The bill which budgets money to hire 3000 border control agents, improve explosive detection at airports and provides money to double the amount of cargo screened on passenger aircraft busts his budget targets by $2.1 billion. Or the same amount it cost the President to run the Iraq war for thirty days, funding for which he just asked for last month and received $23.1 billion or ten times the amount that is now being called tax and spend policies.
Are the Democrats suckered again? Or perhaps they are just not trying that hard? Maybe they are taking money from the same lobbies that back the President. What was the point of electing a Democratic majority if they still do the Presidents bidding? And they wonder why their approval rating is in the tank, well it’s one thing to be a dumb ass but how stupid do you have to be to be fooled by one over and over.
The immigration reform bill like all legislation Bush proposes calls for the American public to just trust him, but once it’s passed then it’s just too late just like NAFTA and GATT. Gang members must promise to be nice and corporations must promise that they couldn’t find an American to do the job before they hire an alien at that new lower salary. We won’t have any background checks because we trust every one. And to all the immigrants who have waited in line and filled out paper work and waited on waiting lists for years you don’t mind if we let 12 to 20 million go ahead of you do you?
How stupid do they think we are? And just how stupid are we? To see this turkey trotted out yet again, claiming this one is new and improved granting entitlements to millions who have never paid in and placing burdens on state and local governments without even a consultation and not doing one damn thing beside granting probationary citizenship in exchange for a promise.
To the millions in Latin America the message is clear, come and they will grant you amnesty sooner or later. To the millions of Americans outsourced and undercut living paycheck to paycheck it’s easy enough to see through the sales pitch. For me it’s an unholy trinity of Bush, Reid and Kennedy and I smell army recruiter these guys are just too eager to sell this turkey and are just too nice.
