That is the typical Republican double standard. They don't like to talk about it. Bush said that we need to accept they are here. I say GET RID OF THEM. THEY ARE HERE ILLEGALLY!!

There are not enough workers to support the current growth of our economy. However, the current state of Home Security mandates tougher border security. Plus there are 15 - 20 million employed illegals, but 5 - 10 million illegals working less than 1 day a week. The illegal market is saturated.
Bush signed the Immigration Bill designed to toughen border security and reform FEMA. He is not pro-illegal alien, but he knows deperting everyone here before steps are taken to fill the need for additional workers would endanger the economy. Plus the tax revenues the illegals account for are supporting his treasury. This year the government received the highest amount in tax revenues in history, illegal aliens played a part in that.

I believe that since the Democrats want illegals for fraudulent voting and Republicans want illegal free labor that politicians have been avoiding the subject.
The talk radio shows on the other hand, have been constantly harping on the subject of illegal aliens. I believe that the Republicans would have continued to avoid the subject.
Just so the Republican politicians know, we will continue to address this issue, It will not go away.
But to answer your question, Republicans have been heckling the President for a long time on this issue, he has been completely out to lunch on immigration

I've been complaining. His Immigration policies STINK to high heaven. He sent 6,000 Guardsman to the Border Un-armed only to have to be babysit by the Border patrol because they had no guns. He signed a Bill to construct 700 Miles of Border fencing Problem is our border is over 2,000 miles long. I'd say it's a TAD short.

Because like it or not illegal immigrants are a cheap labor force and fuel our economy. There is a reason that California has the most illegal immigrants and is the 6th biggest economy in the world and it is only a state. Most people are too racist to think about facts.

Ahh, the TOLERANT LEFT . I seem to recall First lady Clinton telling a group of illegals lobbying to stay in the U.S. how heartwarming it was that they were here ( illegally ) .

Republicans don't heckle. They don't grab signs and march in the streets nude to make a point. They would rather write letters to him or their congressman or senator to voice their opinion.

If you watched Fox News, you'd see plenty of that heckling.
Republicans just have too much dignity to go parading around the streets with whistles and drums to try and get media attention.

Because they are all Catholic. Who do you think is behind all this illegal invasion anyway. Bishop Mahoney filled Dodger Stadium to teach them about Amnesty during the first Amnesty move. You can bet there will be another one.

If we get rid of illegal immigrants, who is going to do the Bush and Cheney family's gardening?
