Heres an article from Yahoo news.
CRAWFORD, Texas - With 6,000 National Guard troops deployed to Southwestern states, President Bush said Saturday he has fulfilled his pledge to help beef up border security and challenged Congress to give him legislation that will welcome more foreigners into the country. Speaking in his weekly radio address, Bush said immigration reform can only be successful if the get-tough border security to keep people from sneaking in is combined with opportunities for more immigrants to enter the country legally.

"By passing comprehensive immigration reform, we will uphold our laws, meet the needs of our economy and keep America what she has always been — an open door to the future, a blessed and promised land, one nation under God," Bush said Saturday. He recorded the remarks Friday from his ranch near Crawford, Texas, where he is on a 10-day vacation from the White House.

Bush wants to provide more temporary worker permits for foreigners willing to take low-wage jobs and allow illegal immigrants working in the United States for some time to become citizens. But Congress has been unable to agree on such legislation.

Conservatives in Bush's party have stood firm against his plans and say the U.S. should instead strengthen security along the border to keep illegal immigrants out.

In an attempt to appease them, Bush announced in May that he would send 6,000 National Guard troops to the border by Aug. 1.

"The arrival of National Guard units has allowed the Border Patrol to move more agents into front-line positions, and this additional manpower is delivering results," Bush said in the radio message. "With the support of the National Guard, Border Patrol agents have seized over 17,000 pounds of illegal drugs and caught more than 2,500 illegal immigrants since June 15th."

Bush didn't mention that only about half of the troops assigned to the four states bordering Mexico are on duty along the border. Many are still in training, the Guard said Monday.

Bush said, "Rational and comprehensive immigration reform must begin with border security, and we have more to do." He said he asked Congress to fund increases in manpower and technology, including high-tech fences, motion sensors, infrared cameras and unmanned aerial vehicles to prevent illegal crossings.

But he said immigration reform must include four other goals to be successful:

_A temporary worker program.

_More ways for employers to verify whether workers are in the country legally.

_A path to citizenship for illegal immigrants already working in the country.

_Tools to help immigrants learn English and otherwise assimilate.

Wouldnt it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldnt have to wait so long?
And wouldnt it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong?

You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldnt it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new?
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through?

Happy times together weve been spending
I wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldnt it be nice?

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldnt be a single thing we couldnt do
We could be married
And then wed be happy

Wouldnt it be nice?

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Wouldnt it be nice?

When are we going to realise that the UN is not some all-powerful 'entity' that can solve problems. The UN is the decision-making body for member countries, and reflects the thoughts/policies of MEMBER states.
Let's stop continually blaming the 'UN' for our failures, and also stop trying to impose 'western solutions' on problems that the West don't or can't understand. (Or caused in the first place) There are always two sides to a conflict.
Only then will the UN have some credibilty.

I was hanging around the courthouse listening to the election results and was in a discussion with some people there. I found out some of these people voted for the worst candidate because they felt sorry for them and wanted them to have some votes. I would never do this myself because if enough people did this then a nimrod could get elected.

So have any of yall voted for a candidate because you knew they would lose and why did you vote that way?
