Bush's Illegal Immigrant Insanity

An article in The Washington Times online discusses the fact that the Bush Administration is doing next to nothing to close our border and stop illegals. In my opinion, his guest worker program proposes to make the problem even worse.

"Guest Workers" are just a euphamism for a proposed new permanent 'underclass' of American workers. They will be legal workers, but not citizens, and the legal issues that will surround them will be like a Smokey Mountain fog. Corporations will jump in en-masse and hire these cheap, disposable workers and American citizens will find it even harder to earn a decent wage. If you think these 'scab Americans' will be limited to agricultural and laborer jobs, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you. Terrorists and criminals will be provided yet another means of infiltration and cover to attack Americans in their own homes and streets.

I cannot express how much I disagree with this entire notion. We don't need to make the illegals legal, we need to make the illegals deportees! HELLO!!! They are, after all, CRIMINALS.

I have backed Bush, his re-election, and his programs over the last 4 years, but this one I absolutely cannot accept. Prescription drugs, okay - maybe for now. No Child Left Behind, not bad - as long as it is enforced and funded - pretty good. But I refuse to back this idea, it's got bad news written all over it and I don't understand how Bush could be persuaded otherwise. I couldn't be, and I don't even live in a border state.

"Say George, just kill terrorists, fix the tax code, and pass tort reform. That's MORE than enough to test you and the congress to the limit of your abilities. Tell Ridge, Hutchinson, and DHS to GET OFF THEIR ASSES and close our borders - Americans will hold YOU responsible George, should another terrorist act occur because the scum walked across our wide-open southern and northern borders. Your Border Security agents WILL close the borders down, just mandate, support and fund them, and quit listening to the greedy special interests of your friends. I'm not kidding - if you can't sense the wrongness of the Guest Worker idea and the danger of lax border security, you are not the President my fellow citizens deserve."

Adios MF,
