Well, if I had to explain it I'd say it was ED.  Not that I'm a RUSHIE or really anxious to dwell on his... well, problem.  Although I don't think its a surprise to anyone, regardless of the political point of view that they espouse that he'd have trouble "south of the border."  Kind of ironic actually.

Bush has given Mexicos President Vicente Fox the opportunity to purposely allow (or even send) Millions of Criminals, Thugs, Anarchists, and Potential Terrorists to swarm over our southern border in breathtaking numbers. \n(Nearly half of all Illegal Aliens currently living in the U.S. came here since Bush became president in 2000.) \n\n\nShort Answer - With Troops On The Border, Foxes Whole Plan Gets Shot To Hell\n\nHes Been Working Very Hard For 6 Years, \nSending His Poverty To Us, \nSo He Wouldnt Have To Develop His Nation\n\nHe WILL Be Very Vocal About This\nAs He Has Been In The Past \nRegarding U.S.Immigration Policies\n\nFolks.........(For The Past 25 Years Or So) The U.S. is being Invaded by People from Another Nation - Ever Since REAGAN Granted Amnesty To 2.7 Million In 1986, They HAVE NOT STOPPED COMING!!! .\n\nOn January 9, 2004, President Bush proposed a guest worker program - a thinly veiled amnesty for illegal aliens. \nA February 29, 2004, Fox News article subsequently stated that from 50 percent to 90 percent of illegal aliens apprehended claimed they were coming here for the "amnesty" (their words). One Border Patrol officer stated that "They believe that they are only responding to an invitation." \n\nEl Presidente Vicente Fox's administration has embraced this reality. In fact, increasing the number of Mexicans working illegally in the United States is among Mexico's highest foreign policy objectives. \n\nThus, in orchestrating this war on America, the Mexican state is representing the desires of the Mexican people as a whole. \n\nWhat are these desires? \n\n(1) Political revanchism—to regain control of the territories Mexico lost to the U.S. in 1848, thus avenging themselves for the humiliations they feel they have suffered at our hands for the last century and a half; \n\n(2) Cultural imperialism—to expand the Mexican culture and the Spanish language into North America; and especially \n\n(3) Economic parasitism—to maintain and increase the flow of billions of dollars that Mexicans in the U.S. send back to their relatives at home every year, \n(39 BILLION US DOLLARS) \nA major factor keeping the chronically troubled Mexican economy afloat and the corrupt Mexican political system cocooned in its status quo. \n\nThese motives are shared by the Mexican masses and the elites. \n\nAccording to a Zogby poll in 2002, 58 percent of the Mexican people believe the U.S. Southwest belongs to Mexico, and 57 percent believe that Mexicans HAVE THE RIGHT TO FREELY ENTER the United States without U.S. permission. Only small minorities disagreed with these propositions.

no, they would just sneak over the border and do lawn maintainence for the liberal elite.\n\nLOL\n\n\nAccording to the Wacko Weekly World News, they have already been here and have advised the past several presidents

yes he should come clean but he wont, cause he is a coward. he is constantly changing what he says, he says what he thinks other people want to hear not what he really thinks. like for example he was for the war, then he wasn't. i call him scary kerry or the flip flopper.

United Statates most definetly does not have an "open door" policy with regards to immigration. It does not have an active immigration program like Canada does.\n\nPersonally, as much as I don't like Bush, his guest worker program proposal makes sense, this would stop illegal immigration by a large extent.\n\nAlso I belive that the US should concentrate more on selecting educated people to come to the US, right now these people represent a small minority from the immigration programs available.

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.

My current belief is that the president is not smart enough to realize what he's doing.\n\nOh how I'd absolutely LOVE to send his ass overseas

A serious commitment to border security \nwould require fencing off the entire southern border—\nall 1,891 miles of it. \n(For comparison, \nwe have 40,000 miles of Maintained US Interstate Highways.)\n\nAt $1.7 million per mile \n(the cost of the first 10 mile stretch in San Diego), \nthe entire U.S.-Mexican border \nall 1,891 miles of it\ncould be sealed off for $3.3 billion dollars.\n\nIraq spending equivalent: 13.8 days.\n\nCost/benefit analysis, anyone? \n\n\n\n\nI Think We Should BUILD The Wall\nTHEN Decide After 5 Years If It Is Working Or Not

Posted by The Watchdog - April 6th, 2006 \nDavid M. Bresnahan\nApril 1, 2006\nNewsWithViews.com \n\nDear President Bush: \n\nI’m about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like\n to ask you to assist me. I’m going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico,\n and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this. \n\nI plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.\n I’m sure they handle those things the same way you do here. \n\nSo, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I’m on my way over?\n Please let him know that I will be expecting the following: \n\n1. Free medical care for my entire family.\n2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need,\n       whether I use them or not.\n3. All government forms need to be printed in English.\n4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.\n5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.\n6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their\n       school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.\n7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.\n8. I will need a local Mexican driver’s license so I can get easy access to government\n      services.\n9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won’t make any effort to learn local\n      traffic laws.\n10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to\n      leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.\n11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a\n     gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments\n     from the locals.\n12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don’t enforce any\n      labor laws or tax laws.\n13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical\n      word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy. \n\nI know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people\n who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won’t mind returning the\n favor if you ask him nicely. \n\nThank you so much for your kind help. \n\nSincerely, \n\nDavid M. Bresnahan\n\nPosted in Border crossing, Pro-Illegal Groups, Mexico

HERES You RACISM- I Hope You CHOKE On It\n\nA close, personal friendship with President George W. Bush has given Mexicos President Vicente Fox the opportunity to purposely allow (or even send) Millions of Criminals, Thugs, Anarchists, and Potential Terrorists to swarm over our southern border in breathtaking numbers. (Nearly half of all illegal aliens currently living in the U.S. came here since Bush became president in 2000.)  \n\n\n\nMexico's President Fox has been unrelenting in his brazen demands on the United States, starting with open borders even before he was elected. He has called for the border to be “a joining line.” His visits to the U.S. have been filled with endless requirements for Mexican citizens illegally in this country — free healthcare, taxpayer-subsidized in-state tuition for illegals at state colleges and universities, guestworker programs and amnesty for all. \n\n                                                             **************************\n\nMexican American Legal Defense Fund founder Mario Obledo stated, “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should leave. Every constitutional office in California is going to be held by Hispanics in the next 20 years.  People who don't like such demographic changes “should go back to Europe.” (Incidentally,  Senor  Obledo was also the California Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Gov. Jerry Brown.) \n\nMario Obledo, California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations and California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Governor Jerry Brown, also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton, "California is going to be a Hispanic state.  Anyone who doesn't like it should leave." \n\n\nObledo Is A Member Of "MEChA" And "LA RAZA"\n\n                                                 ********************\n\nThe newly "ELECTED"mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, joined the lawbreakers and proclaimed "this bill in Congress is wrong". Señor Villaraigosa said "The only thing illegal is making 11 million illegal aliens felons." Yeah, he Actually said that. People should make no mistake about it: Villaraigosa was "ELECTED" by ILLEGALs VOTING, and HIS Allegiance, along with the rest of these "ELECTED" public officials in California of Mexican ancestry is to Mexico, not California or these United States of America. Villaraigosa has spent a lifetime opposing U.S. immigration laws.\n\nVillaraigosa is A Member Of  "MEChA"  and  " LA RAZA"\n\n                                               *********************\n\nMEChA and the La Raza movement teach that Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington State make up an area known as "AZTLAN" -- a fictional ancestral homeland of the Aztecs before Europeans arrived in North America. As such, it belongs to the followers of MEChA. These are all areas America should surrender to "La Raza" once enough immigrants, legal or illegal, enter to claim a majority, as in Los Angeles. The current borders of the United States will  be extinguished.\n\n \n\n The Council of La Raza succeeded in having itself added to congressional hearings by Republican House and Senate leaders. And an anonymous senator even gave the Council of La Raza an extra $4 million in earmarked taxpayer money, supposedly for "housing reform," while La Raza continues to lobby the Senate for virtual open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens. \n\n\n\n               http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=13863\n\n                      \n\n"We have an aging white America ...

Probably not.  Our own congressman has forgotten which side of the border he represents.  He does more for the Mexican Government and their people than he does his own.

Woe. Bush meets that criteria!\n\nCentralization of authority. Yep!\nDictator? Call him what you want. Dictator is close.\nStringent economic controls?  Yep. The government controls about everything, including 50% of you paycheck if you aren't rich!\nSuppression of opposition? Bush is known for that. Just ask that CIA agent, or all the records the government seized.\nNationalism and Racism? Hmmm. American language as the "Official" language and just look at the border situation and the fence.\n\nIf he isn't he is sure damn well on his way...don't you think!!

If there is an iron clad agenda to kill our enemy, and to discourage, forever more, the insurgents from entering Iraq, then I say yes.  This would require a serious ratcheting up of our activities, it would require the use of bigger and meaner weapons and ordinance, it would require border crossings to get to the real bad guys.  If this is our game plan, then I say yes.\n\nIf the purpose of sending more troops is to expand patrols and police action, then I say NOT.  We don't need more of the same bull sh it, we need a policy that will destroy the enemy, and let them know, we finally mean business.\n\nSorry, libs, your pacification program has been put back on the shelf!

Oh boy!  You had to go there didn't you?  How many of them do you think will give a honest response?  Of course I suppose this could be reversed if this question was asked to Bush supporters .

He already did. He said he would leave Iraq up to future Presidents to solve. Bush is bailing on Iraq. He said it with his own mouth.

He has actually moved to the right some, but all in all is still quite moderate, Bush being far right does cause conflict with him and he does disagree with him on certain points. I have allot more respect for McCain then most repuglicans that get in lock step with the far right and never mind what the average American people need.
