call matter opposed whether
No matter how you sugarcoat it, whether you call it a 'pathway to citizenship' or 'earned citizenship,' it still amounts to an amnesty, something that is overwhelmingly opposed by the American public.

The best solution is to send them home. Raising the risk level gets them to go home.
bringing cherished civic clearly country deeply hallowed nation national offensive people respect sign spirit traditions warning
It's deeply offensive to the civic spirit of the nation and national pride. It clearly should be a warning sign to Americans that we are bringing in to this country people who do not respect the most hallowed and cherished traditions of the country.
actions attempt believe bush constitute government immediate mexican response rhetoric strong united urge
We believe that the actions and rhetoric of the Mexican government constitute an attempt to infringe on the sovereignty of the United States, and we urge an immediate and strong response from the Bush administration.
budget children class crises guest housing illegal instead jobs kids less manageable middle millions paper piece plentiful says schools state suddenly taxpayers traffic unskilled wants work
Overcrowded, multilingual, schools will not become manageable because the kids are suddenly the children of guest workers, instead of illegal aliens. Millions of unskilled laborers will not magically become high-earning taxpayers because they have work visas. State budget crises will not be alleviated, housing will not become more affordable, traffic will not become less congested, and middle class jobs will not become more plentiful if we give everyone who is here, or who wants to come here, a piece of paper that says they're legal.
assault california class gathering guest leadership massive middle office outside people problem program rarer relentless save seeking solution worker workers
A massive guest worker program is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. The real problem is a relentless assault on middle class workers in this country. The people gathering outside Sen. Feinstein's office will be seeking her leadership to save the middle class worker, before they really do become rarer than the California condor.
chain commitment eliminate family fix fuels migration reduce seeds system
They need to fix the system. Not only do they need to make the enforcement commitments work, they need to reduce immigration ... and eliminate the nepotistic family chain migration system that fuels the seeds of unmanageable immigration growth.
ahead breaking crashing guy ought patiently people plays rules telling waits
That's how we ought to feel when we see an amnesty. People crashing the borders, breaking the law, getting ahead of the line. Telling the guy who waits patiently and plays by the rules that he's a sucker.
aftermath ahead along deal determined expansion foolish gulf history hurricane ignored maintain manage massive move prepared seem serious spite war
This administration ignored warnings that we were not prepared to deal with the aftermath of the war in Iraq. They ignored warnings that we were not prepared to deal with the aftermath of a serious hurricane along the Gulf coast. And, just to maintain foolish consistency, they seem determined to move ahead with the most massive expansion of immigration in the history of mankind, in spite of warnings that we are not prepared to manage such a program.

apply demanding emergence flags foreign frequent laws monday national opportunity people recent rest seen treated weeks
In recent weeks we have seen frequent demonstrations under foreign flags and the emergence of a counter-national anthem. We see people demanding to be treated differently under the law. Monday should be an opportunity for the rest of us to show that we are one nation, with one flag, one national anthem, and one set of laws that apply to everyone.
amnesty amount available choices claiming class effort enforce guest hand item massive middle options people president reasons remain workers
In reality, the choices we have before us are amnesty and guest workers on the one hand -- which would amount to a massive sell-out of the American middle class -- and, on the other hand, a comprehensive enforcement effort that eliminates the reasons why people come and remain in the U.S. illegally. There is a whole smorgasbord of options available to enforce our immigration laws, yet the president is still claiming that there is only one item on the menu.
believe illegal mccain others percent president senators several simply wait
In other words, the illegal aliens will get about 95 percent of what they want immediately and simply have to wait several years for the rest, but President Bush, Senators McCain and Kennedy, and others want us to believe that this is not amnesty.
amnesty approach assessment bush conduct consequences devil effort environmental forward future gotten guest interest mean obligation others prepared president proposing public pushing rational reckless respond rush seem seen senate special utterly workers
The devil is in the details' is an utterly reckless and irresponsible way to conduct public policy. The fiscal, social, environmental and demographic consequences of what the Senate is proposing would be staggering. In an effort to respond to special interest pressure, the Senate and the Bush Administration seem prepared to rush forward without any rational assessment of what it would mean for the future of the nation. We have seen where the 'devil is in the details' approach has gotten us in Iraq. The president and others pushing amnesty and guest workers have an obligation to think this one all the way through before acting.
