SkyChimp 0 #1 June 13, 2007 I know we've had a few threads on amnesty lately but please be objective and view this short video thru it's entirety. Gingrich hit this subject dead on and I have to say that I'm pissed at Bush. (Somebody make a note of that. I don't believe I've ever said that before) http://hotair.com/archives/2007/06/03/video-newt-unloads-on-bush-and-the-amnesty-bill/ Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

mnealtx 0 #2 June 13, 2007 That site is blocked over here, but I don't care for the bill to begin with. I think they need to get the enforcement part of it under control before starting anything on visa issues...Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

Gawain 0 #4 June 13, 2007 Speaker Gingrich is remarkably well spoken, and plainly practical. I don't think he'll run for the White House, but I hope he will find a more active role in government again if conditions permit it after the 08 elections.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Every time he is confronted with the question, he ducks it, but never says he won't. It's up to us as countrymen to either hold the Senate and Congress accountable or replace them.

billvon 3,118 #7 June 13, 2007 You have to give Bush credit for one thing. After six years he has succeeded with one of his campaign promises - he has united democrats and republicans. (Against him, but hey, he never said how he would unite them.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dorbie 0 #10 June 13, 2007 There's no question the Republican base is almost universally pissed off over this. It's amazing to witness the executive basically giving everyone the bird. But this goes beyond their base as far as I can see. Ask a politician what happens to illegals who don't pay their fine or don't apply for a z visa. There's not even an answer to that. There's no plan and no intention of deporting anyone even with this framework in place. Newt's closing comments make a lot of sense, but it only serves to illustrate a lack of will to enforce existing laws. The government is absolutely complicit in this in the face of public opposition.

If it were a million illegals with MD, MBA or JD degrees crossing the border, a fence would be built tomorrow tonight.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
