Idea for bumper-sticker: “Enforce Simpson-Mazzoli – It’s the Law.” (Of course, I mean the border-tigntening and business sanctions provided therein.) We don’t need new legislation.

Who ever demanded we somehow magically round up 12 million people? Of course that’s unrealistic. But if we build a fence, stopping the illegal sunami, then begin sending back the ones we find with normal enforcement (not present catch and release) I think most people would be satisfied over time. This whole “too many to round up” excuse is just a political ruse.

In addition, there’s the human element. The Grand Canyon was incrementally worn down by rushing river water. Conservatives in government are the same way. Slowly they lose their spines…..

Like when Bush appologized for Katrina I yelled “WHAT??!!”

Like when Bush “admitted mistakes in Iraq”..”WHAT??!!”

Look at Ahnold, as well. “Mankind causes global warming.” “WHAT??!!”

Girlymen? Hardly. Human? Yes.

Like el Rushbo often says, “It’s the easiest thing in the world to be a liberal….” You know the rest.

Some souls are willingly sold..others slowly stolen..incrementally, slowly, yet surely.

I have a fear that many politicians will defer to sound principles in order to maintain their power.

Why not refuse to enforce other laws, such as robbery – “well don’t worry Johnny, stealing is illegal, but if you DO go out and steal from others, but we aren’t really gonna come getcha”

*sigh*

I am a Border Patrol Agent and would like to see all 12-20 million illegal aliens deported. But let’s face reality. It is virtually impossible and if it is it would take years and years to deport them all.

If Bush just quit talking about the guest worker – nonamnesty amnesty and concentrate on “closing” the border people would forget about the illegal aliens and his poll numbers would go back up. Forget about the ones here, close the border and don’t let any more in.

If the ones here live as “model citizens” fine. Once arrested and determined to be an illegal alien then they’re OUTTA HERE.

As far as illegal immigrants voting, the fact that they are illegal will not stop Democrats from registering them to vote. Why else would Democrats oppose the voter id laws?

This immigration issue must be addressed or we will be like Rome in its final days…

Just because illegals don’t have the legal right to vote doesn’t mean that the Democrats won’t register them and let them do so. What sort of checks did they do on you when you registered to vote? Driver’s License? Illegals have them.

Can anyone tell me what part of politics 101 instructs someone to repeatedly piss off your base (Harriet Miers, Dubai Ports, immigration) while trying desperately to appease your political enemies? It’s as if W. read Machiavelli’s ‘The Prince’ and then decided to do everything the exact opposite.

Maybe liberals who said he was dumb were right after all. At best, he’s extremely obtuse at this point.

Control the borders and then consider what to do about the illegals!

Why though does the president ignore national security concerns? Is it the same reason he’s unwilling to call our enemy by its name – radical Islam – and the same reason he refuses to go against the PC ban on profiling?

Why hasn’t he been more outspoken on abortion – where is the Reagan-style speech that calls IT what it is? Why does Bush use the same language Hillary Clinton uses – “reduce the number of abortions.”

I think conservatives are going to have to live with the fact that Bush is not the leader we’d hoped he’d be. With some exception he follows polls, and his instincts are foremost those of a politician, not a leader.
