So, for those of us who watched the Presidental Address tonight, what did ya think? I actually think Bush is moving in the right direction with the border, however I still say we should deport ALL of the illegals. Also, why are we friends and allies with Mexico? Being allies with Mexico is being allied with the "special" kid. I didn't catch all of his speech, so did he talk about oil? I think he should address the oil crisis next.

So what do yall think? Discuss!

reply:
Bush blows chunks
end

Great Thread, Great name for the Thread, with no Public Poll or any Poll at all.

Even as most here are going to be against it, a poll for support or against, a poll on the options would have made this thread an excellent Thread.

From what Dean said on The Daily Show, the "guest-worker program" is just an easy and convenient way to get alot of people deported.

As a diehard Bush supporter I was dissapointed. I wanted a WALL (Not a fence) 50000 NG troops on the border, instant deportation, etc.

Bush gets a D+ on this one, only for effort and attempt.

Would you like a pink unicorn that you can ride around and fly to the moon on too?

I dont think the un-tamperable biometric cards are good enough.

Anybody wants to be a guest worker should submit to an implanted RFID device

The man is crap, the speech was crap. The "guest worker program" is insane, as we have no possible way of verifying the history of an illegal alien (one of the things that makes them illegal). This is just going to cause the flood to widen, with more and more wanting to get in on the bandwagon, all pretending to have been here for five years.

As for troops on the border, it's too big to guard with our guys in Iraq. Either pull out of (or bomb into submission) the latter, or re-institute the draft.

Howard Dean and the daily show..... Hmmmmmm....

You really don't have any idea how big our military is and how many troops we have deployed in combat zones do you?

It reminds me of Mogadishu (Somalia)...
The great Nation of emigrants is made of one unique big race.
The great Nation wants to rule the planet.
The grand nation is internally divided,

The world is laughing at 14 boyish naughty people ignoring any respect for themselves.

That's why we do not pray God.
Let's pray for us, we need it, amen.

Bet you it would scare the crap out of illegal fence jumpers.

Yeah, we could use it.

I'm somewhat surprised he didn't advocate invading Mexico, removing it's government from power and occupying the land for the next five or ten or fifty years.

It's called compromise. Two great American principles conflict. That is when you compromise instead digging trenches for partisan warfare like the dems and reps in congress are doing just so they can get reelected. Congress doesn't give a shit who they affect. They always appeal to prurient interests. And in this case they are doing so again.
The President is taking the high road on this one. And his proposal has better chance of succeeding than what Congress has been trying to pass (either total criminalization or total amnesty).
Its like the energy issue:
Bush is right
Congress is wrong
