I've been thinking today (it happens every now and then! ) and I have thought about something.

Although we are and have GOOD reason to be skeptical about all of this illegal immigration crackdown, maybe we should try to give President Bush a little bit more support for at least the actions that he has taken, as a result of our efforts.

We will SOON know whether this is just a ploy to put his agenda back on the table.....but maybe, just maybe he is trying to see things our way.....or at least meet us somewhere along the path to fixing all of this.

My suggestion is that we should try to hold ourselves to the highest of standards, and although we need to discuss this openly, we can discuss it without calling him every name in the book.

Although I doubt that he reads what we say, I'm sure that someone monitors our opinion and reactions to this supposed crackdown. It wouldn't hurt to let them see that we do appreciate this, but that we certainly are concerned that hidden agendas may exist.

Well, it's just a thought. Today, I just thought about how we could make ourselves look when something right takes place, President Bush does something that we've worked hard for and then we STILL go on a rampage with him.

My suggestion is that we stay vigilant, discuss our concerns openly, but maybe try to tone down a little on our verbal attacks and stay positive while cautious.

I know that some people will disagree, but maybe some will agree. Let's just remember that if we hold ourselves to the highest of standards, we will continue to get the greatest support from all directions and sources.

Many people out there would probably say.....how about being a little grateful for a change. I think we should be grateful.....this is better than nothing as Roy Beck from NumbersUSA said.

I think we should encourage President Bush at this time, not discourage him....yet still express that we are quite concerned about where he is heading from here.

It was just a thought. If he sees that we are not in the least bit appreciative then he might give up.....especially if the going gets rough and illegals start rising up.

We need to give him support, otherwise he may stop trying all together and we will go back to where we were, which was a LOT worse off than where we are at this moment in time.
