The Numbers Game

China has become the factory of the world. 1.2 billion Chinese ensure a seemingly limitless source for cheap, but mostly unskilled labor, even at the current one-child-only policy. It seems the US wants to hedge its bet by competing with China and Indi…

I think Bush will pull this off. At least he has a plan. What do the Democrats offer as an alternative, opening the border and letting the terrorists come in?

DYNASTY
How best to ensure that the Bush dynasty continues from 41 and 43 to Jeb (FLA.) as 44 and eight years later George’s nephew “P” who has hispanic mother, 45? The best way is to champion the illegal aliens plight and the country’s hispanic voters, legal and illegal. Remember “Today we march, tomorrow we vote”?
I don’t believe that they figured that it would be such a mess as it’s turned out. But prez had gone down this road and doesn’t seem able to turn back. Great plan except the demanding illegal aliens!
The civilian border people and groups, they got started some years ago, long before that “MEAN TO ME” bill that was passed in the House. They are rangling for a third party. They saw the hispanic vote on the wall and are trying to foil these Bush dynasty plots. Failing that Gilchrist and Simcox will become demoCraps supportors.
SECURE THE BORDER
BUILD IT AND THEY WON’T COME
IF ILLEGAL YOU WILL NEVER BECOME A CITIZEN
JUST DO IT!

Also to those who are in favor of a guest worker program, you should have to answer the following questions.

1) What agency or agencies will be administering the guest worker program?
I assume it will be INS but INS is currently doing a horrific job enforcing
current laws and regulations. So it will need an enormous infusion of
funds or the creation of a new bureaucracy.

2) Is the guest worker program open for illegals already in country or for
new wokers not currently in country? Is this guest worker plan open to
every country in the world or is this strictly limited to south american
labor?

3) How will illegal immigrants take part in the guest worker program?
Will they be able to apply in-country or will they have to go to their
home country and apply?

4) Who will be able to apply, single men, men and woman, married
couples with children? What happens if the guest worker gets
pregnant and has a child or a guest worker fathers a child in-country?

5) What industries will be able to use guest workers?

6) How will employers place orders for guest workers?

7) I have heard proposals for up-to 1.5 million guest workers, once the
number has been set, will it be hard or soft cap?

What sort of non-forgeable documentation will be given to the guest worker?
Will the documentation list their country of origin, place of residence, and guest
worker occupation?
If a guest worker is fired or his job eliminated, will he have to leave the country
or will he be able to pursue a new guest worker occupation?

9) How will we keep track of the guest workers and make sure employers use
authorized guest workers only?

10) How long will a guest worker be allowed to participate in the program
before he must return to his home country?

11) Will they be allowed to pursue permanent status in-country or will they
have to return to their home country and apply?

12) What sort of boarder enforcement will be implemented?
We canâ€™t have a guest worker program and still have hundreds
of thousands of illegals streaming across the boarder.

Please feel free to add to the question list.

We are at a tipping point in our society. Our sovreignty is being challenged by a third world country. The Mexican government is for all-intents-and-purposes controlling our immigration policy. When I hear these politicians they seem to be more concerned with the rights of the illegals than the rights and wishes of the American people, and it disgusts me.

[...] Update: The Times of London puts it bluntly, and accurately. They neglect to mention that it’s not working. Moran, meanwhile, chooses to light a candle rather than curse the darkness by offering advice to Bush. [...]

As I have said before, this whole immigration reform debate is utter nonsense. The politicians have no desire to secure the border, if they did it would have been secure. We have had many so-called immigration reforms and all it has done is make things worse. The Mexican government is for all-intents-and-purposes, in control of our immigration policy. A descion has been made at every level of our state, local and federal governments that the United States should become a Northern province of Mexico, there can simply be no denying that fact. We donâ€™t secure our
borders, we have sancutary laws in many big cities, we do very little interior enforcement, etc. We have bi-lingual education in schools, we print official documents in spanish, when you call most comapnies you have to press one to continue in english, etc.. we are not assimilating them they are assimilating us.
And some of the provisions for guest worker programs call for up-to 1.5 million workers per year!! Why exactly is it in the overall best interest for the United States to import desperatly poor, poorly educated low skilled labor? I will tell you why, big labor and the corporations want it, and by god, the politicians are going to deliver. So while the corporations bottom line swells, the ordinary taxpayer is left holding the bag for the illegals, educational needs, their medical
needs and their incarceration needs. Donâ€™t be fooled by the words of President Bush, he is more concerned for the well-being of the Mexican people than he is for
the American people.

[...] FOLLOW-UP III: I don’t agree with every element that Rick Moran of Rightwing Nuthouse would ideally like to hear tonight from the president, but I categorically agree with this statement: I may be dreaming about the President making a speech such as Iâ€™ve outlined above. But he could have much of his immigration package if he started to talk like, well, an American President and not like an English speaking echo of Vincente Fox. [...]

“I will part ways with many conservative here but by all means, go ahead and double legal immigration.”

Well, you won’t be parting ways with ME, Rick.

That’s one of the more infuriating things about the pro-Amnesty wing of the GOP, when they start screaming that we of the Secure Our Borders crowd are “anti-immigration.”

We’re anti-ILLEGAL immigration.

But somehow the petulant preemies can’t wrap their little brains around that difference.

Thanks for the link, Rick. Agreed that Gateway Pundit’s post is a screamer, but just FYI, the bit you attributed to him there is mine.

If he says “comprehensive immigration reform” fewer than five times, I’ll take it as a moral victory.
