What Part Of Illegal Doesn't George W Bush And The Senate Understand?
600401
Our Senators said F.U. the American people.  I so agree with Godzilla.  Also think about this, how many more illegal women are thinking of getting knocked up while here as a guest worker.  They are supposed to go home after two years,  how are we going to make them go home if they have a bunch of American kids? We need to revoke that privilege if we are to curtail further illegal immigration. If an illegal alien has a child here, that child should be the nationality of the mother's home country.   They may start to think twice about coming here if we do that in conjunction with tighter security at the border, and making it a felony for an employer to knowingly hire illegals. We can't just have more border patrol agents because guess what, the word has already gone to Mexico and even more are going to come storm our border to nullify to new additions to the B.P.  What do we do now?

The way things are now, Bush is going to allow most of the illegals to become legal.  The vast majority of illegals are Mexican, so 4Kit may have a valid point there. By sheer numbers alone, Bush is being more lenient to the Mexican population than he is to others by allowing the illegals to pursue citizenship in the US.

Currently, illegal entry into the United States is a misdemeanor. Has been forever. The current House Bill, just passed, wants to make it a felony. The Senate Bill, also just passed, wants to keep it a misdemeanor. The two Bills will go to a Conference committee to be compromised. The Senate will probably get its way like it always does.

bush is not going to pass any amnesty law. the only thing that was said about it, is they are talking about guest workers visa. and no we do not need or have to learn Spanish. this is America, they need to learn English.

The two immigration bills that have been passed by the House and the Senate are still not law. The House and Senate bills have to be reconciled in committee. Both versions are worlds apart with the House version being much harsher and offering no relief for people currently in the U.S. illegally. As to what version is going to survive after comittee or if any law will be passed your guess is as good as mine.

George Bush authorized the NSA to conduct illegal wiretaps on American citizens. Bush claimed that these were justified on the basis of national security. But there is a legal mechanism for conducting emergency wiretaps followed by court approval within 72 hours. Bush ignored that mechanism and exceeded his executive authority. Bush claims he has authority to wiretap anyone he wishes but legal scholars, including some Republican lawmakers, disagree. This is against our rights!! And Bush continues to break the law because he thinks he is above any law here !!

There are absolutely no reasons for it to stay illegal. It's an enormous cheek that it is illegal, it's a bit like saying "God made a mistake!" (thanks to Bill Hicks deceased for that) and that seems a tad presumptuous to me.

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.

wow - that's an overgeneralized statement, don't ya think?\n\nHate is a very strong word...\n\nI believe it's the ILLEGAL part of immigration that most people have a problem with - not the immigration itself.\n\nLast time I checked the US was a FREE, Democratic society - you can't just throw someone out - unless they are here ILLEGALLY that is... \n\nThank God for that!

Dude, calm down.\nFirst of all, the Constitution and its amendments are not laws.  If something contradicts the constitution it is deemed unconstitutional.  Not illegal.\nSecond.  Bush can't write a bill let alone pass a bill.  Did you ever hear that School House Rock song "I'm Only A Bill". . .Only Congress can pass law and write bills.  The president can either sign it, veto it, or ignore it.  Learn some civics.  What you are referring to is Executive Order 13198 (and a handful of others subsequent to this one) executed on January 29, 2001.  And before you go jumping off a bridge, read them carefully.  They don't say what you apparently think.\nThird.  You are incorrect about your interpretation of the Supreme Court rulings regarding whatever specific faith based initiative you are stuck on.  If the Supreme Court has ruled and it exists, you must be wrong.  QED.\nFourth.  Saying that you don't mind as long as ALL religions are represented is a very cute way of avoiding saying what's really in your heart.  If we represent ALL then we really are representing NONE.\nLast.  There are numerous things that are better done by religious and other community organizations (as opposed to the government).  For example, the Catholic Church does a wonderful job providing adoption services for disabled orphans.  A better job than the government.  The church avoids some of the thornier issues regarding church/state by separating its adoption services from its core purpose (to grossly paraphrase, a requirement for receiving federal money).\nBut really dude, calm down.

Bush challenges hundreds of laws\nPresident cites powers of his office\nBy Charlie Savage, Globe Staff  |  April 30, 2006\nWASHINGTON -- President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution.\nAmong the laws Bush said he can ignore are military rules and regulations, affirmative-action provisions, requirements that Congress be told about immigration services problems, ''whistle-blower" protections for nuclear regulatory officials, and safeguards against political interference in federally funded research.\nLegal scholars say the scope and aggression of Bush's assertions that he can bypass laws represent a concerted effort to expand his power at the expense of Congress, upsetting the balance between the branches of government. The Constitution is clear in assigning to Congress the power to write the laws and to the president a duty ''to take care that the laws be faithfully executed." Bush, however, has repeatedly declared that he does not need to ''execute" a law he believes is unconstitutional.\nFormer administration officials contend that just because Bush reserves the right to disobey a law does not mean he is not enforcing it: In many cases, he is simply asserting his belief that a certain requirement encroaches on presidential power.\nBut with the disclosure of Bush's domestic spying program, in which he ignored a law requiring warrants to tap the phones of Americans, many legal specialists say Bush is hardly reluctant to bypass laws he believes he has the constitutional authority to override.\n   \n\nFar more than any predecessor, Bush has been aggressive about declaring his right to ignore vast swaths of laws -- many of which he says infringe on power he believes the Constitution assigns to him alone as the head of the executive branch or the commander in chief of the military.\nMany legal scholars say they believe that Bush's theory about his own powers goes too far and that he is seizing for himself some of the law-making role of Congress and the Constitution-interpreting role of the courts.\nPhillip Cooper, a Portland State University law professor who has studied the executive power claims Bush made during his first term, said Bush and his legal team have spent the past five years quietly working to concentrate ever more governmental power into the White House.\n''There is no question that this administration has been involved in a very carefully thought-out, systematic process of expanding presidential power at the expense of the other branches of government," Cooper said. ''This is really big, very expansive, and very significant."\nFor the first five years of Bush's presidency, his legal claims attracted little attention in Congress or the media. Then, twice in recent months, Bush drew scrutiny after challenging new laws: a torture ban and a requirement that he give detailed reports to Congress about how he is using the Patriot Act.\nPage 2 of 7 -- \nBush administration spokesmen declined to make White House or Justice Department attorneys available to discuss any of Bush's challenges to the laws he has signed.\nInstead, they referred a Globe reporter to their response to questions about Bush's position that he could ignore provisions of the Patriot Act. They said at the time that Bush was following a practice that has ''been used for several administrations" and that ''the president will faithfully execute the law in a manner that is consistent with the Constitution."\nBut the words ''in a manner that is consistent with the Constitution" are the catch, legal scholars say, because Bush is according himself the ultimate interpretation of the Constitution. And he is quietly exercising that authority

I thought it wasn't possible but George Bush Jr. is a bigger idiot and a@@h*ole than his father. The immigration issue is just another distraction for the public and the dumb ignorant fools who still support him.

President Bush main objective is to cater to the speacial interest groups. It seems all Americas object to amnesty think about it saying to pay back taxes, fines,etc,etc will only increase fraud illgeals can make documents showing they been here 40 years and still have the same job. Bush and congress want any plan on their terms even if it's objected by the American people. Bush is only selling his plan without taking into account what the American people want
