PRESIDENT BUSH AND HARRY REID OUT OF TOUCH ON IMMIGRATION
It pains me to have to lump the name of a sitting GOP President with that of a very liberal Democrat Senate Majority Leader, but the actions of both men have placed them in the same category over the attempted revival of the Senate Amnesty Bill.
I have never been one to hesitate in criticizing President Bush on issues that I disagree with even though I am a member of the RNC. I have disagreed strongly on his push to compromise especially on entitlements and other government spending. Illegal Immigration is another issue that I differ from the President and it is obvious especially in light of statements that he has made in the past few days that he is completely out of touch with the pulse of the American people on this issue.
In a similar light Majority Leader Harry Reid is also. In his attempt to make the GOP look bad over this bill he stated to the media yesterday that it was the Republicans fault that the bill was tabled last Friday and that the President had to get 25 GOP Senators on board to get the bill to pass.
Now I don't know about you, but as a member of the GOP I am proud that Republicans have derailed this amnesty bill because it is such a BAD piece of legislation. Not only does it offer amnesty to illegal aliens but it allows them most of the rights and privileges that we who are legal citizens of this country are allowed under the law. This given through the Z-Visa program as a reward for breaking the law.
Bush actually thinks that the people are not understanding this bill and it is up to he and those in the Senate who favor the bill to educate the people on the merits of the bad legislation. Mr. President there ARE NO MERITS to this bill and we know it.
The White House comment line has been flooded with calls and comments as well as the e-mail to the White House. So much so that both crashed because of the huge response in telling Bush that we the people DO NOT WANT this passed. We understand it and know what it will cost as well as the fact that it allows the law to be broken and amnesty to those same law breakers.
In my own State of South Carolina our two Senators are at odds with each other over the bill. Lindsay Graham a John McCain clone, who is running for the VP spot if, (not likely), McCain gets the nod for the nomination, is one of the co-sponsors of the bill and is receiving tremendous criticism here in the Palmetto State.
Our Junior Senator Jim DeMint has been very vocal in his opposition and in fact is one of the Senators who has been attempting to amend the bill as a means of stalling the vote which resulted in Reid removing it from the floor last Friday.
Though the White House lines have been flooded we still have the power to stop this bad legislation by voicing our opinion. Continue to call and e-mail Senators and the President. If the lines are busy or the e-mail full or crashed, keep trying until successful.
We tabled it once and can and must continue to stop this bill until it no longer shows its ugly face in the Senate again. Bush and Reid may be out of touch , but we the people still have our voice and they can and will listen.
If you want to get in touch with the people Mr. President, close the borders, enforce the law, penalize employers and dry up the jobs which will send the illegals packing back to Mexico.

Yep, I agree!
Ken, your last sentence sums up what the bill should read... In one sentence you laid it out! It doesn't take 700 pages of gobbledy-gook to write what should be done. You just proved it. You wrote it in thirty words! :)
How 'bout you Bushies just enforce the laws already on the books?
Hey Mudkitty, did you even bother to read the posting ?
I stated that in the last sentence of the story.
Yeah - you'd think one would be flattered to be reiterated.
But hey - the dishonesty in this article starts with the title, in which you try and tie the Bush albatross around Reid's neck. The fact is that YOU ALL voted for Bush. Not me. Not "us."
The scurrying away from Bush that all you wingers and republicans are doing is so transparent.
You want to make Reid and Bush kissin cousins, and I'm busting you on it.
On this piece of garbage legislation THEY ARE KISSIN' COUSINS!
The Congress put the bill together Mudkitty not Bush. He is backing it since it fits what he wants. Congress makes legislation not the president.
The Democrat Congress put this bill together and the only thing that has tabled it is the fight against it by GOP Senators!
I think the Republicans are going to take Kennedy's name off of it, and add some things and remove the entire family comming over here and all that crap.
They may come up with a bill we all can live with (Well most of us) but it MUST start with building the fence!!
"Bush and Reid may be out of touch , but we the people still have our voice and they can and will listen." A worthy effort..Reid might listen, but the President's strength is obstinancy..
Marie thinks republicans are going to take Kennedy's name off it...how adorable.
Bush says that they do jobs that no one else in the USA will do. which I do not believe, But OK, lets say for the minute that it’s true, so what? They still should just go through the proper procedures to get a VISA and get paid at least minimum wage with benefits like everyone else. And be LEGAL
It seems like neither Bush or anyone seems to want to punish these lawbreakers, what give there?
Why are they not deported when they are found? I remember years ago, I used to read about raids in the neighborhood stores or coffee shops where they rounded up the illegals and kicked them out of the country. I never see that anyomre.......
