Worldnetdaily Does Bush think he is president of Mexico? Is Bush the president of Mexico? Apparently he believes he is. Last week he made his case to the Mexican people for what he euphemistically calls "comprehensive immigration reform" in the U.S. He pledged to do more for the Mexican people. Huh? Is that what Americans elected Bush to do? More for the Mexican people? What about his own country? What about his own people? And does Bush believe emptying out more than 10 percent of the Mexican population into the U.S. is somehow a service to the country and people of Mexico? Because that's what his open-border policies have helped to accomplish so far. Here is what Bush said, word for word, last week in his meeting with the president of Mexico, Felipe Calderón: "Señor Presidente, thank you very much for your gracious hospitality. I think you picked a perfect place to invite Laura and me and our delegation. It's a beautiful land. It is a spectacular day. And our meetings were constructive. Thank you, first lady, for your hospitality, as well. "Relations between Mexico and the United States are muy importante. We've got a great history. We've got a strong tradition of working together. And my job, Mr. President, is to do all I can to work with you to advance progress on both sides of the border. "There are issues, of course, issues that we discussed today and will continue to discuss in a manner of respect and dignity. Perhaps the biggest issue concerning your country is the issue of migration. America is a country of law, we'll respect law, but America is also a hospitable country, a country that recognizes the value of each human being. And as the president of your grand country, I know you're deeply concerned about how your citizens are treated within our country. And my pledge to you and the people of Mexico is they'll be treated with respect and dignity. "The best way to do that is to pass a migration law that upholds the values of America, and at the same time, allows us to respect the rule of law. As I told you in private, as you expressed your deep concerns about whether or not America can pass such a law, that I will use all the efforts I can, working with both Republicans and Democrats, to pass such a piece of legislation. "We spent a lot of time talking about Mexico's important role in the world, and I thank you for your leadership, Mr. President. You're president of a great country. You will use your influence to foster social justice and prosperity and peace. I look forward to your leadership on such issues -- I look forward to helping you as best I can, as best as you request to do so. "And I, too, would like to offer a toast. I'd like to offer a toast to the great people of a great country, nuestro amigo, México, and to your salud, Mr. President. " Now, not to be a grammatical nitpicker, but I'd like to bring your attention to the exact words Bush used in paragraph 3: "And as the president of your grand country, I know you're deeply concerned about how your citizens are treated within our country." What Bush is literally saying here, though I acknowledge it is probably a result of his tendency to scramble syntax, is that he, George W. Bush, is president of Mexico. That's what it means. And while this is in all likelihood a slip of the tongue, I think it is worth pointing out in light of Bush's tendency to act more like the president of Mexico than the president of the U.S.

Yep. Secret Bush plan to give Social Security benefits to illegal Press 1 for English, Press 2 for English, Press 3 for deportation Death of Habeas Corpus: “Your words are lies, Sir.”
And now that he's a lame duck there is no limit to the lame shit he's going to cram down our throats. Same with the House nig- I mean republicans who are now going to roll over like cheap trick poodles. They can't help themselves. They're in the minority. McConnell eyes 'bipartisan' illegals bill By S.A. Miller and Christina Bellantoni THE WASHINGTON TIMES March 19, 2007 Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says Republicans are trying to craft a "bipartisan solution" to illegal immigration -- generating concern among party members who consider President Bush's goal to be amnesty. Mr. McConnell, echoing Mr. Bush's optimism for overhauling immigration law to include citizenship opportunities for illegal aliens, said senators are trying to pull Republicans "together behind our proposal." "There's a pretty broad desire to have an accomplishment, to do something, even among members who voted against final passage last year. There is still a lot of sentiment that a comprehensive bill would be the right thing to do," said Mr. McConnell, Kentucky Republican. Mr. Bush last week told foreign leaders he sees reasons for optimism and said that "the mood in the Congress seems like it has changed" in favor of completing a broad bill that includes a path to citizenship -- the linchpin of an agreement he hopes to strike with congressional Democrats, who call it "earned legalization." He said his goal is to have Senate Republicans settle on a "coherent" position first, then approach Senate Democrats, particularly Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, who likely will be the chief sponsor of the main Senate bill. Mr. Kennedy said his bill will be based on the one the Senate passed last year when Republicans controlled Congress. That plan also provided for enhanced border security, a guest-worker program and a path to citizenship for illegal aliens. House Republicans refused to vote on it, arguing that granting citizenship to illegals amounts to amnesty and a reward for law-breaking. The House should be an easier sell for Mr. Bush this year, with Democrats now in control. Some rank-and-file House Republicans worry their leaders will have a change of heart under pressure from the White House and support the Democrats. "It is very disconcerting to me because I don't know where the leadership is on this," said Rep. Tom Tancredo, Colorado Republican and outspoken critic of amnesty for illegal aliens. "If the president is going to weigh in on this, I don't know what [Majority Leader John A. Boehner] and the rest of my leadership are going to do," Mr. Tancredo said. "We are going to be defense more than offense." The House Republican leaders say they remain opposed to granting citizenship rights. According to what I've read we have two months or less to rattle the panes of the Capitol before this is a done deal. The phone have got to ring in Congress like nobody's business.
Nullus vir bonus bellum cupit.
So far, I've only located the cover page of the Bush Border Security Plan. But I'm still looking. Press 1 for English, Press 2 for English, Press 3 for deportation Death of Habeas Corpus: “Your words are lies, Sir.”
I really have no idea how to fight this power. Save your time with phone calls, faxes, emails, etc. to your elected elite representative; It's useless. Nothing short of millions in the streets and at our borders will get their attention.
