I agree but people are getting fed up and perhaps it would be a wakeup call to Bush to hear rumors of impeachment from his own party.

We passed Prop. 187 in California 13 years ago to cut off public assistance to illeagal aliens. That was the overwhelming will of the people here…It was thrown out 4 years later in Federal court as “unconstitutional”. As a white male in California I am now the statistical minority. We are currently graduating the stupidest high school students in the world. Our state legislators (democrat) have lowered the high school exit exams to a 51% passing grade and they still can’t graduate. People who want higher standards on testing are called racist here. Those of us who can afford it have put our kids in private schools (while still paying taxes to educate Mexico’s children unsuccessfully). You can not go anywhere in this state without seeing spray paint on something or near a Home Depot that doesn’t have 200 illegals loitering on a nearby corner. There are Mexicans lined up around the block at social security and welfare offices here every day of the week and 40% of my income goes in taxes.

What’s the new label I have now? Oh yea “nativist”. It’s hard to keep track…I have so many.

The American people aren’t dumb and they know a scam when they see it. In the latest Rasmussen poll, just 16% of those asked thought that the Senate’s Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill would reduce illegal immigration. Why do they think……

How about not prosecuting criminals (illegal aliens)to the extent of the laws.

And just how is it Bush’s fault that St. Louis, San Fran, Norfolk, Va and many other cities took it upon themselves to be sanctuary cities and not enforce immigration law.

Cite me one source where Bush has implicitly ordered that immigration law is not to be enforced. The President cannot send national guard troops to a city without declaring a state of emergency. He also cannot order the superintendent of State Police in a state, or your local constable to arrest anyone.

Enforcement of the law is the responsibility of the judicial branch of government, not the executive branch.

I am not a Bush apologist, I just get tired of the “impeach” mantra when someone does not agree with policy.

And now he tries to destroy our national security with this farce of an “immigration reform”.

I know he stopped drinking.

Maybe he needs a glass of something.

Zam Zam water, perhaps.

I challenge anyone here to name one crime Bush has committed that merits impeachment. Just one.

How about not prosecuting criminals (illegal aliens)to the extent of the laws. Thus he is not protecting the constitution of the USA, something he has sworn to a judge to do. Lying to a judge is against the law, ask Clenis.

There is an anti-amnesty march planned . . .

Event times: 10am – 2pm

June 16th (U.S.A)- No Amnesty, “March for America”. Americans nationwide
march forth in unison to offer their direct opposition to Amnesty.Nationwide Times:

* East Coast 1pm – 6pm EST

“It is the sense of Congress that the United States and Mexico should accelerate the implementation of the Partnership for Prosperity to help generate economic growth and improve the standard of living in Mexico, which will lead to reduced migration,” the draft legislation states on page 211

My comment stands. Where is the crime by Bush? It’s in a bill. Congress must vote on it.

BacaDog, you are in denial. Either you are naive or you a koolaid drinking bushbot. 81% of the American people know that the Senate is trying sellout America but you refuse to acknowledge that GWB has been leading the charge.

Not in denial at all Scotty. I dislike and disagree with many of GWB’s positions of late, particularly the idiotic immigration bill he’s pushing. Along with about 80% of the population, I hate the damn thing, and cannot stomach the idea of it’s passage.

There are numerous examples of Bush ordering enforcement of the borders to stand down.

Cite one. Show me one example where Bush has said we will not enforce our borders.

Honestly, do you think these 11 million or 20 million (pick a source) illegal immigrants appeared overnight? Our immigration problems began with that lousy bill passed by Congress and signed by Reagan in 1986. Reagan and our Congress opened the door, Clinton held it open, and Bush is just the latest doorstop.

Who do think has enough power to stop the fence being built even though it has been signed into law?

Congress. The money isn’t there as it was never funded. If you want the damn fence built, call your Congressman.

ScottyDog, I am against the proposed immigration legislation with every fiber of my being. Bush and our Congress are wrong on this and a large majority of American’s say they are.

My original comment was regarding impeachment, not whether I like or dislike GWB’s policies. As a Republican, I don’t.

The point I was trying to toss out for discussion is whether Bush has committed a “crime” worthy of impeachment.

I still say there is no evidence he has committed a crime that rises to that level. He may be making idiotic policy decisions, but that has never qualified a President for impeachment. If there is a crime, let the proceeding begin. If not, then let’s not act like hysterical DU or KO nutroots by screeching rhetoric with no facts. That’s all.

With all of the above, however, if there were a recall provision in the Constitution, I’d be right there with you.

Oopsie, it seems that three out of four people aren’t buying the Senate Illegal Immigration bullshit Bill. (H/t to Hot Air.) So President Bush recently attacked opponents of the bill:“If you want to scare the American people, what you say…

How many more crimes would he have to commit before you would hold him accountable?

BTW-S1348 has a provision for the North American Union on page 211

BacaDog, you are in denial. Either you are naive or you a koolaid drinking bushbot. 81% of the American people know that the Senate is trying sellout America but you refuse to acknowledge that GWB has been leading the charge.

There are numerous examples of Bush ordering enforcement of the borders to stand down. The most recent is the fact that only 2 miles of border fence has been built even though 1 billion has been set aside for fence.

Who do think has enough power to stop the fence being built even though it has been signed into law?

I challenge anyone here to name one crime Bush has committed that merits impeachment. Just one.

Michelle answered that perfectly on today’s blog:

President Bush, meet the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Pres

ident Bush, meet Article IV, Section IV of the U.S. Constitution:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

President Bush, meet your oath of office in accordance with Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

He really ought to think through what he’s doing.

This is exactly what’s currently wrong with how most Americans view Bush’s actions. It seems most believe he just hasn’t “thought it through” or that he simply “believes it’s the right thing to do.”

Bush has been thinking this through for years. So has his father. So have most of those Senators who support the bill. They know exactly what they’re doing, and they know it has absolutely nothing to do with “doing what’s right” or gaining the Hispanic vote.

But, the truth will send many HotAir readers into a frenzy of name calling. Don’t dare accuse Bush of making deals with the Mexican government, or of any desires for an NAU. That’s all conspiracy nonsense. Of course, ask any of those same readers to give their own reasonable explanation for it all and they just scratch their heads and say “it makes no sense.”

“Think it through?” Does anyone really believe Bush is just rushing this through without any thought? And O.J. is innocent.

Is there -anything- the government is currently doing correctly?

Is there EVER anything the government does right???

I challenge anyone here to name one crime Bush has committed that merits impeachment. Just one.

BacaDog on May 30, 2007 at 12:58 PM

How about the crime of STUPIDITY????

And as for annexing Me-he-co, yeah, great idea. Texas is already educating half of mexico for free, on my dime, so we might as well make it legit. heh.

ScottyDog on May 30, 2007 at 1:55 PM

Nice rhetoric, Scotty, but not one of your examples is accurate. Cite any source proving Bush ordered anyone, anywhere, at any time to not enforce immigration law.

Granted, Bush promotes the expansion of NAFTA, and has met with Canadian and Mexican senior officials to advance policy common to our countries, but there is no North American Union. It doesn’t exist.

2) Any action is a crime worthy of impeachment if a majority in the House of Representatives says it is. There is no other standard.

Annoying Old Guy on May 30, 2007 at 1:56 PM

You’re right Old Guy. Due to the lack of a clear definition as to the meaning of “high” in “high crimes” Congress can basically determine what constitutes a “high crime”.

I would hope that common sense and a grave responsibility for the good of the country would prevent the House from inventing a crime and indicting the President. It’s a big freakin deal, and I don’t think the American people would take lightly the irresponsible use of impeachment to deliver a political blow.

Look, I hate the bill as much as anyone and I do not support Bush on this one. He’s wrong, but it’s a far cry from an impeachable offense.

Those 29% aren’t the same 28 or 29% who still support the president on the war. He’s trading his actual base for a fair-weather base that will desert him this fall, when Iraq funding is up for a vote again. By then, he’ll have spent weeks or months smearing his actual base as a bunch of bigoted boobs. He really ought to think through what he’s doing.

Worst. Political. Instincts. Ever.

As I wrote late last night, John Hawkins polled about 50 conservative bloggers and found that zero believed “that the bill in the Senate would, if passed, secure the border and stop the influx of significant numbers of illegal aliens……

You know, we’ve been thinking the solution to this whole problem is to build a security wall. How about we just annex Mexico instead and make it part of Texas?

1) Why should President Bush care about his approval rating? No one is ever going to vote for him again regardless of that rating.

2) Any action is a crime worthy of impeachment if a majority in the House of Representatives says it is. There is no other standard.

3) Romeo13 has the correct take. Bush believes our southern border is morally wrong. It’s not about trading the base, or getting votes, or avoiding impeachment.

Failure to stop the invasion of the USA by a foreign country, Mexico-Felony and violation of his oath of office.

Aiding and Abetting Illegal Immigration-Felony

Creating the North American Union without a legal vote in Congress-Treason

I could list his high crimes and misdemeanors all day long with regards to immigration.

Lancer on May 30, 2007 at 1:00 PM

The anti-war movement can go on all day repeating the “Bush lied” mantra, but it is not a crime to act on inaccurate intellegence.

It’s pure idiocy to think the House or Senate will bring an impeachment action against Bush. Based on what?

Besides, how can they continuously paint him as a chimp-moron while admitting he’s a mastermind of deceit?
