\nWe gave an amnesty in the 80's and everybody was ok with it.  The idea was that we're going to clear up the illegal issue and keep the new illegals out.  Well, now we have an illegal population of about 10 million...so amnesty is a big POS.  Enforcement is the answer.

What you describe is not the way a person should act.  This type of thing is not unusual.  I see much worse in this part of the world.  If so then no he should not be allowed to stay.  I do agree with GW Bush when he said immigrants should take the values of the nation they are going to.  If I acted that way here I most likely would not live very long.  I mean that.

Congress will reassemble for a lame duck session, but nothing on immigration will happen.\n\nThere is no one bill, and no broad consensus among the many bills. Republicans and Democrats both would like the issue to go away.\n\nWhat's happening is that the states are imposing rules regarding illegals, and the Feds are being pushed into the position of objecting to the enforcement of existing Federal law. It's an issue that is turning into a metastatic cancer on Republican politicans.

Yes, but even that won't work.  Demand for their services is too great.  I suspect the government will be as effective stopping illegal immigration as they are stopping drug smuggling.

Heavens No!!!He is a Liar, War Monger and no friend to the american People. With this latest Immigratiopn Debockle how could you, this is going to cost tax payers in the billions and the tax payers are going to have to pay for it I mean the Middle Class. He has sold out to Big Business once again. He wants to keep the cheap labor going for the big companies his cronies. He has made a mockery of the position and the country, first with Iraq and now with this America wake up how long are we going to keep taking this Sh-t. Furious

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.

Sensenbrenner (House Bill Sponsor) says the provisions about an illegal being a felon were put in at the request of the White House.  Press reports from last December have Bush saying good things about the House Bill. Somewhere he decided he could get his slave labor program put in, and now he wants that.\n\nHe sent a delegate to meet twice with the House and Sensenbrenner didn't even bother to go.  Others from the House just kept saying "The President isn't where the people are," according to press reports.\n\nThe one faction that wins from excessive immigration to the point where education and other services are ruined is big business.  That appears now to be what matters most to him.

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.

I think I like this kind of talk\nBottom line: The issue may come down to what one veteran pollster called "sequencing" -- where voters want the government to demonstrate that it's serious about reducing illegal immigration before legalizing 12 million people. That would mean first controlling the border and creating a tamper-proof citizenship card so that employers who hire illegal workers can be prosecuted then assembling a legalization plan.  \n\nI could definitely live with this.Thanks for the great information\nIn the words of that great sage Yogi Berra(not sure of the spelling)\n"It ain't over till its over"
