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.
america amnesty bill bush compete cooking countless guest jobs lead maintain massive middle numbers people plan president public result specter struggling trying unlimited wages wave workers
While countless Americans see their real wages falling, and are struggling to maintain a foothold in the middle class, Sen. Specter and President Bush are cooking up a plan that will lead to their marginalization. What they are trying foist upon the American public as 'immigration reform' will be a fraud-ridden amnesty and unlimited numbers of new guest workers to compete for the jobs American workers still hold. If this bill should ever be enacted, the America that most people know will become unrecognizable as a result of the most massive wave of immigration in history.
border broken bush citizens class concerned country decades few given guest hold hope illegal jobs justify leave means middle might president promises proposal record simply talked time work worker workers
But there is not much hope for Americans in blue-collar work being able to hold their jobs if the guest worker proposal is adopted. Concerned citizens will not have much hope that today's illegal workers will leave the country after being given six-year work permits, and they will simply have to hope that there is still a middle class in a few years. President Bush also talked about 'stronger immigration enforcement and border protection,' and we might hope that after decades of broken promises that this time he really means it, but the record does not justify much hope.
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.
bush civil concern disasters foreign foreigners home legal natural president reason status strife victims
America's humanitarian concern for foreign victims of natural disasters or civil strife is being abused by President Bush when he extends legal status to foreigners in the US when there is no reason that they could not go home safely.
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.

You know how you feel when you're sitting in traffic on the freeway hours on end, and some guy just zips along on the shoulder and butts in front of everybody?
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.
based cheap endorsed enforce labor plan political public reality surrender true
What the WGA has endorsed is not an immigration plan 'based in reality,' but a surrender plan based on capitulation to cheap labor interests. What is needed, and what the American public is demanding, is a true enforcement plan that is based in reality and the political will to enforce this nation's laws.
address amendment believe bill border broken direction fix looking meaningful moving number reform security top until
Border Security and enforcement need to be the number one priority. Until we fix our broken borders, we can't address immigration reform in any meaningful and constructive way. We believe the Nelson, Sessions, Coburn Amendment is moving in the right direction by looking at an enforcement only bill as a top priority.
beyond certainly congress course cycle either election history leaders looked middle nation next path people productive remember remembered sent vibrant worries
Every politician, and certainly every president, worries about how history will remember them. This administration and this Congress will either be remembered as the people who sent the nation hurtling down the path to catastrophic overpopulation, or the leaders who looked beyond the next election cycle and set the nation on a course of sustainable growth, with a vibrant and productive middle class.
bill control follow house lead option pass regain
There can be only one option at this point: Follow the lead of the House and pass an enforcement-only bill that allows us to regain control of our nation's immigration policies.
