We can't just remove people from the country, says Bush on immigration

I watched President Bush and his photo-op on the southern border today. I was drop-jawed at his comment, "... we can't just remove people from the country". No one is suggesting that tomorrow we try to deport somewhere between 12 and 20 million illegal aliens to their native country. But to say we 'can't remove' people from this country is just stupid. We do it every day, by the bus load and also by the plane load, at a cost of $600.00 per individual (Fox News Channel).

Be sure, we can remove anybody we want from this country if they break our laws. Those of us who simply want to enforce the laws we already have and pass a border security bill, are sometimes referred to as racist, like some have called Lou Dobbs.

Immigration is not a 'party-line' debate. Democrats and Republicans are siding against other Democrats and Republicans on many of the issues, while some Hispanic Americans want to make immigration easier and others want to deport unauthorized immigrants.

Bush: Too Little - Too Late

Bush's response to our border issue is too little, too late. Todays visit down to the borders is just a distraction from the fact he, as Presidents past allowed our borders to be used as a revolving door for illegal immigrants, the MS-13 gang, which has ties to Al-Qaida and many more criminals that should never have been allowed to enter into the United States. ...

As things stand now with our border issues, with that back door having been left open for much too long we face yet another September 11 style catastrophe. Will it happen soon, God only knows, but it will happen and Bush and the previous Presidents, including our current political slime will have blood on their hands. Why? Just for a vote and serving ones own political aspirations over the wishes and will of the people - over the greater good for our nation's security. All for their own day of glory at the poll boxes. Too little - too late. (Read it all at Freedom Watch)

Tens of millions of low-income Americans will soon have to show their birth certificates or U.S. passports if they want to obtain health care through their state Medicaid programs.

The requirement that beneficiaries provide proof of citizenship goes into effect July 1. It’s designed to root out cases of illegal immigrants getting their health care paid for by the government.

In what many are calling a bellwether race, Republican Brian Bilbray won a seat in the House of Representatives at the polls in California yesterday, replacing former Representative Randy “Duke” Cunningham. Hailed as ‘the race’ to watch to forecast the mood of the American voter this fall, Republicans would be wise to heed the message being sent to Washington.

I didn’t think it was going to take long for the MSM to jump on the “pity party” bandwagon started by the Des Moines Register. It didn’t.
