do you feel safer that bush wont close the borders 6 years after 911 and a republican congress for 5 years?

Question

keep in mind the following was written in 2004, before bush kept trying to strong arm congress into accepting amnesty.

"If George Bush’s amnesty for between 8 million and 14 million illegal aliens is enacted, you can kiss the old America goodbye. By offering amnesty and residency to millions who broke in line, broke our laws and broke into our country, Bush is not only rewarding wholesale criminality, he proposes to legalize it.

His amnesty will send this message to the world: the candy store is open, and the Americans cannot protect it. Now is the time to bust in.

As there must be billions of people willing to come and work for a fraction of our minimum wage—and exploit our social safety net—the number who could come under the Bush guest-worker program is almost infinite."

"President Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada. This was the hidden agenda behind the Bush administration's true open borders policy."

Answer 1

Absolutely not. It appears that Bush wants the terrorists to attack the USA again and again so that he can keep his war profiteering venture in Iraq going on forever.

He did put an end to the CIA's hunt for OBL in Afghanistan when they were very close to catching him.

Answer 2

No safer, but no less safe either. I live less than an hour from the border, here in the heart of Minuteman (a name given to them by their wives for reasons other than politics) Country, as I have for almost 30 years.

First, people need to accept the fact that nothing will ever be done about the issue. The two big beneficiaries of illegal immigration are: 1.) the Mexican government, and 2.) American business (which is the same as being the American government). As long as they reap the benefits of the existing system—it will stay the existing system—and that is just a fact of life.

Illegal immigration is just another example of political hypocrisy. It gets shopped around every election cycle in order to get votes, and then it disappears until the next time politicians need to play the voting public for fools. The immigration reform debate acted out in Congress most recently was a charade – by both Parties. They never intended to actually do anything, because anything they do will take money out of their pockets.

No wall will ever be built, and if built it would not do any good. And, forget about doing anything about the 10-20 million already here. The friggin’ government could not get 100,000 people out of New Orleans — when they were all in one place — when we knew where they were — and when they wanted us to find them. Good luck rounding up 20,000,000 that are spread out across the nation and who do not want to be found.

The good news is that there are no terrorists entering the US from Mexico. Why would they, since it is –hand’s down– the most difficult and dangerous way possible? (Flying into JFK is easier – and simply more enjoyable.) Researchers from the Nixon Center compiled a database of 373 known or suspected terrorists in North America and Europe since 1993. Their findings, published in the journal “Terrorism and Political Violence” show that not a single one entered the US from Mexico. A study by Syracuse University's Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism states, "it does not appear that authorities have apprehended even a single terrorist trying to cross over the southern border into the United States."

Besides, I watched FOX News fabricate that entire story over the course of a couple weeks. They started out saying there had been ‘rumors’ of terrorists entering America via Mexico. They then referred to ‘reports’ about the ‘rumors’. Then, just the ‘reports’, and the thing just sort of morphed into ‘FOX reality’ - which is no reality. There is a story floating around that some terrorists did approach Mexican drug lords for help getting into America. Apparently, however, they were turned away for the obvious reason that no Drug lord is stupid enough to help blow up his best customers (it’s just bad business).

TheHumbleOne –

And, what planet do you come from, Spaceman?

Let’s see:

-- “2. There are hospitals, schools, electricity and running water in many places in Iraq. Were you aware of that?”

I am aware that is a crock. Utilities are less functional and reliable than before the invasion. And, why hasn’t FOX shown a single picture of any new schools, or roads, or hospitals? FOX b!tches all the time about unreported “good news stories”, but they have nothing to offer themselves (Oliver North’s insane delusions do not count).

For crying out loud, the road to the Baghdad Airport is still not secured. Bush goes to Iraq and cannot even leave the Air Force base (and FOX shows old photos of Bush holding a fake Thanksgiving turkey). How pathetic is that?

Answer 3

I find it fascinating that Republicans do not, cannot, or won't call Bush on this one, for how can he drape himself in the American Flag, go to war in the Middle East on the grounds that we are in a war for our lives with "terror," presumeably start a campaign to rid this country of the danger of terrorists, while all the while our border with Mexico is wide open so his corporate friends and contributors can make huge profits off cheap Mexican labor!

Could it be that Bush knew there was no danger from people crossing the border? Do his actions suggest a lie in the 9/11 story, or is it that he doesn't care at all about our security?

Somehow these questions are never raised.

Answer 4

NOTHING about Bush makes me feel safer or better. He has completely set this country on a path to ruin.

We can only hope saner heads will take over.. and I honestly don't' care which party.. I would just like someone that actually cares about America and the people who live here.. more than every other foreign country.

And i don't want someone who thinks he or she has to have a " legacy" Big deal.. if you are a good president you will be remembered for it.. you shouldn't have to invent it.

Look where Bush's legacy has taken us... How many dead now???

Answer 5

With all due respect, I hope you don’t confine your news sources to broadcast media and liberal networks like CNN. Do yourself a favor and give FOXNEWS a chance. You will find some liberal and some conservative hosts. You will see film clips and hear audio sound bytes you will not have seen or heard on broadcast media. My favorite program is hosted by Brit Hume — just straightforward news, not cutsey or accompanied by drum rolls, etc. See the last segment of his daily broadcast where democrats and republicans discuss important issues of the day.

1. There is good news in Iraq but you won’t see it on broadcast news.
2. There are hospitals, schools, electricity and running water in many places in Iraq. Were you aware of that?
3. President Bush’ tax cuts took 3 years to kick in, but we have the best economy on the planet with a less than 5 percent unemployment rate.
4. Whatever Pres. Bush has done, we have not had a horrific attack such as “9/11” since that time. How many times have you heard that stressed?
5. Independent examinations of the votes in Florida proved that although Pres. Bush won by an unbelievably small margin, he did win — fair and square. Did you see that on the front pages anywhere?

I do not claim that Pres. Bush is infallible, but I do believe he was not given a fair chance since Day 1 of his presidency. He has a Master’s Degree in Business Administration, and is a no-nonsense businessman, but unfortunately, is not a good public speaker. There are others who may be good public speakers, but who I would not trust as far as I could throw them.

Our intelligence was not the only intelligence to claim Saddam had WMDs, and you may recall Pres. Clinton claimed this some years ago. Congress saw the same proof presented to Pres. Bush about WMDs and voted him authority to proceed. Now they say they were duped. If they know all the answers, how come they were so easily “duped”?

If our country is so bad, why are people from all over the world literally “dying to get in”?

Hear and see both sides of an issue before you make up your mind.

Answer 6

I am completely against this and this is the reason I am following American Politics so closely.

All the candidates will continue with the SPP / NAU except for two candidates which are Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich.
