What is Bush going to say about immigration on Tuesday?

Question

Here is what FAIR thinks:

"What we will hear from President Bush on Tuesday will be a radical immigration agenda that is designed to satisfy business's demands for an endless supply of low wage labor, but one that will represent a looming disaster for the vast majority of Americans," predicted Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). "For Americans who work for a living, who pay taxes, send their kids to public schools, care about the environment, or who believe that a nation is more than just a random collection of people who happen to share a piece of geography, what the president will call for will be the undermining of their hopes and aspirations."

While President Bush's plans for what he calls immigration reform will be long on rhetoric, it is certain to be short on details. Important questions such as, how many immigrants would qualify for what will amount to an amnesty program; how many additional relatives will subsequently be reunited; how massive a bureaucracy would be required to implement an amnesty of this magnitude; how meaningful background checks would be carried out on tens of millions of applicants; what impact such a proposal would have on U.S. population growth and the environment; how local governments would pay for additional services and infrastructure; and other critical concerns will not be addressed because neither the president nor the congressional leadership has the vaguest idea."

What do you expect from him? Do you agree with FAIR?

No, Sandi, actually I think they have been hiding the impacts of illegal immigration as hard as they could, on the one hand because there is so much money in it for employers, and on the other hand because Democrate elite see immigration as a road to EVENTUAL bigger unions and more voters, nevermind the quality of life or education of those rightfully here.

Answer 1

Yep......shame we can't hi-jack him and Congress and force them to spend time at the border or live in these communities without aid of security protection and see if it's "not that big a deal". Let Cheney sit in the ER waiting (like the rest of us has to do) his turn in our local hospitals and see if it's "no big deal". Lets strand Obama and lets see....Jesse Jackson in that violent area of California where blacks are practically jumped on sight by latin gangs and have them say it's "no-big deal". Pull all their kids and grand-kids out of their private schools and elite neighborhoods and stick them the public school and see how they fare. They are so out of touch with the reality of living with it.....they need to be woke up. Everyone that has gone to these problem areas has said there's a serious problem and it needs to stop. Helicopter drops and 100% security to the safest areas , hardley gives a realistic picture.

Answer 2

The good news for America is anything Bush sends to congress is D.O.A. Bush has never wavered on his plan.

No Illegal Immigrant Left Behind



In light of the struggles and challenges faced by illegal immigrants the President through the Department of Labor is announcing a new plan to empower illegal immigrants towards success in their new homeland. The Presidents initiative “No Illegal Immigrant Left Behind” will provide be an estimated 20,000,000 illegal immigrants everything they need to be successful in America and become millions of “points of light”. The “No Illegal Immigrant Left Behind” program will consist of the following.



* A system of immigration full of fraud and abuse that through its beaurocratic inefficiencies and incompetence allows millions of illegal immigrants to easily sneak into the United States. As an added bonus deserving immigrants with skills that could benefit the American economy and that follow the law will be buried in paperwork and denied legal entry for years.



* Once in the US illegal immigrants will easily be able to obtain false documents that allow them to work, enroll their children in school, own and transfer real and personal property, vote, receive public assistance and obtain discounted or free medical care.



* Incentives will be provided to employers to hire illegal immigrants. Employers will be allowed to ignore immigration laws, disregard employment verification checks, pay less than prevailing wages and provide absolutely no benefits to illegal immigrants.



* Children of illegal immigrants will be provided free k12 educations and cannot be held back or required to learn English. College tuition will be the in state rate and tuition assistance programs must be made available to them.



* Illegal Immigrants will not be required to pay taxes as many employers prefer to pay wages “under the table” and “in cash.” Additionally “out of country” tax free transfers of money can be sent home as often as you like without government interference. Note: This privilege is specifically not available to US citizens as it is considered tax evasion or money laundering.



* Illegal immigrants will not be required to register for the selective service (draft) system as American citizens are required to do.



These and many other benefits await you in America. Vienen los amigos a América
