Thread: George Putnam: Is Bush Getting Tougher On Immigration ?

One Reporter's Opinion – Is Bush Getting Tougher on Immigration?
George Putnam
Friday, Dec. 2, 2005

Having concluded his trip to Arizona, trying once again to sell the idea of a massive illegal alien amnesty and admission of millions of additional foreign "guest workers," he was driven along the Mexican border. Listen to what the president had to say after completing the brief journey:


It's dangerous here," Bush said, "I mean, there's no other way to look at it, and that's why these folks [speaking of the Border Patrol] need more resources and more agents to help them and that's what we're providing."

Need we remind him that agents in the sector he described caught 122,600 illegal immigrants in fiscal 2005 and that's up from 104,000 in 2004!


Yes, the president is speaking tougher than usual about border security and immigration enforcement; nonetheless, under the Bush proposal, millions of illegal aliens would be reclassified as "temporary workers" and be allowed to remain here for up to six years.

In addition, the president has repeatedly called for unlimited admission of additional foreign workers in an effort to "match willing workers with willing employers" at whatever wages the employer wishes to pay.


Meanwhile, The Associated Press (Nov. 7, 2005) reports that illegal aliens are now being offered protection by the U.S. Labor Department. AP reports that the U.S. Department of Labor and Mexico's Foreign Ministry pledge to protect the rights (especially fair pay and safe working conditions) of immigrant workers whether they are in the U.S. legally or not.


Listen to what Peter Accolla of the Labor Department Office of Trade Agreement Implementation has to say: "It is not the policy of the Department of Labor to penalize and expose workers regardless of their status." Accolla joined Bosco Marti, Mexico's foreign relation point man on North American affairs and Mexican consuls from across the U.S., to review progress made on two agreements between the two countries. Go figure.


Every year Time magazine tells us 3 million illegal aliens stream across the border and settle in the U.S. Many illegals actually open U.S. bank accounts, obtain driver's licenses, secure home mortgages and matricula consular cards, and now receive "protection" using our own government to help them continue to break the laws.


The president is right when he says that "It's dangerous here ... there's no other way to look at it" and that the Border Patrol needs more resources and more agents to help them. But while the president's talk is tougher than usual, it is time that he carry through on his promises to the American public.


It is all so simple, Mr. President and Congress: Just follow the law. You have three administration priorities:

Require employers to verify work eligibility and penalize noncompliance.
Integrate state-federal immigration law enforcement.
Cut overall levels of immigration.
Unless the American people see real, tangible immigration law enforcement, no one will believe you've made a serious commitment. It's no longer time to talk the talk; it's time to walk the walk.

In a word...............

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we should disband the US Department of Labor. I see no reason to continue with such a department. All they do is count workers that show up at the offices who never get a job because the new jobs, the few that come up, were filled by the ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION NETWORK.

In addition, I do not think the US Senate should ever approve a Cabinet appointee that was not born to American Citizens.

Somehow that "early training" just sticks too long. Chao is from Taiwan, daughter of Father who is Mainland Chinese whose friends are all in charge of Beijing now. He runs a shipping business out of New Jersey and sells his ships to China to carry over all these imported products that put our people out of work and into poverty and/or debt.

The WITCH introduced a proposal to eliminate automatic over-time pay for workers earning less than $22,000 a year. Her "theory" was that this would help them get more hours. Right. BUT WRONG! We have a 40 hour work week in the United States. If we wanted a Third World Economy we'd all move to Mexico or China. She thought We were paying her to force our fellow citizens earning $11 an hour or less into forced work with no hours limitation. Employers could force employees to work 60, 70, 80 hours a week. Employers could force them to 18 hour days, 7 days a week. The WITCH thought this was what WE were paying her to do. See? This is why we need to put a "hold" on immigration until WE have time to sort out this mess and the impact of such people like Chao and her family gaining entry into the United States.

So far, I see nothing but harm as a result of this family having been permitted entry into the United States.

Fortunately, Congress had some balls then and defeated her absurd proposal. What President would allow a WackoWitch like THIS to run the US Labor Department and submit Dark Age Tyranny Proposals like this to the United States Congress?

Only One. George Wackident Bush.

IMPEACH THIS WACKO SO WE CAN FIRE ALL HIS STUPID WICKED WORTHLESS CABINET.

PS--WITCH CHAO is married to Mitch McConnell, United States Senator, US Foreign Relations Committee. Obviously Mitch thought his second little wife was very clever with her "proposal".

Taking a tour in his Limo is cowardly. Hs is so much out of touch and losing whats left of his mind. WHAT HE IS DOING, IS MAKING SURE WORD GETS OUT 'HURRY UP AMIGOS, THAT RUSH FOR FREEDOM IS ON, LETS GET THIS DONE BEFORE CONGRESS GETS BACK, AND WE SHALL CONFUSE THEM'! 'SPREAD THE WORD, WE ARE OFFERING GUEST WORKER PROGRAMS FOR EVERYONE!

Right On, Butterbean!!
